Why do people usually suggest and not for downloading files? Is curl more common or something? ⬇️

The same applies for the very dangerous curl | bash, although I have seen my fair share of wget | bashes too... ⚙️

"Wget can be typed in using only the left hand on a qwerty keyboard!"

Still my favorite difference between #wget and #curl

#wget 1.24.5 has been released: https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/

43 weeks since the previous release.

mateng,

@gruber @bagder This might be the killer feature of #wget: "Wget can be typed in using only the left hand on a qwerty keyboard" 😉

It’s bloody 2024, think we can agree on either wget or curl being installed by default on every freaking operating system by now so shell scripts can have a guaranteed way of carrying out http requests?

I mean it’s been about 35 years. I think it’s about time.

I wish https://www.nesdev.org offered a .zip of all its wiki content for offline use.

For now, I'm using wget to download it.

I followed this blog post on how to do it:

and won't hesitate to use a #TextEditor.

Not to mention #nmap. Or #wget. Or a #pencil

Today I learned: if the scp (utility for copying files over SSH) process was interrupted, you can resume the transfer of the file(s) with rsync!

Especially handy with low-bandwidth and unstable connection.

Experimenting with almost forgotten old good stuff can have its own perks!

efraim,

@abcdw
Also instead of running 'wget foo' you can use 'aria2c foo', and if you get interrupted you can continue with 'aria2c -c foo'

#TIL #wget #aria2

I really did underestimate as compression for a :

I was able to just shove the pre-made, full & uncut binary from @landley and still have some breathing room.

Tho I expect this to change once I put a in that has actual capabilities...

This will be interesting for OS/1337.

the complete toybox binary outputting the commands it has implemented

kkarhan, (edited )

@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

kkarhan, to linux

Good news everyone!

OS/1337 now finally boots to a [quite castrated] version of / in glorious 80x25.

Thanks a lot to @SweetAIBelle and also thanks to @landley for nudging me in the right directions...

https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/issues/2#issuecomment-1839511578

kkarhan,

@SweetAIBelle @landley for example I didn't compile the kernel with much driver support and getting at least -based support will eat up about 200kB...

But I'd rather have a system that cat at least pull stuff and/or go from there...

getting work and being able to / stuff is a pivotal step...

I'm trying to play with SH4 CPUs in a few set-top boxes I have. This is difficult as the whole STLinux FTP server is long gone.
If you, or anyone you know has these files:

STLinux-2.2-sh4.iso
STLinux-2.3-sh4-03-11-07.iso
STLinux-2.2-source.iso

or any other STLinux ISO files, please ping me! I want to document this strange CPU and the tools used to put linux on it.

Please retoot for a wider reach!

kkarhan,

@gorplop longterm this should OFC allow for way more, but ideally still very minimalist in that it's just , (either with it's implementation or as seperate program) and to install packages.

https://github.com/OS-1337/spm

https://github.com/OS-1337/pkgs

Basically allowing and thus ...

Call me weird but I think for a lot of "" and a simple and smol Linux should be a good starting point.

Some people may consider writing #documentation to be a lost art, but pruning outdated information from it is clearly not at the top of most to-do lists either. Or, to put it another way, the #wget man page includes instructions on how to export cookies from #Netscape 4.x, the last release of which was issued in October 1998.

YOS!

#Linux 6.4.12 (with networking support!) + #toybox 0.8.10 in 980k using #musl-cross-i686

This is awesome...

Seems like I can fit #dropbear as #SSH client on the 3,5" #1440kB #Floppy as well...

I guess it would've been possible to make #Floppinux for a #720k #Floppy as well... ?

https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/commit/d4a59245953bd7529ee8a3c178841b6114cd7881

kkarhan,

Sadly, #toybox doesn't like to build it's #wget with #SSL / #TLS due to a missing header file...
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/issues/1

kkarhan, to linux

OS/1337 development:
Using the oldest still maintained #longterm #linux #Kernel 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 #i486 systems.

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

And I think Network support and having #dropbear as minimal #SSH client is kinda necessary for #OS1337 to work as a "#terminal" system at all.

kkarhan,

@whitekiba I mean I don't look for computational efficiency....

OFC modern crypto needs a lot of processing power...

But I'd even consider doing a and making a script that 's as a working hack...

Even if that makes it a sort-of "" [ meets ] workaround...

Today in 2000, 23 years ago, we introduced into the world. 7.1 was the first release featuring a separate library for Internet transfers, that curl was then made to use.

PHP adopted it almost instantly to become their default built-in transfer engine, which greatly helped the library "take off".

libcurl was not an instant success but has gradually grown more popular over time. Over 23 years.

Today we estimate 20 BILLION installations worldwide.

kkarhan,

@bagder also #curl is way more versatile and useful than #wget and is available as a #standalone #binary:

No need to fiddle with shit: #ItJustWorks!

benjedwards, to random

What's the best piece of software ever written?

kkarhan,

@DarthYoshiBoy @benjedwards also #curl just works and not just like #wget in pulking stuff but also #POST & #PUSH!
