mikalv··on Building the XNU kernel on macOS Sierra
I think I managed to fix it :)

I've been playing a bit around with L4 kernels and some more of Minix 3 from before. Genode seems nice but never had the opportunity to test it yet.

The rest was all new for me, thanks for the information :)

Hahaha, yes I just found out my own comany's firewall does the same. I suspect it's the hex domain :)

Online services says it's clean and I know how to secure my own webserver/services :) https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/0xcc.re

Never heard of Kdrive, thanks for the tip! I will check it out for sure.

Fully aware of it, but I prefers the custom (e.g awesomewm and fluxbox), my problem is just that I don't have time for all that fun anymore :)

Thanks, but I actually talked with the people in the project a few years back, and have on my todo list to do it again soon :)

Haha, well it's not only X11, but it's one of the main reasons. Other reasons are that for my usage and work, it just "works", no hours of configuration in dotfiles. Also it's convenient as a cross platform developer, since I can just crosscompile to Linux and Windows(mingw) via Docker. However, without the Mac, you'll have to break some licenses with a hackintosh. I think the project is cool, but in work related situations I can't do that because of legal reasons.

This also reminds me about a cool project I've found, but not had time to test yet; https://github.com/shinh/maloader

Sorry about that, the theme will improve. CSS isn't my great side.

Yea, I got surprised they didn't have more documentation, at least updated.

Yea personally I'm mostly fascinated with the semi microkernel architecture. I don't really mind that the rest is closed. And yea, I've suspected they lost some good people after seeing all the new security issues in the kernel the past years.

If only wayland was more mature, and the Linux world would have put down X11 once and for all, I would be back on Linux a long time ago :)
