The only time I realize this little BSD machine only has 4GiB RAM is when I absent-mindedly try to do a zstd --ultra -22 and it fails because of lack of RAM. Even firefox hums along nicely, if you can believe it. (Not that I'm loading hellsites like facecrud or instagormless, but you get the idea).

Meanwhile windows isn't particularly happy with less than 16.

BashCore philosophy:

Everything that's missing is what you don’t need.

No GUI. No bloat. No distractions.
Just a clean shell, ready to act.
Built for ethical hackers, sysadmins, and anyone who lives in the terminal.

Honestly, 50 tools should be more than enough.
Who really tests all 600+ tools in Kali or the 2,500+ in BlackArch?
I tried... but some BlackArch tools didn’t even run properly...

In BashCore and BashCoreX, every app works.
No duplicates. No junk. Just tools that actually run.

Yes, the ISOs are ~7GB,
but we’ve got Metasploit, Searchsploit, and especially SecLists (which weighs a ton) 🤷🏻‍♂️

A fingernail-sized chip with kilobytes of memory has been running secure cryptography in Java since 1991. Today, we need gigabytes for a "microservice" that wraps a REST call in three layers of abstraction because of "enterprise", Patterns, Libs, Frameworks, Fancy... Would a Sim Card nowadays have the Size of a small Raspberry Pi?

I continue to write Nano: https://github.com/NanoNative/nano - A lib that supports you to write in plain modern, functional java.

🚨 When your code is a few KB, but your dependencies rival AAA game installations. Still believe in fairy tales of secure code?

Gigabytes of code you didn't write. Licences you didn't read. Security flaws you didn't anticipate. Yet, you trust them. Adorable.

Not just Node.js. Gradle caches, AWS libs with 400 sub-dependencies + reflection parties. In control? How cute.

I use plain Java with jlink + jpackage. Minimal. Secure. No bloat.

Fewer deps = fewer surprises. Because I care.

But hey, keep stacking that Jenga tower. Watching it fall will be fun.
