This has been posted a few times in the past month and a half. What's new in the latest version? Also, how does this compare to Transmit?

I'm not the OP but I use a 2008 Mac Pro: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-eig... 8 cores, 32GB of RAM, 4 SATA drive slots - found it used for only $400 CAD.

A 2010 or newer Mac Pro would allow you to run the latest macOS version.

Can we get an alternate method for the signup process? My children who have devices don't have Google accounts.

The colors look a bit off from the video but the text is in there correctly.

This article highlights the goals for BareMetal OS (https://github.com/ReturnInfinity/BareMetal-OS) - let the app do the heavy lifting.
Is it time to ditch the "normal" OS? My startup is looking to do exactly that but I would like to know what others thoughts are on the matter.

My proposal is to have a small exokernel between the hardware and the application. The exokernel is there to provide very simple access to the hardware (like the disk or network) and will rely on the application to do anything complicated (like handling TCP/IP).

Re:ODA - Online Disassembler on Wednesday January 16, 2013 @10:04AM (#5067065)
The site barfs when I upload the BareMetal OS kernel for disassembly. Is there a size limit? The kernel is x86-64 and only 16KiB in size.
Re:Take Over The Galaxy with GitHub (DCPU16 support) on Tuesday April 10, 2012 @07:21PM (#3825018)
While its great the GitHub added support for this how about x86-64?

https://github.com/ReturnInfinity/BareMetal-OS/blob/master/o...

The 64-bit register names are still not handled correctly. It does properly color the 8, 16, and 32-bit register names.

Agreed on the overkill part. That is the reasoning behind the work we are doing. I sent you an email to discuss further.
This is very interesting! It will be even more interesting to see if it can be compiled to run on my OS. This is exatly the kind of application I have been looking for. ESXi is too big :)

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

Looking for someone to write a TCP stack for BareMetal OS. This needs to be written in x86-64 Assembly. See the posting here: http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24471

Re:Smallest x86 ELF Hello World on Tuesday October 11, 2011 @02:40PM (#3099771)
How about 31 bytes?

Why use ELF or Linux? Flat binaries (and a custom OS) to the rescue! :)

SEEKING FREELANCER - HTML & CSS, maybe C as well.

Looking for someone to potentially make our WebGUI look "sexy" as our colleagues in California would say. We have reached the limits of our HTML and CSS know-how.

The current WebGUI can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y5tUtx63Tc
