Project Description
I want to extend my PoC at https://github.com/bmwiedemann/opensuse-redir-cache to provide efficient package downloads to zypper without extra support from the download.o.o server.
Goal for this Hackweek
I will ignore the caching part (because nginx can already do that) and concentrate on the redir logic, tracking mirror perfomance.

pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola
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.
