2018 Mac mini was already being weird. Then macOS Tahoe dropped support. Usually I'd want NetBSD. But the only option was Linux, and it's pretty darn okay.

        Kind of silly but I added support for the Wii's AES engine to today. The Wi-Fi stack can use it along with the cryptographic disk driver cgd(4).

        A quick test of cgd(4) on a USB flash drive in AES-128-CBC mode shows 4.4 MB/s with the software implementation and 15 MB/s with hardware acceleration.

                      Hey 🚩community! There's been discussion over the years about whether the NetBSD project should have its own unique mascot (separate from the general BSD Beastie).

                      I outlined a proposal for one back in 2021, including some concepts:

                      What's the general feeling today?

                      Yes, we need a unique mascot!:40
                      No, the flag/Beastie is enough.:43

                          NetBSD đang triển khai bubblewrap (công cụ sandbox từ Flatpak) qua dự án GSoC 2025, tăng cường bảo mật và cách ly ứng dụng trong hệ thống. Việc tích hợp hỗ trợ user namespaces, mount namespace và seccomp để hạn chế quyền tiếp cận hệ thống, tạo môi trường an toàn cho ứng dụng. Dự án cũng cải thiện hệ thống quản lý hóa chân trong NetBSD.

                                  That's not the Bourne shell.

                                  That's the Almquist shell, first posted to comp.sources.unix in 1989 as v19i001 to v19i008. was at the University of Washington.

                                  The Bourne shell was released a decade earlier, and was copyrighted AT&T work.

                                  No current BSD has the Bourne shell in base, because of the 1980s AT&T copyright problems.

                                  and have the Almquist shell as sh and has one of the Korn shell variants.
