10:26 < cloudowind> timer: do you know who has written newos?
<cloudowind>
10:26 < timer> The NewOS operating system was primarily developed by a programmer named Travis Geiselbrecht. He started the project in the late 1990s and continued its development for several years. NewOS served as an experimental platform and was influential in the development of other operating systems, including the kernel of the Haiku operating system.

repsects to everyone , will see you later geist

i am pushing new bounds in scalability and the sun engineering ethos
<netbsduser>
just started implementing solaris style event ports
<nikolar>
neat
<mjg>
these 2 are incompatible goals man
<mjg>
the cornerstone of sun engineering ethos is to not scale
<Ermine>
my kernal will have a lot of sun/bsd engineering ethos

Are you looking to get bought by Oracle? :|

No
<Ermine>
I'd better get bought by microsoft
<zid>
surpass oracle
<zid>
become the sun

Do Microsoft not already have an OS? Better get bought by somebody else :P
<nikolapdp>
MOON MEGASYSTEMS vs SUN MICROSYSTEMS
<mjg>
elon musk should write a software cmpany to write an OS
<nikolapdp>
write a company?
<GeDaMo>
X OS, I'd assume
<mjg>
buy
<mjg>
i can see it running on half of devices in the world
<mjg>
could be running the client side X app
<mjg>
for payments
<Ermine>
I don't think microsoft will mind having another os
<mjg>
they already have linukkz
<zid>
Them buying it so they can kill the absurdly powerful threat to their business
<zid>
still counts
<Ermine>
Though all their OSen other that Windows and Linux are research ones
<mjg>
they should adopt a bsd
<mjg>
i found an abandoned "research kernel" which talked shit about scalability
<GeDaMo>
Do Meta have their own OS?
<mjg>
it had locking primitives taken from bsd
<mjg>
:d
<nikolapdp>
which one is that ,jg
<nikolapdp>
mjg
<mjg>
i don't remember the name, was quite some time
<mjg>
it was offensive in the usual manner
<kof673>
"they should adopt a bsd" > Eventually, Unix ran away from home. Soon it was living on the streets of Berkeley. There, Unix got involved with a bad crowd.
<Ermine>
XENIX
<Ermine>
mjg: did you check xenix scalability?
<mjg>
xenix? did it even smp?
<vai>
I just want an OS I use. Thats why I am making one.
<mjg>
:p
<mjg>
i wonder how many people use their own os as their daily driver
<vai>
if I use it, others will follow
<mjg>
with maybe at most handful other contributors
<Ermine>
id re xenix
<Ermine>
idk
<mjg>
i was told about one crazy man supposedly doing it

dang i’m going blank, there was a little multi tasking posixy thing for apple 2 i remember seeing somewhere
<mjg>
shieet
<geist>
it had a cute name iirc
<kazinsal>
yeah I remember seeing something similar for c64
<kazinsal>
took like, five minutes to load off a tape of course
<GeDaMo>
Something like Geos?
<mjg>
5 minutes is nothing
<mjg>
games would take longer
<geist>
without any sort of hardware assist it’s a bit difficult, but something like tandy coco 3 is perfect for it
<geist>
since it has a nice banking feature that scales up to like a megabyte
<geist>
hence why that 6809 kernel shows up all over the place
<geist>
which i’m also going blank on
<geist>
iirc the coco 3 has like 4 banks of 16k across the 64k address space, and any bank can point to one of 16 or whatnot banks of up to 1MB. or something like that
<geist>
basically just 4 4 bit latches, but very flexible
<geist>
i probablyhave the numbers wrong, but the idea is the same
<bslsk05>
