#GSOC2026: Port the Enlightenment desktop environment to NetBSD

｢ Enlightenment desktop is a low on resources desktop environment without sacrificing on visuals. NetBSD support for this BSD-licensed desktop has been left a few years behind. The aim of this project is to port the newest version of the desktop to pkgsrc and commit upstream portability fixes when necessary to ease future versions updates for NetBSD ｣

Trying out the newest #Qgis build on #NetBSD 11.0. Minor hiccup with the authentication part yet to be addressed.

Just a little reminder on littleFedi's efficiency

The instance https://rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it - with my user @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it - has been running for over a month on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD.
Under normal operation, it uses 58 MB of RAM, including caches. And it shows no signs of slowness!

My Raspberry PI Zero W, powering the rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it instance. It's powered by the USB cable coming out from the switch.

On #resumeFromDisk, how does the handling of open files (for example in plain text editor, graphics software (drawing, photo editing)) work? Am looking of surface, not-in-the-weeds, explanation.
#ELI5 #explainLikeIAm5

Am most interested in handling on #Linux distributions (mainly #Debian, #CentOS) & #FreeBSD, #NetBSD.

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.

I don't really want to switch this off, but it's no longer in use and is just sitting taking power. It ran our phone system for many years.

It used a zaptel driver I blindly ported to #NetBSD from #FreeBSD which worked first time when plugged into 4x PSTN lines:

GSoC Port the Enlightenment desktop environment to #NetBSD

https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/gsoc2026_enlightenment

The Guide. Of course i started reading the documentation after the fact 😆
But NetBSD is pretty well documented. At the end of the day it was oxwm that caused me issues, tonybtw forgot some dependencies in his tutorial. Whatever. I enjoyed NetBSD enough to have a second go tomorrow and add what i want to add. Sway, dwm, lxqt: a lot to pick from. Decent sw selection available. More later!

When you literally look NetBSD up last night and Tonybtw releases a video on how to set it up, with his own oxwm.
You know where that Saturday is going 🤣

With a slight detour road trip delay, should have most #NetBSD hosts at 11.0, so back to building #QGIS which is now at 4.2.1 ish

...
-- SFCGAL not enabled - disabling bindings
-- QtGamepad not enabled - disabling bindings for derived classes
-- Ctest Binary Directory set to: /usr/pkgsrc/wip/qgis/work/QGIS-final-4_2_1/cmake-pkgsrc-build/output/bin
-- Configuring done (21.0s)
...

@netbsd I get the impression that the "log" option is buggy & does not work reliably yet.?

So ... can haz #ZFSEverywhere instead?🥺👉👈
