Out of multiple conversations with people at BSD conferences, I noticed that many would love to see a chatbot that provides precise information on FreeBSD—for users, admins, and developers. I strongly believe that there should not be an official chat.freebsd.org. Local chatbots work well and can be tweaked to fit personal needs. This documentation is written for macOS with Apple Silicon (because of the GPU support), but should work on other OSes as well.| hackacad.net
People who followed my Hoshi OSdev-ing adventure know by now that I started working on the OS (actually, at that time the plan was to write a bootloader) in 2015, and my development setup was very different at that time, and that it changed several times.| sizeof(cat)

Since I got into programming, I’ve regularly seen operating-systems tutorials and implementation guides pass by. They always leave a lingering desire behind them, an echo of the well-known siren song: “when are you going to create your toy operating system?” Inevitably, time passes and the desire fades, till the next tutorial shows up and the cycle repeats. Today I’m breaking the cycle. I’m setting a challenge for myself, and I’m publishing it for the sake of the many curious soul...| Adolfo Ochagavía

Overview Interlisp-D (and the Medley version of it) were originally developed at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the 1970’s and 80’s. It was a software environment for rapid prototyping, research and Artificial Intelligence, combining the power of the Lisp language and system elements with the now common PARC-born Windows/Icon/Mouse/Pointer graphical user interface. The Medley Interlisp project was started in 2020 by a few of the original developers, focusing on reviving the...| The Medley Interlisp Project

The standard library contains a ton of code that we don’t want to write ourselves, including printf, scanf, math functions, and so forth. So, we need to make sure our operating system can link to this library and everything “just works”. This post will show you how I linked our operating system to a standard library, newlib, and the trials and tribulations encountered in doing so.| Stephen Marz

I made a graphical IRC client that runs in UEFI. It’s written in Rust and leverages the GUI toolkit and TrueType renderer that I wrote for axle’s userspace. I was able to develop it thanks to the vmnet network backend that I implemented for QEMU. You can connect to an IRC server, chat and read messages, all from the comfort of your motherboard’s pre-boot environment. “Why”? What kind of question is “why”?| axle OS
