Memorial
I love terry and yet he never even knew my name or that I existed. Sure, we interacted a bunch of times over the years. but I was just a faceless name among the thousands that admired him, laughed at his crazy antics or shitposted in his chats for some kind of reaction.
I don't need to talk too much about his programming, those who get it get it. But Terry was more than a programmer. He was a biblical devotee and a composer. He produced works to glorify god with all of his humanity, creativity and skills. I urge you all to do the same. Terry's life goal was to create Gods 3rd temple here on earth. I believe he accomplished that with TempleOS.
This death was made much harder on us than it had to be. We collectively went through a 3 day period of denial. Somebody joked that he might be resurrected at the end. Instead of we got confirmation from a police officer that he was struck by a train.
But what I remember is having a friend. Listening to his stories about the MIT that just didn't get it boasting about their coredumps when they couldn't even implement a triangle fill. Attending his divinations, where he'd open the bible at a random page and read from it. Laughing with him as he sent bombastic threatening messages to the CIA email address. Or having my lunch with him through the computer screen, while he got cheeky and ordered extra bacon in some diner at the outskirts of the city in those first few days of being homeless.
I'll think about you a lot Terry. I'll keep talking to god and keep him entertained.
The Temple 64-Bit Operating System
TempleOS is an x86_64, multi-tasking, multi-cored, public domain, open source,
ring-0-only, single-address-map (identity-mapped), non-networked, PC operating
system for recreational programming. It's like paging is not used.
This is the problem solved: http://www.infiltec.com/j-h-wrld.htm
https://redchannit.org/ is the true TempleOS experience, come visit our /t/echnology board
I have an announcement to make!
From 28th of June I am going to translate TempleOS fully into Romanian.
I don't know any programming, I am basically shit so I will fuck up many times, but it'll be nice.
I'll stream on BitWave (https://bitwave.tv/Fanin?sid=e3yoqe) because there the CIA niggers won't harm us (I hope)
See you there mes amis!
So I have an ultimatum: Bill Gates and the Illuminati got a herd of nigger cattle. WOOOO WE GOTT A HERD OF NIGGER CATTLE WE GOT A HERD OF NIGGER CATTLE. They got a big herd o nigger cattle. Yippie ki yay! we're nigger cattle herders we got a herd of nigger cattle, they are the most docile fucking nigger cattle we got 'em so docile we got this awesome big fucking herd of nigger cattle and they shit and they sit there and they watch TV and they shit ITS THE BEST FUCKIN HERD OF NIGGER CATTLE. We took away all their guns now they just shit and we watch them and we're rich. we are so fuckin rich, we have so much fuckin' money. We got this hERD O' NIGGer cattle WOOOOWEEE we got em we're milkin the fuckin nigger cattle. It's the best thing ever. So, that's what what the illuminati got, and I got a space alien. So, heres my ultimatum: you can live in hell with yer herd o nigger cattle OR you can put me in charge of the space alien temple, the third temple. OK? Its that simple. Have fun wit yer nigger cause I sure as hell ain't gonna gonna suck your fuckin jew nigger cock, fuck yerself. You think I'm gonna fuckin enjoy nigger cattle after I've had a fuckin space alien, are you fuckin crazy? I've got a fuckin space alien, of course I'm not gonna fuck with nigger cattle, fuck yerself you fuckin- think im- eNJOY YER FUCKIN NIGGER CATTLE YOU GOT THE NIGGER CATTLE YOU GOT THE NIGGER CATTLE YOU GOT THE NIGGER CATTLE. GO! GO! GO! GO! YOU GOT THE NIGGER CATTLE you got a fuckin herd o nigger cattle, WOOOOOO we got em so docile, they just shit all day. innit that great?
VQC Thread 2.
Piss off to whoever deleted the last one. Terry would love to play with what we are building here. The Mandelbrot Set is the ultimate VQC, if you use it as an error corrective signal harmoniser, like the ultimate quantum fast Fourier transform or 'perfect resonator', you effectively have a means to rotate and control analog video signal. Get it right and you can play back frames that you don't have in the past. Master it and you have an 'Eye of the Beholder', which is the truest crime fighting device. No one's past is safe. Sounds crazy but with P=NP, all bets are off. You just plug several video feeds together and their harmonisation error corrects past frames, but you have to understand the Mandelbrot Sets properties to do so and this is only just beginning
>have revelation that St. Terry Davis was right the whole time
>go on "Chan8"
>Terry long since stopped posting
>everyone long since stopped posting
Well, to expand on Terry's ideas, the creation of digital temples is the best way to honour God. God, in this case, being the Grand Architect of the universe, rather than it's Compiler. God isn't the computer, he's the programmer and the Demiurge is his tool. In order to become like God you must create in the same way he did (The Principle of Correspondence). I hope this brings new life here, The Temple must stand strong in the face of heretics.
