Building a Racket Based Operating System

EDIT : 0x22D2 : Fri Sep 27 03:51:30 PM IST 2024

  • I’m thinking I’ll proceed in common lisp
  • do read on for amusement though

As of 0x22CE (Mon Sep 23 06:48:40 AM IST 2024), These are the operating systems I’ve used:

  • Open Suse TumbleWeed
  • Fedora, CentOs, Rocky
  • Debian, Ubuntu, Kali
  • Arch
  • Windows XP,Vista,7,10,11

I recently moved away from Fedora 40 to Tumbleweed (I deleted some core python libraries that are essential for yum and dnf (I know, I’m an idiot))…

Thinkpad X13 Gen 4 AMD Ryzen Pro 7840U & Workflow Review

I recently shifted my operations to a thinkpad x13g4amd (Ryzen 7840U + 780M Radeon) and am using this transfer as an opportunity to realize and improve my work related habits.

GNU/Linux

All of my pipelines are based around Linux and the core GNU utils. I had to use windows for a while due to org-wide constraints but I’ve recently been given the signal to shift to linux.

I rarely used any windows native tools for my workflows and there was always a layer of linux emulation/virtualization (wsl, scoop, and the likes) upon which I conducted my usual operations. Given I use Debian at home, a non native linux experience was frustrating at best and depressing at worst. No more, do I have to confine myself.

Python like a Spartan

I’m an AI Research Engineer and that involves messing around a little with python. I’ve spent the past 4 years perfecting a disciplined, minimal, but enabling setup.

This is a tour of my trusty set of tools, in the hopes that it will help you find the same CLI zen that I’ve been enjoying for a while now.

Tmux : towards an Eternal Shell

tmux

I start my work sessions off by ssh’ing into my remote compute cluster.
