#busybox — Public Fediverse posts

@jpmens

In the spirit of there always being 1 more #vi clone than one thinks, notice that @lpar 's list is lacking Ali Gholami Rudi's #neatvi which is packaged in #pkgsrc and about a decade old now.

https://pkgsrc.se/editors/neatvi

And even then the rule still applies. There's 1 more clone: Sterling Huxley's and Brent Roman's #viless, a quarter of a century old and what #BusyBox supplies.

Varastossa makaa pari hyvin vanhaa QNAP’n NAS palvelinta ja siellä olisi terakaupalla hyvää tilaa esim. perheen kuville, puhelinten varmuuskopioiden ja kuvagallerialle. En vaan ole varma saako niistä enää mitään käyttöön, kun QNAPin tuki NASin Busybox distrolle taitaa olla loppunut vuosia sitten.

My first suspect for a #login not supporting -- would be something with a 1980s history pre-dating standard #getopt, such as Solaris, which is ironic given that #inetutils has its only -- present in conditionally compiled code targetting Solaris.

#FreeBSD, #NetBSD, and #OpenBSD login all use getopt(), pervasive in these worlds for decades, as do the util-linux login (used by Debian et al.), and the #Illumos and #BusyBox logins.

#suckless login supports -- via ARGBEGIN.

Собираем Linux, который весит меньше, чем мем с котиком, ну или почти…

Мне всегда было интересно, насколько минимальным может быть Linux. Три года назад я уже публиковал статью , но понимание темы меняется. Сейчас хочу освежить знания и поделиться ими. В отличие от предыдущей статьи, в этой я рассматриваю Linux с более свежим ядром с минимальной конфигурацией на основе tinyconfig, оформленный в виде одного файла и загружаемый при помощи UEFI. Зачем вообще нужно создавать такие сборки Linux? Установил готовый дистрибутив или загрузился в Live — работай и изучай. Но такой подход не даёт настоящей уверенности в знаниях. Представьте: водитель и шофёр. Водитель просто ездит. Шофёр знает устройство автомобиля и может его починить. Современные автомобили сложны — починить всё самому уже нельзя. Но вы можете открыть капот, измерить уровень масла, заменить колесо в случае прокола, установить винт для буксировочного троса и т. д. Так же и с Linux: коммерческий дистрибутив вы вряд ли соберёте, но на одну ступеньку вверх по лестнице профессионализма подниметесь. На мой взгляд, описание создания минимального Linux не должно быть большим, поэтому я старался его сделать минимально возможным, вложив максимум смысла. Как минимальный Linux служит для понимания более сложных вещей, так и моя статья даёт базу для дальнейшего более глубокого изучения. В комментариях к моей предыдущей статье я видел замечания, что можно использовать buildroot или книгу Linux From Scratch . Скажу только, что я преследую другие цели: собрать минимальный Linux без использования специализированных программ и сделать это как можно проще. Всем, кого заинтересовало, добро пожаловать под кат.

I cannot say positively that there exists someone who can *recommend* some. I can point to some, but this does not constitute a recommendation, and you'll have to do some investigation. (-:

[Перевод] Собираем и запускаем минимальное ядро Linux

Однажды на работе техлид порекомендовал мне проштудировать книгу Understanding the Linux Kernel Бове и Чезати. В ней рассмотрена версия Linux 2.6, сильно не дотягивающая до более современной версии 6.0. Но в ней явно ещё много ценной информации. Книга толстая, поэтому на её изучение мне потребовалось немало времени. Занимаясь по ней, я решил настроить такую среду разработки, в которой я мог бы просматривать и изменять новейшую версию ядра Linux — чтобы было ещё интереснее. Есть и другие статьи, в которых рассказано, как собрать ядро Linux. Но в этой статье я немного иначе организую и подаю информацию.

I've been checking out how projects like #Busybox-w32, #msys and #GNUWin32 handle links in their utility programs like ln & ls. The comparison is very interesting. I really like Busybox-w32's use of hard links and how they show up with ls -i. They've done a wonderful job getting Busybox working on Windows. I'm investigating if Busybox-w32 can be used in place of msys when building #FLOSS #C projects with #mingw.