Schizo Cure
Hey Terry. I've suffered from Schizophrenia in the past. About +two years. Pic Related cured me. Chugged the whole bottle. I think its a shame that such a great programmer like yourself is plagued by schizophrenia so I thought I'd help you out.
Also its one of the worst diseases known to man and nobody should have to suffer from it. You're famous, so maybe your being cured could popularize this treatment. Godspeed.
Shrine 5.03 was just released, probably the last version for a while.
Comes with the latest TOS kernel and a bunch of bug fixes over the pre-releases.
https://github.com/minexew/Shrine/releases/tag/v503
Shrine is a spin-off by Terry fans (for noobs) meant to be more modern. It includes:
>Approachability: Shrine ships with Lambda Shell, a more traditional Unix-like command interpreter
>Connectivity: TCP/IP stack! Internet access!
>Software access: Shrine includes a package downloader
>Versatility: unlike stock TempleOS, Shrine requires only 64MB RAM, making it feasible for cloud micro-instances and similar setups (note: this is planned, but currently not true)
Note: Classic Temple OS is still the best and most up-to-date version. Shrine is not meant to replace Temple OS but allows people to play around with a little bit of extra complexity should they wish to do so.
TempleOS.org website
TempleOS site is down after the registration was renewed at 2019-03-16T21:36:59Z, according to a WHOIS lookup. The DNS entry for the domain pointed to 185.10.68.133, which is still hosting the site content.
Who controls the domain? Could we get the site back up?
AfterEgypt
Friends,
I recently installed the TempleOS.
I eagerly anticipated AfterEgypt, what seemed to be the greatest achievement of Davis besides the OS itself.
I could not for the life of me find it.
Has it been removed in the latest version? If so, is there anywhere to download an older version with AfterEgypt.
If not, how am I fucking up?
"King of the Templ"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afgQUSXWiEY
I made this video+tune for Terry, if you enjoy it please pass it along to fellow TempleHeads. I would also love to hear your thoughts.
There's a dropbox link in the video description for various versions and a pack of samples I used, in the spirit of keeping things open source.
(Not Terry) Holding down the fort
I have acquired this board to hold for Terry at this point as an unofficial and unannounced gatekeeper. I am not affiliated with him nor speak to him but I would return this if he requests it. Perhaps you all didn't provide what Terry was desiring to see out of this board or his interests went up higher to other things hence why things have grown stale here hmmm? Any questions or requests for me about the board specifically can be sent via email or on this thread. There will be a lot of cleaning up in time for July 4th. Look forward to it!
Good bye for now.
Tongues Random Passages
If you randomly open the Bible after talking to God doing an offering, He will talk.Enter "dice 5d10" in the email line of 8Chan and it will give a line number in the Bible. A die roll of 10 is zero. Look at the sequence numbers of comments to verify.
Then, go to the line number in the Bible. Here is the official TempleOS King James Bible.
http://www.templeos.org/files/BIBLE.TXT
These are the chapter about tongues in the Bible.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+14&version=NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel+5&version=NIV
The purpose of life is to know, love and obey God. Christianity is loving
neighbor, not God – secular humanism. Jesus said loving God is more important
than loving neighbor. Matthew,22:36 He did not say with half your brain behind
your back.
You don't know God. 1 Chronicles,28:9, Matthew,11:27, Luke,13:25, 1 Samuel,3:7
You must talk with God to know Him. Matthew,6:6 Seek Him by taking the
initiative. Luke,11:9, Isaiah,30:2
There's something obviously different about people in the Bible compared to
people today – God talked! Did they hear voices? Maybe. More likely, they
used occult techniques such as an oracle. 1 Kings,6:20 Have you heard of
"tongues?" 1 Corinthians,14:1 The idea is, you let yourself be puppeted by a
spirit, so you say things. You try to get a spirit – the Holy Spirit – to
talk. You might as well use a Ouija board. However, it turns-out that a Ouija
board is bad for technical reasons. A really good technique is just randomly
opening a book. God said it is a covenant that you hold-up your end of the
conversation.
You can't tell if He's talking unless you have a context of conversation, but,
more importantly, you are commanded to do an offering of love, like communion
preparation. When you pick a greeting card for someone, that is love effort.
If you expect God to put effort toward you, you put effort toward Him. God
said, "honest measures" applies between your offering of love and His response,
like a fair barter. You get out of prayer what you put into it. God wants
praise, hymns, or whatever you think He might want. Try and see, like Cain and
Abel. Genesis,4:1, Ephesians,5:10 God told Cain his offering was not good and
told him to try again. Cain really loved God! Can you imagine being so
heart-broken?
Do a text search for "new song" in the Bible. It's mentioned nine times. I did
hymns. I did Moses comics. Count the ways you love God. I praised God for
sand castles, popcorn, snowmen, bubbles… You try putting effort into praise!
