    @thelinuxcast @fuchsiii yes, a #0day affecting all versions since 1993.

    Because #GlibC is a mess that constantly bricks stuff for no good reason - just like the #GNUtils

    There's a reason why OS/1337 uses @musl and @landley 's #toybox.

    Because #KISS principle rules!

    @sjmulder @landley sadly a lot of #TechIlliterates seem to accept the #Enshittification of #tech because they don't know better and rather believe marketing lies than ask #InconvenientTruth|s.

    The fact that a lot of #Apps are so outrageous #Bloatware isn't a law of nature but a result of #WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue applied to the masses...

    There is no reason for a website (w/o images and other multimedia content OFC) to be bigger than OS/1337 and taking longer to load than #OS1337 needs to boot on anything that isn't a severely choked #Iridium satellite internet connection...

    @polyote @landley #Lua is definitely an upgrade in some cases tho.

    Like #neovim using it instead of #VimScript...

    Granted I use #nano and have to get used to #kilo for #OS1337 but still...

    @landley @DavittoKun *nodds in agreement*

    I don't expect anyone maintaining, designing or building #CriticalInfrastructure to ever reach out to me or even use OS/1337, but if those developing i.e. medical IT take a look at this and decide to use a clean and minimalist #Linux, #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD or even #illumos - based distro with #toybox or another compact #Userland instead of some botched "embedded" Version of Windows, then already that's the kind of change I want to see...

    I mean it would be cool if they used and contributed to #OS1337 but if I wanted to force them then I should've made some commercial distro akin to #WindRiverLinux or #VxWorks instead, and I don't...

    Aside from "rebuilding under itself" which is on the roadmap, OS/1337 is close to #mkroot.

    Certainly not a drop-in replacement, but that's not the primary goal of it either.
    It would be nice, but it's not a strict necessity as of now...

    It's also not as cringe as using a botched Debian 8.2 shoved though OpenADK and left to marinade or rather rot for almost a decade on devices being deployed to customers...

    As of now, just running build.sh does build a working 1440kB floppy image that boots.

    Tho there are still some issues I'm confident this will get some releaseable alpha version this year if not the first half of it...
    github.com/orgs/OS-1337/projec

    Contributions to #OS1337 are welcome as well as feedback: Tho be mindful this is pre-alpha software so it may have a lot of rough and sharp edges that can hurt.
    github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/issu

    If one can test on physical hardware with ISA and/or PC/104 bus that would really help.
    Ideally use something like a Gotek #SFR1M44 test with if your System's #BIOS doesn't support USB-#Floppy emulation via an image file like some #Vortex86-based SBCs.

    (Doesn't require #Flash Floppy tho it's recommended!
    github.com/keirf/flashfloppy)

    As of now, OS/1337 does boot, but has a lot of issues...

    But we're confident to get them addressed.

    @kurth granted I do prefer - - Systems that avoid writes as much as possible and I do intent do enable OS/1337 to support a "boot from RAM" mode where it's copied as and then started...

    Because I do like that feature from @bunsenlabs / Linux and as it provides a fast-feeling system whilst also yeeting all data afterwards.

    Pretty shure @tails_live still wipes RAM manually at shutdown...
