  1. @distrowatch

    Tyson Liddell at #minix mail list posted that have recently been exploring MINIX 1.1 and put together a dev environment containing the MINIX source code and a vendored-in 8086/8088 cross-compiler (dev86/Bruce's C Compiler). Available at codeberg.org/tlid/minix

As you can see, I also adopted another name. I also expanded the scope, with the creation of "Custom Manpages," I can add the manpages of a specific software.

  6. @kkarhan @f4grx @projectanchorage Idea! Use the #Minix kernel for Echium.

    It's old but still modern, not updated since 2018 (according to master branch of Minix on GitHub), doesn't have AI slop, looks fun to hack on, it's BSD-like and a descendant of #UNIX. It's perfect because it compiles. We also continue Minix!

    Might copy the src to the Echium #Codeberg repo, push, modify, strip and get others on. I'm open to peeps asking to join too given they're against genAI.

  7. IMHO #linux bisa seperti saat ini bukan karena diawali ingin menjadi sesuatu yang ideal tetapi justru karena pragmatisme.

    Pd saat itu desain #microkernel #minix yg tdk monolithic dianggap sebagai mimpi indah idealisme sebuah #kernel. Tetapi Torvalds dan yang lain melihat banyak hal sangat ribet untuk diimpelmentasikan menggunakan desain microkernel, sehingga mereka memilih pragmatis.

    Hingga lahir dan terus berkembanglah linux yang tidak ideal tapi bisa berevolusi menjadi seperti sekarang.

  16. Modula-2, UCSD P-System, and the birth of Scala

    I stumbled across this tidbit from Hacker News.

    I never liked that #Borland stuffs. And used to program in #Pascal in #UCSD P-system (my alma mater). When I got to the US Department of Defense they wanted me for my #C and #COBOL skills and then they sent me to an Air Force School where I studied Modula-2 and Ada.

    I did a lot of work in Modula-2, which doesn't exist anymore. Modula-3 does, but in the meantime Scala was in the works. #Ada is still actually a thing. We didn't want clever, like those one liner #Perl challenges that folks use to put in their signature lines to demonstrate how clever they thought they were through obfuscation.

    Clever is bad. Clever opens up a whole universe of unexpected behavior and potential vulnerabilities. Maybe that's why #Rust became so organically popular - because it's safe by design and nowadays it's included in the Linux kernel more and more.

    When you're designing software for missle guidance systems you most certainly do not want clever. The job is simple and ambiguity is potentially catastrophic in warfare.

    Anyway, I really enjoyed this interview, I can identify with the #Timex_Sinclair - my dad bought me one and that membrane keyboard was horrendous, but I was persistent and eventually I was writing code in cutting edge languages on mainframes and #Vaxen.

    Many of the stories about how one thing or another came about were through frustrations; like the impetus for #Linus the #Linux kernel coz #MINIX just didn't cut it, and who wants to trodge through snow drifts in #Helsinki to the computer lab when you can be warm and cozy, drinking beers in your dorm room?

    This story is kinda like that too, which I can really appreciate, even though I've never played with #Scala.

    I hope you enjoy it too.

    🗣️ He announced Linux 🐧️ in 1991 on the newsgroup comp.os.minix with this message: 📰️

    💻️ "I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like GNU) for 386(486) AT clones." 👇️

  24. MINIX launches ER936-AI and ER937-AI AMD Strix Point mini PCs for $789 and up

    The MINIX ER936-AI and ER937-AI are a set of compact desktop computers with AMD Strix Point processors that combine Zen 5 CPU cores with RDNA 3.5 graphics and a 50 TOPS NPU.

    First unveiled during Computex in June, the mini PCs are now available for pre-order and they’re expected to begin shipping in early September. Prices start at $769 for an ER936-AI with a Ryzen AI 9 HX 365 processor or […]

  25. MINIX introduces two AMD Strix Point mini PCs: ER936-AI and ER937-AI

    MINIX has been selling mini PCs and Android TV boxes for more than a decade – they first showed up  on my radar as one of the first companies making Android-powered TV sticks. More recently, the company has made some distinctive fanless mini PCs with Intel Alder Lake chips.

    But MINIX also showed off some higher-performance mini PCs at the Computex show in Taiwan in May, including two models […]

  26. Is #ELKS (8086 linux) still a thing? Would the #book8088 be a good machine for it?

    I suspect the #XTCF BIOS wants a DOS4 style partition table so i dunno if the old 8086 UNIXes (#coherent, #xenix, #minix) would cooperate.

    Then there's the whole issue of installing such a thing on a machine that doesn't support floppy drives... 😝

  27. MINIX: History, Architecture, and Comparisons with GNU/Linux

    MINIX is a Unix-like operating system that holds a unique place in the history of operating systems, especially for its role in shaping the development of modern open-source operating systems like Linux. Created by computer science professor Andrew S. Tanenbaum in the mid-1980s.

  28. MINIX ER939-AI is a compact AI workstation with Ryzen AI Max+ 395

    Ten months after AMD introduced its Ryzen AI Max “Strix Halo” mobile processors, most of the computers to actually use the chips have… not been all that mobile. While we’ve seen a handful of Strix Halo laptops and tablets, the vast majority of systems have been mini PCs.

    And now it looks like another is on the way. The upcoming MINIX ER939-AI is an upcoming computer with an AMD Ryzen AI […]

    Now Linux powers 96.3% of the top one million servers, #NASA research, public service systems from India to Türkiye, and makes instant observability possibility with tools like #eBPF.

    The future is #FOSS, thank you for being a part of it!
