Lets eat 🧇 in Brussels!

EuroBSDCon 2026 in Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪

Alt...

Cut out of a comic created for EuroBSDCon in the style of Tintin. There are two panels visible. The first panel on the right has a butler presenting a Belgium Beer to a character who is out of frame. There is a speech bubble from the out of frame character which says: "we find this?" The butler replies: "Etterbeek, sir." Etterbeek is where the VUB is located and the location of EuroBSDCon 2026. The second panel has Manneken Pis. Dutch for 'Little Pissing Man' is a landmark 55.5 cm (21.9 in) bronze fountain sculpture in central Brussels, Belgium, depicting a puer mingens: a nude boy urinating into the fountain's basin. There is a speech bubble as well that says: "Not here".

Well I've been doing my part for many years. (-:

No, I don't accept plagiarism machines. Sadly, that the plagiarism machines nick and distort this very codebase is one of the bad things that I know about them. I happened to search something a while back, and got a misrepresentation of me, obviously abusing my own code, generated by one of the 'AIs'.

It's targetting anything that has the musl C library, or whose atoi() function overflows in the same way. The BSDs's atoi() overflows in a different way. But it looks like the #Illumos atoi() has the same overflow behaviour as #musl.

Happy #InternationalTigerDay! 🐅

Fierce, fast, and highly adaptable to almost any environment—sounds a lot like NetBSD, doesn't it? Whether you're firing up a modern server or breathing life back into your vintage Mac OS X "Tiger" era #PowerPC, NetBSD🚩 brings that agile power to your hardware.

Let's celebrate and support the conservation of these magnificent creatures today! 🐾💻

#Debian has caught up with that version of #ISC #BIND, as well.

https://salsa.debian.org/dns-team/bind9/-/commit/cfc4bd23e8bd21508af8553d853a8974c0cce5f9?file_path=bin%2Ftools%2Fnsec3hash.c#7540f7456b991711c4c6b4efd41fc8b79d2c1174

But its source code repository won't be spotted as LLM-generated software by that WWW site that you are using, because unlike the comparatively diligent M. Zoulas of #NetBSD, Ondrej Sury (of ISC, who also commits directly to Debian) is not copying any of the change descriptions into Debian's source tree changelog, so there is no mention of the word 'Claude' in Debian.

@rl_dane

Not as damning as one might think.

That's a commit to external/ where Christos Zoulas is importing into NetBSD's mirror all of the changes made to the original ISC BIND in version 9.20.24, en bloc. M. Zoulas didn't use the LLM, and the LLM-generated code is only one of a whole slew of changes made to the BIND source tree in that version.

The person who uses the LLMs is Michal Nowak who works for ISC in QA.

https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/commit/e13302a6bc9b196564b5e7afe703fae24311ceeb

#ISC has an explicitly pro-LLM stance on #BIND, and I wouldn't be surprised if #Kea and DHCP follow suit.

https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/merge_requests/12363

https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributing-code

There have been good reasons not to use ISC BIND for over a quarter of a century (monolithic software, runs with superuser privileges, multiple hats, lots of parsing). Alas, it is an expenditure of time and effort on the #NetBSD people's parts to switch to a non-LLM-generated DNS server software. But it is well past due.

@netbsd 11.0 is being tagged Real Soon Now. We have some tickets ready to pull up to what will become 11.1 (already pulled up to -9 and -10 branches), but they are on hold. Thanks @riastradh !

Also very cool to see Radoslaw hitting #NetBSD up again

@bpl @jaypatelani @corvus @cmccullough

Well, that's kind of damning: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/f3b327fa6f8b4ff6f758a8b9e8190aa20109e222

@netbsd ? 🥺

Re: tmux in OpenBSD, false positives are possible, because the tool is just looking at filenames and metadata, not actual file contents. If they're copying source code from a slop project, but not the metadata/commits, then it will give you a false negative.

#NetBSD #slop

@corvus @cmccullough

There's not a lot of options, sadly.

I'm experimenting with #NetBSD, as they have a strong anti-slop stance, but the second you start installing packages, you're getting slop. They can't police everything.

So far, it's a joy to use, even though #S3 #Suspend isn't working.

The spinny disc sounds are actually kinda therapeutic XD

In fairness, Debian/kFreeBSD was an on-going project for well over a decade, and there was even a Debian/kNetBSD several years before that. That said, their histories show that talk is cheap for the people suggesting Debian on a BSD kernel yet again.

If you encounter them, throw the cat amongst the pigeons by telling them that not only is Debian/Hurd an active project, unlike the dead Debian on BSD ones, it's also not a Linux kernel; and Samuel Thibault could do with the assistance. (-:

I don't know what M. Thibault's position on LLM-generated code is.

@aaron if #NetBSD did native encrypted root ZFS [ideally RAIDZ] (without the booting into mini-NetBSD first) and nfsv4, I would NetBSD.

Installed Dillo ( @dillo ) and NetSurf on that little #NetBSD machine.

Both are really fast, NetSurf seems a bit more complete. But I have a soft spot in my heart for Dillo, as I used it for years with Sylpheed to read emails that were HTML only.

Wait... #NetBSD has journaling in FFS? HOW?!? XD
#OpenBSD even jettisoned softdeps! Journaling would be amazing to have!!
