My name is Nicola Barbuti. I am the developer and maintainer of BashCore Operating System.

https://bashcore.org

https://sourceforge.net/projects/bashcore/

https://os.watch/bashcore/

I did things in music and photography too.

🐧 **Late-night coding saga**
Building *BashCore-X*, wrestling with *live-build*, tweaking *XFCE* configs... oh, and fighting off relentless mosquitoes! At least my trusty anti-mosquito spray is here. 💻🦟

First LXDE broke me. Now XFCE is taking its turn. BashCore-X is already falling apart… The failures just keep coming!

After countless attempts, tweaks, and rebuilds, I’ve decided to abandon the BashCoreLX project (BashCore with LXDE). LightDM issues drove me crazy... 🤯

Now starting tests for BashCore-X with XFCE GUI 💪

Fingers crossed! 🤞

This May Day, Labour Day, I woke up early to work on my new project BashCoreLX.

I have set up a lab similar to the one I used for BashCore, and I am currently building the first test ISO using live-build.

Fingers crossed 🤞

#BashCore is secure because it's based on #Debian, but don’t expect a fortress like #Kicksecure, #Whonix or #Tails...
It’s a Swiss knife: light, flexible, powerful.

For those who like to play hard: #Lynis is included, so you can test your setup and fix what you break. Have fun! 🤪

Big news in the #BashCore project: introducing #BashCoreLX — the same minimal, powerful BashCore, now with a lightweight #LXDE graphical interface!
Tested on my old machine: just 300MB RAM on boot.
Hoping to release a public ISO soon using live-build!

It’ll include all BashCore tools +
#Wireshark #OWASPZAP #BurpSuite #FernWiFiCracker #FirefoxESR #Netsurf

#Linux #Pentesting #CyberSecurity #LightweightLinux #InfoSec #LiveISO

The idea has taken shape.

Something new is coming.

Just completed the "Mastering Generative AI for Cybersecurity" course by IBM on edX during my days off!
Earned a passing grade and got a solid grasp on how AI is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape.

No certificate this time, but the knowledge is priceless!

AI on CLI: A Total Failure 😅

Tried Hugging Face, OpenAI, and others. Result? A big flop 😅

- Hugging Face is rubbish and tokens vanish quickly 🤷🏻‍♂️

- OpenAI only works if you pay 💸💸💸

The reality: CLI AI access is pay-to-play. No reliable free solutions.

BashCore’s AI dream? Officially a tabu.

#AI #CLI #TechFrustrations

Real hackers don’t need apps.
Real sysadmins don’t need GUIs.

I'm creating a pure bash way to chat with AI directly from the terminal: no install, no login, no dependencies.

Open. Copy. Paste. Talk.
Welcome to the BashCore way.

Stay tuned 😎
