I started migrating my GitHub repositories to Codeberg, as I'd rather not contribute my code to a company that does business with ICE.

Codeberg is a non-profit community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home.
TIL that GitHub has a contract with ICE. I guess it's time to start looking for a place to migrate my repos.

https://fraxoweb.social/@frank/116217802471196438@tokyobybike I'm pretty sure only Steam OS and perhaps Android would get on board with the age verification crap. It would be a legal nightmare for the state governments to try and go after all general Linux distributions who simply say "We'll just mark our distros as not intended for use in your surveillance state, lol".
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.
@georgetakei If I were President, I'd have Rep. Reuben Gallego in charge of DHS. He served in the military, knows that immigrants aren't "the enemy", and he didn't cower in a corner on Jan. 6 like MarkWayneSteveDave Mullin did.
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).
