OK, off to bed, tomorrow is going to be back to the gym, followed by some #NetBSD 10.1 installation on the spare HP PC I have at home.

Good night everyone! Try to carry on without me and continue being excellent to each other. Don't let the bastards grind you down!

I switched to git for developing #NetBSD #pkgsrc and wrote up how!

I've just launched the version of my blog with a BSD-based theme. The main colors are inspired by the BSDs, and badges will appear if a post includes one (or more) BSD in its categories. I've applied a few fixes (there are more to come), but it's already fully usable.
The site is designed to be navigable even without images or JavaScript, and can be used with text-based browsers. The only feature that requires JavaScript is the search function, which runs locally in the user's browser for maximum security and privacy.

For those who have already visited the site in recent days, you might not see the new theme correctly as some CSS parts could still be cached in your browser. I’ve set long expiration times for the CSS, so browsers may not notice the changes right away.

I had fun creating a BSD-based theme for my blog. It's promising; I just need to fix a few graphic glitches, but I think I'll put it up on the blog tomorrow. And the colors are red, yellow, and orange - I don't think I need to explain why!

Finally getting around to upgrading my #eeePC to #NetBSD 10.1 :)

I'll probably put #Emacs on it after it finishes upgrading. With #EXWM, Emacs has become my favorite desktop environment. :)

Running #NetBSD on a Sun Java station.

Very neat!

Just submitted my proposal for a @netbsd talk at @EuroBSDCon in Zagreb

Well the plot thickens...

Leaving the #Slackware qemu VM running for a couple of days and the situation is now inverted:

Slackware VM: 0.2% CPU
#NetBSD VM: still at 1.1% CPU

Host CPU load: 0.15, 0.11, 0.08 (which is perfectly acceptable)

I think @Uilebheist was right when he mentioned the CPU would level out due to the differences between the Linux and the NetBSD kernels.

Today's project. Get #NetBSD installed on the #RiscPC on some form of storage. Requires a different Ethernet module as the i-cubed EtherH is not supported #retrocomputing

Variable success with #NetBSD on #RiscPC. Had to use -8 because of toolchain issues. Install kernels kept panicking seemingly randomly, I realised this was when it was trying to beep because of a certain keypress! Distribution kernels panic, but building my own got me to multi-user. Had to use spinning disk, SATA to IDE converters led to lockups. Crucial programs abort (syslogd, ssh-keygen) and I can't login except with rsh. I'll build my own and try again

#NetBSD dmesg can be found here:

Funny to consider that a VM running #Slackware 15 uses around 11% of host CPU, while the exact same VM (CPU / RAM / HDD / etc.) running #NetBSD 10.1 uses only 1.1%

I am now going to try and stop a few services under the Slackware VM to see if I can bring the CPU usage down. But I suspect the real culprit really is the kernel.

I think I am done with SD cards. Should I go with NFS root for #NetBSD?

RunBSD. very fast feel to NetBSD

@frameworkcomputer I hope it is a toaster. So that it can run #NetBSD. Of course.

Also, if wondering if #NetBSD runs on the MeLE Quieter 4C #FanlessPC with Intel N100, the answer is yes, but... my scp witness test was quite slow: 55.6MB/s - compared to other OSes. This makes it not eligible for my overall HomeLab tests.

Anyway, the dmesg is there: https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi?do=view&id=8255

That #GoToSocial 0.18.1 running on #NetBSD via #bhyve for #OmniOS seem to work in a consistent way 🥳

PS: don’t mind the void. That was me messing up with the OmniOS upgrade 😣

When I launched the #BoxyBSD project my goal was to create a welcoming, free space for beginners to dive into BSD-based systems and learn at their own pace. I’m a huge fan of free and open-source software, so I naturally gravitated toward Matrix for the chat setup right from the start. But honestly, #Matrix isn’t always the smoothest ride - especially for newcomers. It can get a bit tricky, and that’s the last thing I want when I’m trying to make people feel at ease. My focus is on helping beginners get comfortable, encouraging them to experiment, and letting them discover the value of #BSD (like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, etc.) for themselves - not throwing them into something that might feel overwhelming.
That’s why I decided to add a Discord server alongside Matrix. It’s just simpler for a lot of people, and I want to meet folks where they’re at. But I’m not a fan of scattered conversations across platforms - it drives me nuts - so I’ve bridged the main channels on Discord and Matrix. That way, we’re all still chatting together, no matter which spot you prefer - simply one thing: #RUNBSD!
