@overeducatedredneck @chadmccullough @admin @netbsd It's pretty easy setting up a #NetBSD Xen dom0 with just two packages needing adding (plus the auto-installed dependencies). You can then add as many domUs as you want if you want full privilege separation. PVH is probably best. You can use a ZFS dataset per VM. It's also easy enough to add #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #Linux domUs

Quite a few of us have worked on improving the How-To

I've been fussing around with Labwc a bit. The out of the box Labwc config on Alpine is very minimal. Labwc uses Openbox themes, but before I go down that rabbit hole I want to explore CoW.

Following the build instructions "bouncing ball" on both the river and CoW Codeberg pages resulted in success with CoW selectable and launch-able in sddm with zero dramas.

Clicking on the empty desktop and getting the minimalist CoW (fvwm!) menu to appear for the first time was a bit of a comfy old shoe moment. Ha.

Thanks River and @thomasadam !

Now the fun, hard, and time consuming part: making CoW look the way I want it to look and selecting tools to flesh out the rest of the desktop.

I did go looking for some of my old fvwm configs in my code repo but I guess I never saved my desktop configs - just my carputer stuff. 2008 was a long time ago. Oh well.

Fun!

Over the past few months, I have found myself under the spotlight on kernel mailing lists. What started as targeted discussions quickly turned into advocating for the kernel community to respect the mostly silent crowd of developers and maintainers who do not want to fully embrace AI usage. It appears this didn't go unnoticed, as shown by Jon Corbet's talk at Kernel Recipes. (1/5)

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/117313610321642907

gawd dammit and I installed Alpine #Linux literally LAST NIGHT and was liking it

Ariadne, bunyote friend [she/her or they/them] » 🌐 2026-09-22
@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems

anyway, here are the results from the questionnaire: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/council/-/blob/master/minutes/2026-08-09-ai-developer-poll.md

a large question I have: the report was authored on 2026-08-09, but was just published yesterday. why did it take so long? why did I have to ask about the report in order for it to be published?

my guess is that alpine will allow AI, despite the position that it should be banned being strongest (but not strong enough to meet a plurality).

same outcome as Debian, basically.

Well I've already caved to using #FreeBSD instead of #NetBSD because it better supports my hardware and I was really hoping I could take refuge with NetBSD's clear stance against LLM sludge. I feel like I've spent so many days just installing operating systems so I might just give up on trying to have a relatively clean #Linux.

#Debian is lost.
The #Linux kernel is lost.
#KDE doesn't have to be.

#RESIST.

I'm off doing something else more fun and that I can actually afford

Fortunately li-ion batteries are cheap. I just wish there were more lithium battery factories out there other than China...

Idk. For all the bullshit China's doing, I'll admit they're doing better stuffs. Alternative RAM, SSD's, making batteries and battery related stuff, and eugh.. open weight models that can be ran locally. Still unethically sourced datasets though.

Come on other countries. Fucking do something. Stop with the powertripping like discord/reddit mods and do some useful shit

Week 3: stat(2) intro

In this video lecture, we meet our new best friend, the 'struct stat'. We'll cover the stat(2) system calls and begin discussing each of the fields in the struct, often by example of the ls(1) and stat(1) commands. In this way, we begin learning more about how the Unix File System is implemented.

(Note that the output of stat(1) on #NetBSD is different from that on #Linux.)

The stat(1) utility displays information about the file pointed to by file. $ stat -r file 16 3 0100644 1 1000 0 -1 1048576 1599768274 1599768274 1599768274 0 4096 2056 0 file The default format displays the st_dev, st_ino, st_mode, st_nlink, st_uid, st_gid, st_rdev, st_size, st_atime, st_mtime, st_ctime, st_birthtime, st_blksize, st_blocks, and st_flags fields, in that order.

Week 2: File Sharing

In this final video lecture segment for our week 2 materials, we take a look at what it means when multiple processes access the same files and what the implications of that are on the syscalls we know. We conclude with a look at /dev/fd on different operating systems, including #NetBSD, #macOS, and #Linux.

I'm considering getting an LTO-8 setup for backup. My home fileserver has about 40-50TB in it, and even with a "never restore" assumption the break even time vs "store everything in glacier deep archive" is pretty reasonable. Anyone gone this route and have opinions?
