If they come up with some way to make it as hard as possible for the buyers to share these cracked games among them, they could make a lot of money with this.

This kind of thinking is the bane of humanity.

I do get where they’re coming from with Lua. With luci (the web interface), Lua must be installed as it’s a requirement. However, it might be the stripped down version as well (AFAIK). Also, if you know bash & coreutils already, it might be counterproductive to have to learn something new.

I’m just glad that I could help. It’s not fun to get stuck in such technical roadblock.

Yeah I hear you. While I personally never fell like it’s that severe of functional limitations, I am aware on how stripped down busybox is. I’m also aware that some systems lives off 4MiB of flash and 32MiB of memory, so if you ask that question, you might get the answer “yes, it is necessary”.

Meanwhile, if you have the luxury to install bash (or other full-featured shell), then that’s one option to consider. You seem lime you’re familiar with UNIX shell, and Lua is a whole new language. The Lua interpreter that comes by default might be stripped down as well anyway.

Is it better than PinePhone?

I got OpenWRT on my home router and I’ve never had this issue. I guess I just never have that advanced of a use case for its command line.

You’re also free to install bash (or other sh) if space allows.

Hey, A2 would do!

I feel like you’re doing something wrong if you live in a non English country and never get exposed to the local language.

I say we fucked up the moment we existed.

Also, while we’re on the invasion topic: invading Ukraine.

Everybody Dyes in the Ends.

Kinda reminds me of that abandoned shopping center in Nier:Automata

That’s one good joke from one insufferable show.

Daaaaaamn

One would think two years is enough to pick up a bit of the local language.

Alpine comes with busybox. Yes, I’m pretty sure they turn on all the good features.

By the way, on which system you were using that not all the features are turned on?

I know this might trigger you, but… Alpine Linux

Taking the meaning of sneezing your guts out to another level

My gosh…

Iraq fucked you up, huh?

THANK YOU

They gotta survive somehow and people would complain regardless.

Aside from the fact it’s paid product, it seems to me they’re trying so hard to reinvent the wheel.
