🔥🚀 Oh, behold! Yet another heroic attempt to revive the ancient relics of *vintage* PCs with #GentleOS. Because, clearly, the world desperately needs more hobby OSes to *not* run Fortnite on your grandma's dusty 486. 🙄💾

🤖🎉 Look out, world! Another brave soul has achieved the Herculean task of running a C++ web server on their ultra-exclusive hobby OS that precisely three people will use. 🌐🥳 But don't worry, it only took a minor eternity and a GitHub repo no one will clone. 🙈🙌

🎉 Behold the triumphant saga of a hobby OS finally staggering onto an ancient ThinkPad! 🕰️ All hail the retro computing overlord who brings #multitasking to a machine that barely outpaces a pocket calculator. 🤖✨ Meanwhile, GitHub Copilot silently weeps in the corner, wondering if it can automate the #nostalgia.

An Elf Odissey! #dreamos64 I recently added support for basic ELFs in my hobby #kernel but, it required me to dig into some very obscure issues caused by some changes in llvm and their linker.

Basically the introduction of large sections in #llvm broke the grub image, and caused more problems to my kernel.

I posted all the details of my debug process in my free #kofi post here: https://ko-fi.com/post/Finally-Dreamos64-is-officially-running-an-ELF-Exe-B0B41AYZW0
