Went deep into the rabbit hole and discovered this - UNIX Edition Zero:
Among the papers of the late Bob Morris I have found a
Unix manual that I don't remember at all--a draft by
Dennis Ritchie, in the style of (but not designated as)
a technical report with numbered sections and subsections.
Finally found a great case for my
Radxa Rock 5B, an excellent SBC on which I am developing my #Hypervisor which, hopefully, one day will run a bunch of #RISC_OS Virtual Machines together with #Linux (which already works) and #bsd . This bad boy is 8 cores 8nm, NVMe and 16GB of RAM
#riscos will run on a VM which gets translated from AArch32 to AArch64 JIT, but I need to finish the HAL that supports DeviceTree before even beign able to finish the Hypervisor integration with mambo... ☕ ☕ ☕ 💻

@cuddle nah ok - honestly, technically nothing in that case. It’s just that I haven't used #Linux for more than 12 years for personal usage anymore. I was always happy to say:
„nah, I don’t use Linux“
„do you use Windows?“
„nah, my last #windows was NT4.0, I only use #BSD“
But yeah, of course I have to deal with #Linux on a daily base within corporate things.
Maybe I will especially cause of this spend time and efforts to quickly change back the host nodes to BSD. Or deal with Linux… time will tell

Welp. Apparently this Raspberry pi 3 B V1.2 is kaput. It goes wonky after heating up resulting in bizarre ethernet address then dying completely. The 3V rail continues to work so it's not that common failure. I'd guess maybe the poly fuse. I'm not overclocking it either. Oh well.

#Linux doesn't have Jails, but they are roughly equivalent to system containers (e.g. #NixOS containers). This scenario is also handled by the hidepid option since it restricts users view of the process table to only processes they own (including containers).
nosuid, noexec, and nodev are the defaults on /proc, so there is likely a more idiomatic way to express this

When I see a #BSD referred to as "Unix-like" in the same vein as #Linux, it rubs me a bit the wrong way.
Linus never called his kernel "Unix". And the "NU" in GNU is literally stands for "Not Unix". But "Unix-like" is apropos.
I understand the UNIX trademark and certification requirements. But calling the direct downstream work of Thompson, Richie, Joy, Kernigham, McKusick, "Unix-like" feels like calling the Pope "Catholic-like".

I miss Frost OS (spelled, FrostOS). Sadly, DMCA knocked out FrostOS.
FrostOS allowed you to natively run BSD, Linux, Apple, and Windows apps all on a single system. As you can easily suspect, it violated so many trademarks and copyright claims.
Frost OS was the operating system that truly showed what people were capable of if people truly worked together and there was far less bureaucratic red tape.

We nerds can argue all we want about our #Linux and #BSD machines, but I just helped my mother-in-law migrate from an old #iPad running an outdated version of #ipadOS to a new one. We answered a couple of questions, registered her fingerprint, provided a password, and some three minutes later her life was migrated to a new device and the old one showed a dialog to be wiped for resale or recycling. Exemplary. No IT background needed, just read on the screen and do what it says.

@vermaden -- #jails are more efficient and configurable than Docker et al. But they aren't as easy to spin up and share (yet). I work with devops folks and 90% of them have never heard of FreeBSD/jails. They think I'm real-weird for my fascination with #BSD. The few people that have heard of jails think it takes too much to administer them. I get a bit of "containers should be cattle [docker], not pets [jails]". I say keep calm, continue on. Where it matters, BSD and jails are the better choice.

For a Linux user to try out a BSD is to reap the great benefit of traveling to a foreign country: you not only learn new things, but you also see old things in a new light.
You might even decide to move there. 🙂
I vividly remember when, less than 20 years ago, they used to ask me, "Why do you want to do this with Linux|Free|Open|NetBSD when it can be done with Windows? Everyone uses it!" Today, the question is similar but different: "Why do you want to do this on Free|Open|Net|DragonflyBSD when it can be done with Linux? Everyone uses Linux for this!"
The problem is precisely this: if everyone is doing it, do we really take it for granted that it's the best solution? I stay informed and have everything in production: all the BSDs and many Linux distributions, choosing the best tool each time, in my opinion, to achieve a result.
Why people always feel the need to conform to everyone and everything, and continue to decide what's better based on trends, personal beliefs, or social conventions, will forever remain a mystery to me.

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the wider #Fediverse, the time has come: you can now sign up and contribute to the wiki! 📝
My hope is that it will evolve into a go-to resource filled with a wealth of information on our favorite BSDs, including guides, walkthroughs, and more. It aims to compile the myriad of articles and information currently scattered across blogs, how-tos, and videos.
As previously announced, we are using DokuWiki. I've set the main pages to read-only and established macro-categories: Reviews, Tutorials, and Users. The first two categories are further divided into subcategories (DokuWiki namespaces), one for each BSD. Additionally, every user has their own private namespace (to create articles, take notes, etc.) and a public page to add a personal introduction or whatever they wish.
Registration is open, but I ask for your assistance in content moderation since these "open" wikis can sometimes attract trolls and defacers.
I hope the Wiki will become a useful, powerful reference tool for many of us. I'll also soon create a page about the BSD Cafe project, detailing our goals, vision, etc.
We're waiting for you at https://wiki.bsd.cafe
As always, let me know (@stefano) your thoughts and how we can improve. I've already got two more steps in mind for additional services but still need to ponder over them... stay tuned!

