I wrote a response but it is too long (11019 bytes is too long, apparently). (I have saved a copy on my computer, so that I may post it later (fully or partially).)
But, I have commented about most of the article, and about my own ideas of operating system design (which is capability-based); there are some similarities, but many things are done differently. However, some of the functionality they describe would be possible with how my ideas are doing, too.
- joshmarinacci 2y agoI’d love to hear about it.
- zzo38computer 2y agoMost of my notes about operating system design are in paper, and in disorganized files in computer (some of which have not been updated from my changed ideas), I have written some on Hacker News as well, such as: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40651272 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40651272 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40676995 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40676995 (I had also written some on Usenet, and also on IRC.) Perhaps I could set up a NNTP for discussion, that work can be made to write the specifications (which can be changed as the actual implementation is made, in case that reveals problems with the specifications), and to discuss implementations.
- Aerbil313 2y agoIs it possible you send me an email?
- zzo38computer 2y agoI could, but I would prefer not to. Public communication would be preferable, such as by using NNTP. (I may set up a NNTP for this; I have a NNTP server set up already and can easily add a newsgroup.)
- zzo38computer 2y agoNow I have set up a NNTP: nntp://zzo38computer.org/un2.org.zzo38computer.osdesign (at the time of this writing, there are no messages there; I may add one later, but anyone else also may do so)
- lproven 2y agoThunderbird chokes on this.
- zzo38computer 2y agoIt works with Lynx. I don't know what is the problem with Thunderbird, but I added an article in case it doesn't work for newsgroups that do not already have an article. If you are getting a specific error message, what it is?
- lproven 2y agoNearly a week and no reply. I do not understand your motivations here: inventing new Internet protocols, apparently intentionally misusing terminology, etc. ("I set up a NNTP" makes no more sense than "here, try to connect over brown": NNTP is a protocol and the normal usage is to set up a news server over which one communicates via a news client over NNTP.) Maybe this is meant to be funny, or sarcastic/ironic, or performance art, or something else; I can't tell. What it is not is helpful, informative, or clear.

- WinnieRallycar 2y agoSounds like you should make a blog post!
- zzo38computer 2y agoActually I had done: scorpion://zzo38computer.org/blog/c_OPERATING_SYSTEM_DESIGN.scorp (I may write more later, too)
- lproven 2y agoWhat format and URL scheme is that? I've never seen this before in 39 years on the Internet.
- zzo38computer 2y agoIt is a more recent one (made up from criticism of Gemini protocol/file-format, as well as criticism of WWW). (Simple explanation: Use port 1517. Send R and then a space and then the full URL and then carriage return and line feed.) The file format is a binary format, although there is also a plain text file describing the protocol and file format at: scorpion://zzo38computer.org/specification.txt
- lproven 2y agoThis is the opposite of helpful. What can connect to it? How do I use it? If I need to implement my own protocol, then the answer is "no" followed by "what are you on?"
- zzo38computer 2y agoI wrote a "astroget" program which can download the file (and supports several protocols, including Gemini, Gopher, Spartan, HTTP, etc). It is also possible to use netcat. The program to display the file is not yet written, as far as I know. However, the specification file is plain text file, in order to ensure that you can read it without needing to implement it at first.
