Fixed text mode and special keys handling with repeats in npe's[3] SDL2 reimplementation. `AltGr` is now treated as right Alt.
uxn[4] and FastTracker II[5] should have keyboard working correctly now.

Even further with rtmp[6]. I got a spec and rewrote parts that were initially based on `librtmp`. So now it's (as most of my code) Public Domain.
Got further with rtmp[7]:

RTMP.
A bit of gaming (Quake II).
Live-streamed fixing a crash in FT2 clone port for Plan 9[8] to Twitch[9]. This was done by capturing video with hj264[10] natively, sending the video to `ffmpeg` running in Linux on `vmx`, streaming to Twitch directly using RTMP.

Stream A[11].
Stream B (continued)[12].
Connection broke in the middle, so it's split into two.
More work on rtmp for Plan 9[13].
Fixed a bug in nvi[14] causing fetching of videos from some Peertube instances to fail. Improved usage error.
Fixed a bug in mp3dec[15]. Non-seekable streams are playing fine now.
More work on rtmp for Plan 9[16].
The logic some people produce on Twatter...

Thought it should be clear by now, but here we go again:
THERE ARE NO NAZIS IN 9FRONT. Stop spreading this bullshit.
Saying that as one of the 9front devs, who happens to be an out anti-fascist anarchist queer trans woman (ain't I a cliché?).
I swear to god, we had this as an inside joke, but it really does seem like people see pictures in B/W (or the word "front" anywhere in the text) and instantly assume it has something to do with nazism.
The "two communities", or whatever, is referred to `#cat-v` and the rest (like `9grid`) being a bit separate. That's not about 9front as a project or its devs, although there are the same devs in both. It's about communities, among which I still haven't noticed a single nazi.
Time to try RTMP with hj264[17] and see if it can be made to work with Peertube and Twitch.
More work on hj264[18]. It now outputs `IVF` format by default, which means any ffmpeg-based player will be able to play it as is.
Nothing.
I got the only9fans.com[19] domain and directed it to shithub.us[20] for now.
It's "QUICK PORTING WITH SIGRID" section again! Happy to see y'all.
audio/aacenc[21]. It outputs raw ADTS stream, which means it can be played by audio/aacdec[22] directly, but is not very useful on its own. I'm going to use this encoder along with hj264[23] to capture video AND audio so it can be recorded (or livestreamed, eventually).
Both video and audio should probably be wrapped into separate PES[24] and then remuxed into a single contrainer/stream with another tool to be written, don't think I am going to put that logic into mcfs[25].
Now, to record the audio on Plan 9, one needs to have a filesystem wrapping `/dev/audio` and providing another file to act as a loopback device, so the audio played on the system can also be recorded. Perhaps even `pipefile` alone would be enough, I will have to find out.
hj264[26]: with some additional work managed to pull out capturing video at 70fps, 1024x768, Quake 1 gameplay. No assembly has been written, still.
Night biking.
Managed to pull 30fps of 1920x1080 with hj264[27] I'm working on.
Grabbing `/dev/screen` (or a rio window) continuosly in a separate proc helped. This operation is actually introducing quite a delay on its own. I will need to see if maybe `memimage` stuff can be replaced with something more lightweight if it's slow. Profiling helps too.
Night biking.
Successfully captured frames from a rio window and encoded to H.264, all on Plan 9.
Twitched some ORCA livecoding done on 9front.
Meh.
I set up twitch account[28] where I'm going to be streaming oldschool shooters (Q1, Q2, UT99) and working in 9front as well once I set up `drawterm`.
Heh. Heh. Javascript[29] for Plan 9.
nvi[30]: fixed a crash if either audio or video stream is not available. `nvi` will leave the file empty in this case.
Video of yesterday's screen capturing experiment uploaded[31].

nvi[32]: made full URLs work when fetching videos from Youtube, both `youtu.be` (short) and `youtube.com` style.
Tested screen capturing by `segattach`ing to framebuffer directly. Of course it's not tear-free, but is fast enough to make use of for video capturing, without having to rewrite the whole `devdraw` for userspace. Still, userspace `devdraw` would be REALLY nice to have.
No recollection.
Came back from the hike. I went back on-trail, it was much easier, and I managed to take one good picture[33] on my way.

It would be nice to have some kind of ESP32-based battery-powered terminal with e-ink screen that doesn't do anything besides running an embedded variant of `drawterm` that connects to remote machines. I could use it for hacking AND my full time job while being outside. Perhaps I should build one.
Today I'm going to be hiking alone. I took two film cameras and paper with pencils for some creative fun. Going to stay overnight in a hammock. E-reader and a small music speaker is with me as well.
There it is, my camping spot[34]. As per usual, most of the pics are on my Insta.

One of my gel 12V batteries seems to be dead (~12mV). The other one is 4.5V :(
Going to see if I can still charge at least one of them.
Started (over) on sndio server for Plan 9[35]. This is mostly to play audio with stuff running in `vmx`, since Linux and OpenBSD both support `sndio` pretty well.
Updated Rio theming[36] patch and instructions (no `hg` in 9front anymore).
Same with riow[37].
Patch for "select command and its output with a double click on the rio prompt" patch is now at `/n/ftrv.se/patches/rio-semicolon-prompt.patch`.
All three patches can be (optionally) applied in any order.
Nothing.
