thinking of switching from our ulib to mlibc or newlib in #xv7.

Think about dropping our ulib in favour of another library.

Currently, I think our current ulib is an unnecessary pain for porting software and we're basically forced to write our own C library ourselves. Switching to something like mlibc from Managarm or even maybe musl if possible would be a step in the right direction. I know xv6 was built originall...

maybe I should see if porting #EVi to my #xv6 fork (BSD/xv7) is possible...

Today the #osdev_notes project has reached the milestone of 1000 stars on github. It started as personal set of notes, and honestly I would have never expected it to become so big, with 2 main authors, a total of 31 contributors.
I just want to thank everyone who contributed, with corrections, new contents or buying physical copies.
Here a short #kofi post I made: https://ko-fi.com/post/Another-important-milestone-for-the-Osdev-Notes-pr-V7V71WC852
The project is available here: https://github.com/dreamportdev/Osdev-Notes/

After working on uxnfloppy for so long, I knew that I had to try writing an emulator for UEFI (the modern replacement for BIOS) at some point. Turns out that using clang and C is much easier than learning and writing 16bit assembly and doing software archeology, who could have known :p

I present to you 'uxnefi', a cobbled together UEFI application using the core of uxn2 (by @neauoire & @alderwick ) that can print stuff. Here is primes.rom:
