@foone Maybe once @violenceworks gets the #VT69 done I'll have something more to test @OS1337 against.

It's intentional https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337?tab=readme-ov-file#name :

- #OS2 was taken, #OS3 would've basically been a #speedrun attempt to get angry mail from #IBM as would've likely been with #OS420 and other names...

I mean, if #NvChad can have a #meme-based naming why not an entire #OS?

After all, We've already seen #HannahMontanaLinux and #AmogOS so why not [something that'll be fun to use](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYfpptgb6W8) on a #VT69?

Or as a #minimalist #firmware one could chug on a #Pi0 / #Pi0W inside a VT-69 from @violenceworks to turn it into a #SSH-#Terminal...

#OS1337 #VT69

@SweetAIBelle @ActionRetro @OS1337 Cuz while a #VT320 looks awesome we can all agree that the #VT69 by @violenceworks is way more practical for "#FrugalComputing" or just #minimalist #Linux use...

@SweetAIBelle @OS1337
So yeah, even if anything beyond the minimalist 1440kB Floppy is quite bigger, being able to #reproduce a system and have #ReproduceableBuilds is in my eyes the only way to get enough #trust so #CriticalInfrastructure providers would consider it even remotely for use.

Or in some cases barely allow it #onsite for use.

And that's why I use #toybox: Because the motivations align with those of @landley and I also want counter-#FUD decisionmakers by showing them:

"This is what I'd use to administrate your critical #Linux / #BSD / #Unix servers. You don't have to trust me, here's the code that you can build it yoursef - airgapped and inhouse - and it WILL exceed any security and auditability criteria you can create that any other OS can comply with!"

Not to mention a compact system can just yoink itself into RAM and just be available for tasking, making #ThinClient updates super fast and easy to facilitate across machines, preventing any persistence of malicious code or unauthorized access beyond reboot...

Basically the #VT69 dumb terminal but over #SSH and thus way more practical!

@lestrrat which is kinda sad...
Because things don't habe to have daily updates!

Personally, my current pet project - @OS1337 - is inspired by @landley 's #mkroot and @w84death 's #Floppinux in that I want to not just make a simple #Linux distro 'from scratch' as a personal "#demoscene-esque" challenge but to answer the question:

"What is the amallest possible yet still useable Distro I can build with which I (as Linux-#Sysadmin] can still #work?"

And I came to the conclusion that I can basically do everything from an #SSH #terminal similar to the #VT69 by @violenceworks but like as #distro.

OFC that idea grew on me as I wanted to make something that is actually useable with just an 80x25 MDA or serial console...

It's still very rough around the edges, but you can just run it from a 1440kB 3,5" FDD on an i486SX and up with at least 16MB of RAM...

You can download a test build from here...

@linear so basically you're adding yourself a #Pi0W like a #VT69 to it?

Nifty...

Consider a #LiFePO4 battery for extended lifetime espechally with low discharge depths...

@astrid OWO!

Something like the #VT69 by @violenceworks ?

@DavittoKun @landley Heck if I really were to force myself I could propably be fine with a tiny box (#Nettop or #Netbook) that just gets me somehow online similar to the #VT69 with a #Pi0W:

@th you turned a #Macintosh into an inconvenient #VT69 #Terminal?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYfpptgb6W8 via @violenceworks

Think of it like the #VT69 by @violenceworks but #BYOD (#BringYourOwnDevice) to support the oldest and slowest machines that can be supported (#i486-SX), just that it'll allow you to #SSH into anything*...

Yeah, I know, nothing fancy but IMHO way more useful than #Floppinux:
https://github.com/w84death/floppinux

BTW the #documentation on that is excellent:
https://archive.org/details/floppinux-manual/

*that supports password-based auth.

#i486SX #OS1337 #FLOSS #development

And personally, I just want OS/1337 to be a useable minimalist desktop aka. something one would want to use on a #VT69 with a @Raspberry_Pi or anything else hooked up to it...

@whitekiba Exacty...

Whereas I'm convinced there must be a possibility to get like an SSH client to work from a floppy...

Heck, I even bought one of those floppy emulators and hooked that up to a USB to floppy adaptor board for extra cursed testing on modern hardware... xD

But yeah, like a floppy that basically does the same as the #VT69 but using a PC and SSH...

@jwildeboer uwu...

This looks even more practical than the #VT69 by @violenceworks

Tho the comparison is unfair as the VT-69 is a portable #Terminal that can be used as a #console and has a different scope and more versatility.

#WhatsMissing: A #RaspberryPi #clustering system that directly uses the #PCIe links and/or allows using the #CM4 / #CM3 as "coporcessors" or rather "co-nodes" that get interfaced like the #Apple #Afterburner card but can run on their own...
