Monogon: A Linux userland in pure Go
It looks similar to u-root https://github.com/u-root/u-root, yes, used as part of host firmware. There's a description of u-root in chapter 6 of https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4842-7939-7, too.

Gokrazy – Go Appliances
"A fully Go userland with Linux bootloaders! u-root can create a one-binary root file system (initramfs) containing a busybox-like set of tools written in Go." https://github.com/u-root/u-root

Is it possible to install a linux specific package on osx?
I am trying to build something with github.com/u-root/u-root/pkg/strace, but the issue I am running into is that my dev environment is an ARM Mac, while the package is specific to Unix systems.

Coreutils Rewritten in Rust
I've seem a few attempts. This is just one example: https://github.com/u-root/u-root/tree/master/cmds/core
- u-root – many Linux tools in a single Golang binary, initramfs, and bootloader

Writing an init with Go (part 1)
Great material! This approach is also used in u-root - Golang busybox created for LinuxBoot. I really enjoy working with it so far!

I don't think the cheapest APC Back-UPS units can be monitored except in Windows
I have a 550ES, works fine. Some models will require apcd instead of nut, but I have configs for using Proxmox with both here: https://github.com/rcarmo/ground-init/tree/main/samples

Gokrazy Is Cool
I never had any serious issue with SD cards since the Pi 2B (and I've kept Pis running for years).
Anyway, for those wanting to deploy more generic apps, that is why I initially wrote https://github.com/piku/piku - you still have to flash the OS (and rpi-imager does that with sane defaults these days), but once you're done you have Heroku-like deployments for any language runtime you install on the Pi.
I also have https://github.com/rcarmo/ground-init, a cloud-init like shim that simplifies setting up machines (I'm a big fan of cloud-init, but since Raspbian doesn't support it and Ubuntu on ARM requires some fiddling to make it work I decided it wasn't too hard to roll my own).
(I probably should look into glueing that into rpi-imager, but there is are only so many hours in the day...)
