My emulator takes a path to a ROM image on the command line, among other options. I use the musl library's getopt_long function to parse the command in C. It makes me appreciate the libraries that come with newer languages like Python.

Chimera Linux does things differently: the distro is built from scratch, musl instead of glibc, init is dinit, FreeBSD userland, ...
Fresh install on my Thinkpad using OpenZFS and ZFSBootMenu. Curious to explore further. I'm thinking of a setup where Chimera is my desktop and FreeBSD on a home server.
Came across this again while reviewing some code in #musl iconv: the standard legacy encoding for Korean, EUC-KR/CP949, is grossly underdocumented. Unlike a most other CJK encodings, Wikipedia has basically no information on the actual encoding structure, and WHATWG chooses to specify it as an arbitrary table completely disregarding the structure.
So, a little thread on it, so it's written down somewhere. Maybe someday someone will write a proper article.

Addendum to "things #musl libc will never do":
- Request your age, date of birth, or proof of identity or attempt to report it to applications.
@icedquinn @tknarr @navi sadly you are correct to the point that @fuchsiii jokingly says that:
#Win32 / #Win64 is the most stable #ABI on #Linux.
Personally, I am so frustrated about this situation that I mandate all applications for @OS1337 to ship their dependencies with themselves statically linked.
The public key fingerprint for #musl release signatures is:

Republishing this here now for the first time since our move to Treehouse, to follow a past practice for redundancy of sources of trust.
