belajar netBSD, ane sewa VPS di Neva sementara untuk 1 bulan ini.

rencananya ane mau migrasi dari #freebsd ke #netbsd nantinya.

kenapa harus sewa vps dan ga pakai vm di local? karena ane mau coba nindes/nimpa linux dengan netbsd. Kalo di local ga perlu nimpa langsung install.

@alexshendi @cstross Isn't it difficult to make #NetBSD work on a #RaspberryPi 500?

I always found this secmodel_sandbox solution for #netbsd quite cool

https://github.com/smherwig/netbsd-sandbox/

Unfortunately it seems it never got adopted into the kernel itself, but it's kind of easy to compile it in yourself luckily since it's netbsd.

Thank you for the correction

I shall do that immediately

Here on Debian {in MX Linux} I had to add the following tools since the machine is not configured for programming

bmake

`apt install bmake`

bsdtar

`apt install libarchive-tools`

then success

I pressed ^C to enter the server to add the needed passwords for the user and root

#NetBSD is Discipline. 🚩

I wonder if #smolbsd can run on bare metal #netbsd

Me: I'm gonna self host a mail service on an old laptop, with my *very* residential and dynamic IP address. What could posibly go wrong?

Spamhaus: *checks ISP and IP range* You are not supposed to do that.

Outlook smtp server: "550 5.7.1 Get lost!"

Gmail: I don't like you. But it's only one mesage, and DMARC is good: You go to spam folder.

spambots: LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS! 👹

Besides some test mesasges, 100% of the traffic is spambots sending invalid commands trying to find a vulnerability, I assume.

In the linux world I feel confident with my monitoring tools, iptables and fail2ban. But in NetBSD everything is new to me. So I have to be extra careful.

Fish presents his plan to the other mages. "...with the guards neutralized, we get the goods and escape through the tunnel. Any questions?" The usual mages are quiet. Girl says: "Nope!" Fish notices a weird rabbit he's never seen before in the audience. Fish: "Who the heck is that?" Grendel: "I'm Grendel!"

Alt...

Girl: "Yeah! That's Grendel!" Penguin: "He's always been here!" Beastie pretends to have bunny ears with his fingers. Fred: "Grendel is the most awesome plan9 mage!" Daemon: "If I had three wishes, I'd wish for Grendel to be my best friend three times!" Girl: "If you ever died, master, I would want Grendel to adopt me!" someone: "Me too" Grendel: "Aww, you guys!" Fish: "Are you all insane?!" Glenda shakes her head angrily.

smolBSD — build your own minimal BSD system

｢ smolBSD is a meta-operating system built on top of NetBSD. It lets you compose your own UNIX environment — from a single-purpose microservice system to a fully-custom OS image — in just a few minutes ｣

Looks like latest #NetBSD update broke the #Borg backup program.

With latest update the py312-msgpack was updated to the 1.1.1.

But the #BorgBackup (even the master branch) support only 1.0.3-1.1.0 versions of py312-msgpack

Is there a way to have nginx calling blocklistd in NetBSD?

Like, when it returns 444 or 403 statuses?

@ricardo Oh, YES — it is very frustrating . I met this problem while installing some services to my home #NetBSD server.

Usually, the project page states that there is a good software for multiple platforms. Then I open documentation assuming that there are list of dependencies, installation instructions and configuration examples.

But nowadays, "multiplatform applications" usually looks like:

— Linux: Docker

— Windows: Install Docker with WSL

— MacOS: Install Docker with Homebrew

Daemons, horned beasts and fish meet to confer. A daemon speaks: "I want you to think of reasons that would help promote our cause." Everyone shouts ideas over one another. "pf is the best!" "well duh!" "Matt Dillon?" "HardenedBSD?" "bhyve?" "zfs?" "mirabilos!" Fish: "That time Theo fought the squid king and won?" "Goddamnit, fish."

This is how my 1 Euro per month #NetBSD VM is reacting to the sudden popularity of my last blog post, on HN:

#RunBSD

Decided to give #FreeBSD a try, after having #NetBSD as a daily driver in my old (and defunct) #netbook

The onboarding experience is certainly far from what you get in modern #Linux and just a tad above what I got with the minimalist install for NetBSD.

Pictured is my #RaspberryPi 4 encased in a #JoyPi Note 1.

I had to borrow the ethernet cable from the Vodafone STB, so I can install the required stuff for Wifi (sure, I could do it by hand, but meh).

Might do some #Mesa3D hacking on that :)
