I thought these functions are part of the #linux libbsd package, is that not the case ? I would think if you add libbsd as a dependency that would remove a lot of "OpenBSDisms". From what I have seen on #linux, many pkgs do not care if they have lots of dependencies, what is one more small library :)

Heute wieder mal einen alten Laptop mit Linux wiederbelebt. 🐧

Das Ding wäre sonst im Elektroschrott gelandet – jetzt läuft es schneller als vorher mit Windows.

Manchmal ist die beste Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie einfach: frische Software drauf, neues Leben drin.

Danke an alle, die freie Software bauen, damit wir Hardware nicht wegwerfen müssen. 💚

OK, I have a very important question about #Linux desktops: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ISO SIZES???

Seriously, I remembered when 1GB live desktop would the considered enormous and 2GB was unthinkable.

I do understand that because #Gentoo leaves a lot of developer tools and libs on the system our "unstripped" images are fairly larger - so for example out desktop download is 4.5 GB.

Ok, but wait a second, why is then the #Solus ISO size 4.1 GB? Theoretically this would mean that only <1GB is taken by development libs.

Allright, but why is then the #Ubuntu desktop ISO 5.9 GB?! I would guess that for Ubuntu it has a problem of redundant libs for SNAP pkgs and it makes all this bloat up so much.

This needs to be studied in-depth.

As I continue my journey for a better desktop environment, I found some new apps for music and reading RSS.

NetBSD turns 33 this Sunday! 🚩

To celebrate 33 years of clean code, portability, and zero bloat, Challenging the rest of the fediverse to help hit this year's funding goals.

Also do drop a screenshot of your uptime, uname -a, or a pic of the weirdest hardware you've got running NetBSD right now. (RockPro64 NPF routers or Pi's hooked up to retro CRTs highly encouraged).

Throw some money at the developers keeping the real UNIX alive:

Louder so #Linux maintainers will hear

@raster @darth

The thing with Linux is that it's neither a democracy nor a meritocracy, but actually, functionally, an oligarchy. :(

Whoever has the money to dedicate programming resources gets to determine what the #Linux user space will look like, and more often than not, they resort to REALLY FORKING UNDERHANDED tactics to get their way when there's pushback and meritocratic resistance.

The BSDs are more like somewhat democratic (to varying degrees) monarchies. A limited number of people get to make the decisions, like it or lump it. But there isn't so much cloak & dagger crap.

32 years ago I started working on my first browser, Opera. I left Opera in 2011, but two years later I co-founded Vivaldi. Thus I have been making browsers now for 32 years, with a short break there between 2011 and 2013.

I have always felt that this work is important and no less today than before as more and more of you see the importance of alternatives to Big Tech.

Vivaldi is a European company with headquarters in Norway, servers in Iceland and team in Norway, Iceland, across Europe, Japan and a couple in the US.

We try our best to adapt to your needs. We build powerful browsers, with a lot of flexibility.

I welcome you to try us out and share with your friends!

The image is a humorous tech meme. In the foreground, an older man dressed in religious attire (wearing ceremonial robes and a red cap) is holding a broom and appears to be performing a blessing or exorcism ritual. He is facing a large row of black server cabinets in what looks like a data center. The servers are tall, neatly aligned, with cables and metal piping visible above them. Behind him, a cameraman is filming the scene, suggesting this is some kind of staged or documented event. At the bottom of the image, there is a caption in a Linux-style command format: /etc/init.d/daemon stop The joke is that instead of stopping a “daemon” (a background service in Unix/Linux systems) using a command, the person is literally trying to “exorcise” it like an evil spirit using a religious ritual.

I've been running two degraded ZFS arrays for the last few weeks (Debian host).

Yeah, I know. Whatevs.

One of the pools was basically "scratch" backup space and one of the spindles died (breaking the utility of the mirror). Pulled the drive, wiped the remaining, put back in service with minimum fuss as a single drive. I'll throw another spindle at it when drive prices drop again.

The other array had the SSD cache die and it's been chugging along fine ever since. Not a big deal, but from a "experience" point of view it "feels slow" like a working md array.

New SSD arrived in the mail so that'll get sorted sometime today/tomorrow.

So, what's this post about?

Linux peeps, if you are thinking about md arrays, just stop, take the time, and throw 'yer leg over the zfs horse. It's worth it.
