with a minimal init script i can also run emacs for the true Emacs/Linux experience (i don't use emacs, so i can't make the kernel panic by exiting)

I may have built the most minimal linux system in terms of running processes so far. Who needs an init system or anything really if you can just run htop as pid0? I would also think this may be the most secure system as it doesn't contain any other binaries than […] [Original post on chaos.social]

Did some x-ray of a PCB today to figure a weird connection between two networks out. Now it seems that the PCB wasn't manufactured with the final version of the kicad project to begin with. I love having to work with stuff others made in a half-assed manner.
