About

Dropbear is a relatively small SSH server and client. It runs on a variety of Unix platforms. Dropbear is open-source software, distributed under an MIT-style license. Dropbear is particularly useful for "embedded"-type Linux (or other Unix) systems, such as wireless routers. If you want to be notified of new releases, or for general discussion of Dropbear, you can subscribe to the relatively low-volume mailing list. With a small memory footprint suitable for memory-constrained environments, Dropbear can compile to a 110kB statically linked binary with uClibc on x86 (only minimal options selected) Dropbear server implements X11 forwarding and authentication-agent forwarding for OpenSSH clients. The server, client, keygen, and key converter can be compiled into a single binary (like busybox) Features can easily be disabled when compiling to save space. The multi-hop mode uses SSH TCP forwarding to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts in a single command.

About

fx is a tiny, open, native coding agent harness and CLI written in Zig, optimized for research, performance, and embeddability as part of larger systems. Its design focuses on minimalism across the system prompt, tools, feature set, memory use, and a 6 MB binary, with an interface intended to feel closer to a Unix shell than a heavy terminal IDE. fx cold starts in microseconds and performs no unnecessary work or I/O before accepting input, making it suitable for programmatic use, resource-constrained environments, and agent sandboxes. Developers can start it inside a project and ask it to read files, search code, run commands, make changes, execute tests, and stream tool calls as they happen. The core is model- and provider-agnostic, supporting local models, gateways, direct provider access, and cloud inference. It is context-efficient by design, using a minimal system prompt and toolset to reduce token overhead and improve time to first token.
