Does #musl have a counterpart to glibc gai.conf? I want to prefer my ULA IPv6 /48 prefix over global addresses, if the device has an address within the prefix. ​​
My #emulator takes a ROM filename on the #CommandLine, among other options. I use the #musl library's #getopt to parse the command in C. It makes me appreciate the libraries that come with newer languages like Python. youtu.be/PAw478XJYWI #FamilySizeVM #emudev #CLI #timelapse #emulator

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.

@bazkie well, you can to an extent.

@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.

  • Making it the problem of the Softwares' Maintainers!
    • If they use some stuff that doesn't allow that, then that's their problem…
  • But then again I also statically compile against #musl because #GlibC is notorious for bricking shit with minor updates and anything #GNU seems to be run by folks who think: 'Just recompile it with the new version!' is a valid answer for their bullshit.

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.

Idea for a #musl pin or bumper sticker:
