How to create an OS from scratch

My dude. Your functions have exactly the same names as his. Copying it from a different tutorial based on James Molloy's tutorial does not make it any less James Molloy's code.

I started out with this tutorial: https://github.com/cfenollosa/os-tutorial. It doesn't get you too far but it explains the basics very well, so check it out. After that I looked up James Molloy's kernel tutorials (look it up on Google, it's all on a website). Be advised that he's got a bunch of errors and bugs in the tutorial, there is a whole page on it on the osdev wiki titled known bugs in the JamesM kernel all something like that, but it's still great and gets you pretty far. After that, I chose to develop a FAT32 driver on my own, I can link some sources or my own code for you as well, but it's really up to you to follow what you like. I also found a great youtube series (https://youtube.com/@poncho2364?feature=share9), check out his osdev series, he also has some cool stuff there. And as I said, good luck on your journey and you can ask me in a DM as well if you get stuck somewhere!

Yeah, I'm following cfenollosa's OS tutorial for guidance. You mentioned that you've seen the same code, with the same bug? What was the solution there?

hey, just in case you actually want to write an operating system, you should check out cfenollosa/os-tutorial: How to create an OS from scratch, it is an amazing tutorial that will get you from basic printing all the way to a command line interface!

You might be able to sink your teeth into something like this if you're interested in real os development, haven't got far myself but it's fun and you'll learn a lot https://github.com/cfenollosa/os-tutorial

So I made a 16-bit x86 toy OS in pure assembly. 3 months ago, I found a very fun tutorial on github that is about Operating system development. I read the first few chapter and from there I made a very simple, extensible (?) toy operating system that could run on hardware (yes, it is madness).

I don't see why we are a long way away. At the sandstorm end, we need to get to the point, where all updates (of both sandstorm and the apps) on the user machine are automatic. Much like they are automatic on various OSes (mobile OSes in particular but also MacOS/Windows). This is not impossible if a single OS like Debian-testing is targeted.

Mailinabox [1] almost does it. They target Ubuntu stable, and upgrades are mostly silent. But they needed user intervention when Ubuntu had to be upgraded from 18.10 to 22.04, which was quite challenging.

If sandstorm can get there, then putting it into a RPi box is simple. What's difficult is helping the general public understand the importance of protecting their data, so such a product has a reasonable market.

If you have a better solution, for example a good provider who offer agency packages which allows many domains and there is no catch, for example very small disk space, then hit me right away. Otherwise, please share your experience with hosting your own mail service. I found https://mailinabox.email/ and https://www.iredmail.org/ for example, but never had any experience with neither of them.

mailinabox.email works great on a basic vps.
