I have uploaded the slides for my #EuroBSDCon2025 #ebc25 talk about creating products with #NetBSD (and why I chose NetBSD in the first place)

This was a while back.

Monitor of a DECstation 5000/200 with X, running some xterms and the Netscape web browser. The foreground xterm shows cvs updating NetBSD pkgsrc. The background xterm shows me on either IRC or ICB - don't remember. xearth is populating the background.

If you're paying attention, you may have noticed my recent #NetBSD bug updates often have a single "." on its own line at the end. That's because gnats works differently from Sendmail and ends the message with Ctrl+D 😡

Dear #NetBSD friends, it is possible using #dropbear on NetBSD as it #Linux, to unlock an #encrypted disk at boot even if remotely?

Thanks... 🙏

Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment

Week 3: Union Mounts and Whiteout Files

One of the file types we've encountered are those of type S_IFWHT, so called "whiteout" files. But what the hell is that?? Let's illustrate! We describe the concept of union mounts and see what happens when a file in the upper layer is removed while the same file still exists in the lower layer: a whiteout file is created to cover up the lower file.

If anyone is interested in what I had to say (and hand out) during my talk, the QR code at the end leads to http://anduin.net/l.htm - go grab your copy in any of three formats: Bootable floppy, zipped TheDraw files, or PDF (boo!).

I met too many awesome people to count, much less remember the names of everyone, but I truly hope those of you who want to reach out will do so. My DMs are open ;)

The social overload from this weekend will quickly turn into the pain of missing the company of this extended family. Can't wait to see you again in Brussels - or at any time before that if you visit Oslo!

I can barely resist the urge to ask,

"What's UNIX?"

https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1nsuw2t/comment/ngou32d/

The important thing is, I'll find it funny.

@lproven go on. Dare me to ask the question. You can refrain from answering, then eat popcorn whilst things unravel.

Devinez quoi ? J'ai fait des devoirs cette semaine xD #virtualisation avec #NetBSD et #NVMM, tout de suite sur https://twitch.tv/ahp_nils ! #sysadmin #devops #twitchfr #twitchstreamer #TwitchStreamers #BSD #qemu

Now: Christoph Badura on reproducible #NetBSD dev environments #EuroBSDCon

Martin Husemann is presenting NetBSD net80211 Renewal - ETA and why we are not there yet

Now: Martin Husemann explaining about the #NetBSD Wi-Fi driver renewal #EuroBSDCon

@kzimmermann Upgrade #NetBSD. I start each version with a fresh installation. I've tried to update a few times and it has never worked for me. A fresh installation is fast but it takes a while to build packages afterwards.

Heh, I hadn't used my #NetBSD machine in a while, and turns out that a whopping 295 packages were in the waiting list. Time to roll them out!

I wonder if it's time to run a full sysupgrade or something? I remember back in FreeBSD I would do a freebsd-update every two weeks or so, but looking at the docs seems to hint that this should be done only after a release change (or at least that's what I understood?)

@justine

@DianeBruce could also speak to this. I know I've seen her at just about every bsd conference that I've been to.

Yes! “New” ThinkPad X230 I bought as a writing machine is booting #NetBSD :’)

Even the chicklet/island keyboard is still so wonderful to type on.

Next steps: Wi-Fi, and either my tmux “terminal GUI” or maybe I should try ctwm!

NOW: Harold Gutch on #NetBSD for the Nintendo #Wii
#EuroBSDCon

Made it to #EuroBSDCon in time for lunch! :D

And I did not miss the _whole_ #NetBSD devsummit. Now listening to riastradh@ demo Mercurial and disrupting the demo by adding conflicting commits 😜

You should know #pkgsrc 2025Q3 was released yesterday:
