Amazing how we've come full circle. Type II hypervisors treat VM guests as processes, so is it any wonder we've developed ways to develop them as processes? A paravirtualized VM is just a process with a different (and arguably better) system call interface.

The distinction started with rings of protection which was orthogonal to processes. Roger Schell said the guy who designed the one for Intel’s 286 had security kernels like GEMSOS in mind. Here’s GEMSOS and STOP so you can see how they did that back in the 1980’s:

What's with the recommendation for a YouTube MP3 converter near the bottom? There seems to be no technological relation so I can only guess the author got paid to include it, but you're legally supposed to disclose if something is a paid ad

Is that a legal requirement where the owner of that website is?

I agree with you, that ad is placed in a odd place. It looks so out of place, I would believe it was copy-pasted there by mistake, if it weren't for the HTML link.

Oh this is wildly cool! Do cloud providers like aws allow you to upload a custom system image to run as a vm?

My information is probably out of date but historically yes. Also historically operating systems other than Linux were pretty iffy.

I know you can run BSD on AWS for example.

The members seem to mostly be from Norway and Norway has a law against "hidden" advertising, which I believe applies here.

according to wayback machine the domain expired at the end of 2021. Months later it came back with the sneaky ad. Their page at github https://includeos.github.io/ does not have it. It is safe to assume whoever grabbed the domain has no association to the authors.

Project has been dead for many years now btw.

We are indeed Norwegian! The domain is owned by a squatter now. He wants EUR 3000 to release it back to us. It's simply too much right now. So, I wish that this HN post could change from the squatter URL to GitHub instead.
