Ideas

bad ideas.

a tiny linux distro

• musl, busybox/toybox/*box
  • tin-can
  • alice
  • sabotage
• very thin-client-ish
  • os/1337
• immutable
  • need to look more into OSTREE (no)
  • also: overlayroot
  • NO NIX
• “containerize” extra software/tools
  • maybe OCI conformant
  • minimal containers
  • undertand namespacing better.
• no package manager
  • build system to generate root image
  • another to build “container images”
• will probably have to do a custom kernel
  • look into patchsets for different distros.
  • prefer “linux-hardened” kernel, but getting it to work is a pain.

link aggreg.

• cgi+sqlite
• cgi lang:
  • C? works with sqlite, but docgen is clunky.
  • python? good gen/templating, but boring AF
  • tcl? also good gen/templating, but no support for sqlite on tilde.club
  • shell? easy, but is more clunky than c
    • added tool supports: awk, sed, &etc.
  • perl? better than shell but incomprehensible
  • php? no
• weekly update (fri)
• simple design
• schema:
  • table for each week (1 - 52/53)
    • URL
    • title/name
    • short description/commentary
    • “theme” tag (only one per entry)
  • either week or theme lookup
• easiest: update database locally and sync
• build/write cgi code remote
