Hyperbola

Since some time now several system-projects have removed the support for systems only capable in supporting the 32bit-architecture.
First to state that this is a perspective out of ignorance as not all people around the planet have access towards computer-hardware with clear support for 64bit-architecture. So those decisions leave all the people outside USA and Europe generic outside!

Hyperbola is not following this path as we do not plan to remove the support for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre and also HyperbolaBSD. As our generic statement is the long-term stable oriented support for our system(s) we also do not want to exclude people from having a stable running operating-system.

Furthermore we also announce that we stop using patchsets from Debian beyond the version Debian 12 (Bookworm). The major reasoning for this decision is the UsrMerge, therefore the on-going transition from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard towards a complete non standardized default.
This decision makes Debian no longer attractive for Hyperbola as major target for patchset-inclusion. So we will only use the patches up until the mentioned released current stable version named Bookworm. We will freeze afterwards the patches for inclusion in our file-server and transfer them on that way.
Yes, this means also that Hyperbola and Debian are going complete different directions and we will sooner or later leave the mentioned patchsets aside when we see them as not useful, depending on every software-project individual.

As to be read within their statement from October 22, 2024 the FSF is considering the announcement for further steps into the development of software with the focus on machine learning.
Within their statement the FSF called out the difference between free and non-free implementations. Hyperbola as project is not recognizing this current statement as a step forward within and in our perspective we hope the FSF takes into perspective the tremendous consequences of that technology itself. And we are not afraid to say that we have serious concerns about those consequences, we like to explain more into detail. Before …

In the perspective of Hyperbola as project we are living in times of technical feudalism, a very dangerous development as free, libre software is part of pragmatism and misusage of people, their data and essential information. Hyperbola as project and system is opposing that for sure.

Hello dear interested travelers in the outer rim,

another month is now starting and therefore we take this opportunity to report what was and is going on for Hyperbola as project in the past month.

Works on HyperbolaBSD

Coadde has concluded the analysis for binutils and gcc: In fact the original implementation of our HyperBK uses backported assembler-instructions. So the conclusion is making it now possible also that we review the needed code for our implementation and needed backporting. With this we have now a good base for a near first working pre-alpha version of HyperbolaBSD as full BSD-descendant operating-system …
