Why is #systemd hated so much by #OpenBSD, #FreeBSD, and #NetBSD users? It does everything it needs to for me and the suite fits my and many other's use cases. I've heard of it having bloat from another user on Twitter but I've also heard that this bloat is to ensure things are done properly. Not sure what to think of things.
BSD people, in the 80ies, were absolutely relaxed while coding (open the link and read). 🤣

Awesome, someone made a #NetBSD port of my #usenet server WendzelNNTPd (https://cdpxe.github.io/WendzelNNTPd/), see pkgsrc: https://pkgsrc.se/wip/wendzelnntpd Thanks a lot for that! #nntp #retrocomputing I expect version 3.0.0 alpha to be out in Q2/2024.
Sigh. Big G has decided little #NetBSD is dangerous. I will inform the security team of this failure, to communicate.

@polishdub with #NetBSD, you may be able to https://www.netbsd.org/ports/emulators.html
helping someone on the #netbsd irc channel install netbsd onto a g3 imac (something i did around 20 years ago)
I know this may sound like a slight but it isn't, but #OpenBSD feels like retrocomputing with modern technical capabilities and security advancements, many simply leading the way.
I say retrocomputing because hardware to run it is limited (Thinkpads and other laptops/desktops where you're certain the drivers exist for it, especially graphics and wireless cards). I have an X1 and it works amazingly. May get a Framework laptop in 2024 for it to have something that's more metal, sexy, and less fragile.
Also retrocomputing because typically software available for GNU/Linux or even FreeBSD is lacking. I have a growing list of things I want to work on new #ports for, hopefully this weekend.
BUT security and correctness in code are important to me, so certain sacrifices/compromises must be made for the greater good... and let's get real: I spend most of my time in a terminal or browser anyway. I'm mostly lacking programming libraries and #Mudlet I need to port over (I started doing it for #NetBSD a while back in WIP #pkgsrc, IIRC, need to find that, too.
Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, yesterday a new episode of the BSD Now podcast was released, and it's titled after my recent article, which is being read and discussed: "Old NetBSD Server."
You can find the podcast here: https://www.bsdnow.tv/525
The original article is here: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2023/08/27/that-old-netbsd-server-running-since-2010/
Last one for the night. Compare and contrast. The terminal window's titlebar is drawn by Window Maker, because it's XFCE4's terminal application. The file manager window behind it has its controls drawn by AppKit. I'm not saying one is objectively better or worse than the other, that's not a thing anyone can say with credibility, but I am saying that it is much easier to keep the window borders consistent with the UI theme when they are drawn by the same library -- that's why GNOME moved to client-side decorations ages ago.

#Suntember musing.
Got a Sun Netra X1 for just 50€ from a private seller in Rome. He offered to deliver it to me personally.
The server came with Solaris 8 preinstalled, but I wanted to have a modern system on it. In lack of an optical drive, I set up a serial console to the Sun LOM, and took up the challenge of installing NetBSD over network, via DHCP/RARP and NFS [1]. (See screenshot).

🎉 Celebrating two months since launching the BSD Cafe! 🎉
Exactly two months ago today (20th July 2023), I released the #Mastodon instance of BSD Cafe, effectively announcing to the world the idea behind BSD Cafe. The response was much warmer than expected from both *BSD enthusiasts and the entire #Fediverse community. This overwhelming support motivated me to keep pushing forward, expanding the Cafe with new services.
We've introduced a wiki (https://wiki.bsd.cafe - currently a site describing the Cafe services, but in the future, it will also host tutorials, tips, experiences, etc.), a Miniflux server (https://miniflux.bsd.cafe - for personalized RSS feed reading), and recently, a Matrix server (https://element.bsd.cafe - for BSD Cafe users to chat in the Lounge, discuss various *BSD topics or interact with the world due to the decentralized nature of the protocol).
BSD Cafe will also be mentioned in the upcoming FreeBSD Status Report (https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/files/12642300/Introducing.the.BSD.Cafe.project.pdf).
User numbers are growing weekly. Some stay active, some not as much, but one thing remains consistent among all: a passion for technology, free operating systems (especially *BSD), and a desire to collaborate and grow together.
So, a big thank you to everyone who contributes daily to make BSD Cafe vibrant and growing, those who offer advice, participate in polls, and believed in us these past two months. Without you, all of this wouldn't make sense.
Stay tuned! 🚀

Okay, I believe that the code-based Argentum theme, in combination with the minimal hooks added to libs-gui, is now at feature-parity with the modified libs-gui fork.
Tomorrow, if I have time, I will go over the changes again, see if anything needs polishing up, before submitting a PR upstream.
The gist of the PR is the the hooks added change nothing for any existing app or library, cause zero disruption, but enable this theme to do what it needs to do. I would, of course, be open to better ways for it to do what it does, but the notion is what it is.

