Write an OS from scratch

(Here is the link - didn't quite get the image/link combo right in the original post!). I'm writing a series of posts about coding your own operating system. After reading Operating Systems: From 0 to 1 I found that some of the code does not work, so this first post walks you through writing a bootloader similar to that of chapter 7. It also adds some context that I would have found useful when I originally read the book, such as how 16-bit real mode works and some assembly programming information. I'm hoping to take a different approach to posts in the series by borrowing pieces of other operating systems and discussing how they are implemented in an effort to keep things simple and focus on fundamentals (even Linus started out with a detailed reading of MINIX).

Very quickly skimming through the various chapters, it appears that this is gentle introduction as attention has been made on clear and verbose explanations, supplemented with diagrams. Comparable other "courses" could be osdev101 [1] and "Writing an operating system from scratch" [2].

You need to be aware of how it works on a hardware level but probably not an expert, for a better explanation see: https://github.com/tuhdo/os01

Operating Systems from 0 to 1

In the days before "google it" was a synonym for "find it", we had different curated link sites, and even pyhsical magazines with hand-curated lists of links that people interested in a certain topic might find interesting. This still exists today in some forms, for example the "awesome lists" that you see for some programming topics, for example https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome .

Just like there was a time when 90%-99% of all email traffic was viagra spam, I imagine in the future most of the internet by volume will be AI-generated trash, and those in the know will still circulate lists of where the other 1% can be found.

An even brighter scenario is that someone, maybe a kid tinkering in their garage, figures out how to make a search engine that finds the good stuff, doesn't immediately die to AI bot farms' SEO efforts, and is financially viable.

I'm just going to leave this here: awesome git repo

You don't need any particular requirement to consult issues section on GitHub. If you need a place to follow along this post, my chosen repository for today's blog post is Awesome.

I have an awesome list GitHub repository that needs a few icons & a banner made. I was wondering if any students in graphic design would be willing to commission a few for me? I'm willing to pay either hourly, or by the project and can pay cash or venmo. Note that the art will end up as CC0, so you'd essentially be waiving any right to the artwork.

yah, come to think of it in the curated space, this reminds me of that awesome X family of github pages. Looks like someone compiled a bunch of them here https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome#databases. I have found those to be highly valuable treasure troves pregnant with rich and relevant information.
