I should post here more, I'll start by posting what I'm working on!!!
I'm writing an OS called mintia2. It's written in a new language called Jackal using a fully custom self-hosted development toolchain, it's portable, and it has paging and preemptive multitasking.

Monkuous's port of Linux to my fantasy computer w/ a custom RISC architecture now gets to a bash prompt. Feels weird I can no longer modify my boot ROM without having to worry about keeping backwards compatibility with... Linux

soooo it's been a while since i posted but apparently my custom RISC architecture runs the whole ass linux kernel now (courtesy of monkuous who has done all the porting work)

How did I get so deep in a particular hobby that I can instantly recognize two random old men ive never met in my life and be hyped that theyre in the same picture together. Not Bill Gates he's boring. The other two much cooler old guys
Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds have met for the first time ever, at a dinner hosted by Sysinternals creator Mark Russinovich. Dave Cutler, Microsoft technical fellow and Windows NT lead developer, also met Linus for the first time www.linkedin.com/posts/markru...

updating my pinned post since its outdated:
hello world!! this is fox32, a fantasy computer platform based on a custom ISA! it runs a graphical multitasking operating system called fox32os, and over the past couple years has gained support for a few new programming languages designed by my friends!

made a family tree (family DAG?) of a bunch of weird DEC operating systems based on like thousands of pages of weird papers i've read through including a bunch of stuff that i had to get digitized by the computer history museum

Twitter convinced me there's a new class of really dumb silicon valley "engineers" with mid 6 figure salaries who were actually hired as social media influencers, unbeknownst to even themselves, and they're too dumb to figure it out lol

Visual difference between RISCy and CISCy encoding in a hex editor view of the mintia kernel binary for XR (my RISC ISA; top) and fox32 (@ryfoxbread's CISC ISA; bottom). You can kinda see the 4 byte aligned boundaries in the RISC code and lack thereof in the CISC code

Last year the earliest known build of Windows NT, the April '91 build, was randomly uploaded by Jeff Parsons on GitHub. It only ran on an internal MIPS R3000 dev board at Microsoft, but I managed to get it to run by porting some firmware and doing a custom machine in MAME:

writing and compiling a fox32os application *all inside fox32os*!! this is using Jackal, a custom high level language made by hyenasky.bsky.social
the text editor is Hjkl which was made by my friend Olive and is also written in Jackal: github.com/OliveIsAWord...
see my pinned for more fox32 details!

Bluesky is a nicotine patch for twitter bc I can put it on my phone and remove twitter and it satisfies my scrolling itch, but the algorithm is way less engaging so im less likely to wind up zombified