Informal survey for folks who use BSD Unix:
1. Are you aware of any variety of BSD that has converted its base filesystem layout such that either /bin and /lib are symlinks to /usr/bin and /usr/lib respectively (possibly with several more such symlinks), or, the other way around, /usr is a symlink to /?
2. Are you aware of any variety of BSD that has concrete plans to make either of the above changes in the foreseeable future?
3. Are you aware of any variety of BSD that has considered and *rejected* making any such change?
I'm asking these questions in my capacity as /de facto/ maintainer of Autoconf. Your answers will help me document how to write third-party software that works correctly regardless of whether /usr is separate from the root.
[For the record, Autoconf already does, and will continue to, support both of the above altered filesystem layouts as well as the traditional one. The only exception I'm currently aware of is that configure scripts may malfunction or fail to start if /bin/sh does not exist at all, which I hope everyone can agree is a pathological case.]
Please boost for reach. Answers accepted either by replaying to this toot, or by email (zack at owlfolio dot org). It is helpful if you can provide references to release notes, mailing list discussions, etc. to support your answers.

EuroBSDcon 2023 starts September 14th and goes until the 17th.
(There are some exciting OpenBSD developer talks this year!)
I want user-mode #linux, that can run ontop of foreign OSes. And just work in self contained imagefiles instead of disks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User-mode_Linux
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_Linux
So you could launch a linux distro as an app on any kind of OS. Without the overhead of a VM, and in places where VMs are awkward. Like on an android phone.
I want this bad.
Really want the #NetBSD equivalent I think, but ill settle.
UGH. Finally got rid of that damnable icon in the application menu. Also note that the system menu now shows a little FreeBSD logo. I thought it was cute.
Anyway, still need to figure out how to make the application name bold. I'll get there.

Software forks: how do YOU feel about them?
Want to help out Agora but can't code? We could use a good logo -- and I'd pay a reasonable fee for it.
Send me a sketch or the like with your idea, using the text "Agora Desktop" and "Powered by FreeBSD", along with your bid.
Want to help but can't code or draw? Subscribe to my Patreon, so I can pay people for things like logos and theme design, and justify even more of my time working on Agora.

Needed a dynamic status page on some #embedded #pcengines #netbsd boxes, so thought I'd see if a #perl #nginx #fastcgi #daemon (with a pidfile & 'start', 'stop', status' etc) was quick to setup
Turns out: "yes"
#!/usr/pkg/bin/perl
use Daemon::Generic;
use CGI::Fast
socket_path => '127.0.0.1:8999',
listen_queue => 50;
newdaemon( 'progname' => 'statusd');
sub gd_run {
while ( $q = CGI::Fast->new ) {
process_request($q);
}
}
process_request() {
my $q = shift;
# code here
}
If I want to do some simple setup tasks for #NetBSD machines (install packages, add a user, etc.), should I just write a shell script to do that? Or use puppet? Or something else? What do folks use?

🗿 That Old NetBSD Server, Running Since 2010
➥ @stefano
「 I now understand why I'm not – and will never be – rich. My first (and last) employer complained about my preference for stable and reliable solutions, equating it with lesser profits. According to him, unstable solutions requiring frequent maintenance meant more revenue. To me, a job is well-done when it works consistently, not when it demands constant fixes 」

As #EuroBSDcon is approaching, the question arises: Who of you will attend? (#FreeBSD #NetBSD #OpenBSD #DragonflyBSD )
Friends of #BSDCafe and #Fediverse, happy Sunday!
The article I published this morning on the old #NetBSD server is gaining some traction, which pleases me greatly.
#NetBSD is a top-notch operating system and deserves more recognition.
In the interest of fairness, I'd like to diversify the operating systems for the services of BSD Cafe, aiming to utilize them all. This will mean moving from using just jails to full-blown VMs. I'll ponder over this in the upcoming days.
Meanwhile, today we're touring our beautiful Ferrara, and it's the Ferrara Buskers Festival, the street performers' festival. It's still quite warm, but more bearable today. Wishing you a continued pleasant day!
