    • Set Up a Thunderbird Build Environment in Linux

      Are you a Linux user who wants to build Thunderbird? Here's a tutorial on how to setup a development environment in Ubuntu, in just a few commands! This is helpful if you're interested in fixing bugs, trying out patches, or making any local changes to Thunderbird.

      Tutorial Commands:

      Setup tools needed to build Thunderbird

      $ sudo apt install python3-pip mercurial

      Checkout the source code

      $ mkdir tb-build && cd tb-build
      $ hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central source
      $ cd source/
      $ hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central comm

      Run the bootstrap command from the source directory. Choose 2 (to build Firefox for Desktop). Choose all of the default options.

      $ ./mach bootstrap

      Create your mozconfig file in the source directory with the following info

      $ vim mozconfig
      ac_add_options --enable-project=comm/mail

      Build Thunderbird!

      $ ./mach build

      Run what you just built!

      $ ./mach run

    • Modding a Commodore 64 for HDMI!

      Does your Commodore 64 output pixel-perfect HDMI? Because mine does.

      Thank you so much to Side Projects Lab for making this awesome kit. You can find out more at the GitHub for the project: https://github.com/sideprojectslab/HD-64/.

      I bought this one myself for €109, from Retro 8-Bit Shop: https://www.retro8bitshop.com/product/spl-hd-64/.

      You can also buy one from retro-updates.com: https://www.retro-updates.com/product/17245372/hd-64-commodore-64-hdmi-output-fpga

      If you buy the kit, make sure to buy it from one of these two places. This video isn't sponsored, but it's a kind thing to buy this from a reseller that's working with the developer. Let's support cool projects like this.

      Speaking of cool projects... I got my purple Retro Fuzion case from the initial crowdfund, but it looks like you can still buy them here: https://www.retrofuzion.com/products/breadbin-case-set.

      If you need a new VIC-II, a good option if you can get it is the VIC-II Kawari, which will also hook you up with HDMI video out: https://accentual.com/vicii-kawari/

      If you already have invested in an RGBtoHDMI setup, or just don't like soldering, I really like C0pperdragon's LumaCode project, and you can find out more at https://www.tindie.com/products/c0pperdragon/vic-ii-dizer/. Note that the LumaCode will need an RGBtoHDMI setup to work (unlike the build featured in today's video).

      Lastly: these videos take forever to make and I rely on community support to make Veronica Explains happen. Monthly supporters get access to my Discord/Matrix room, and my immense gratitude:
