The title of this post is a riff on Brent Simmons’ latest post, which I encourage you to read. He contrasted his current experience with Mac and iOS development with that of UserLand Frontier that he helped develop with Dave Winer in the early 1990s. Balder Bjarnason linked to this on Mastodon, and added a useful additional thought: This is something I’ve had a hard time convincing young devs of: substantial portions of the field of software in the past used to be better in multiple ways....| Rubenerd

I'm thrilled to share my excitement for EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb! After an incredible experience last year and at BSDCan, I can't wait to reconnect with the amazing BSD and open-source community. This year, Jeroen and I are even presenting our talk, "Liberating the social web using *BSD". Come join us!| The BSD Cafe Journal
Remember when turning a computer on meant instantly jumping into code? No bloat, no distractions—just you and a prompt? That’s the experience I’ve been working to bring back with the EndBOX: a small, resilient, nostalgia-packed, all-screen computer that boots straight into the retro-inspired EndBASIC environment you already know. And today, six months after its inception, I’m excited to formally show you the first working prototypes—though they are still rough and need refinement. L...| EndBASIC

This report was written by Diviyam Pat as part of Google Summer of Code 2024. This summer I worked on NetBSD's kernel test framework to cover root device discovery and root file system selection. This area of the kernel is not very well documented and program flow has to be determined by reading the code. I would also like to tell you about my early interactions with the project, let me start with project findings.| NetBSD Blog
This is the sequel to the previous post FreeBSD on a ROCK64 Board. Long story short, I had the chance to resurrect 4 single-board computers that were collecting dust in my office. I decided to install FreeBSD on one of them and it was a success. This time I will show you how and why I installed NetBSD on a second ROCK64 board. Let’s add connectivity to the FreeBSD board The process I described in the previous post was fun and I learned a lot.| Simone Vellei Blog
I started using GoToSocial (the fast, fun and small ActivityPub server) in 2022 on OpenBSD. Because it was nearly the only OpenBSD-native ActivityPub options at that time, because it was light and because it could use the SQLite database engine . I stopped using it when it was marked BROKEN because of incompatibilities between modernc.org/sqlite and OpenBSD kernel. This is when I switched to Mastodon and stop using it. Until recently, when I discovered there was a pkgsrc option available.| www.tumfatig.net

In 2010, one morning, a client called. My task was to set up a new complex server within a tight two-day window. Given the constraints, I opted for my top choice at the time for such tasks: NetBSD and Xen. To my astonishment, over 10 years later, the server was still up and running perfectly| IT Notes
