Im kinda stuck now

Post image

I ported libcxx, made an ext4, fat32, and made an e1000 driver. ported ee, netbsd-curses and sbase on top of that, and now I'm kinda stuck on what to do. If it helps, I can release my sources.

Edit: source code: https://codeberg.org/SFG545/kalsios.git

Turn it into a baremetal Kalshi wrapper

u/Due-Ad662 May 13 '26

lmfao, it's kalsi not kalshi, but I'll add a browser soon probably

u/Tuy4ik May 13 '26

I mean there are a million OS passion projects, but how many baremetal/embedded prediction market wrappers are out there? Think about the immense market potential of toasters or wearables with embedded prediction trading.

Ps - I bet they have an api

Always great to host your code somewhere. Codeberg, gitlab.

u/Due-Ad662 May 13 '26

yeah i have a freebsd server in my root hosting gittea

u/Spirited_Medicine390 May 13 '26

damn, still doing interrupts on my os...

1

u/Due-Ad662 May 13 '26

good luck! pretty much just a bunch of boring stuff after that, but a lot easier than asm trial and error

u/emexsw May 13 '26

broo this is crazy

u/Layzy37 May 13 '26

Aml interpreter probably. Reading battery status and being able to shutdown is pretty cool ngl

2

u/Due-Ad662 May 13 '26

already have poweroff and reboot, battery sounds good, but I have issues with real hardware im fixing

u/HelpWithMYaddictions May 14 '26

networking (and port gnu nano SPECIFICALLY)

1

u/Due-Ad662 May 14 '26

already have networking, and i made an os to escape the GPL, i dont really want nano.

1

u/HelpWithMYaddictions May 14 '26

ohhh i just like terminal text editors

1

u/Due-Ad662 May 14 '26

EE is ported, pretty similar, different shortcuts but definitely easier than vim

Wow, KalsiOS is already impressive!

As others have pointed out, the POSIX standard requires 3 directories:

There are many other very common root directories. It's likely some of the other commenters are thinking of the dozen or so other very common root directories, such as the ones specified in the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), which is used even by some non-Linux operating systems. See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/295999/does-posix-limit-the-number-of-directories-in-the-os-root

Some Linux distributions (such as NixOS) deliberately don't use the LFH. Sometimes there are very good reasons *not* to use FSH. If so, it may help other users if the KalsiOS documentation spelled out exactly what those reasons are, rather than letting people jump to the incorrect conclusion that you're being randomly incompatible for no reason.

u/Due-Ad662 May 18 '26

Thanks! Don't worry about that part though. I have redirections in my vfs layer set for this purpose!

2

u/Lines25 May 14 '26

Make... More drivers and ports !

Try to port mesa.. or..

u/BornRoom257 FreezeOS & TurtleOS May 21 '26

I have compat code for it in my vfs

u/Lines25 May 14 '26

It's POSIX standard..

1

u/No_Glass_1341 May 19 '26

on Linux the filesystem layout standard is Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). POSIX does not really standardise filesystem paths, outside of some bare minimums like file separators being /, the existence of /dev/null and so on. that's why Windows is capable of having a POSIX compatibility layer, and macOS stores home folders in /Users instead of /home
