Hi! This was posted from the Mastodon X11 app on IRIX, SiliconGraphics Octane2!

@flexion That’s pretty rad.

[flexion@oldbytes.space]

Mastodon app on IRIX can now post toots! YAY
well, I have to make the input field multi line in the next release

[byte@awawa.club]

[flexion@oldbytes.space]

And this morning I also wrote the function to oauth authorize the X11 app to use your mastodon account.

[layered@oldbytes.space]

[flexion@oldbytes.space]

[flexion@oldbytes.space]

Preview version now available in my sgug-rse tdnf repo: flx-nuklodon

[purplejillybeans@kind.social]

@flexion So I just stumbled across this in my feed and have absolutely no context to work from. Any chance this builds/runs on other *NIXes?

[flexion@oldbytes.space]

@PurpleJillybeans yes, assuming your UNIX of choice has a "modern enough" openssl libs to talk TLS/SSL and also json-c lib.

[analog_feelings@tech.lgbt]

@flexion we got dnf in IRIX before dnf5 in rhel

[wec@fv390.hs.bam.moe]

where's the source? I'd like to port it to post from my VAXen/RS6ks/Suns/SGIs/Alphas/HP9ks if possible!!!

[flexion@oldbytes.space]

@wec have not published the source yet, it's still in a very early stage. Client needs json-c, libcurl with "modern enough" openssl to talk TLS/SSL.

[wec@fv390.hs.bam.moe]

well, libcurl and openssl work great on old UNIX (the fediverse instance I am speaking to you from is as old as an IP32), and json-c is pretty good in terms of portability. I look forward to messing with it!!