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
The "new" DokuWiki is now up and running at https://wiki.bsd.cafe. For the time being, it's nearly a direct copy of the old one. Let me know your thoughts and if all tests prove successful, I will open up registrations as soon as I have set up the initial sections.

Dear friends of the #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
The first building block of BSD Cafe (namely the Mastodon instance) was announced less than 4 months ago, and our roadmap has always included some core services.
With the spirit of constructive information sharing in mind, we've always intended to keep the wiki open, ready to host tutorials, guides, reviews, or anything related to our favorite BSDs.
We initially chose wiki.js, but it scored poorly on Google Pagespeed Insights and didn't fare much better on GTMetrix. Also, the initial page load time was over 6 seconds from Europe, which led me to put a CDN in front—however, this partially broke the wiki's functionality, turning it almost into a static site.
In recent days, I've revisited the issue and realized that Wiki.js is a great tool but perhaps not ideal for our purpose. Node, Postgres, etc., and many features like comments are "expensive."
In keeping with the philosophy of using tried and tested solutions, I've decided to avoid MediaWiki (which I haven't installed in over 15 years) and instead choose a much more efficient, database-free solution that I've come to appreciate over 15 years of use.
I'm referring to DokuWiki. The project is almost 20 years old, actively developed, and has never given me any surprises. It's simple, fast, and privacy-friendly.
So, I've converted the current Wiki to DokuWiki and will soon replace the existing one at https://wiki.bsd.cafe (I'm still undecided about the theme - but that can be changed later). The performance scores are good, and so is the functionality. The original editor is a bit barebones - but we know how to exit vi, so we won't be daunted by the lack of a WYSIWYG editor, right? Well, don't worry! I've also installed CKGEditor, so you can choose between the classic DokuWiki editor and the fancier CKGEditor.
I'll soon set some guidelines for content publication and open up registrations.
Our goal is to create a shared knowledge base for all BSD systems that can become an extension of the excellent documentation of various BSD systems.
Stay tuned for the official announcement!

Sitting patiently whilst Julie re dyes my hair aka regingering reading about #FreeBSD of all things. I've read about the differences between #Linux and #BSD and now I'm onto the ports system and OMG I'm nearly tempted to give it a whirl on my trusty old test laptop. :freebsd:
How many folk have if any have switched from Linux to BSD and if you have please tell me why and what you prefer over the former ?

One of the common critiques I often read about BSD systems is: "It doesn't run well on my laptop." I get the frustration: my own FreeBSD installation on an old MacBook Pro has been a series of headaches, whereas Fedora installed effortlessly with few remaining issues.
But should we judge an OS by how it runs on our personal laptop?
In my experience, BSD systems have caused far fewer issues on my servers compared to other platforms like Linux, despite my greater experience with Linux. On one server, for some reason, Linux would kernel panic hours after booting. FreeBSD runs without a hitch. If my experience were limited to that one server, I might falsely conclude Linux is terrible, which I certainly wouldn't claim.
I believe there's a right tool for every job. If your hardware is BSD-compatible, the choice is clear. Otherwise, instead of faulting the OS, it’s better to find the best option for your hardware or, if possible, contribute to improving support.

HIVEMIND: Can anyone suggest a simple CLI launcher for #Linux, #BSD or #HaikuOS? It'll end up on Haiku, but I should be able to port a simple CLI app without much hassle.
I need something that can just show a list of apps from a config file, preferably from folders.
#Bash would be handy because it won't need cross-compiling for Haiku. C or C++ with #ncurses should also be doable.
Basically, I need something very lightweight to launch #MAME sessions. A choice of EPOC16 ROMs and SSD images.
@tayledras @noiq And yes, I think a lot of that stuff is extremely #bloated because if we need #Virtualization for seperation, there are many other options ranging from #BSD #jails to user privilegues [usually #Apache2 / #httpd runs as daemon/service under it's own user with near-zero privilegues!] and even #VMs can be done with #QEMU / #KVM more elegantly...
Seperating #Compute and #Storage does make sense - but only for medium to big businesses with their own Systems.

Dear #OpenBSD people, is there any noticeable performance improvement I can get in adjusting limits in sysctl.conf please? I’ve read various man pages: sysctl(2, 8), sysctl.conf(5), options(4) and seen people adjusting them in various posts, e.g. https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/openbsd-on-a-laptop#initial-configuration and https://i-bsd.com/openbsd-first-steps . But I can’t find anything that describes how to calculate them. This comment says they're only needed in very specific cases: https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/exm01m/how_to_calculate_shared_memory_limits_and/ and there’s normally no point.
