One thing I give a lot of credit is /tmp.

In most Linux distributions, this folder is basically a "RAM Drive". You can put anything there, and then it's gone at restart. No need to install "RAM Drive" managers or what sort.

One thing I wonder is what would happen if you abuse it. Is there a way to limit how much "space" it can take before you're out of memory?

@HoustonDog and yes, I remember those #WinPE #hacks with rramdisk.sys to make #Windows run from #RAMdisk.

  • In fact, @OS1337 literally does that when booting by loading itself into #RAM...

The idea of using #ROM chips is to have something long-lasting that is designed to be read-only without mechanical parts and not trivial to fiddle with compared to #USB #flashdrives.

Mastodonpetabytes (@HoustonDog@mastodon.world)@kkarhan@infosec.space on floppy systems with no large media, having DOS in ROM also had the advantage of being able to use a single removable media device without needing to ever swap a boot disk back in * the alternative being wasted memory on a RAMdisk where you copy OS files ... with a "SET COMSPEC = R:/" command

So yes, my mission goals for @OS1337 hasn't changed in that I want it to be a #useable #SSH #terminal on a #1440kB #FDD image and having the option to expand from there on...

  • A #Ramdisk-only #Linux that allows one to easily connect to stuff and mount one's /home/ directory is a way to go - espechally when said drive is a fully-encrypted #Network-based #BlockStorage...
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)TBH, I think #KolibriOS is really cool, abeit unlike @OS1337 it's not #Linux based (but still cool tho!)... - Still, it's pretty cool to see other #minimalist #OperatingSystems that try to work on the #1440kB limit!

ビルド時の中間ファイルの書き出しが遅い(＆ゴミ箱がすぐいっぱいになる)ので「RAMディスク使いてえなー」と、パソコン老人会みたいな事を考えたら、Mac で普通に使えた。

@soller xD...

Any now you know why I do want to get another 32GB for my machine if not find a good way to max out my Z600 to 96GB RAM and use AMT to remotely power on/off that monster for @OS1337 compile jobs whilst also putting all the stuff in a #RAMdisk because that'll be faster in terms of #IOPS so my compile jobs don't take half an hour...

@xeraa @fuchsiii @puniko @linux_mclinuxface Case in point, #SSPL is an #AssholeLicense even more than #AGPLv3 because it's sole purpose is to commit #AssetDenial against #commercial users & #hosters.

It's worse than #GPLv3 because that one is lunacy in terms of #IP and espechally #Patents because it's solely ideologically motivated, but yeah...

IMHO everything under SSPL is #UnfreeSoftware in that it's #license terms are worse than a #SourceAvailable license as used by #Tarsnap because they are at least honest about the why...

I really hope not just #GAFAMs like #Amazon with #aws forked the pre-#Enshittification versions under #BSD and start publishing and maintaining these.

#Redis, like #Elastic and #MongoDB have chosen to kick everyone in the groin out of pettyness against commercial hosters, and I hope @Mastodon & @MastodonEngineering as well as @Gargron work hard to replace Redis with a real #FLOSS alternative like #RabbitMQ or even hetter, allow disabling a caching-DB in lieu of helping setup a #Ramdisk with a #PostgreSQL cache-DB on it.

@landley I'll propably have to gut functions out of toybox to get it where I want it to be, but then again the "#CORE" Version of OS/1337 will be very much barebones....

Just the essentials to get #Dropbear #Client to be able to #SSH into stuff, be able to make a #ramdisk and #wget / tiny-#curl everything else (i.e. a system image one could dd onto a HDD/SSD)...

Kinda like an old #netinstall #Floppy...

Ideally configureable to the point that I could also swap #dbclient for dropbear as #Server

While #SDF #Plan9 Bootcamp has been quiet, I pulled out my #MVS #tk4- host and replaced it with #tk5 !

Following the videos of #Moshix on #YouTube I've enabled a few other upgrades!

• Main/work DASDs are now on #ramdisk for faster access with hourly sync to NV storage
• #Networking via #NJE38 to RELAY with other systems
• Upgraded #COBOL and other compilers from Jay Mosley's #SYSCPK
• mfprint ( #Go socket printer) needed a few code updates but is dumping to NFS to make PDFs easier to grab now

#AMD 3D #VCache enables #RAMdisk to hit 182 GB/s speeds — over 12X faster than the fastest #PCIe5.0 #SSD
A RAM disk delivered sequential read and write speeds around 178 GB/s and 163 GB/s, respectively, in #CrystalDiskMark reportedly from a RAM disk running on AMD's #Ryzen7 #7800X3D #CPU. Nemez, a user on X (Twitter), discovered the method. The method is based on #OSFMount, free software that allows you to create RAM disks and mount the image files in different formats.

@kurth granted I do prefer #Live-#Linux - Systems that avoid writes as much as possible and I do intent do enable OS/1337 to support a "boot from RAM" mode where it's copied as #Ramdisk and then started...

Because I do like that feature from @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabs Linux and #PorteusKiosk as it provides a fast-feeling system whilst also yeeting all data afterwards.

Pretty shure @tails_live still wipes RAM manually at shutdown...
