@veronica @finn I use #Linux #Kernel666 for @OS1337 ^

@enigmatico @privateger Anyway, with #musl & #toybox I got a booting #Linux with #kernel666 in #1440kB:
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/blob/main/OS1337-core-prerelease.img

And I do continue to work on @OS1337 ...

@SweetAIBelle @OS1337 shure.

I'm convinced that a fully-fledged image of that would be similar to #toybox's #mkroot, which is @landley 's reference implementation for a toxbox + #musl / #linux system.

• Last time I checked it came out just below 4 MB, but that was the premade image using only the stuff toybox included [and linux & being statically compiled against musl] like #gzip instead of #xz for compression, so there already is room to shave a few hundred kB without reducing functionality out of the get-go as I've seen with my build tests of #kernel666...

Either way, we're close to his reference matterial AFAICT and I do think that OS/1337 can become a good and solid foundation for #minimalist & #embedded systems.

For comparison:

• #YoctoLinux is quite #THICC in comparison (using LSB & #GNUtils for the most part!) and stuff like #OpenADK seems to be overly complex...

  • tho #Viprinet hasn't updated their stuff in like 8 years and I sincerely hope that's just them loginwalling access to #SourceCode like #grsecurity to paying customers only and not them such old Kernels.

Speaking of #grsec, I wounder if Bruce Perens actually sued them for allegedly violating #GPLv2 when in fact said license allows #paywalling aka. restricting access to buyers of the product it contains.

@ncommander Eeyupp...

In fact, I had to cross-compile and statically link #Kernel666 for @OS1337 on my #amd64 machine because the entire build toolchain won't fit on my #i486-compatible testing hardware at all!

And even if it were to fit, that would mean a simple build would take WEEKS, not mere minutes.

@SweetAIBelle @starchy @OS1337

I know...

I've to basically redo the entire build pipeline for #mlb because for that to work I've to integrate the #initramfs into the #kernel...

I just hope choosing #kernel666 for the #meme-factor doesn't bite me in the ass...

@starchy does this also affect the toolchain for @linux / #Linux #Kernel?

Cuz I do set #kernel666 and the #initramfs for @OS1337 to be compressed with #xz and whilst it's statically compiled against @musl, I still want to enshure this isn't a #SupplyChainAttack affecting me or OS/1337.

@daniel well, @torvalds already celebrated by releasing @linux #Kernel666...

@jasonnab that is the #linux #kernel for all #ironmaiden fans using #linux #uptheirons #numberofthebeast #Kernel666
