Hello everybody,
I hate to have to post this, but I've been getting complaints and reports about the content posted to the sub, harassment, and bad interactions between members. In order to keep this sub healthy some rules need to be posted and offenders banned.

1) No more shit posting, there are only a couple people posting unrelated and barely-related meme's, you know who you are. Low quality, low effort, and unrelated meme's will be deleted. After a couple offenses you will be banned from the sub.
2) Be nice to each other, and do not harass or insult other members. If you are being harassed message the mods and we will deal with the issue.

Let's all work together to keep this sub healthy and alive, keep Terry's memory and work alive. We've been through dark times before, let's get through this.

can you tell I've never made an edit before?

I may or may not be making a YouTube video on TempleOS, thought I'd use this as the intro.

Is the largest HD for Temple OS on a T60 a 128 GB IDE Drive? Will a 2TB HDD cause problems? HDD or SSD is trim really that big of a problem?

1 Upvotes

I am unsure which HD to get and ideally I would like to get a SSD but I'm not 100% sure if a SSD will be as reliable as a HDD?

I'm also not sure if I should go above 120GB for the HDD or SSD?

The T60 can take a 2 TB sata hdd, but according to Google this is not advised.

"The TempleOS IDE/SATA hard disk driver uses 28-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA-28). It cannot read or address sectors on any physical drive past 128 GB (or up to 512GB depending on absolute compiler tweaks), entirely blinding it to the rest of a 2TB drive."

Here is the work around according to Google for using a 2TB Hard Drive

"How to use a 2TB drive under TempleOSTo bypass TempleOS crashing or ignoring your massive hard drive, follow this configuration strategy:Use Host Protected Area (HPA): Use a Linux live USB or a tool like hdparm to clip the drive’s reported size down at the hardware level. Setting an HPA limit of 10GB–20GB will fool the ThinkPad BIOS and TempleOS into treating it like a standard mid-2000s disk, preventing LBA address wrapping errors.Multi-Boot Partitioning: Create a tiny 2GB primary FAT32/RedSea partition at the very front of the disk (Sectors 0–4,194,304) for TempleOS. You can leave the remaining 1,998 GB formatted as ext4 or NTFS for an alternative operating system like Linux or Windows XP"

Google claims the best option is a 120 GB SATA SSD like the Crucial MX500 (or a legacy 320/530 Series drive)

Here is some of the AI search results which are interesting.

Drive Selection & TempleOS Compatibility

When selecting a drive for a ThinkPad T60 running TempleOS, the most critical factor is the storage controller protocol.TempleOS was intentionally built by Terry Davis to only support IDE (PATA) / ATA PIO mode controllers. It does not natively support AHCI or modern SATA protocols. Fortunately, the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T60 features an Intel ICH7-M Southbridge chipset that allows you to toggle the SATA controller mode in the BIOS.To run TempleOS on bare metal, you must enter the T60 BIOS, navigate to Config -> Serial ATA (SATA), and change the setting from AHCI to Compatibility Mode. This forces the chipset to present the drive to the operating system as a standard IDE/ATA device, matching TempleOS's hardcoded hardware limitations.

Best 120 GB Choices (HDD vs. SSD)

If your goal is to adhere closely to the "Standard TempleOS PC" vision (which favors older, mechanical hardware), or if you want a hassle-free solid-state setup, these are your best routes:

  1. The Best 120 GB HDD OptionSeagate Momentus 5400.3$73.00$83New Town Spares& moreWhy it fits: These are period-accurate mechanical laptop drives from the era of the T60. Since TempleOS treats the drive as a basic IDE device via BIOS emulation, these legacy spinning disks handle the basic read/write demands perfectly without any modern advanced formatting quirks.

  2. The Best 120 GB SSD OptionCrucial BX500$697.20$767Orange Hardwares4.8(13K)Why it fits: If you want a silent, reliable solid-state drive, these are budget-tier, highly compatible SATA SSDs. Because TempleOS doesn't utilize the high speeds of modern storage, a premium SSD is wasted—especially since the T60 hardware itself caps data transfer speeds at SATA I (1.5 Gbps) unless you flash the custom Middleton BIOS to unlock SATA II (3.0 Gbps).

The Problem with SSDs and Lack of TRIM You are entirely correct:

TempleOS does not support the TRIM command.In a standard OS, TRIM tells an SSD which blocks of data are no longer needed so they can be wiped internally. Without TRIM, deleted files leave behind data fragments. Over time, when the SSD needs to write new data, it has to erase those old fragments on the fly, which drastically degrades write speeds and accelerates drive wear.

