The table will be shared with our friends #FreeBSD Foundation, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD and #illumos.

New year, same love for clean code. 🧡

I saw @netbsd 🚩was short $327 on their 2025 funding goal, so I sent a donation to start 2026 on a high note.

Wishing the team a great 2026.

Wishing all BSD users Happy New Year ahead!

For what it's worth:

The hyperlinked article is purely about Linux and its two major C libraries (GNU and #musl), and does not cover #Unix, historical or otherwise, at all.

There are systems still around where grantpt and unlockpt are important. On #NetBSD with certain options set they are not actually no-ops. They are definitely not no-ops on #Illumos-based operating systems, where (for starters) STREAMS stuff happens on pseudo-terminal front-end devices.

@adacosta

There's a bit of a quibble with 'extinct' and not the usual one that #NetBSD, #FreeBSD, and #OpenBSD are very much still here.

#Illumos is still here, and available in the forms of #OpenIndiana, #OmniOS, and #Tribblix .

@ptribble 's latest Tribblix update was last November, for example. As was the most recent update to OmniOS.

You can simply use relay instances to be interconnected with other instances to exchange posts and it works seamless with #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #snac / #snac2 and many other ones! If you're in tech, you might want to use:

You can simply add it to get a bigger reach but also to get more interesting content into your own timeline which becomes even more important on single user- & smaller instances.

Share the goals you have for 2026.

Dream big.

One of my goals is to complete my master's degree in cybersecurity before summer.

While many linux distros are agnostic on LLM generated code; unsure they ought to be dictating the dev tools contributors use; or even developing policies on how to incorporate it into their projects responsibly.

Gentoo and ElementaryOS have banned LLM code from their project code entirely. (Though they can do nothing about upstream projects they consume.)

NetBSD has instituted a policy barring any LLM generated code from the entirety of its base system.

AND FreeBSD's draft policy appears to be similar.

The bans on LLM generated code...

What it looks like booting #NetBSD on the Wii U for the first time https://youtu.be/pfNySZMSvLQ

Wii U SMP dmesg #NetBSD https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/dmesgd?do=view&id=8766

It's alive! SMP kernel up and running on #NetBSD Wii U.

#NetBSD 11 getting closer: "Timeout for showstoppers (before they will be downgraded) december 28, trying to move on to RC1 before the end of december."

Console works on the Wii U gamepad too, although it doesn’t quite fit with the default font size. #netbsd

Arcan 0.7.1 – Minutes To Midnight

RE: https://hsnl.social/@eloy/115788206478725364

#NetBSD

Of course I also tried #NetBSD. It also hangs while reading the boot device.

Ok, I got back to this, and I got the eMMC working by adding a build config to limit it to 52Mhz (and now the note at the end of the README for the quartz64_uefi makes more sense, I must have been bumping up against that :-).

This did allow me to try installing #NetBSD to the eMMC, and that worked! But broke booting ubuntu... welp.

Ethernet is still not working.

@resuna @GrantMeStrength Pity that was lost! What language did you use?

Apologies for the ESR references in this link, but it includes many stories of Trek code bases:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/super-star-trek/sst-doc.html

And there's still a #Trek in the #NetBSD source tree, under /usr/src/games/trek .
