How web bloat impacts users with slow devices:

@danluu The Itel P32 is a 1 GB RAM Smartphone. That's far from usable in 2024. That was pretty low in 2016.
Those tests look like they are create with a view from 10 years ago...

@kkarhan The fuck ist los mit den plötzlichen Cryptoboosts? Ist dein Account okay?

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan Ich weiß ja nicht. Also bei Crypto reagier ich allergisch.
Was dein OS angeht beobachte ich das tatsächlich recht genau und judge aus der Ferne. An sich ganz cool aber der Usecase erschließt sich mir noch nicht so ganz

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan Hm naja aber dafür müsstest du den Anspruch das alles auf ne Floppy zu kriegen droppen. Die notwendigen Tools und Treiber sind schon recht fett

@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan Also ich würde obsolete Technologie halt einfach nicht beachten. Disketten sind halt seit grob 20 Jahren nicht mehr relevant.Es ist einfach absolut nicht mehr zeitgemäß.

I started a fursuit project a while ago. At this point, I got the head base done and sewn the face together. Next up is gluing it in place.

Ihr wollt mehr Explosionen? 💥

Ob Doseneintopf, Mikrowelle oder Silvesterraketen: Hier fliegt alles in die Luft.

Einige Folgen der einzigen Sendung mit ordentlich Doppelwumms gibt es für kurze Zeit in der . Wie immer gilt: ! https://www.zdf.de/show/nicht-nachmachen/nicht-nachmachen-1-104.html#xtor=CS5-433

Feuerwerkskörper, die an einer Wäschespinne befestigt sind, um diese zu drehen, werden entzündet. Es gibt viel Rauch. Die bunten Farben erstrahlen mäßig hell, denn es ist mitten am Tag. Bernhard Hoëcker und Wigald Boning gehen in Deckung, als ein Teil des Feuerwerks sie nur knapp verfehlt.

@ZDF Oh boy. Endlich vernünftige Qualität und nicht irgendwelche ollen Aufnahmen von Youtube

I found @fuchsiii 's dream , I guess...

@kkarhan @fuchsiii I have a device like that with modern hardware.

SwiftOnSecurity, to random

In high school I port-scanned the entire district network internally and sent direct prints to district HQ printers complaining about their lack of segmentation.

@SwiftOnSecurity 15 years ago as an apprentice i scanned the entire company network and triggered a warning on every computer because they installed a hidden VNC server on every machine. 300+ machines. That was fun.

OS/1337 development:
Using the oldest still maintained did yield about 25% size reduction for it's binary...

The good news: I basically have a new size record with the same settings: 551kB for the Kernel and 402k for toybox - both targeting systems.

The bad news: I've got neither network nor USB support at all!

And I think Network support and having as minimal client is kinda necessary for to work as a "" system at all.

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan I will have a look at this tomorrow. At a first glance i would maybe go with dietlibc and try to build busybox with it. Or maybe uclibc. musl is quite huge compared to uclibc

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan btw. you can find me on telegram with my Fedi Username

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan Tandy? No way. Don't try it. It won't get you anywhere. Booting from a floppy will be impossible too. Targeting 4-5 MB could be feasible. But below that will be unusable. The minimal TCP stack alone will need about 800 kb

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan The big question is: Do you want a proof of concept or something remotely usable? I could patch out some things and get the kernel + busybox (static build) down to about 2 MB. But that thing wont run anything except for specially built software

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan Drop the i486. Go with generic x86. The 486 has some weird workarounds that will eat CPU cycles

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan Haven't used XMPP for like 10 years. And i am not going to install another messenger for a single person. Sorry

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan I can push that into 4-5 MB. But that will still be slow af.

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_compiler_patch This will help you. It enables more optimization options

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan Haven't been active on IRC either. My bouncer should be active on some networks but i haven-'t connected for many months

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan xz is smaller than gz. But you are chasing a goal that isn't important at all. You are completely destroying performance

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan If thats the one single thing you want go with a 2.6.32 or even older kernel. It's a single application running. There are not security considerations. To get to that size you had to disable everything security related

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan I will have a look at your scripts. I should be able to get something running.

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan On a floppy? No way at all. Not even remotely

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan Just SSH working should be easy on an old kernel. But nothing more. Modern Crypto needs a lot of space

whitekiba,
@whitekiba@squeak.social avatar

@kkarhan busybox has ssh and for init you can use ash scripts
