@ska Denys Vlasenko is presumably still actively responsible for the runit clone in BusyBox. Xe last touched BusyBox 6 days ago.

#BusyBox #runit

Ok, so basic posting via API is a piece of cake, once I figured out I was using the ash shell instead of the bash shell (BusyBox clone on iOS). Now to think of something stupider than usual to do. #Linux #BusyBox #API #iOS #iSHshell

If you ever need to find out which process is lisening on a port on an embedded system like a #qnap #nas and netstat is build so minimal that it wont spit out the port lsof may be your fried:
sudo lsof -itcp -P | grep 80

#tip #embeddedlinux #busybox

@lunareclipse if you just want it to be a stupid server that doesn't even need to call, sms, wwan but only do like Ethernet over a USB dongle [potentially even get powered vis PoE] then maybe #Armbian or some #Busybox / #Toybox distro may also work.

Alpine Linux als Desktop

Die leichtgewichtige und auf Sicherheit getrimmte Distribution Alpine Linux lässt sich mit wenig Aufwand auch als Desktop-System nutzen. In dieser Anleitung erfährst du Schritt-für-Schritt, was dazu nötig ist.

sometimes #BusyBox is amazing when i really dont want to figure out how to do this with powershell

Me, running `ls | grep command-block` and getting results in Windows Terminal. The prompt is customized via Starship.

Nice to-the-point post from @geerlingguy helped me set up a #raspberrypi as an NFS server. A single-purpose NFS server can make a nice way to delivery files when you cross-compile on a different machine.

One thing I learned while setting up a client though, it seems like NFS shares in fstab aren't always mounted at boot. I had to add a little rc script on a #busybox system to mount the share right after the network comes up.

So well… i found a bug in busybox. Its wget implementation runs a ssl_helper process when handling https urls. But it does not “waitpid” for that child process to exit. When running in a container without an init process this leads to one zombie process per https url. Nice… #docker #busybox #bug

Something is off in #busybox version 1.36: wget doesn't succeed with "Connection reset by peer", whereas the same thing works properly with version 1.35.

Ok, that failed completely! #restore with #Timeshift was fine, when rebooting a strange encryption message came and then I learned about the #Busybox!! Not bootable anymore. Maybe another try tomorrow…

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!

Okazis problemo dum la eklanĉo de #LinuxMint kun mesaĝo rilate al #Busybox kaj #initramfs. Kaze ke vi trafas la saman problemon, nur sufiĉas ke vi petu kontrolon kaj riparadon de la disko per:

fsck /dev/sda1 -y

(se via sistemo troviĝas ĉe /dev/sda1)

Having been looking around the lbu command on #Alpine (which is not #GNU/linux but #Busybox+musl/linux). Very fun and state of art, suitable for being a machine for networking purposes.

#Wireguard on it works like a charm. Server side is #Freebsd, solid firm. Now all my device traffic goes through its tunnel, relief 😅. i can have some study on #socialissues now.

Adélie Linux.

In BETA phase now, already intriguing.

Based on "GNUless" Alpine Linux, but aiming for common desktop use. Userland instead of GNU Core: BusyBox.

For C standard library, it uses musl, instead of GNU glibc.

"We do believe that Linux should be usable by anyone, regardless of income level or past computer experience. We don't believe that Linux has to be hard to use."

Eye on this one.

Alpine Linux 3.7.0 (a security oriented distro) was released a bit ago.

-Support for EFI finally here.

Alpine uses Busybox as a userland instead of gnu core, musl libc instead of glibc etc. Yet they are optional.

Without taking any stance on it; no systemd on Alpine Linux either.

Could it be said that Alpine Linux is not GNU/Linux (oh boy here we go again) but rather just a "Linux" ?

How does it thrive as a daily driver?