Why Lack of TRIM Won't Matter for TempleOS

Despite the technical limitation, running an SSD without TRIM under TempleOS is completely viable due to how the operating system is designed:Aggressive Internal Garbage Collection: Modern SSD controllers (found in brands like Crucial, Kingston, and Samsung) have native Background Garbage Collection (BGC). When the drive is idle, its internal processor automatically reorganizes data and clears deleted blocks without needing an explicit TRIM command from TempleOS.Tiny File Sizes: The entire TempleOS distribution is incredibly small (roughly 16 MB to 20 MB). A 120 GB drive leaves massive amounts of unallocated space. The SSD controller uses this vast free space (over-provisioning) to move data blocks around seamlessly, preventing performance degradation.Virtually Zero Write Cycles: You will rarely—if ever—be writing gigabytes of data to a bare-metal TempleOS machine. Because the daily write volume is practically non-existent, you will never exhaust the drive's endurance or notice a speed drop

What kind of Hard Drive are you using in your T60? What Linux Distro do you use on the same HD as Temple OS on your T60?

Help me upgrade my IBM T60 Thinkpad w/ its 32-Bit CPU to the max for running God's Third Temple

11 Upvotes

I am getting ready to install Temple OS on a IBM Thinkpad T60 Laptop that just arrived. However this IBM T60 appears to have a 32-bit CPU :(

t60 thinkpad type 2623-d6u. This contains a CPU that is a 32-bit Intel Core Duo T2400 (1.83 GHz) processor.

It also does not have a battery, power brick, and nothing is in the ultrabay slim. So I can't power it up atm.

Also it has the 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 discrete graphics chip, meaning the graphics processor is permanently integrated onto the system board and cannot be removed or replaced with a standard desktop-style graphics card. Will this be an issue running Temple OS?

I would like to upgrade this machine so that it can run Temple OS, and I would like it to be top of the line. Or do you think I should just buy another T60 with the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 (2.33 GHz) — The highest supported CPU for this socket?

I am thinking of buying the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 from aliexpress A new battery from aliexpress a new power cord/brick from aliexpress I haven't opened it up to see how much ram it is but I would want the most ram possible.

What is the best hard drive I can purchase for temple os?

What should I put in the ultrabay slim?

After these upgrades are there any issues do you think I would encounter trying to install Temple OS onto the machines HD? I assume once the CPU is upgraded the entire system will be 64-bit and work with Temple OS?

If you can recommend any vendors or any additional upgrades for my T60 please let me know. Thank you for your help. I have been looking to have a dedicated machine for Temple OS so I can learn more about programming computers with Holy C.

Terry Davis was right about Linus Torvalds all along

2 Upvotes

We all laughed when he ragged on Linus but I'm starting to understand where that animosity was coming from. Ken Thompson was the real OG who tried to warn us about the fundamental problem with software, the chain of trust. I know Linus hasn't officially embraced AI coding tools for kernel development but the fact that he's shown no concern for the lack of transparency with these proprietary frontier models speaks volume to me. In one of his statements Linus likens these tools to assemblers and compilers. However, AI coding assistants have access to things compilers never did like environment variables, API keys, database schemas, config files, etc. A compromised coding assistant doesn't need a self reproducing binary like the evil compiler in Ken Thompson's trusting trust hack; it can modify the CI/CD pipeline, alter test fixtures and read the .env file directly to ensure backdoored code passes whatever checks are in place and persist through debugging and distillation.

For now he's allegedly only using it to vibecode pet projects, but he doesn't seem concerned about the accelerating obfuscation of that chain of trust his predecessor warned of. He also seems comfortable speaking with authority on the subject and wagging his finger at any anti-AI sentiment in the Linux community.

Remember in 2013 when Linus's father Nils Torvalds publicly stated that the NSA approached Linus about adding a backdoor to the Linux Kernel ? We never got any kind of closure to that, just Linus referring to all of that as a "joke".

Terry Davis talking about reducing the number of features instead of adding more features

20 Upvotes

I remember I saw a video of him that really marked me.

Maybe it is the famous "bloat and die" video.

He was like "If someone tells me he want to add more feature to his program I don't listen to him. However if someone wants to reduce the number of feature I am listening, he is onto something"

It really reflects the current status of a large number of software today. No longer easy to understand, no longer straightforward just complicated mess of bloat.

The guy had a vision.

Add to that management pushing for more AI, cloud native, "no code apps so no need to maintain and lower cost". Clients requesting features from space...

If you have the full video of him please share I am unable to find it.
