Tiny Core Linux: a 23 MB Linux distro with graphical desktop

Re: Tiny Core Linux: a 23 MB Linux distro with graphical desktop
#102I've used many of these small Linux distros. I used to have Tiny Core in a VM for different things. I also like SliTaz: http://slitaz.org/en , and Slax too: https://www.slax.org/ Oh and puppy Linux, which I could never get into but was good for live CDs: https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/ And there's also Alpine too.
Wondering if it would be a good idea to setup a VM with this. Setup remote connection, and intellij. Just have a script to clone it for a new project and connect from anywhere using a remote app.
It will increase the size of the VM but the template would be smaller than a full blown OS
Aside from dev containers, what are other options? I'm not able to run intellij on my laptop, is not an option
I use Nvim to ssh into my computer to work, which is fine. But really miss the full capacity of intellij

Is that actually tiny core? It’s _likely_ it is, but that’s not good enough. > this same thing came up a few years ago Honestly, that makes this inexcusable. There are numerous SSL providers available for free, and if that’s antithetical to them, they can use a self signed certificate and provide an alternative method of verification (e.g. via mailing list). The fact they don’t take this seriously means there is 0 ch…
I usually only install on like a Raspberry Pi or VM for these toy distros Are any distros using block chain for this ? I am used to using code signing with HSMs
I’d install it as a VM maybe,
> are any sisters using blockchain
I don’t think so, but it’s always struck me as a good idea - it’s actual decentralised verification of a value that can be confirmed by multiple people independently without trusting anyone other than the signing key is secure.
> I am used to code signing with HSMs
Me too, but that requires distributing the public key securely which… is exactly where we started this!

Which is served from the same insecure domain. If the download is compromised you should assume the hash from here is too.
There is a secure domain to download from as a mirror. For extra high security, the hash should be delivered OOB like on a mailing list but it isn’t
Where is that mirror linked from? If for the HTTP site that’s no better than downloading it from the website in the first place.
> for extra high security,
No, sending the hash on a mailing list and delivering downloads over https is the _bare minimum_ of security in this day and age.

> puppy Linux, which I could never get into
In what way? Do you mean you didn't get the chance to use it much, or something about it you couldn't abide?

Isn’t this what GitHub remote envs are (or whatever they call it)?
Never really got what it’s for.

Modern UX trends are a scourge of excessive whitespace and low information density that get in the way of actually accomplishing tasks. Any project that rejects those trends gets bonus points in my book.
I sympathize, but I feel compelled to point out that the parent didn’t say that the interface had to look like a contemporary desktop. In my opinion, I believe the Tiny Core Linux GUI could use some more refinement. It seems inspired by 90s interfaces, but when compared to the interfaces of the classic Mac OS, Windows 95, OS/2 Warp, and BeOS, there’s more work to be done regarding the fit-and-finish of the UI, judgin…
With CorePlus, you have the the choice of some 10 GUI environments. I prefer openbox or jwm.

#109Does it run docker?
With some modifications, yes. Boot2docker and boot2podman were based on tinycorelinux.

JetBrains has Gateway which allows connecting to a remote instance and work on it.
