Darko Jurić documents bare-metal systems work, from bootloaders and kernels to JavaScript object detection and machine-learning implementations from scratch.

Why it surfaced

The standout project is a 100 KiB operating system that runs Doom, documented through the bootloader, kernel, graphics, interrupts, UI, and real-hardware stages. Elsewhere, the site records 11,700 lines of systems work, two-second builds, and object detection running at 100 FPS in 120 lines of JavaScript.

The Song Resumes After the Story

August 19’s newborn domains include a Hawaiʻi road-trip radio that resumes each song after a GPS-triggered story, an offline Chattanooga recovery map, a 100 KiB operating system running Doom, and an archive of 169,588 Discord roleplay messages.
