would you give LLM (AI) to run commands on your macOS, Linux, FreeBSD or Unix machine? Fuck no. I survived this long without this crap and I will be fine. Do not want. Go away.

Linux developers consider discontinuing support for 486 and other CPUs

Ancient processors could soon no longer be supported by the Linux kernel. The goal: less complexity and testing effort.

I would love to see more Linux desktop users, but people (mostly kids or gamers) who watch PewDiePie will not dump Windows because they want those AAA game titles and apps from Adobe and others unavailable on #Linux. Apps are the problem. I’ve been using Linux since the early days, and it is ready for many use cases, especially when privacy is your major concern. Otherwise, you should have the willpower to accept and learn alternative apps.

Investing in automation for #flatpak is an excellent idea!

Love to see this!

Me: *types furiously* "Just a minor kernel panic. Don't worry, I'm fscking it back to life. Hold on..

If you ever accidentally end up inside vi or vim or neovim by reading some tutorials online, you can quit it by pressing Escape, colon ( : ), q (q), bang (!) and pressing return. It is simple as that. Modern version of VIM even tells you that on welcome screen. No need to panic.

Parallel ./configure for #Linux or #Unix: I paid good money for my 24 CPU cores, but ./configure can only manage to use 69% of one of them. As a result, this random project takes about 13.5× longer to configure the build than it does to actually do the build.

@BoxyBSD was always for BSD based systems only. I focussed to push the whole BSD community and to encourage people to try BSD based systems (such like #FreeBSD. #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, etc.) but I'm not sure if it might provide more value to the whole #opensource community by also supporting #Linux systems (such like #Debian, #Ubuntu, #RockyLinux, #SuSe and more).

I'm not sure if the #BoxyBSD project still provides a value for the community right, now.

What do you think?

TrueNAS 25.04 drops FreeBSD: "Fangtooth" only with GNU/Linux base

With TrueNAS 25.04, iXsystems finally says goodbye to its FreeBSD roots and focuses fully on the enterprise sector.

Torvalds states the obvious: file systems should be case-sensitive

Apparently, the Bcachefs people are having problems with case-folding, and Linus Torvalds himself is not happy about it. Torvalds holds the only right opinion in this matter, which is that filesystems should obviously be case-sensitive.

Case-insensitive names are horribly wrong, and you shouldn't have d

The Linux mascot is a penguin named Tux because Linus Torvalds, the creator of the #Linux kernel, was bitten by a penguin. Seriously, he claims he didn't actually get sick, but it solidified his affection for them. This is the best origin story for a tech mascot ever. Happy World Penguin Day.

🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟

Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.

BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.

The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.

The main server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also present and have been able to move individual jails to different, more powerful, machines.

Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.

Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.

The instance started empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.

Join us at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.

Our wiki, located at https://wiki.bsd.cafe, features essential links and articles related to the BSD world. It provides an overview of the tools, services, rules, uptime, and more information about the BSD Cafe Services.

A Matrix server, a Miniflux RSS Reader, the Wiki itself, and the BlendIT Lemmy instance are all part of the BSD Cafe services, with more to come.

Strong suspicion I could swap out #macOS for #Linux, do better with #Minecraft and most everything else, and not do much worse at macOS-specific stuff like #GarageBand and Messages under #OSXKVM (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM).

Anyone done this, or something similar?
