@xuu It uses “North American Mode” by default, it seems (says the source code). cal -mw 2024 switches to ISO 8601.

(Everybody should use ISO 8601 or at least RFC 3339!@1@11! 😅)

2024 was a funny year: The year begins *and ends* with calendar week 1:



The one in January being 2024-W01 and the one in December 2025-W01.

🤓

(Hmmm, my printed LaTeX calendar using tikz-kalender gets it wrong or uses different week definitions. It shows next week as 53. 🤔)

Improving the filesystem is probably going to be the next big task. I don’t know *that much* about this stuff, so I’ll have to learn a lot. 🥴

@bender Heh, crazy. Here in Germany, they make you pay good extra money for that. I get a new IP every time my router connects to the internet.

I’ve been making a little toy operating system for the 8086 in the last few days. Now that was a lot of fun!

I don’t plan on making that code public. This is purely a learning project for myself. I think going for real-mode 8086 + BIOS is a good idea as a *first step*. I am well aware that this isn’t going anywhere – but now I’ve gained some experience and learned a ton of stuff, so maybe 32 bit or even 64 bit mode might be doable in the future? We’ll see.

It provides a syscall interface, can launch processes, read/write files (in a very simple filesystem).

Here’s a video where I run it natively on my old Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (and Warp 3 later in the video, because why not):

https://movq.de/v/893daaa548/los86-p133-warp3.mp4

(Sorry for the skewed video. It’s a glossy display and super hard to film this.)

It starts with the laptop’s boot menu and then boots into the kernel and launches a shell as PID 1. From there, I can launch other processes (anything I enter is a new process, except for the exit at the end) and they return the shell afterwards.

And a screenshot running in QEMU:

You mean to say you have the same public IP all the time? For 2.5 years now? Without paying extra? 🤔~

@mckinley I used to have an SSH port reachable from the outside, but since I’m doing 99.999999% working-from-home now, I no longer need that. (I don’t even have a desk at the office anymore and – and this is important for us Germans! – no parking spot, either! 😅)

It’s unfortunate that so many people in tech have such an unfriendly communication style. I won’t read comments on HackerNews, for example. It’s sad, because these people might be more knowledgeable and they might have important things to add, but I just don’t like “being shouted at”. 🫤
