TIL that GitHub has a contract with ICE. I guess it's time to start looking for a place to migrate my repos. https://share.google/nWttIjp2WAUDeyHbv

I figured it out: You have to add a new entry to /etc/passwd manually, make the user's home directory and chown it to the user. Why the ELKS project hasn't yet simply added an "adduser" command or script to automate this is beyond me.
Is there a way to create a user account in ELKS? Practically all the infrastructure for it is already in place, but I don't see any commands to actually do it. I think I may have to hack up some scripts to make, modify, and remove users manually.
Using ELKS is an interesting odd duck. A lot more functionality than Floppinux out of the box, especially with networking, but... no user account management tools, even though the infrastructure is already there for it.

As far as shell functionality on a 1.44MB floppy disk goes, ELKS actually beats Floppinux(though the comparison is a bit unfair, as ELKS targets 16-bit whereas Floppinux targets 32-bit 486 DX).

Nitrux 6.0 disproves the notion that you can't have modern Linux features without systemd.

Dear State of California,

Re: AB 1043

How the hell do you expect embedded OS developers, particularly those whose projects wholly lack a networking stack, to implement an age verification scheme at the account level? They'll just legally mark their projects as "not intended for use in California" and leave the problem for the California government to figure out.

Mastodon apps for Commodore 64 and IBM MVS. That just blows my mind.