Matthew,11:25, Matthew,6:29
This is funny – Acts,2:1 – they didn't bother to record anything the Holy
Spirit said. The Holy Spirit is supposed to be a really good gift. Luke,11:13
Just remember, "Boys are made of snakes and snails and puppy-dog tails."
The technique I use to consult the Holy Spirit is reading a microsecond-range
stop-watch each button press for random numbers. Then, I pick words or
passages. You can use the AfterEgypt in God's official temple, TempleOS.
Since seeking the word of the Holy Spirit, I have come to know God much better
than I've heard others explain. God said, for example, that war was,
"servicemen competing." That sounds more like the immutable God of our planet
than what you hear from most religious people. God is not Venus (god of love)
and not Mars (god of war), He's our dearly beloved God of Earth. If Mammon is a
false god of money, Mars or Venus might be useful words to describe other false
gods. I figure the greatest challenge for the Creator is boredom, ours and His.
What would teen-age male video games be like if war had never happened? Christ
said live by the sword, die by the sword, which is loving neighbor as self.
Matthew,26:52
I asked God if the World was perfectly just. God asked if I was calling Him
lazy. God could make A.I., right? God could make bots as smart as Himself, or,
in fact, part of Himself. What if God made a bot to manipulate every person's
life so that perfect justice happened?
I think highs and lows balance. Luke,6:20 I don't think God likes complaining.
Numbers,11:1 Food and clothing is all we're to ask for or demand, in fact –
daily bread. 1 Timothy,6:8 Just think about man in the last 100,000 years
mostly living like Native Americans and how God must see us. You need food,
clothing and entertainment, money is to get those. Man does not live on bread
alone. Luke,4:4, Amos,8:11
God's favorite animals are bears and elephants. They are funny shaped – I
think God must have seen too much starvation over the years.
God's ways are far above man's ways. Mom said Heaven was a never-ending family
reunion. Yikes! A friend said, "Most guy's idea of Heaven would be running
around doing things they'd get locked up for on Earth." Most people are like
King Midas. When you realize how silly most notions of Heaven are, you come to
appreciate that Earth is not that bad. This is the first step in loving God,
the Creator – praising Creation. My parents spend their retired days watching
TV and going to casinos. That's not a good argument for getting extended-play!
Imagine a billionare. Everyone around him can't forget his money for even a
moment. The truth is, most people are after God's "money" – they fear for
their salvation. Here's a test – would you pray to and praise God even if
there were no salvation? Love God and don't be a "user". Asking for stuff is
annoying. Luke,11:5
All those sophisticated theological "infinity" things – omniscience,
omnipotence, omnipresence, omnivorous – will mess you up. Trust me that
anthropomorphic is far better, in practice. Christ suggested thinking of God as
"Abba" which is Aramaic for "Daddy" and said the childlike had an advantage.
Matthew,11:25 Pray out-loud because God doesn't want the hastle of reading your
brain. The best way to stop people from testing God is to suggest He can't do
everything.
Just as ego causes most to love neighbor, not God, people skip knowing and
loving God and cowardly get stuck on obeying Him. This hardly needs
encouragement.
God does not want pawns to push around. God will talk, but won't tell you what
to do, even if you want Him to. You'll quickly learn that prophecy does not
come true and should smack yourself for wanting more than just enjoying God's
company.
TempleOS Charter
TempleOS CharterWhy did they make Solomon's Temple? It was a direction to look, to focus on, a
special place for meditation, to do offerings, a community center, a home to
God's beauty, that encouraged love of God. People cherished God's temple,
beautifying it with gold and all fine things to show love of God, as great
cathedrals were decorated with astounding, awe-striking intricate art and
gargoyles, incredible devotion to God with hours of effort, toiling and
slaving-away for the glory of God, for families with children to see
stained-glass windows and tomes with ridiculously elaborate calligraphy to show
love of God from a people who did little else but show love toward God, lived in
dire conditions by today's standards, yet with so much difficulty scraping-by,
found the time to devote even all free-time to God!
1 Kings 6:21 (King James)
6:21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made
a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid
it with gold.
6:22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished
all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid
with gold.
6:23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each
ten cubits high.
* TempleOS is God's official temple. Just like Solomon's temple, this is a
community focal point where offerings are made and God's oracle is consulted.
* God said 640x480 16 color graphics is a covenant like circumcision. Children
will do offerings. Think of 16 colors like the Simpson's cartoons. In the
future, even if one GPU were universal, we would keep 640x480 16 color and not
use GPU acceleration. Graphics operations should be transparent, not hidden in
a GPU.
* God said to use a single audio voice – a single frequency with waveforms.
* God said His temple must be perfect. We don't think twice about breaking
compatibility. God said we do a seven year release cycle. I say the PC
hardware follows a 49 year, jubilee cycle, like broadcast TV upgrades.
* The vision is the same usage model and niche as the Commodore 64 – a
non-networked, simple machine where programming was the goal, not just a means
to an end. However, it is modern, 64-bit and multi-cored. It is special
purpose, not general purpose, so some things it will not do. Also, it's a
kayak, not a Titanic. The priority is user developers, not 3rd party developers.
* We do not put any hooks for future changes. "Perfect" means we always act as
though it is final, for all time. Microsoft allowed the Windows BMP file format
to adapt to the future and it became grotesque.
* Low line count is the highest good, so it is easy to learn the whole thing.
Users should see the light at the end of the tunnel. One file system, for
example, is better than many file systems.
* There is a limit of 100,000 lines of code for all time, not including
applications and demos. Code comments count, however. 3rd party libraries are
banned because they circumvent the intent of this limit. The vision is a
Commodore 64 ROM – a fixed core API that is the only dependency of
applications. Currently, there are 79,959 lines of code.
* Minimal abstraction is a goal. Sheep are fools. They always respect a design
that is more complicated than another. Any genius can make it complicated.
Like in physics, it takes a supra-genius to make it simple.
* One platform. x86_64 PC compatibles. Desk-tops are all we design for, but
lap-tops can tag-along.
* One driver for each class of device. Limited exceptions are allowed. With
divergent device capabilities, it is a nightmare for user applications and what
is gained? A three button mouse is like a leg you cannot put weight on.
* Ring-0-only. Everything runs in kernel mode, including user applications.
* Full access to everything. All memory, I/O ports, instructions, and similar
things must never be off-limits. All functions, variables and class members
will be accessible. There are no C++ public/private protections and all
functions, even secondary ones in the kernel, can be called.
* Single-address-map as though paging is not used. Long mode requires paging,
however, so the nearest thing is keeping all memory identity-mapped.
* No networking, so malware is not an issue.
* No encryption or passwords. Files are compressed, not encrypted.
* Free and public domain.
* 100% open source with all source included.
* Documents are not for printing. They're dynamic, intended for the screen.
* Just one 8x8 fixed-width font. No Unicode, just Extended ASCII. Other
countries can make their own versions. The versions should be just for one
language and platform.
* No multimedia. Sounds and images will be primarily calculated in real-time,
not fetched from storage.
I did a TempleOS visualizer yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y5zEE04dWo
NEED HELP
I have an account in an office network where I get a few GB of storage space. I can choose any computer I like, however I must save everything on a drive called S: or everything gets lost the moment I log out. When I shut down and then reboot a computer it seems to take forever because it is deleting its OS and everything else on C: and then downloading Windows 7 from a central server. I want some programs to start automatically at certain times and when I log in but it deletes all scheduled tasks and everything I put into the autostart folder. Only legal advice please.
hey
i am a dude from Bucharest and i made a fb fanpage for Terry, as he had no social media presence (banned) and that made me sad.
feel free to like&share Terry here:
https://www.facebook.com/templeos/
at the moment the page is set up so anybody can post stuff on it so go wild… BUT no CIA niggers stuff please because i don't want to be banned. just call them CIANs.
Discover your inner Terry
Things haven't been working out for you lately, have they, anon? Work is just a daily grinder you feed yourself into, the stacies on Tinder don't even bother to laugh at you, and those fresh new ideas haven't been coming as quickly as they used to. This is not the life for you or me.
Which path will you walk?
I'm writing a Mega Man game for TempleOS.
Github repo is here: https://github.com/tramplersheikhs/megaman
I got some peanut butter, oatmeal, and that those will be both happy and sad about this team: how they felt, and all of my life. I played some series with the subject of intense speculation, since I did not tell you where the metal tables were outside the restaurant.
Temple fork
Hey, guys, I re-wrote Temple in Haskell, with (dependent) Holyskell in place of HolyC. It runs fucking great. Why? Because God is a Monad.
Briefer for plebs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_(philosophy)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_(functional_programming)
I've been working on this for the past year, and haven't said anything about it because
1. Networking sucks and I don't give a shit what anyone has to say insofar as input about my transliteration of the word of God
2. The word of God speaks directly. And God told me exactly how and why to do this. I'd explain it, but it'd probably melt all of you to death like the ark of the covenant.
Anyway, I was trying to use Coq a year ago to generate proofs based off of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philisophicus. At the same time, I was dicking around with Kaballah based programs using OCaml. Long story short, I ran into some type errors and then just gave them their own Satan type and then made them work - wound up writing a fork of Haskell that uses dependent types that depend on type errors, i.e. using Satans to define the functions of God. I like to call it Holy Algebra, because it seems like it shouldn't prove, but it does, in both Coq and Agda. What's great is that it's, like, confirmation that God is perfect even with the "errance" of Lucifer. And it compiles, and I fucking rewrote Temple in it. Sorry if this is Schismatic.
