- sluggosaurus 5y agoSomething needn't have 1:1 feature parity to replace something else. I recently replaced my car with a motorcycle.
- edoceo 5y agoAnd if you want a small init (for very custom systems or containers) look at tini
- nine_k 5y agoFor systems that are small but not tiny, one could consider runit or s6.
- 10GBps 5y agoI find BusyBox init perfectly acceptable and small. I use it extensively as init for lightweight containers. It supports just enough init to handle complex or simple config. Does tini offer something better? On quick glance it seems rather limited.
- _wolfie_ 5y ago> On quick glance it seems rather limited. That is the point. It does just what we need with a minimal amount of code.
- not2b 5y agoIt's a fun troll, good for a laugh. The author doesn't intend it for serious use. But you knew that.
- edgyquant 5y agoI didn’t know that nor do I find trolling to be “fun”
- mousepilot 5y agoHas anybody written an emacs clone in emacs yet?
- bitwize 5y agoThe init wars were fought nearly a decade ago. To kids these days, systemd is init.
- vetinari 5y agoMore than two decades. At the time, SysV init was the bloated and bsdinit the lean, "do one thing" one.
