Eternal Software Initiative: il progetto che vuole avviare Linux tra mille anni

Eternal Software Initiative punta a rendere eseguibile Linux tra mille anni grazie a una macchina virtuale minimalista basata su una sola istruzione.

Linux Easy

Just finished a PoC if i could bootstrap pkgsrc on my self-assembled minimal docker container.

Ingredients: skarnet-musl-toolchain. busybox-static, toybox-static, gawk, gsed, gtar, gmake, libz, libexpat, libxcrypt, libbsd, libmd, musl-{bsdcompat,fts,obstack,rpmatch}, and finally pkgsrc from netbsd.

after a few ins and outs, and learning the ropes, bootstrapping worked flawlessly.

shout out for the developers for their good work!

Ten years ago, I built a #WebSocket server using nothing but #UNIX shell and #BusyBox tools. 🛠️

Looking back at `websocket.sh` today, it's just a fun, interesting project that shows how far you can stretch basic tools.

So che Stallman potrebbe farmi le macumbe, ma come si indica una distribuzione con kernel Linux che non utilizza come base principale le GNU core Utilites (e magari nemmeno glibc)?

Non-GNU/Linux GNU-less/Linux?
Distribuzione "esotica"?
Ditemi la vostra definizione.

Ok, dang. #Busybox #ed is kinda worthless.
No m, u, or n. :P

Following on from my #kindle hacking - I haven't yet got a custom kernel booting but I did use the bootargs to drop into a simple #busybox shell which meant I could root the device by changing the password:

1. Connected up serial lines (1.8v)
2. Drop into u-boot
3. `setenv bootargs setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 earlyprintk console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/bin/sh`
4. `boot`
5. Once it drops into the busybox shell do `mount -o remount, rw /` to remount the as rw
6. `passwd`
7. Set a new password
8. `reboot now` and this time let it fully boot up
9. Login in via serial using `root` and your password

In the spirit of there always being 1 more #vi clone than one thinks, notice that @lpar 's list is lacking Ali Gholami Rudi's #neatvi which is packaged in #pkgsrc and about a decade old now.

And even then the rule still applies. There's 1 more clone: Sterling Huxley's and Brent Roman's #viless, a quarter of a century old and what #BusyBox supplies.
