I might recommend [NomadBSD].

I don't know if it's actually still active as a project, but it's a persistent live USB image for #FreeBSD with an xfce DE. It's pretty nice to get your feet wet without actually "losing" your main machine. :D

I know the FreeBSD guys are working on a full [KDE installer]. I'm not sure what the status is, at the moment, but they're definitely making good progress.

Somewhat late to the party, I've learned that boxybsd is no longer in operation.

I'm really sad to learn of this.

A few years ago, it was invaluable to me in keeping #gameoftrees portable as it allowed me access to a wealth of machines.

Does anyone know why boxybsd has ceased, and are there plans for a successor at all?

Hey #Unix #Linux #BSD

I've currently got weak, incel /bin/sh on my FreeBSD server

Should I switch to Bash, or Zsh? Why?

Free liqour and canes over on the right there.

So, my move to a BSD isn't going as quickly as I would like, and I wanted to get off of Debian since the whole vote to go pro-AI debacle. I figured moving to a Linux distribution that has a very strong anti-AI policy would be the right choice until I can get a BSD installed properly on my desktop or extra laptop. More than a year ago, I tried @elementary. It's an awesome project but I could never get my workflow working with the desktop environment. Most definitely not the fault of Elementary. I just have a weird workflow. Earlier today, I decided to give the latest release another try. I'm going to keep it on here and actually work with the desktop environment, instead of giving up after a day.

The project is staunchly anti-AI. And that is important to me. I know the Linux kernel is tainted but unless we want to fork the kernel from a version prior to Torvalds allowing the use of AI, we're just going to have to deal with it. I don't like it, but I'm no developer and who in the world would want to take on a forked project as big as the Linux kernel? Yikes!

Anyway, I'm really liking how I have Elementary setup on my ThinkPad T14 and I'm going to keep using it for now. Who knows? It might keep me on Linux with one piece of my hardware even after moving to BSD.

As many of you know, I've been getting back into running BSD after 20 or so years away from it. I'm wanting to get NetBSD running, mainly because of the no-AI policy, but I've been struggling and its frustrated me a bit. Well, to be honest, quite a lot. To get BSD running on my desktop, laptop, and small server, and so I can move away form Linux, I'm going to go ahead and get FreeBSD up and running on my hardware. I know that they have a questionable AI policy but this will get me over to BSD and then I can move from there. Plus, FreeBSD has some really, really good documentation to get me started.

Okay, tomorrow I will be back to work trying to get @netbsd installed either on my desktop or laptop. I took a break for a week but I really need to get this done. After 30 years, I think I am done with Linux. I'm struggling to move on, but I know it's the right thing to do.

For my small home server, I'm not sure what to install on it just yet. I know that I can get FreeBSD going rather quickly but there's the AI issue. Would NetBSD be a good option for the server, as well?

RE: https://mastodon.sdf.org/@ParadeGrotesque/117226122230983789

I'm one of those folks that's looking into NetBSD "for reasons" and I'm finding new joy in computing. I don't have it running on my laptop or desktop just yet (not for lack of trying), but I have been learning a lot and having a lot fun in this journey. I am going to donate because not only is the project deserving of our support, but learning more about NetBSD, and BSDs in general, has sparked new excitement in computing for me. I've been a Linux user for more than 30 years and AI has pretty much ruined most of what made me fall in love with Linux and many Open Source projects.

Do mini PCIe hardware security modules or standalone cryptographically strong pRNGs exist? If they do, where can I get one? NetBSD is complaining about low entropy (laptop from 2011) & suggests I keysmash, use an entropy file, or get a USB pRNG. I would prefer to have all of my USB ports free.

I have no idea where to find such a thing & I can't even find USB HSMs besides the one that YubiCo sells. The closest thing I have found is a bunch of TPM2 chips with SPI headers on them & I don't think I have any free SPI connectors in the laptop. For now I'll use an entropy file but I would rather do something better like using a proper RNG device.

