GRU Devlog 26 - new server, oircd, orion rewrite

February 06, 2022 — G1n

This 2 weeks were long for me. Previous week chunk donated domain and server for us so now this blog and webpage is avalible on https://gruos.org. Also i setupped mail there and tryed to setup irc network, but we don’t have services yet.

Also previous week I tryed to make hashmap and some other things for oIRCd, but it wasn’t really success.

This week i started developing Orion rewrite. It already has interrupts working and enabled paging. For now I don’t know how to make timer and keyboard working. Currently I am trying to write page frame allocator, it will open road to proper memory manager for us. I hope next few weeks I will focus on Orion.

Hope you liked this post! If you would like to help us, contact me via email, xmpp or irc :)

GRU Devlog 25 - occ, oircd

January 23, 2022 — G1n

So I decided to make this devlog every two weeks. Why? Because I joined ircnow and can be a bit busy because of school.

Previous week I was trying to make add working in occ. I haven’t done it, because I didn’t understood how to make it in proper abstract syntax tree. I don’t want publish it until I will make it done.

In the end of that week I joined ircnow and got a lot of cool admin expirience and I hope it will help me with GRU. Now I am part of the team, but for more info check post on my own blog.

This week I started developing own irc daemon. I have own server now, so i test it there. Currently it is able to handle simple NICK and USER commands. I tryed to setup PRIVMSG, but got it working only with one user (when privmsg to someone, user “server” replies to you). Currently trying to make it in proper way (maybe will use dictionaries, I don’t know yet).

Also maybe I will move our xmpp muc or any other things to my own server.
