Dev creates astrology-powered CPU scheduler for Linux, makes decisions based on planetary positions and zodiac signs — sched_ext framework informed by lunar phases, cosmic weather reports, and dynamic time slicing

‘Why let mere mortals decide CPU priorities when the cosmos can guide us?’ asks the developer.

Here's the GitHub repo. It is glorious.

This scheduler is 100% for educational and entertainment purposes. While the astronomical calculations are real and the scheduler actually works (it really does load into the kernel and schedule tasks!), using astrology to schedule CPU tasks is:

  • Scientifically dubious
  • Cosmically hilarious
  • Fully functional with real retrograde detection and lunar phase scheduling
  • Not recommended for production systems (but it boots and runs stably)
  • Perfect for conference talks, hackathons, and proving that anything is possible
