We need something like a website where people who use NetBSD on desktops can register their usage/use.
Some troll posted on a NetBSD chat that the system is a meme, and that made me reflective.
Okay, don’t judge me—I know that NetBSD is a multi-purpose operating system, but having some system information about desktop usage would be good.
I'm pleased to announce that my company, Prodottoinrete Group SRL, will be a BRONZE SPONSOR of EuroBSDCon 2025.
The organizers do a great job managing everything, and the least we can do is offer a (small) contribution to help the conference maintain the current standards, which, in my opinion, are extremely high.
So, a big thank you to the organizers, the speakers, and everyone who contributes to making this event so great.

Preparing the next nodes in new locations for my @BoxyBSD project. Grab your free #VPS instance running #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD and many other BSD based systems.
PS: Looking for upstream sponsors in new zones in Asia & Oceanic regions. #IPv6 only (/48 is enough, RIPE delegation, 2x 1G upstream)
I'm starting to prepare the ideas for the talk I'll give at OSDay (https://osday.dev/agenda) next month. One of the issues I often face is explaining to people that just because I appreciate and prefer using the BSDs doesn't mean I'm AGAINST Linux. I never liked the "distro wars" even twenty-five years ago because I’ve always thought that, in the end, we’re all heading in the same direction.
The message I’ll try to convey isn’t that I don’t want to use Linux, but that the BSDs are more suited to the ways I use them, and why, in my opinion, they can also be useful to those who will attend. In other words, I’ll suggest giving them a try.
In an extremely polarized world (even in tech), it probably won’t be easy.
Just before the Covid emergency, I was offered a "challenge" talk (by a Windows sysadmin I know). People, he said, love this kind of format. I declined. For me, it's just about using the right tool for the right purpose, not a war.
Dialogue, not battle.

💻 Me: "Alright, it's probably time to order a new laptop for conferences. Nothing too expensive, but powerful enough. Maybe something customizable. I think about it for a few days… and decide: I'll get a Framework!"
🔗 Opens website…
🎤 Framework: "Hey! We're announcing a new laptop on February 25th!"
🤦♂️ Me: "Well… guess I'll wait and see. But… will I get it in time for the March 21st conference? 😅"

About a month ago, while talking with a colleague who had experience only with Linux, he mentioned that he knew of the BSDs but had never "had the courage" to try them. I suggested he give them a shot, reminding him not to think of BSDs as "just another Linux" but as entirely different operating systems. Focusing on security, I recommended OpenBSD - also mentioning HardenedBSD, sure it would pique his interest.
A few hours ago, he called me about something else and confirmed that for weeks now, he's been using OpenBSD on his laptop (disk encrypted), FreeBSD on two servers, and NetBSD on an embedded device at home. He plans to experiment with HardenedBSD and DragonflyBSD in the coming weeks.
However, he did have one complaint: we've known each other for five years, and I never encouraged him to try this earlier! 😀

I’ve talked before about how I think NetBSD is “boring”, and that it’s among the highest forms of praise I can give tech as a sysadmin and architect. But I’ve never elaborated why that is. Boring tech is mature, not old https://rubenerd.com/boring-tech-is-mature-not-old/
Made some good progress with the Wii drive interface today. Here's a commercial DVD video playing (with sound!) on the Nintendo Wii running #NetBSD.

got a notif to write an #introduction with hashtags so uh
hi! I'm new here. #adhd #trans girl or whatever. former member of cohost before it shut down. I blog about #retrocomputing, #lowtech, and #linux stuff
currently seeing what OSes my 2004 laptop can run. also wanna port my favorite games to old consoles, so I'm learning C and 6502 assembly
here's a photo I took weeks ago of my laptop running #netbsd (modern Linux distros hate my laptop)
see you round! i'll probably just be lurking
