It’s almost time to roll out your own OS, posix is becoming too mainstream

Drew DeVault just did a Unix clone as a break from “real work”
People like this, by simply existing, make me feel like a real dumb piece of shit.
My breaks from real work are video games, TV, and this sort of shit posting we've got going on in this thread right here.
While he’s no doubt very high intelligence, I think there’s a combination of personality, personal interests, and drive that these outstanding people have. For some people, the work is what they want to be doing AND what makes them happy/fulfilled.
Like you, I am not like that. A productive day at work can feel great, but I’m never sitting at home thinking I’d rather be working on some idea for an app or game.
Society has taught me that what I SHOULD want to do is that “productive” stuff. Work long hours, strike it rich on my own or climb the ladder at work, etc. But the wiring in my brain does not get fulfillment and happiness from that stuff. But spending that time on family, pets, and hobbies has greatly increased my quality of life over the past few years.
Yeah, it's the same for me. Work is so I have the money I need to live, but free time is so much more valuable to me.
I like to consider what I would or wouldn’t regret when I’m older. I’ve heard plenty of successful people lament not being a better parent while focused on their career. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard somebody regret spending time with their family instead of their work.
That's why I plan to move my servers into an L4 clone.
I applaud this future thinking. you need bare metal or whatever you consider L4 to truly rice a system. Gone are the days where superior performance was a couple of finely tuned cpu flags away.
Well, ok. I don't really plan to do that. It was a joke.
I do wish it was something viable, though.
Heard me out
