Ah, yes, the riveting tale of Unix-like OS enthusiasts and their quest for... π cute kittens? Because nothing screams "adorable" like porting BSD code for ancient computers. π Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here wondering if these "OpenBSD Stories" are just a cry for help disguised as
#nostalgia. π

Someone thought it was a great idea to cram a "Unix-like" OS into an
#Arduino UNO's 2KB of RAM π€‘, because, clearly, the world needed yet another way to make an underpowered gadget suffer. ππΎ Who knew masochism could be so...tiny? π

Itβs been two years since I started working as a software engineer. I sometimes tell my colleagues about a student project I did in my junior year of university, and itβs so well-received that Iβm writing this post. 1
Now, let me ask you a question. Have you ever designed your own ISA, built a processor of that ISA on FPGA, and built a compiler for it? Furthermore, have you run an operating system on that processor? Actually, we have.
