I'm utterly disgusted by my vfs code, but it works (barely) and I can create and write files

I accidentally ported node.js to Sortix. It's extremely unstable but the most basic uses actually work.

How long have you been working on Sortix? It looks absolutely insane to me that anyone was able to do that

managarm can now handle multitouch - as tested with USB passthrough (for screenshotting purposes) on my ThinkPad:

Coming soon to a PR near you!

Managarm also just turned 10 years old. I'm glad that it now has a lot of active contributors. 10 years ago when I started the project together with a friend of mine I wouldn't have imagined that we'd get to a point where we can receive multitouch input events from a laptop touchscreen and visualize them using a JavaScript application that runs in a browser (WebKitGTK in this case). Great work by everyone involved!

Progress update on NexNix. Things has progressed fairly slowly over the past year, but now I've reached the pre-multitasking milestone. Currently it consists of a complete bootloader that has a basic scripting language, BIOS/EFI support, multi-platform support, and quite a bit more. The kernel also features a WIP memory manager that is heavily inspired off of Mach and UVM, a slab allocator that's almost a complete implementation of the original Bonwick paper, support for proper resource management, tickless event support, support for most PC hardware that's relevant to a microkernel, including things like invariant TSC, HPET, ACPI, APIC, etc, support for any 386+ CPU, and an interrupt manager with proper prioritization, proper support for interrupt chaining, and other features too. Next up is multitasking!

I got to userspace today for the first time, not just in this kernel but in all the attempts I've ever had in making one. So much has to go right up to this point, and that has me very excited.

Next up, I might work on actual ELF loading, followed by better syscall support and at least rudamentary support for multitasking.
