I wonder if the reason why I never got a NES when I was a kid, was not about money but rather the fact that the old man was a IBM mainframe/AS400 guy that never even gave UNIX a chance as a serious computer system. #Nintendo #IBM #UNIX

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/

Fresh from the @bsdcan program committee - submissions are coming in, but we can still take more!

@E Enlightenment 0.27.0 Release #Linux #unix #RunBSD https://www.enlightenment.org/news/2025-01-11-enlightenment-0.27.0

All of those things are absolutely wonderful and make many of todays software developers look ... spoiled? What I want, however - and what I love doing - is making this old hardware do stuff its makers never dreamt of, things that are as far removed from their time as possible. That's why I will, if #NetBSD permits, run bleeding edge BSD on a 286-on-486steroids, and why I run web+ftp+irc servers (yes, multitaskign) on one 286 and multiple BBS nodes on a 386 - like one used to do, of course.

I cannot state often enough how amazing it is that there's still software developed today that will work under such constraints.

ftp deprecated. okay. what about scp? that is deprecated too. 🤡

#unix #linux #openssh

Alt...

Both ftp and scp are now deprecated, and the command suggests using sftp. When you type sftp, the Terminal window displays the command line, which helps secure file transfer protocol (SFTP).

Wonder if I’m ready for new adventures. #OpenBSD 7.6 ran without any great issues. The iwx driver worked like a charm after getting its firmware, but maybe I should start looking into #NetBSD - it’s about time to get acquainted with the whole family #BSD #RUNBSD #UNIX
