Understanding the Boot Process in Linux

                    Six Stages of Linux Boot Process

Press the power button on your system, and after few moments you see the Linux login prompt.

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes from the time you press the power button until the Linux login prompt appears?

The following are the 6 high level stages of a typical Linux boot process.

                             BIOS        Basic Input/Output System

                             MBR        Master Boot Record executes GRUB

                             GRUB      Grand Unified Boot Loader Executes Kernel

                             Kernel      Kernel executes /sbin/init

                             Init            init executes runlevel programs

                             Runlevel   Runlevel programs are executed from /etc/rc.d/rc*.d/

1. BIOS

BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System

Performs some system integrity checks

Searches, loads, and executes the boot loader program.

It looks for boot loader in floppy, cd-rom, or hard drive. You can press a key (typically F12 of F2, but it depends on your system) during the BIOS startup to change the boot sequence.

Once the boot loader program is detected and loaded into the memory, BIOS gives the control to it.

So, in simple terms BIOS loads and executes the MBR boot loader.

2. MBR

MBR stands for Master Boot Record.

It is located in the 1st sector of the bootable disk. Typically /dev/hda, or /dev/sda

MBR is less than 512 bytes in size. This has three components 1) primary boot loader info in 1st 446 bytes 2) partition table info in next 64 bytes 3) mbr validation check in last 2 bytes.

It contains information about GRUB (or LILO in old systems).

So, in simple terms MBR loads and executes the GRUB boot loader.

3. GRUB

GRUB stands for Grand Unified Bootloader.

If you have multiple kernel images installed on your system, you can choose which one to be executed.

GRUB displays a splash screen, waits for few seconds, if you don’t enter anything, it loads the default kernel image as specified in the grub configuration file.

GRUB has the knowledge of the filesystem (the older Linux loader LILO didn’t understand filesystem).

Grub configuration file is /boot/grub/grub.conf (/etc/grub.conf is a link to this). The following is sample grub.conf of CentOS.

#boot=/dev/sda

default=0

timeout=5

splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

hiddenmenu

title CentOS (2.6.18-194.el5PAE)

          root (hd0,0)

          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/

          initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.el5PAE.img

As you notice from the above info, it contains kernel and initrd image.

So, in simple terms GRUB just loads and executes Kernel and initrd images.

4. Kernel

Mounts the root file system as specified in the “root=” in grub.conf

Kernel executes the /sbin/init program

Since init was the 1st program to be executed by Linux Kernel, it has the process id (PID) of 1. Do a ‘ps -ef | grep init’ and check the pid.

initrd stands for Initial RAM Disk.

initrd is used by kernel as temporary root file system until kernel is booted and the real root file system is mounted. It also contains necessary drivers compiled inside, which helps it to access the hard drive partitions, and other hardware.

5. Init

Looks at the /etc/inittab file to decide the Linux run level.

Following are the available run levels

0 – halt

1 – Single user mode

2 – Multiuser, without NFS

3 – Full multiuser mode

4 – unused

5 – X11

6 – reboot

Init identifies the default initlevel from /etc/inittab and uses that to load all appropriate program.

Execute ‘grep initdefault /etc/inittab’ on your system to identify the default run level

If you want to get into trouble, you can set the default run level to 0 or 6. Since you know what 0 and 6 means, probably you might not do that.

Typically you would set the default run level to either 3 or 5.

6. Runlevel programs

When the Linux system is booting up, you might see various services getting started. For example, it might say “starting sendmail …. OK”. Those are the runlevel programs, executed from the run level directory as defined by your run level.

Depending on your default init level setting, the system will execute the programs from one of the following directories.

Run level 0 – /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/

Run level 1 – /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/

Run level 2 – /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/

Run level 3 – /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/

Run level 4 – /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/

Run level 5 – /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/

Run level 6 – /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/

Please note that there are also symbolic links available for these directory under /etc directly. So, /etc/rc0.d is linked to /etc/rc.d/rc0.d.

Under the /etc/rc.d/rc*.d/ directories, you would see programs that start with S and K.

Programs starts with S are used during startup. S for startup.

Programs starts with K are used during shutdown. K for kill.