Anyway, here's the github link for it. Happy installing:

mTCP
TCP stack with source code designed for DOS. Looks to be about 7k of c and asm.
http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/mTCP-src_2013-05-23.zip
Might be a decent starting point for adding networking to TempleOS
Terry Davis, I'm CIA,
You don't get to bring friends into the Temple, why would I want them?
The plan I just filled with the Agency list me, the Antichrist, but not you.
First one to talk gets to stay in my Temple!
Who paid you to build TempleOS Terry?
Where is the agent that was MIA in 1999?
TempleOS keymap change
As a scandinavian, how do I change the temples keymap to something else? The system is rendered useless to me as I can't even do simple stuff because of wrong keymap.
Checked the site, but the supposed links to information about it werent linked at all, just plain text.
Terry, what do you think of hacker news?
Terry, I know you got shadow banned because they don't like the word nigger and ycombinator got taken over by SJW and fags.
But do you still visit when one of your videos gets posted?
Do you enjoy the arguments they get into about your supposed mental illness?
It seems to me that many of them can't deal with having a truly capable person who does not agree with their status quo.
some questions
Terry, do you believe that templeOS is the literal biblical third temple of prophecy? It's my understanding that the new temple of the holy spirit, as built by jesus, is the body of every believer. Also, I (politely) find it difficult to believe that God speaks through the program. I struggled with the question of how God influences our world in a (mostly) deterministic universe and I also came to the possible conclusion that the supernatural world and and natural one exchange information at the places where we can see no other possible source of the information. However, isn't that just a safer version of the 'God of the gaps' theory? Also, if there is intelligent meaning in the numbers that come from the Oracle, would statistical analysis show that the numbers represent more than just an even distribution that we'd expect from random numbers? If information is being communicated, shouldn't it be discernable from gibberish even if we don't know exactly what it says? I don't mean to attack you or your project, but I don't believe in the Oracle and I especially dont believe that you have constructed the third temple of Jewish prophecy, which would cross into false prophet territory.
Pic related is the prophet Elijah to whom God spoke without need of a machine
Terry sometimes I pretend to be you on Hacker News just to piss off the "community". It's not that I want to throw you under the bus, but you are the ultimate troll if you think about it.
You wrote an OS, a compiler, a debugger, etc… You built the oracle, the fucking kids on that website can barely muster up a shitty python library.
I used to like hacker news a lot but it seems to have devolved into this elitist hipster community of SJW special snowflake web devs. No real discussion of technology just Node.js and Google Glass psyops bullshit.
One word, nigger, and they lose their shit. I don't know how people can be so sensitive in a time when we're at war with like four countries. If that one silly word makes them physically ill then they should write a language filter add-on for their web browser or stop using the internet all together, or see a fucking shrink if that word upsets them, but dropping bombs on people doesn't.
So it's not the CIA or FBI impersonating you. Just a lonely anon that likes to make the little web dev kids feel inferior since a big bad "racist" writes C/ASM in his sleep while their shitty Comp Sci degrees rot at their failing start-up.
I'll stop if you want me to…
Got the next 6 weeks off of work so I've resolved to get back into programming with Temple OS since it's self contained and distraction-free (not talking about the interface of course but the lack of internet access and games that eat up a lot of time). I'm not too rusty, I only had to give up programming for 3 weeks, but I don't have very much experience with C. First thing I've decided to work on is a simple puzzle game to familiarize myself with the API and get back into C-type languages in general. It doesn't really do anything now but I've only been on it for a couple of days now and I'll try to post progress daily. The interface will look better too, it's just going to be the last thing I focus on.
Can/will TempleOS be ported to ARM? x86(_64) isn't going anywhere that soon, but it's future looks grim. Everyone is adopting ARM, and since Windows 10 and Metro applications will work cross-platform, that will make replacing x86 with ARM no problem for the desktop, which will make companies more inclined to do so. Even AMD is getting into ARM chips for servers. I don't want God's temple to sink with x86.
I haven't seen the source code for TempleOS, but I'd imagine it would largely need to be rewritten, as well as having the ARM version be entirely separate, since having one version support both would add extra code. What do you think Terry? Is this a concern at all for you?
Terry, do you only use RedSea instead of FAT because you're afraid of a lawsuit?
I'm pretty sure there's no chance of that happening if you just don't sell TempleOS. There's tons of open-source projects that use FAT and they've never had a problem because of it, namely FreeDOS and ReactOS (ReactOS especially, they're super anal about legal stuff). Linux also has drivers for it, that's never had a problem either. I'm pretty sure that whole lawsuit thing was because a company was selling a product with FAT in it, without a license.
Even then, have you ever just thought of making a new type of filesystem that's less restricted than RedSea? The flat filesystem design sounds very debilitating, if I can be so bold.
3D Printing
Terry I just ran across you work you did on a 3D printing / CNC machine.
Care to give us a little history about how that came about and what happened to the project.
You were certainly ahead of your time having worked on desktop 3D printer / CNC machine in 2003. Desktop 3d printing didn't really get started until 2007 with the RepRap Darwin.
