  • Is the author the same person that talks about Inclusivity, and then posts screencaps of other people they are having disagreements with to twitter, for their followers to sneer at? [1]

    Is this the same person who uses the departure of a developer as a reason to "fix" a community [2], when the mailmap of one of their projects shows they are referring to their own faked departure? [3]

    This stuff doesn't make the Alpine Linux project look good. I totally see that its very rude to attack a person like this, but i think its abusive behavior and needs to be called out.

  • stage0

    A set of minimal dependency bootstrap binaries

  • It's great to see that more people are still working on this and that people have an interest.

    If you are interested in this kind of thing, then you'll also want to check out LibreBoot[1] and Bootstrappable Builds[2]. The latter is working with stage0 [3] and mes [4] to bootstrap Guix (among other projects.) All of that is further down the chain, but we'll need it if we want to build trustworthy systems.