There are numbers right next to S and K in the program names. Those are the sequence number in which the programs should be started or killed.

For example, S12syslog is to start the syslog deamon, which has the sequence number of 12. S80sendmail is to start the sendmail daemon, which has the sequence number of 80. So, syslog program will be started before sendmail.

There you have it. That is what happens during the Linux boot process.

Making a Game with Amazon Q

UPDATE: I can't redeem for the cool shirt because they don't send them to America and I didn't read that in the doc when I started, so I just wasted hours of time lmao.

Today, I got this email from Amazon AWS:

and I thought "eh why not, I get a cool shirt."

So, I tried it out. I read the article that Haowen Huang wrote about how he made his own platformer game with Amazon Q. I tried creating a similar environment with Python and Pygame, but I wanted a different game. The game I wanted to recreate was Flappy Bird. While it isn't a "retro game," I still think it fits the theme of a classic '8bit' game, and it's retro enough for me (don't get mad haha). So I started by installing the Amazon Q cask on Homebrew and setting up a Python project and virtual environment with Pycharm. After I did that, I opened the terminal and started a q chat. Just as a side note, I have to admit, I am a fan of the auto-fill menu options available in the terminal with Amazon Q installed. It looks nice and it is kinda useful (especially for cd). I also love how Amazon Q chat will ask you for your permission before doing any task.

Once opening the chat, I gave it the following prompt:

"Greetings! In this directory, I am using python 3.11 with pygame to try and make a 'retro' styled game. The game I want to make is Flappy Bird. While it's not entirely retro, I still think it fits the theme, and it's retro to me, so I think it counts. Can you generate me some code and maybe textures/sprites to recreate flappy bird?"

It then took FOREVER to generate roughly six images (.png) and they were ALL corrupt. I think it may have just generated a hash of a PNG, because the content was just text, no binary. With this failure, I started to think outside of the box and start thinking into "what would be easy for AI to make?" I then asked it: "All of the images in the assets sub-directory are corrupted/invalid. How about instead of using images, we use vectors, more specifically SVGs? Can we please replace the old images with new SVGs and update the code to correspond with these changes?"

And it made one bird SVG. It tried to generate some code, but ran into issues when checking if I have specific packages installed with pip (because I don't have pip installed globally). It did not make anything else until prompted again:

"You made an amazing bird! But the rest of our code still needs updated and we need to replace all of the previous images. Please generate the remaining images in the assets directory, and rewrite the code. Don't worry about if we have packages installed or not, I can handle that myself; use whichever packages you deem necessary."

After this prompt, it made the rest of the SVGs, which all looked acceptable, and also generated some updated code and created its own requirements. Unfortunately, the SVG library it tried to use (cairo) would not work, and I did not want to have any native dependencies, so I asked it to fix that itself.

"Could you maybe rewrite the code to parse the SVGs without needing any sort of dependency like cairo? I don't like having to install anything extra and I'm getting errors for not having cairo installed (even though I do) and I would rather not troubleshoot that."

And it did exactly that. It removed the dependencies and I had a somewhat working game. Of course there were bugs. The two in this one had an issue where the ground was not continuous (would teleport at the end of the screen) and that when the bird hit the ground, the game would continue running and essentially soft-lock. I then asked Q to fix its issues:

"This runs great! Two slight issues. First one is that the ground kinda teleports to the new side once it goes off the screen, leaving a blank ground on the bottom of the screen. Second, when the bird hits the ground, the game does not end and it soft-locks. Could you update the code to fix this?"

After this, it fixed both of those issues, but introduced a new issue. In this change, Q decided to keep the ground moving, even when the game is finished. I asked it to fix that issue:

"Amazing work! One last tiny thing, when the game is over, the ground keeps moving, can you make it so the ground doesn't move when the game is over?"