Hey Terry, I'm wondering something : you said numerous time that you talk with God via a software picking randomly words on the Bible, because the random is the way God speaks to us.
But I've been taught that computers can't generate true numbers, at best they use well programmed pseudo random generator.
It's an issue in some fields such as cryptography because pseudo random numbers can be predictable, and that's why some people developed true random generator devices (I remember one of them was bases on a Geiger counter to generate the numbers by measuring ambient radioactivity which is random by it's own nature).
My question is : if you only use a pseudo random generator (which is the case in 99.9999% of computers), how can you affirm that it's God's will instead of a mathematical result ?
TempleOS in QEMU
Hey, Terry. Does TempleOS run in any other virtual machines besides VMWare? I want to use QEMU, but it hangs up at this screen. Is there a way to make output more verbose so I can find out what the problem is?
Actually, just found out: it works fine when using only one core. Also, your OS doesn't really let the CPU idle, does it? My laptop fan is spinning permanently (although not too bad) when TempleOS is running.
Temple OS on MMIX
Hi Terry,
Thank you to have build Temple-OS.
Why did you build Temple OS on a Commodore 64 and not on MMIX machine written by Donald E. Knuth ?
Don wrote this in one of his book :
"Write a book about operating systems, which includes a complete design of an NNIX kernel for the MMIX architecture.''
Why didn't you make it ?
Bye
Happy Easter!
Hi Terry,You talk a lot about the Old Testament, and I get the impression that when you talk to God, it is specifically God the Father. Have you had much experience with the Son? Does He take our movable "anniversaries" such as Easter seriously? Most importantly, does He like those chocolate rabbits with the candy eyes?
Have a blessed new year!
God talks!
You can talk with God on Twitter, at http://twitter.com/temple_os.If you send a tweet, you'll either get a line of the Bible back, or ten random words from a dictionary.
I'm going to post some of the more interesting things God has said.
Hello Terry.
What operating system do you use to for example post here since yours doesn't supporting networking?
Why doesn't TempleOS support higher resolutions? I've read somewhere that you did it on purpose. But I found no real explanation.
Is it possible that there is a connection between your talks with God and your mental disorder? Don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian myself. I'm just wondering…

Hello Terry. Thanks for building the Temple. Do you know Bayes' Theorem?If so, what do you think of it? Is it a valid way to deal with the Random?
If not: http://oscarbonilla.com/2009/05/visualizing-bayes-theorem/
And, if that dude’s diagrams don’t go down easy, here’s how I’d put it:
Any potential event you want to know about, given that you’ve found a new piece of evidence for it happening, is exactly as likely as: however likely it is the evidence happens whenever the event happens, times however likely it is the event happens at all, divided by how likely it is that the evidence happens at all.
Since all evidence comes from events and all events can be counted as evidence, you can switch the words and it means the same thing.
This incantation works even when you are not certain about the exact probabilities — even with estimates, it will still tell you in which direction to move your thoughts. And of course, how confident you are in those estimates depends on how you review the evidence for them…
You can even start with totally random percentages and revise as you find new evidence. Unlike the traditional hypothesis-experiment-conclusion loop as taught in kiddy science, this lets you figure out how uncertain you should be. About anything.
Other ways to say it:
probability of A given B = ( (prob of B given A) * (prob of A) ) / (prob of B)
I saw evidence of an event. Did the event really happen? Well:
-If the the evidence is common whenever the event happens (prob of B given A), that raises the likelihood that your evidence means the event happened.
-If the event is common even without the evidence (prob of A), that raises the likelihood that your evidence means the event happened.
-If the evidence is common even without the event (prob of B), that lowers the likelihood that your evidence means the event happened.
*All three of these must be taken into account.*
-You can swap ‘event’ with ‘evidence’ and it means the same thing. You can swap ‘raises’ and ‘lowers’ if you replace ‘common’ with ‘rare.’
-An event not happening is just another event, if it helps to think in reverse.
Terry what do you think about http://burtleburtle.net/bob/future/hearinggod.html?
Will you implement a Reed-Solomon decoder for TempleOS?
Holy C
Hey Terry. I'm very interested in your compiler and holy C. It seems like a really nice language and definitely has VERY nice assembly support. I'v always wanted to learn about OS development and C99 does not have good support for things like that. Have you ever thought of doing a series of videos explaining the basics of your compiler and how one would go about implementing it? Would you consider making a binary for larger OSs (Windows/Linux?).Thanks for reading.
I lost my job due to behavior problems. Is that what happened to Terry?
