My little toy operating system from last year runs in 16-bit Real Mode (like DOS). Since I’ve recently figured out how to switch to 64-bit Long Mode right after BIOS boot, I now have a little program that performs this switch on my toy OS. It will load and run any x86-64 program, assuming it’s freestanding, a flat binary, and small enough (< 128 KiB code, only uses the first 2 MiB of memory).
Here I’m running a little C program (compiled using normal GCC, no Watcom trickery):
https://movq.de/v/b27ced6dcb/los86%2D64.mp4
Next steps could include:
- Use Rust instead of C for that 64-bit program?
- Provide interrupt service routines. (At the moment, it just keeps interrupts disabled.)

Compared to only 3 new artworks in 2024 and next to no work, on other projects, this year I not only met the self-imposed goal of monthly pixelart, but exceeded it by 50%, with 18 additions in total.
Relicensed the majority of canine faction owned art and projects, under two less restrictive Creative Commons licensees*. This also applies retroactively, to everyone who used/archived our art and projects, back when the old license didn’t allow it.
Disappointed by the current state of the Internet and continued lack of competition among browsers, completely reworked the main website* and made Smol Drive** (a new image gallery project), both made to be compatible with as many web and Gemini browsers, as possible.

“Lamento informar o falecimento do matemático catalão Claudi Alsina (1952-2025), foi dos maiores popularizadores da Matemática da España e do mundo. Alsina conhecido por seu humor refinado tinha uma vasta cultura, doutorou-se em Matemática pela Universidade de Barcelona e ao longo de sua vida acadêmica aproximou a Matemática de outras áreas do conhecimento, em especial a Arquitetura e o Design, fez parte da equipe que estudou os projetos de Gaudí para a reconstrução da Sagrada Família de Barcelona. Alsina era professor catedrático Universidade Politécnica da Catalunha, onde se aposentou, autor de mais de 50 livros sobre Matemática Recreativa, Cultura Matemática, Matemática para o Ensino Superior e para a Formação de Professores.
Sou “bi-neto acadêmico” de Alsina que foi orientador de meus orientadores (de doutorado) e desde que o conheci há cerca de 30 anos tenho me inspirado em seu trabalho.
Para quem sabe do que estou falando, Alsina tinha número de Erdős = 2.”
