Collapse OS, an open source operating system for the apocalypse, the darkest days of mankind

The world now has more and more nuclear weapons and climate disasters. Many people believe that this world will gradually sink into apocalypse in the near future. One of them is the software developer Virgil Dupras. This guy created an open source operating system called Collapse OS to use exclusively for the darkest days of mankind.

According to Dupras, Collapse OS is something that people will need in the future, after the end of the world, to reconfigure the collected iPhones.

In the email, Dupras wrote: 'I think the end of the world is real and I do this to minimize risk. Not sure what will happen but what I do is enough to guarantee a small effort. "

Dupras envisions that by 2030, a world with supply chains around the globe will collapse. In this hypothetical future, mass production of electronics is impossible, but people still have enormous political and social power. If someone could pick up electronics and reprogram it, it would have an advantage over others.

According to Dupras, in the post-apocalyptic era, those who understand technology will have problems with microcontroller (microcontroller) to control the functions of the computer system. Meanwhile, the computer after a few decades will be broken, can not program microcontrollers anymore. So, to avoid this from happening, we need a system that is designed from the collection and microcontroller programming.

Collapse OS will work on 8-bit Z80 processors, used in many machines such as desktops, cash registers, musical instruments, graphing calculators, etc. This will help people in the period. posterity of the apocalypse is easier to find.

Collapse OS can now be run on a home computer called RC2014 based on the Z80 platform, and on the Sega Genesis console.

Now, Dupras has put this project on GitHub with the desire to have more partners. He said he could complete the project himself, but it would be more fun to work with many other developers. People who want to participate in this project must have faith in the goal (will happen the end of the world) and have the skills of electronic assembly and z80.
