WAIT DON’T LEAVE YET !

If you liked this comic, there’s more where that came from ! I’m currently in very difficult place financially and hand crafted a comic compilation with love and tenderness. It’s called “The way home” and it has five comics with commentary, including two unreleased drafts. It’s only three bucks, which for me is a LOT these days !

You can get it on Kofi

Or join my Patreon where it’s free for both Vallhunds and Huskies

It’s 71 pages long, so grab a a cup of your favorite hot beverage and enjoy !

What are your thoughts on completely reimplementing the Linux kernel in c++

I mean if you're gonna rewrite it, why not in @rust-official? (and im not just saying this because the person behind the tumblr account is so cool)

🎄💾🗓️ Day 10: Retrocomputing Advent Calendar - BeOS 🎄💾🗓️

BeOS, developed by Be Inc. in the mid-1990s, was an operating system for multimedia applications, multitasking, and multithreading. Initially designed for the BeBox—a proprietary hardware platform featuring dual PowerPC processors—BeOS was later ported to the Macintosh and x86 architectures. Its kernel was monolithic, and the system was primarily written in C++. It featured a 64-bit journaling Be File System (BFS), which supported metadata and allowed rapid file queries and fast performance for multimedia tasks. Despite its technical strengths, including support for symmetric multiprocessing and a responsive graphical user interface, BeOS struggled to gain market traction. Development ceased in 2001 after Palm Inc. acquired Be Inc.'s assets. BeOS continues through Haiku, an open-source project aiming for binary compatibility with BeOS R5.

A bunch of resources and links for this one!

Linux Code of Conduct Board Blocks File System Changes

Imagine basing code contributions on a Code of Conduct.

I would fucking love for someone to be banned, who then releases code to fix a 0-day exploit, and have whatever FOSS project not be able to implement it because it would mean their CoC is worthless.

Like, Jesus Christ. These people do it for free and you want to tell them, "Do to this violation you no longer have the Privilege of working for us for free. Come back later and we might let you."

I think I've found a new channel to subscribe to.

Don't fall for this identity that you see. Perceive me as a wandering spirit, soaring somewhere in another world, bound by nothing, confined into nothing. What matters is not this matter, but the essence - confounding, mysterious, unknown, mostly hidden, ever escaping from any limelight, the very source of sources, life energy, the center, the ultimate nucleus, that ancient timeless nameless, sprouting & springing forth from the very divine. Catch me there, in that parallel universe, don't fall for this fleeting shadow that you see...

fun Linux kernel programming fact: if your function returns a pointer you can still return a negative integer value to indicate that an error has occurred because virtual memory addresses don't use the high bits of a pointer.

This is explicitly supported by the macros in include/linux/err.h