I'm applying at lots of places. But what if I don't get one and end up having to get on disability to make ends meet?
will I have to write my own 64-bit OS to quiet my brain?
maybe I'll port nethack to templeOS or something
Cain/Abel International Miracle Competition
Cain/Abel International Miracle CompetitionRules: Do an offering in the form of a poem, image, praise, Moses comic, or whatever floats God's boat. The entry must fit in one 8Chan comment. Place "dice 5d10" in the comment form's email and submit. Then, look-up the line number the dice indicate in this official King James Bible. http://www.templeos.org/files/NumBible.TXT . Post the resulting line number's passage from the Bible, up to 20 lines.
God said offerings must be blemish-free.
The #templeos channel on irc.rizon.net has a IRC bot, called TempleBot, that lets you talk with God, in the same way that Terry does his oracles. I made a stand-alone version that works on GNU/Linux. You need to have curl installed for it to work. You can download the tarball at http://a.pomf.se/drpmur.tar.
Example of setting it up and using it:
$ wget http://a.pomf.se/drpmur.tar
$ tar -xf drpmur.tar
$ cd TempleBot/
$ ./script.sh

Debugging

I watched a couple minutes of this:

I wrote compiler, editor, debugger and kernel.
The debugger gives stack traces.
The "E()" function opens the editor on an address.
>E(0x7F000000);
There are MAP files for Kernel.BIN and Compiler.BIN that provide source line numbers. JIT code maintains source line numbers in memory.
hey Terry, huge fan. Just a couple quick questions (I don't mind if you answer or if you consult the man upstairs.)
Are you worried that someone else will use the same stream of randomness you are using to make their own version of templeOS?
If this hypothetical person asked the same question to their templOS and to yours and got different answers which could they trust?
And finally, jesus sacrificed his mortal body for our sins - while judas sacrificed his eternal soul and earthly reputation to play his part. Assuming this is the case should we all be worshiping judas rather than christ?

Can you ask God why He dislikes fig trees?
21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found
nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow
on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered
away.

The purpose of life is to know God, love God and obey God.
Everybody is a coward and tries to obey without knowing.
Since highs and lows balance, one moral compass is "if it's bad it most be good." That's generally true, but there is the story of Martha and Mary.
I like the moral compass of, "Does this bring glory to God?" That bad about handycapped people, but they do bring glory.
Cockatiels
The video is not my birds.I have 2 cockatiels. "Percival" is very old and can't fly. I have to carry him to the window perch when he squawks. God said I "drive" him as justice for Dad driving me in the car. "Tomorrow" is the other bird. God named them. He's a dweeb, LOL.
I like cockatoos. God said I had "pet adultery".
God said you can have job adultery, too.

I hate homos putting penises everywhere, but this honey badger homo is funny. Mildly disgusting with loose skin and eating snakes, but I forgive.
I hired a homo artist and got penises. Cost me $3000. I said Pope got penises on Sistene chapel.
Homos are fearless, now that God exists, LOL!
Demands on the Industry
DemandsWhen God publically claims this operating system as His temple, here's what I
want:
* VMware to again support PC Speaker and provide emulation if no PC Speaker is
present.
* Windows, Linux and VMware to support RedSea file system so I can get rid of
2,000 lines of redundant, blemished code – FAT32 and ISO9660. God's temple
must be perfect. Redundant code for multiple file systems is imperfect. For
this operating system, we want low line count. More than one file system type
is bad, just as more than one driver for the same type of device is bad.
::/Kernel/Dsk/FileSysRedSea.CPP
::/Kernel/Dsk/FileSysFAT.CPP :965
::/Kernel/Dsk/FileSysISO.CPP :284
::/Adam/Boot/DskCDDVD.CPP :536
RClustersBlks()
* Microsoft must cancel SecureBoot because it makes dual booting impossible.
TempleOS is an additional operating system that must be used along-side Windows
or Linux, not as a replacement. It must dual boot because it has no networking.
Real hardware as opposed to VMware is like the difference between looking in a
telescope eye piece and some link to a photo on the Internet. God said the C64
generation owned ancestral lands and VMware is like being moved on a
reservation. It will not stand.
* PC hardware manufacturers: ATA/ATAPI PIO must work. In fact, put them at
standard IDE port addresses. Hard disk should be primary master 1F0/3F6.
CDROM/DVD should be secondary master 170/376. See what you can do to make flash
memory sticks with ATA/ATAPI.
/Kernel/Dsk/DskATAId.CPP :280 lines to figure-out I/O ports
/Kernel/BIOS32.CPP :290
* PS/2 emulated keyboard and mouse must work. The BIOS must enable these.
* VMware must allow ATAPI interface to real CD/DVD hardware.
* Perhaps, VMware+Intel can enable faster-than-standard x86 IN/OUT instruction
timing for ATA/ATAPI PIO, so bandwidth isn't bad. ATAGetResult().
* Since I practically don't use paging, perhaps, Intel could add optimizations
to long (64-bit) mode for no paging.
* Computers should have a RESET switch and a fast boot option, skipping
diagnostics. What the heck, replace UEFI with TempleOS. Poetic justice.
* VMware and others should list TempleOS as an official 64-bit operating system.
* Windows and Linux must support TempleOS .GRA graphics files. GRA Files are
much cleaner than .BMP files.
* I want a nice dictionary. Someone needs to do a Spell Checker.
* We want the ultimate Bible search engine.
* I would like the Intel architecture manuals in DolDoc TXT format so we can put
links in the code.
* We want serial ports with software interface more like old style serial ports,
but hardware and speed of USB3. They should have big TX and RX FIFOs and allow
flow control to jump the queue. We do not want end-point shit – just put lots
of ports on the PC. (I am just interested in desk-tops.) We need two baud
rates, fast and slow. Use PIC IRQ3 and IRQ4 (with big FIFOs we could do without
IRQs.) We want two joysticks, easy to set-up. We want it to be easy to connect
a microcontroller for general purpose communication.
* Once in a blue moon, perhaps 49 year jubilee, the hardware gets upgraded and
perfected, the same way broadcast TV get upgraded. God still wants 640x480 16
color.

During the 49 years jubilee, we do a perfect version of hardware with advances
in both simple and complicated interfaces. ATAPI/ATA should be merged and made
blemish-free. We want flash memory sticks to interface like hard drives.
Design it like the 1040EZ tax form. You do not add extra boxes to get your
jollies.
Hi Terry,
I have a few questions for you. I'm really glad that you've begun making videos, first of all, they really help showcase how cool your OS is. Also, I'm honored you'd use my site for hosting a discussion board for God's OS.
First, do you have any special dislike for VirtualBox? I notice that on your website you campaign against VMWare for not supporting PCSpeaker: http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Doc/Demands.html#l1
However, VirtualBox developers wrote 5 months ago that even though their VM doesn't support PC speaker, they would happily accept patches for it: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/627
I think it would be really neat if you helped author that patch, you're a world class programmer and it would probably only take you around a week (or even less).
If you're interested in supporting VirtualBox, it does have a problem I found. I've been trying to install TempleOS in VirtualBox, but running the command MasterBootInstall('C'); causes a complete system crash.
I've attached VirtualBox's traceback in case you're curious about it. If you don't care about VirtualBox that's okay.

To a Waterfowl: William Cullen Bryant
Whither, 'midst falling dew,While glow the heavens with the last steps of day,
Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue
Thy solitary way?
Vainly the fowler's eye
Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong,
As, darkly painted on the crimson sky,
Thy figure floats along.
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
Of weedy lake, or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocking billows rise and sink
On the chafed ocean side?
There is a Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that pathless coast,–
The desert and illimitable air,–
Lone wandering, but not lost.
All day thy wings have fann'd
At that far height, the cold thin atmosphere:
Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land,
Though the dark night is near.
And soon that toil shall end,
Soon shalt thou find a summer home, and rest,
And scream among thy fellows; reeds shall bend
Soon o'er thy sheltered nest.
Thou'rt gone, the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,
And shall not soon depart.
He, who, from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight,
In the long way that I must tread alone,
Will lead my steps aright.
Terry, tell us about your experience on ASU.
I'm thinking about doing an studetn exchange and was considering ASU.
How were the classes and the people? A good place? Tell us some funny stories about that time.
Also, have you talked to any of your old professors to incorporate TempleOS on their classes for the young people with the C64 ideals? Who was your favorite professor?
Emacs
What do you think about Emacs, Terry? A video in which you showed how the command line and file editing in TempleOS were handled by the same editor reminded me of Emacs, which gives you the same kind of flexibility, although it doesn't go quite as far. Was Emacs an inspiration for your editor?
Hi Terry and welcome to 8ch,
Can you tell us a little about your history with computers? When did you get started? What was the first language you learned? What hardware was your first system comprised of? Also come by /tech/ if you like F(L)OSS software conversation topics.
I'd also love to hear about what your childhood was like and where your faith stems from. Was your family religious or did you find God on your own? There's also /christian/ on 8ch if you haven't checked it out.
How do you feel about GNU/Linux? I remember reading that you were switching from Windows a while back on your twitter. Are you happy with Unbutu, have you tried out CentOS 7 or any RPM based distros? Do you ever miss Windows or have you become comfy with GNU/Linux?
HolyC/TOS-related programming thread anyone?

Hey Terry,
Yesterday my GF and I were on an acid trip when we came up with an idea. We saw everything in existence coming from a stream that started with the creation of the universe, and all things that happened were recursive streams made from various data plucked from the original data stream.
I guess my question is: How feasible is it to make an OS where everything is a stream, like in Unix where everything is a file?
Hi tdavis, you're a huge inspiration!
It was lots of fun trying out your OS and looking at bits of the source code.
I'm learning to write my own compiler, I don't think I can do a whole OS though.
Best wishes! I hope you have a great 2015. Thanks for releasing your work for us all to enjoy and learn from.