And after that, the game seemed to work great! The last issue I had was that the score text in the top left was completely white and hard to see, so I asked Q to make it have an outline. Q asked if it was okay to remove pretty much all of the code, which seemed odd, so I backed up the code and allowed it. After I allowed it, Q did that exact action, then threw an error saying it couldn't find any code relating to scoring... after it had just removed it. It then continued to regenerate the whole file resulting in a broken game. However, it did generate a method called draw_text_with_outline which was great, because I could just restore my previous code and implement that method myself. It was very quick and easy. After I did that, I had a completely working Flappy Bird! Below is a video of the game functioning:

My take out of this was that Amazon Q can be helpful getting stared and creating a working base game, but still suffers from common issues that other AIs have: being forgetful, creating faults while trying to fix issues, and other common issues; however, with guidance, you can quickly get to a near promising result. In total, I spent less than an hour getting this setup and I wrote one line of code in total (implementing the text method mentioned above).

If you want to see the code that Amazon Q created, check out the repository below.

Edge Computing for Web Developers: How to Speed Up Your Apps

In today’s digital race, milliseconds matter.

Whether you’re building a real-time dashboard, an e-commerce platform, or a SaaS product, users expect one thing — speed. But traditional cloud setups, while powerful, aren’t always fast enough when data has to travel halfway across the globe.

Enter: Edge Computing — a game-changing strategy that moves computing closer to users and supercharges web performance.

What Is Edge Computing (And Why Should You Care)?

Imagine you’re ordering pizza. Would you rather get it from a kitchen next door or one 500 miles away?

That’s the difference between centralized cloud and edge computing.

Edge computing is about processing data as close to the user as possible — often on local servers or network nodes instead of a distant data center. For web developers, this means fewer delays, faster responses, and smoother user experiences.

And in an age where a one-second delay can drop conversions by 7%, that’s a big deal.

How Does It Actually Work?

Here’s the simple version:

You deploy some parts of your app (like APIs, static files, and authentication logic) to a central server and across multiple edge locations worldwide.

When a user in New York accesses your app, it loads from a nearby edge server, not from a main server in Singapore.

Result? Lower latency, less server load, and faster load times.

What Can Web Developers Use Edge Computing For?

Edge computing isn’t just for heavy tech infrastructure — it’s now developer-friendly and API-driven. Here’s how you can use it:

1. Deliver Static Assets Faster

CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) like Cloudflare, Vercel, or Netlify already do this — they serve your HTML, CSS, JS, and images from edge locations.

Bonus Tip: Combine with image optimization at the edge to slash load times.

2. Run Serverless Functions at the Edge

Think dynamic actions like form submissions, authentication, or geolocation-based content. Platforms like Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge Functions, and AWS Lambda@Edge let you run logic closer to your users.

Example: Show region-specific content without needing the user to wait for a central server to decide.

3. Improve API Response Times

You can cache API responses or compute lightweight operations at the edge to reduce back-and-forth trips to the origin server.

Imagine: A travel app loading nearby attractions instantly by computing distance at the edge, not centrally.

4. Secure Your App Better

Edge networks can block threats before they ever reach your main server, including bots, DDoS attacks, and suspicious traffic.

It’s like having a security guard posted on every street corner, not just your front door.

But… Does Every App Need Edge Computing?

Not necessarily. If your app is local, low-traffic, or non-latency-sensitive, traditional cloud might be enough.

But if you’re scaling globally, working with real-time data, or want lightning-fast load speeds, edge computing is your secret weapon.

Real-World Impact: Numbers Don’t Lie

Vercel reported a 50% performance boost for apps deployed with edge functions.

Retailers using edge caching see a 20–30% decrease in bounce rates.

Streaming platforms improved video start times by up to 60% with edge delivery.

These aren’t just nice-to-haves — they’re competitive advantages.

Getting Started: Tools You Should Know

Here are a few platforms and tools that make edge computing accessible for developers:

Cloudflare Workers — Write JavaScript functions that run at the edge.

Vercel — Perfect for Next.js and frontend teams, with edge function support.

Netlify Edge Functions — Simplified edge logic built into your CI/CD.

AWS Lambda@Edge — Enterprise-grade, with tight AWS integration.

Pro tip: If you’re already using frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt, or SvelteKit, edge-ready deployments are often just one setting away.

Final Thoughts: Why This Matters to You

For developers: Edge computing lets you build faster, more responsive apps without reinventing your stack.

For business owners: It means happier users, lower customer loss, and more conversions.

In a world where speed = success, edge computing isn’t the future — it’s the edge you need today.
