PSA: In #debian unstable, "copy_exec /bin/lsblk" stopped working when used in an initramfs-tools hook. Why? The #busybox 1.38.0 upload enabled the lsblk applet and (to my surprise) the "copy_exec" function will not overwrite the destination file if it already exists. Since busybox lsblk does not support any command line flags, my initramfs scripts which expected lsblk from util-linux failed in funny and non-obvious ways. Time to make these scripts more robust. :)

Just finished a PoC if i could bootstrap pkgsrc on my self-assembled minimal docker container.

Ingredients: skarnet-musl-toolchain. busybox-static, toybox-static, gawk, gsed, gtar, gmake, libz, libexpat, libxcrypt, libbsd, libmd, musl-{bsdcompat,fts,obstack,rpmatch}, and finally pkgsrc from netbsd.

after a few ins and outs, and learning the ropes, bootstrapping worked flawlessly.

shout out for the developers for their good work!

Ten years ago, I built a #WebSocket server using nothing but #UNIX shell and #BusyBox tools. 🛠️

Looking back at `websocket.sh` today, it's just a fun, interesting project that shows how far you can stretch basic tools.

Following on from my #kindle hacking - I haven't yet got a custom kernel booting but I did use the bootargs to drop into a simple #busybox shell which meant I could root the device by changing the password:

1. Connected up serial lines (1.8v)
2. Drop into u-boot
3. `setenv bootargs setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 earlyprintk console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/bin/sh`
4. `boot`
5. Once it drops into the busybox shell do `mount -o remount, rw /` to remount the as rw
6. `passwd`
7. Set a new password
8. `reboot now` and this time let it fully boot up
9. Login in via serial using `root` and your password

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.

Randomly wondering: Does anyone know what's going on with #Busybox? The last release is a year and half old, there has been development in Git, including bugfixes (including ones that may be relevant for security, like 3fb6b31c716669e12f75a2accd31bb7685b1a1cb), but there's no sign of a new release. The mailing list is mostly people complaining gitweb doesn't work, and a fix for httpd I sent early this month didn't get any response… ​:neocat_think:​
