EuroBSDCon starts tomorrow!

Oh, looks like there is one problem with using cash register as a server

The Intel Atom N2800 doesn't support VT-x, so I can't use nvmm NetBSD hypervisor. Looks like the only one option to sandbox some services, which should be exposed outside, is to use chroot and sandboxctl: https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/sysutils/sandboxctl/

@solene You write about "#OpenBSD extreme privacy setup" on your website. Are you by any chance aware of anyone doing something similar about #NetBSD?

Cleared the bench to attempt open brain surgery on a very relic VA Technologies Pentium II Linux box, er, suitcase. Huzzah, #NetBSD 10 CD boots (thanks for making the installation image fit in 700 MB).
Needs an old drive, even has a SCSI card.

Dear friends of BSD Cafe, I've just approved the 500th user for this instance.
That's right, the 500th friend has just joined the BSD Cafe's Mastodon instance.
This calls for a celebration!

@phix Do you, by any chance, have a hint to where I might find some reading material on #privacy and #anonymity when using #netbsd as a daily driver?

Toot from pkgsrc/www/firefox-143.0b9 under NetBSD/amd64-current... #pkgsrc #NetBSD

@shmok I use #openbsd on one, #netbsd on another, and #alpinelinux on a third - with or without #freetube ;) so where do I put my vote :)

@kzimmermann I would like a #RaspberryPi 4B or 5B but I have doubts about #NetBSD on them.

Telescope is now available on pkgsrc (below you can see it running on SPARC). With a few patches [1], it builds and runs fine on Solaris too.

Thanks @op@bsd.network, @thomasadam@bsd.network, and others for contributing to this project.

Adventures in porting a Wayland Compositor to NetBSD and OpenBSD by Jeff Frasca

https://youtu.be/oo_8gnWQ4xo

I'm typing this in my Xuake Wayland Compositor on OpenBSD.

I started this journey on the NetBSD 9.99.x branch and ended up having to dig into the guts of wscons, mesa, libdrm, the kernel drm subsystem, the AMDGPU driver and more. I have a couple of very small, but hard fought patches in the NetBSD kernel. It's not over yet, either. I still have a few bugs around the compositor shutdown process and a lot of integration work to be able to hope to have other people try this out.

Topics to cover in the talk include (but are not limited to):

History of Wayland and other background info

How your graphics stack and driver is organized and actually works

The actual porting journey on both NetBSD and OpenBSD

A Demo! I should be able to show it running

Current status, future work
