Project Description

Lesser on the coding side but to follow up on a past fun project: the Party Geeko Party Geeko insists since Hackweek 18 and is in good company with the other party guests.

Now I'll make an attempt to teach the Linux Tux Linux Tux how to party as well and join parrot, geeko and the rest of the gang.

Hackweek goals

  • teach Tux to party by converting the static Tux image into an emoji-like animated gif
  • add the typical Party Parrot colors
  • artifacts should go into GitHub and finally contributed upstream

Resources

  • Gimp and friends
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_(mascot) (one of the pics from there)
  • https://github.com/rsimai/hackweek23 (my repo)
  • https://github.com/jmhobbs/cultofthepartyparrot.com (the Parrot's upstream repo)

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      I used Gimp to modify the original Tux, iWarp is a cool feature. Have my Party Tux Party Tux ready :-)

      and it's merged, see the guest section on the parrot's page. I guess I'll close this project.

    Description

    As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:

    • The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
    • The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
    • We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
    • The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.

    The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, pidfs, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.

    I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.

    Goals

    • Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
    • Most importantly: have fun.
