Hrmpf rescue system, built on Void Linux

Yeah first thing I thought. It also sounds like it overlaps in functionality. I've used GRML for rescue stuff for many years. But this might be interesting too. One thing I'd love to have is to preload since defaults into the image. Like launching an SSH Daemon with a given private key so I can fix a system without a monitor

Project name looks like it was inspired by Grml :-)

In German "hrmpf" is an exclamation and expression of frustration, with a possible connotation of acceptance that something has indeed gone wrong. So it’s a very apt name for a rescue system :)

FYI this ships with zfs modules precompiled, if you're into that sort of thing. https://github.com/leahneukirchen/hrmpf/commit/dcc35b75676f3...

That is really useful. Having to build an archiso every time I accidentally pacman to a kernel version that breaks zfs is annoying. I’ve only done it twice but still.

The percentage of consonants in this word induces serious amounts of Angstschweiß :)

That's because it's not an actual word, it's more like a cartoonish onomatopoeia.

I'll be taking particular note of this rescue system on the basis of the identity of the person who has created it. They're someone I've come across more than once in the open source world and definitely have respect for. I'd also recommend mblaze which is the primary tool I use for reading mail.
