Ariel (🐿 arc)Chat, what's odds RedoxOS works on this 2015 Macbook? It's struggling a bit much these days and is definitely falling out of vendor OS support...<a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/Redox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redox</a> <a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/RedoxOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedoxOS</a>

They're aware existing software has to work there for the OS to pick up traction. IMO right way to do.Write your software in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Redox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redox</a> and you'll not be bonded by _old ways_.

UnaI just found something interesting and funny about Redox os. Its operating system written fully in rust. Right? Rust is created by oxidation of iron in presence of oxygen, in chemistry such reaction is called redox reaction.

Val Packett 🧉The <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> for <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> debacle should be a wake-up call for accelerating safe OS innovation.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> proves you can reuse huge pieces of Linux, with GPU and WiFi drivers ported in kernel space (LinuxKPI) and USB (input, video capture, etc.) drivers running in userspace (webcamd – RIP Hans 😔). This all in a relatively sustainable way with a very small group of developers.What we need to be building is kind of an inverse of R4L, a "Linux for Rust", a common Driver Depenguinator, a successor to webcamd that would port Linux drivers to a common abstraction layer (like embedded-hal but not so embedded) that would be implemented for both Linux/BSD userspace (w/ CUSE, uinput, UIO, udmabuf, /dev/mem, etc.) and various microkernels like <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Redox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redox</a>.That would be an LSP-style "NxM to N+M" moment for OSdev, instantly making microkernel projects a lot more viable in practice.

Eduardo MedinaVeo que ciertos responsables de <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> han tomado una decisión: que el kernel colapse por sí mismo y de la misma forma en que lo ha hecho <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xorg</a>.A Torvalds y sus acólitos les digo lo siguiente: que se cuiden de <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Redox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redox</a>, porque tengo la sensación de que este proyecto, al contrario de <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BSD</a> y <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haiku</a>, sí tiene opciones de desplazar a Linux, sobre todo en el escritorio.Y por supuesto, veo a muchos de los "expulsados" de Linux ir a Redox buscando un entorno más amigable. <a href="https://www.kernelcast.es/noticias/2317436_linus-torvalds-y-el-drama-del-controlador-rust-en-el-kernel-de-linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.kernelcast.es/noticias/2317436_linus-torvalds-y-el-drama-del-controlador-rust-en-el-kernel-de-linux</a>

Ariel (🐿 arc)Spun a RedoxOS VM today to poke it. Looks cool but some stuff was straight up broken, might faff about with the VM settings to see if I can get it in better shape.<a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/Redox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redox</a> <a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/RedoxOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedoxOS</a> <a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/Proxmox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proxmox</a> <a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/QEMU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QEMU</a> <a href="https://eigenmagic.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a>

Eduardo MedinaSinceramente, creo que <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haiku</a> jamás dejará de ser un juguete, pero que los desarrolladores del kernel <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> tengan más cuidado con <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Redox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redox</a>, porque creo que este último sí tiene probabilidades de adelantarles por la derecha.

HoldMyTypee majority of <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Redox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redox</a> syscalls are very, very thin wrappers around safe Rust code on both sides and any system that wants to transition between user and kernel space is going to have to do this, as you noted you are doing something similar with hand-written assembly.Relibc itself has a vast amount of safe Rust, and the C ABI it exposes can often be safe as well, as there are many C functions that don't pass around raw pointers that are the major thing requiring unsafe in a C library. For the ones that do, they are often trivial enough to be able to provide safety to the application using them.For example, the read function takes a file descriptor, a pointer, and a length. For a Redox program written in Rust, it passes in a &mut [u8] to libstd, which converts that to a mutable pointer and length to pass to relibc, which converts that to a usize address and usize length to pass through the syscall interface, which then validates the address and length and converts it back into a &mut [u8] for the rust code that handles the read call. When simply using libstd in safe Rust, there is no room for error unless you have some other unsafe code in your program that messes with this mutable slice, for example, creating an invalid mutable slice with slice::from_raw_parts_mut in your program. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/190znk5/mot%C5%ABrus_os_motor_os_a_rustfirst_operating_system/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/190znk5/mot%C5%ABrus_os_motor_os_a_rustfirst_operating_system/</a>
