    Unix like OS in 6502 assembly? Dang. I'm impressed. That's seriously cool.

    But theoretically not that difficult? I mean, the whole point of Unix was that it is written in C and therefore platform-independent. Principally, all you need to port a POSIX Unix OS is a C compiler for the architecture that you're targeting.

    Well. Linux on the Dreamcast seems more interesting. Or NetBSD.

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    This is pretty cool but looking back in his uploads the logitech reciever talk was even better. If i ever stop procrastinating and build a custom keyboard i may try using it.