I think people watching these tags might know more than I can find with a search engine. Thank you.

Crazy thought: On X11, you could totally do a gradually changing day-and-night bitmap wallpaper using a #1Bit xbm wallpaper and manually, gradually setting the foreground and background colors with a script throughout the day. Basically, 1-bit color with palette manipulation

With the right image, that would look pretty badass, IMHO.

With Apple phasing out AFP in macOS 27 and Time Capsules officially reaching end-of-life, it's time to move network backups to proper SMB.

Unfortunately, for of my university mail account, I have to use Microsoft Outlook (I know, I know! Luckily, I’ve set up a redirect, so I hardly ever have to use it).

Tonight I tried using Firefox on NetBSD, but “Something went wrong.”

When I changed the user agent and set it to "Firefox on Linux", everything works fine, no problems, nothing "was wrong"!

In short, I think “Microsoft loves open source" but not NetBSD 😆.
One more reason to keep using it 😈

(Forgive the corny joke, I know MS doesn’t actually love open source at all 😆)

Mission accomplished, it seems!
I must have messed something up during "sysupgrade etcupdate" because my user was no longer in the "wheel" group, but luckily it wasn't a big deal (thanks usermod 🤣)

Then I updated pkgsrc with "cvs update -dP"  and edited /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf to change the release number.

I hope that’s correct!
The update of all packages was successful, so I’m assuming it is.

Is it normal that "pkgin upgrade" re-download and reinstall all packages, even those that are already the same version?

I'd say the overall experience has been very positive.

P.S. i3status gives me an error if I use UTF-8 "icons" (it worked with 10.1), but it's not really a big deal.

I know I can use OpenSSL or GPG but I think it's better and more confortable to encrypt the full drive...

Today is a special day! It is the BSD Cafe's birthday!

Exactly three years ago today, I was rather timidly announcing this project to the world. It was an idea that had already been in my mind for some time, but had not yet become reality.

Three years later, I am proud to say that the BSD Cafe is sailing at full speed towards the uncertain horizons of the modern world.

We are here to talk about BSD, Open Source, projects, conferences, freedom, pizza and tiramisu, but above all about passions, interests, discoveries and knowledge. We are here among friends who share interests and passions, without geography or borders, apart from those defined by mutual respect.

Your Barista is more energised than ever.

During the past year, he had to retire one of the services, BlendIT, our Lemmy instance, but he also added several new ones: Journal, based on WordPress, Billboard, running on NodeBB, the Delta Chat relay, and more.

He also had to withdraw from BSDCan, with enormous regret, but he is now ready for EuroBSDCon. And for other new things that will gradually follow.

For example, here is a small preview: I have been experimenting with MeshCore.

My dream? One or more BSD Cafe services that do not use the Internet at all. I already have a few ideas, so I shall not disclose anything more for now 😉

And I will never grow tired of repeating that the BSD Cafe is a success because of you.

I am just the Barista, but a place like this is nothing without the friends sitting at the bar. And the friends of this bar are wonderful people who, every day, help make my days calmer, happier and more interesting.

So thank you for these three years, and thank you for being here.

We shall continue sailing together towards the future, with smiles on our faces and passion in our hearts.

I think the time is right to follow Torvalds advice 😅 and finally "upgrade" my laptop to NetBSD.

I was trying to figure out whether to stick with stable or current, and also whether I should encrypt the entire disk or just /home and then the swap partition via rc.conf (if I understand correctly, that’s possible, right?).

Current is "solid" enough for daily use? Any advice? It's not my first time on NetBSD but I'm not an expert 😆

If you are looking to financially support a #BSD, #NetBSD has the most humble budget of the three big ones and is rather behind on its yearly goal.

I think it's a good and reputable place for your donation dollars, and yes, I have put my money where my mouth is.

@rl_dane and #9front is #BSD? I like this decade!

@peteorrall

You have to remember that in #BSD, the base OS isn't included in that count. So even X11 and all of its related programs aren't included there. The base system has like a dozen packages are so, but the packages are huge tarballs and they're not included in that count.

