Oatmeal - December Adventure

The Advent of Code is cool, but a lot, and not everyone’s jam. The December Adventure is low key. The goal is to write a little bit of code every

for today's #decemberadventure i explored how to emulate raspberry pi on linux!

i thought it would be a quick one but it was surprisingly involved, thank fuck for fellow nerds writing great guides 🙏

in today's #decemberadventure i cross-compiled golang binaries with c dependencies (i.e. using cgo) and ran on the emulated raspberry pi!

in so doing, i discovered that what i *thought* was a 32-bit raspi install (what i wanted) was actually 64-bit :mac:

fuck all the virtual machines: i dusted off the raspberry pi 1B+ from the closet, installed
the easy to use raspberry pi imager (it has defaults for tossing on a retro game emulator on a pi?!!) and shot legacy rpi os lite onto the sd card 😀

after figuring out its ip and tunneling into it, and performing a dance of little dependencies (installing git and go, the latter from a tarball) i managed to reproduce the issue that started me on this quest in the first place!

after this brief (3 day) virtualized & realized hardware interlude we are now at the point where normal activities can be resumed and coding can begin :blobpats:

it was the same last year for december adventure, I remember most people struggled toward yakshaving their environment so they only really started down creative coding by the end of the first week haha. Glad you got it all sorted 😀

this aspect reminds me of lan parties: first three hours was always downloading games, mods & patches 😂

done with cross-compilation bullshit, you're going to work from the pi straight up?

@neauoire when i had the pi up, i was doing a first build (takes some time). during that downtime i figured out the blocker for making the cross-compilation work :cooldog:

but yes, if i run into more shit i'm pitching over the build to the pi and brewing some tea XD
