  6. ravynos

    A BSD-based OS project that aims to provide source and binary compatibility with macOS® and a similar user experience.

    Project mention: FreeBSD: How Can We Make It More Attractive to New Users? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-12

    Another angle to look at this is ravynOS, a desktop OS that could attract people interested in MacOS. The project is based on FreeBSD and has lots of customization to provide a familiar desktop experience. While the main site hasn't been updated for a while, the GitHub has a release from this year.

    Project mention: Introducing TUISIC: TUI Music Streaming App. | dev.to | 2025-01-19

    Visualization like cava

  8. stress-ng

    This is the stress-ng upstream project git repository. stress-ng will stress test a computer system in various selectable ways. It was designed to exercise various physical subsystems of a computer as well as the various operating system kernel interfaces.

    Project mention: How to Reproduce Kubernetes Node-pressure Eviction Locally | dev.to | 2024-08-15

    Next, we need to perform a memory stress test on the node where the head pod is located. After some Googling, I found that stress-ng is commonly used for this purpose, so Ill use it as well. We need to ensure that the head pod has stress-ng available. The simplest way is to copy the statically compiled stress-ng binary directly into the head pod, so we don't have to worry about the head pod's base image or any missing dependencies. As for obtaining the statically compiled binary, you can compile it yourself, but I took a shortcut by copying it from a Docker image that includes the binary. Assuming the head pod is named raycluster-kuberay-head-ldg9f.

  19. mg

  20. krf

    A kernelspace syscall interceptor and randomized faulter

    Project mention: Consistently Making Wrong Decisions Whilst Writing Recreational C | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-24

    Nice writeup! One limitation to this approach is that the fault injections happen at the dynamic linkage to libc layer, meaning that an enterprising student who either statically links their binary or invokes syscalls directly will circumvent the interposed functions. But in a teaching setting I could imagine this isn’t a practical concern :-)

    (I built a similar tool[1] a few years ago, but at the syscall layer to ensure that statically linked binaries could also have faults injected into it reliably. My colleagues used it to find a handful of bugs on prominent Go codebases.)