Sorry for the word-soup-y dictation text. 😄

🐧 Als plötzlich Schluss war...

Vor wenigen Tagen besuchte ich wieder einmal OpenOS.at – eine Webseite, die ich seit vielen Jahren immer wieder gern genutzt habe. Statt der gewohnten Startseite erschien jedoch nur noch ein kurzer Hinweis:

„Diese Webpräsenz wurde am 26. Juni 2026 (nach 12 Jahren Betrieb) eingestellt.“

Damit endet nach zwölf Jahren ein Projekt, das für viele Linux- und BSD-Interessierte eine feste Anlaufstelle war.

Das erste Bild zeigt die frühere Startseite von OpenOS.at – mit aktuellen Distributionen, Nachrichten, Statistiken und Veranstaltungen aus der Welt freier Betriebssysteme. Das zweite Bild zeigt, was heute davon übrig geblieben ist.

Warum OpenOS eingestellt wurde, wissen wir bisher nicht. Vielleicht gibt es persönliche Gründe, vielleicht fehlte die Zeit oder Unterstützung. Vielleicht fand sich einfach niemand, der das Projekt weiterführen wollte. Solange es keine offizielle Erklärung gibt, sollten wir darüber nicht spekulieren.

Mich bringt das jedoch zum Nachdenken.

Viele von uns nutzen täglich freie Software, Webseiten, Foren oder Dienste. Wir freuen uns über aktuelle Informationen, hilfreiche Programme und funktionierende Server – oft ganz selbstverständlich und kostenlos.

Doch hinter all dem stehen Menschen.

Menschen, die ihre Freizeit investieren. Menschen, die Server betreiben, Inhalte pflegen, Fehler beheben, Updates einspielen und Fragen beantworten. Oft über viele Jahre hinweg und meist ehrenamtlich.

Gerade Projekte, die von einer einzelnen Person oder einem kleinen Team getragen werden, leisten Erstaunliches. Gleichzeitig sind sie aber auch besonders verletzlich. Wenn die Motivation nachlässt, das Privatleben mehr Zeit fordert oder gesundheitliche Gründe dazukommen, kann selbst ein langjähriges Projekt plötzlich enden.

Vielleicht erinnert uns das Ende von OpenOS daran, dass Open Source und freie Communities vom Mitmachen leben.

Nicht nur nutzen.

Nicht nur konsumieren.

Sondern auch einmal Danke sagen, Fehler melden, Dokumentationen schreiben, anderen helfen, einen kleinen Betrag spenden oder selbst mit anpacken.

Denn genau davon lebt unsere Gemeinschaft.

Ich möchte mich deshalb heute bei allen bedanken, die im Hintergrund dafür sorgen, dass freie Projekte überhaupt existieren – egal ob Entwickler, Administratoren, Übersetzer, Autoren oder Community-Mitglieder.

Ihr macht das Internet ein Stück besser. ❤️

#Mastodon tip: There is a way to use only part of a word as a hashtag!

For example, you might want to say the word “toots”, but use the hashtag “toot”.

To do this, place a U+2060 WORD JOINER before the “s” in “toots”. Example: #toot⁠s.

If you're using #X11 or #Wayland (i.e. #Linux or #BSD desktop), you can add the following line to ~/.XCompose to give yourself a keyboard shortcut:

<Multi_key> <w> <j> : "⁠" U2060 # WORD JOINER

Then just type Compose, then W, then J.

SkiftOS : https://skiftos.org/

It's not a *NIX!

"skiftOS isn’t POSIX. It’s a fresh API and userland inspired by Plan 9, Haiku, and Fuchsia. Familiar ideas, different contracts."

Problem: the GPL is poison. It has polluted Linux and the Linux userland software so that only large corporations can afford to monetize it. BSD License or MIT License would be much better allowing small players to produce unique work without then being forced to share their source code with the AI hegemony racket.
