       (se)L4 I think fits such criteria? It is already widely deployed (e.g. Apple's Secure Enclave).Problematically? I don't think any of the L4 kernels were "self hosting" last I checked? Maybe that has changed.BS such as that, would have received failing grades in the 1980s.Alas, we live in a different era now, where cross compiling is de rigueur even if it is awful in practice.If I had a wish granting fairy or whatever? I would totally task someone(s) to make the L4 microkernel family self-hosting, so it doesn't need a Linux to boot strap.CC: @cwebber@social.coop

       Preach.I've also encountered a text entering latency issue with Safari Technology preview release 243, where I will be typing and then SECONDS will pass, with no text input. Not buffered either, just key strokes are completely ignored.I filed Feedback.I thought maybe it was fixed in Release 244 (WebKit 22625.1.17.19.1)? Yet exploring that more and encountering the same bug this morning, confirmed it's still there. So friggin annoying.Good thing I have other browsers!

       Indeed, a release Safari does not exhibit such issues.I do dev work too; for example:/usr/bin/openssl versionLibreSSL 3.3.6(released: March 15th, 2022)Whereas:/opt/local/bin/openssl versionLibreSSL 4.3.2(released May 25th, 2026; and I updated the MacPort for that the same day, since I am one of the MacPorts' maintainers of libressl [and libressl-devel]).For years now, I've mostly observed my Feedback to Apple, go ignored. It's not as if they weren't made aware of the issues I encountered with the 243 Safari Technology Preview release; but they certainly didn't seem to integrate any meaningful fix with 244. I updated the Feedback. Given their past history of ignoring me? I am guessing they'll keep doing so. If they keep ignoring me? Fine. If that makes it into the next Safari release though? It's on them, not me. Maybe, someone is better at rattling their cage than I have ever been. Hopefully!Addendum: something about: "I mean, you're doing that to yourself, using a tech preview. " really rubs me the wrong way.I mean, I understand what you are attempting to convey.The entire reason I have an ADC account, is because I am grandfathered into one thanks to Webkit being libre/free open source software.If it were meaningfully libre/free open source software, I would just be building it from source myself; and doubtlessly seeing what issues they introduced and even filing Pull Requests to rectify them, as I tend to do with other actually libre/free open source software to which I have contributed to for decades.I guess it's "nice" to have the grandfathered ADC account?Being ignored, never feels nice.Having you double down, by suggesting that it's my own fault, when I am ostensibly: testing newer software to help remediate issues before others encounter them at large? Kinda, stinks.With regards to design decisions, sure, whatever. I was a fan of the Commodore Amiga and Workbench and despite using a Macintosh since the first one released in 1984? I think they're ostensibly: horrible. The best thing to happen to Apple was OS X (macOS/whatever) which was basically: a mach microkernel (and not a very good microkernel at that) and a BSD userland. Like, "yay" by the 21st century, Apple "caught up" to 1970s UNIX roots? smdh.As others have said elsewhere the Amiga was "from the future" with its pre-emptively multitasking microkernel et al. Lamentably, we still seem profoundly stuck in the past when it comes to computational and operating system paradigms, and the popularity of Linux, just seems to be doubling down on the 1970s' monolithic kernel UNIX choice being stuck with us for the foreseeable future.So, whatever the UI choices you dislike in Tahoe? I maybe noticed them and they're probably also bad, but their whole thing is bad. I stick to Terminal.app and CLI stuff and a browser and avoid almost everything else Apple touches; it feels as if it infested the world of computing and only is better compared to even worse things such as MS-DOS and Windows, which were never a high bar to surpass, quite the opposite.I guess, I can be gracious and posit that at least iOS has an L4 micokernel somewhere (in the Secure Enclave apparently?) and that's at least an improvement over mach? Yet: iOS didn't even have copy and paste for YEARS and many releases. Copy and paste: existed in WYSIWYG GUI interfaces with network based collaborative editing: in the 1960s.How the HELL did Apple omit that, with their "new" OS?Worse: Microsoft copied that with Windows Mobile, omitting copy and paste, even though Windows CE had such things, years earlier.It's like watching the blind leading the blind and the morons keep giving them money and attention?!It's so upsetting.
