<H2>postmarketOS: Random MAC address generation on Wifi</H2>

<H2>postmarketOS</H2>
|

<P>
|

postmarketOS is an Alpine-based Linux software distribution that makes configuring and using Linux easy on mobile devices.
|

It uses OpenRC for initialization, busybox for core utilities, and can come with any of multiple windowing systems and window managers.

<H3>Random MAC address generation on Wifi</H3>

<P>

By default, postmarketOS will generate a random software MAC address when connecting to a new WLAN network.

You can disable this by adding a NetworkManager rule.

<CODE>emacs</CODE> and <CODE>vim</CODE> come to mind.

A particularly shoddy attempt at <CODE>ed(1)</CODE> is provided by <CODE>busybox</CODE> but will please nobody.
|

busybox's <CODE>vi(1)</CODE> on the other hand is a very useable implementation of the original.
|
||||
<CODE>nano(1)</CODE> is a text editor that's usually recommended for beginners because its controls are more intuitive.

<CODE>ne(1)</CODE> is like <CODE>nano(1)</CODE> but with different superpowers. Not yet in pkgsrc.

A particularly shoddy attempt at <CODE>ed(1)</CODE> is provided by <CODE>busybox</CODE>.
|

A traditional <CODE>ed(1)</CODE> implementation is in plan9ports.
|
||||
I'm pretty sure some later UNIX-based OSes doubled the <CODE>ed(1)</CODE> buffers, there's pretty much no downside to doing so in the modern era but it should be very easy to do yourself if it hasn't already been done (just double some of the array sizes in the beginning of <CODE>ed.c</CODE>).

Unlike <CODE>busybox</CODE>'s <CODE>ed(1)</CODE> implementation, its <CODE>vi(1)</CODE> is very useable.

Emacs ("editor macros") is a text editor with a very powerful Lisp interpreter included.

Lisp is mostly antiquated due to its undeserved lack of popularity.

Linus Torvalds uses his own fork of uEmacs ("micro Emacs"), an Emacs without the Lisp interpreter(?).

X is a graphical windowing system that can be used on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and some proprietary operating systems as well.
