Crisped on the outside, thoughtful enough on the inside.
Summary
A developer shares their achievement of getting a web server running on their hobby operating system called RetrOS-32. After a long break from the project, they returned to complete the networking stack (Ethernet, IP, ARP, UDP, TCP, DHCP, DNS) and successfully implemented HTTP support, marking an important milestone in their personal operating system development project.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledAfter a long break from working on my hobby operating system, I finally got back into it and finished a very important milestone: a working web server.
Networking was always integral to my hobby project. The first goal was getting the basic networking stack working: Ethernet, IP, ARP, UDP, TCP, DHCP and DNS.

This led to my first break from the project.
