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!

#Toybox #Soldiers #TwoDollarsEndlessFun

We 100% made dad fork over the 2 dollars. (In those days you could send cash through the US mail.)
We had a lot of fun, as I recall. But the battleships were the Lego of their day if you stepped on one with bare feet.
I'm sure there are quite a few soldiers still in the dirt on my dads farm.

🔧✨ Behold, the magical Toybox! 🎩✨ Now you can bumble through #Linux with a single #command line tool that does everything and nothing at all. Because who needs focus when you have a Swiss Army knife made of spaghetti code? 🍝🔧

The #Kimsuky divergences in #ToyBox append a new command category in toys/android/ with the following options:

- getenforce / setenforce -> Query and modify SELinux enforcement
- restorecon / runcon -> Reset or run processes under SELinux contexts
- sendevent -> Generate low-level input events (touch/keys)
- log, logwrapper -> Interface with Android’s logging system
- load_policy -> Load SELinux policies

Also include GN/Ninja integration (Google’s build system) for AOSP devices.

My guess is most likely used in their Android malware development

make your filesystem eventful using inotify cmds,
the REACT for filesystems ❤

```
$ inotifyd ./myscript /dir /dir/sub/dir &

$ touch /dir/foo.json
myscript: w /dir/foo.json

$ touch /dir/sub/dir/bar.json
myscript: w /dir/sub/dir/bar.json
```

@target

@cstross isn't even joking, I think.

Both BusyBox and ToyBox actually do have an init program, a getty program, and a login program.

BusyBox also has the Almquist shell. ToyBox has a Landley shell. BusyBox even has runit.

It is possible to have a system where even if you are doing various things in a shell you're just invoking the same program image over and over, using all of the same code that is there in process #1.
