Redox gets new CPU scheduler

Another major improvement in Redox: a brand new scheduler which improves performance under load considerably.

We have replaced the legacy Round Robin scheduler with a Deficit Weighted Round Robin scheduler. Due to this, we finally have a way of assigning different priorities to our Process contexts. When running under light load, you may not notice any difference, but under

Redox OS Introducing New CPU Scheduler For ~1.5x Performance In Heavy Tasks

The Rust-based Redox OS operating system is preparing to land a new CPU scheduler thanks to work being carried out by open-source developer Akshit Gaur on modernizing the platform's process scheduling subsystem.

🚀 nowości w projekcie #RedoxOS https://redox-os.org/news/

To w sumie jest pierwszy system napisany w RUST , obserwuje go od 2 lat rośnie, może w końcu da się go uruchomić w wirtualce

Istnieją też inne projekty "Rust-only":
#TheseusOS: Eksperymentalny system badający nowe sposoby działania struktur OS.
#Kerla: Jądro systemu napisane w Rust, które próbuje być kompatybilne z binariami Linuxa.
#Tock: System operacyjny czasu rzeczywistego (RTOS) dla internetu rzeczy (IoT) – również w całości w #Rust.

Capability-based security for Redox: namespace and CWD as capabilities

By reimplementing these features using capabilities, we made the kernel simpler by moving complex scheme and namespace management out of it which improved security and stability by reducing the attack surface and possible bugs. At the same time, we gained a means to support more sandboxing feature

Redox bans code regurgitated by “AI”

Redox, the rapidly improving general purpose operating system written in Rust, has amended its contribution policy to explicitly ban code regurgitated by "AI".

Redox OS does not accept contributions generated by LLMs (Large Language Models), sometimes also referred to as "AI". This policy is not open to discussion, any content submitted that is clearly labe

Redox bans code regurgitated by “AI” – OSnews

🎉 Redox OS, the hipster operating system nobody asked for, is now proudly enforcing a Certificate of Origin and banning LLMs like it's the 1990s! 🚫📜 Because nothing says "cutting-edge" quite like retro bureaucracy and a firm stance against those pesky large language models. 😏💻

For example, @redox is demonstrating how this is done practically.

No AI generated code permitted, and attempts to bypass will result in a ban. Clear and straightforward.

FosseryWeb progress report:
All Java cheatsheet pages are now generated using the new page-builders tool, to make the code more consistent, and also to test the tool, discover bugs, edge cases. HTML, CSS and JavaScript cheatsheets will also be regenerated, although the CSS ones have a bit more "unique" elements like images, figures consisting of HTML and CSS code, etc., will see if I can make those be generated with the tool, or if they will still require manual work.