I build a lot of #FLOSS #C programs from source. I've been looking into replacing #msys on #Windows with #busybox-w32 ash and some alternatives to core utilities. I've been wanting to get rid of msys for a while and use natively built utilities that don't require Cygwin style DLLs. There are projects like #gnuwin32 and #GOW. Anyone else interested in this sort of thing?

Tangents aside, people are free to create forks and even branches that include #SystemD or use #BusyBox:

That is the #Freedom of #FLOSS and in fact for anything outside the 1440kB target we'd accept #SystemD since it works and solves a lot of issues...

Granted OS/1337 isn't a #demo first but rather tries to take the concept of #tomsrtbt and @w84death 's #Floppinux and tries to make it something that is useable and can be extended to arbitrary complexity if one desires to...

It's about making a tiny #Linux distro that is #reproduceable and #auditable...

It won't replace @ubuntu or any other big distro, likely it won't even replace #mkroot from #toybox but it should be a clean and level foundation for small #IoT and #EmbeddedSystems projects and products...

Something that is easy to build and customize and port to other platforms...

And we're open for contributions:
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/blob/main/docu/ideas/architectures.tsv

And yes, for those waiting, I plan on doing the #inxi #TinyCore release concurrently because there are a lot of tiny linux fixes in 3.3.32, including supporting at least to some degree all the known #TinyX servers, and fixing some always broken system init detections for #busybox based systems. And #Slitaz support! that's another groovy tiny linux distro. And #Alpine support enhanced. Those are all cool projects that to me are one of the best things about the #gnu/#linux ecosystem.

@DavittoKun Actually, I've not come that long and have been quite #lazy and #halfassing things way too much.

I just took @w84death 's #Floppinux Manual, a current #Linux Kernel, yeeted #BusyBox for @landley 's #toybox and hammered enough keys with my monkey brain to get a console working.

@SweetAIBelle them beautified and streamlined the list of scripts I used to build it and provided ample of feedback and suggestions.

In fact, I think everyone should read that Floppinux manual which is also a nice writeup to get started at the surface of it.
https://archive.org/details/floppinux-manual/

It's an ongoing process and ideally it'll get modest success for those that look for #OpenBSD-alike security but with the ease and simplicity of "how do I get this running on my [weird] box?" since basically every SoC today can boot Linux more or less straightforward to some degree.

I do OFC value and welcome feedback and support on that matter, as I can't even remotely claim to know everything without ridiculing myself with such a baseless statement.

Does it seem redundant to #mkroot?
Yeah, but that's expected since mkroot's goal is to showcase toybox's self-reproduceability and using it's built-in gzip instead of xz is just one of the many concessions this will inevitably demand...

Do I want OS/1337 to be 'self-hosting'?
Yes, but it's not the prime goal and thus currently out of focus for testing...

A lot of things will develop over time...

Adding #inxi / #pinxi support for #slitaz, and it's package manager / repos #tazpkg. This also exposed a significant bug with init detections on #busybox based distros, which made it hang when detecting the init system due to way too lose tests. Now correctly gets init as BusyBox and version too. Also added in corrected slitaz distro ID.

this is turning into yet another really big inxi release, but waiting is proving to be productive in terms of features.

Finished TinyX detections as well.

Telnet Gets Stubborn Sony Camera Under Control - According to [Venn Stone], technical producer over at LinuxGameCast, the Sony a500... - https://hackaday.com/2022/11/25/telnet-gets-stubborn-sony-camera-under-control/ #digitalcamerashacks #softwarehacks #firmwarehack #busybox #telnetd #telnet #sony

Updated #FreshTomato #firmware on my #Netgear #R7000 #router and #ASUS RT-N66U that I use as a switch + WiFi AP.

For some reason it was a pain to get the WAN working again. Rebooting the cable modem and R7000 eventually cleared it up?

Noticed that #busybox #ntpd on the firmware doesn't respond to ntpq queries and is rather config-limited, so I installed the #entware version on the R7000's USB stick.

Also uninstalled #avahi because it's now built into the firmware - neat! Now do #wsdd2 please!
