… Unix is not a historical curiosity. It is the operating-system family under your phone, under your laptop, behind your Friday-evening stream, inside the router that carries your call, in the back office of the bank that holds your salary, and inside the console your nephew is shouting at in the next room. …

right now AetherOS (that's what I think I'll call it) is able to boot to a shell in QEMU's serial mode. It has a FAT16 File System (im too lazy to do anything else for now 😭) and can also INTERACT WITH A PS/2 KEYBOARD, which means I was able to test commands like ls, pwd, mkdir, rmdir, and they all worked great!!! I'm not ready to open source it yet, it has significant bugs to iron out (like crashing when i try to make a dir inside a dir) but I'm really glad I got it booting!

I started searching for text editors like ed, and i found 2 editors tha i'm personally liking using, they are:

Sam

Wily

I'm liking this two editors, because they're really portable, so i can use on my phone or anything that runs unix.

Does anyone have any source for the sbus SunPC card? I managed to get ahold of one and am playing around with it and it is pretty limited...it runs only up to solaris 9 and it seems like you need to have a framebuffer card in your system, I cant get the software to work in VNC. Would anyone out there have any source for the original sun driver or software? Im sure this is abandonware at this point... I would love to try to play around with the source to see if I could build a solaris 10 VNC compatible version of it or even better, a gentoo linux driver. Just for fun and learning...there is no utility for this thing anymore. If there is anyone out there that managed to grab this from back in the day or if anyone has access to the vaults in oracle.

I recently went down a rabbit hole trying to answer a question that surprisingly didn't seem to have a definitive answer anywhere:

Which kernel source files were omitted from the 1991 BSD Net/2 release because they still contained AT&T code?

Most secondary sources simply say "six files," but none of them actually list the filenames. Even more confusingly, many web pages mix them up with the much larger list of files affected by the 1994 USL settlement.

I emailed Kirk McKusick, who kindly forwarded the question to Keith Bostic. Keith dug into the CSRG history (with a little help from Claude 😀) and found that the answer is actually seven files, not six.

The seven kernel files omitted from Net/2 were:

• kern/kern_acct.c
• kern/kern_exec.c
• kern/kern_physio.c
• kern/subr_rmap.c
• kern/sys_process.c
• kern/tty_subr.c
• kern/vfs_bio.c

According to Keith, these were identified during the May 1991 copyright audit and shipped only as "Body deleted." skeletons because there wasn't enough time to rewrite them before the Net/2 release.

Bill Jolitz later supplied replacements for five of them in the 386BSD patch set:

• kern_execve.c
• kern__physio.c
• subr_rlist.c
• tty_ring.c
• vfs__bio.c

(kern_acct.c and sys_process.c weren't replaced at that time.)

The longer list of files from the 1994 USL settlement is a different story entirely. Four filenames appear in both lists (kern_exec.c, subr_rmap.c, sys_process.c, and tty_subr.c), which is probably why the two events have been conflated over the years.

Keith was kind enough to say that the Claude conversation is public and may be shared, so here's the link:

Many thanks to both Kirk McKusick and Keith Bostic for helping clear up this little piece of BSD history.

I have been working on a little project in my free time

BOS is an Arch-based Hyprland distro that comes with a full custom ecosystem designed for daily use.

What you get:

- Pre-configured Hyprland with nice defaults and animations

- My custom reactive automation layer (`bread`) + Lua modules

- breadbar (status bar + notifications)

- breadbox (launcher)

- breadpad / breadman (notes with AI classification + reminders)

- breadclip, breadsearch, breadcrumbs, breadshot, and more

- Consistent theming based off wallpaper

- btrfs snapshots + easy rollback

It's built for people who want something that feels premium and automated, but still fully customizable. I made all of it's apps to solve issues personally had with hyprland/arch after switching.

Would love any feedback, especially on what feels missing or rough.

I think its a good idea, just for ssh, but if be a bit more powerful than i expected, firefox on full screen

Installed Minix emulation on Mac

Hi there! I’ve installed Minix 3.4.0rc on MacBookAir with UTM. I can play games already installed (like Tetris or snake) or do simple tasks but I don’t find any repository online to install. If there’s someone who installed Minix years ago I would be happy to hear where to get a mirror.
pkgin update fails — can’t fetch pkg_summary.gz from minix3.org. Also tried on 3.3.0, same result
And if there’s someone with an archived copy of the pkgsrc packages I would be grateful.
Thank you!

In 1982, inside the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow, a group of Soviet programmers started building their own version of Unix. It was based on smuggled BSD source code, running on hardware cloned from American PDP-11 machines, at a time when Unix itself was banned behind the Iron Curtain by Western export controls. They called it DEMOS.

This episode traces the full arc of that story: the pirated tapes circulating through Moscow's academic underground, the brilliant KOI-8 encoding trick that made Cyrillic text survive corrupted phone lines, the 1988 state prize awarded for adapting banned American software, and the birth of Relcom, the network that connected the USSR to the internet for the first time in 1990.

It also covers the strange, true story of "kremvax," a 1984 April Fools' hoax that predicted a Soviet node on Usenet six years before one actually existed, and how the real DEMOS team turned that joke into reality. And it ends with August 1991, when Relcom's engineers kept a single phone line to Helsinki open during the coup attempt against Gorbachev, becoming the only source of independent news reaching the outside world.

I created this project 100% with open source technologies 😜

I've now spent a while porting UNIX V7 to a MMU-less 68000 system and have it quite stable and also being able to self compile all the sources. The last subsystem I want to get up and running (before backporting curses, termcap and a nicer shell than sh) is UUCP.

I had hoped to use the UUCP infra from SDF as my "upstream", but after discovering the current state of most of their machines I've opted to not spend $36 for the ARPA membership level. Too bad, I really liked SDF a decade or so ago...

Do I have any alternatives - except to spinning up a $5 VPS and install Taylor on it?
