Barry Kauler ☛ Static utilities compiled by Yocto embedded in woofQ2
woofQ2 is the new build system for EasyOS. I introduced woofQ2

Kernel compiling was added:
https://bkhome.org/news/202508/kernel-compiling-now-in-woofq2.html
EasyOS 7.0+ is built with Devuan/Debian Excalibur/Trixie .deb packages; however, some packages from Scarthgap are used, that were compiled in Yocto/OpenEmbedded -- my github fork here.
The EasyOS initrd has some statically-linked binary utilities, linked with musl, and these were also compiled in Yocto/OpenEmbedded.

Niko Matsakis: Symposium: exploring new Hey Hi (AI) workflows [Ed: Rust People are currently playing a role in Hey Hi (AI) hype and Ponzi schemes, which is worrying (like Mozilla and GAFAM)]
This blog post gives you a tour of Symposium, a wild-and-crazy project that I’ve been obsessed with over the last month or so. Symposium combines an MCP server, a VSCode extension, an OS X Desktop App, and some mindful prompts to forge new ways of working with agentic CLI tools.
Symposium is currently focused on my setup, which means it works best with VSCode, Claude, Mac OS X, and Rust. But it’s meant to be unopinionated, which means it should be easy to extend to other environments (and in particular it already works great with other programming languages). The goal is not to compete with or replace those tools but to combine them together into something new and better.
