Varastossa makaa pari hyvin vanhaa QNAP’n NAS palvelinta ja siellä olisi terakaupalla hyvää tilaa esim. perheen kuville, puhelinten varmuuskopioiden ja kuvagallerialle. En vaan ole varma saako niistä enää mitään käyttöön, kun QNAPin tuki NASin Busybox distrolle taitaa olla loppunut vuosia sitten.

@nmott consider #toybox then?

So far, I don't think any OS I've ever run on my laptop has been as responsive as #AlpineLinux. Even running #Gnome, the heaviest of DEs with a buncha #systemd that has to be worked around in a #BusyBox - #OpenRC environment, it was super fast to boot and just quick to use.

I have to imagine that now that I'm moving away from Gnome, it would be even more zippy.

So I'm leaning in that direction.

BreezyBox: A BusyBox-Like Shell And Virtual Terminal For ESP32

Much like how BusyBox crams many standard Unix commands and a shell into a single executable, so too does BreezyBox provide a similar experience for the ESP32 platform. A demo implementation is als…

Linux su floppy nel 2026: FLOPPINUX, kernel e BusyBox compressi in 1,44 MB

FLOPPINUX è una distribuzione Linux moderna che entra in un floppy da 1,44 MB, mostrando in modo pratico cosa serve davvero per far funzionare Linux.

⚠️ Unlike typical exploits, no buffer overflow or memory corruption needed - just one manipulated environment variable grants root access

🛡️ Not all Telnet implementations affected - only #GNU inet utils; proprietary versions like #Cisco and #BusyBox are safe

📊 #GreyNoise threat intelligence reports multiple exploit attempts per hour already detected in the wild

🔄 Telnet's unencrypted nature makes attacks visible to defenders monitoring plaintext traffic for "-f root" patterns

My first suspect for a #login not supporting -- would be something with a 1980s history pre-dating standard #getopt, such as Solaris, which is ironic given that #inetutils has its only -- present in conditionally compiled code targetting Solaris.

#FreeBSD, #NetBSD, and #OpenBSD login all use getopt(), pervasive in these worlds for decades, as do the util-linux login (used by Debian et al.), and the #Illumos and #BusyBox logins.

#suckless login supports -- via ARGBEGIN.

anyone know of a repo with a shairport-sync pkg that defaults to airplay 1?

there're currently 3 variants all built on airplay 2

shairport-sync-mbedtls is supposed to be airport one according to ted's makefile but reporting on my system as airport2
