I just lost my job today, so here we go..

I'm a ~30 years Sysadmin/DevOps/Server Shepard/Graybeard whatever its called now UNIX nerd.

Looking for work doing UNIX'y stuff. I mostly do automation, and have avoided working with AI and Kubernetes (though I have a bit of k8s experience at two jobs, I just prefer "the old way")

Chef, Puppet, Cfengine, Ansible, Shell scripts, etc.

I've built Linux distributions, and automation tools. Having worked at Redhat, TurboLinux, Penguin Computing, Salesforce, and Chef.

Built and maintained monitoring systems, checks, and lived the on-call life.

Built and managed CI systems, and Pipelines.

I've written and maintained software in Ruby, Python, and Shell. I've dabbled in just about every other programming language you'll find on a UNIX system.

I have spent a lot of time with *BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and Linux, and to a lesser extent HPUX, and AIX.

If its sysadmin work on a UNIX, I've likely done it.

                                        HI!
                                        I'm one of the developers behind Parch Immutable. Been building this for months and today it finally hit public alpha.

                                        Built on bootc, so the whole system ships as a bootable OCI container image. Read-only root, atomic updates, instant rollbacks if anything breaks. No more praying an update doesn't nuke your system. Podman and Distrobox handle anything that's not on Flatpak, so you're never locked out of an app just because the base is immutable.

                                        Native Plasma login replacing SDDM, atomic bootloader updates through bootupd, and the whole image is already trimmed down by several GB. This is early, it's alpha, things will break, but it's real and it's usable today.

                                        If you write about Linux or FOSS, I'd genuinely appreciate a look. And if you just think this is cool, a boost goes a long way for a project like this trying to get in front of the right people.

                                          Idée à contre-courant du .gitignore classique : au lieu d'ignorer les fichiers indésirables, tout ignorer par défaut (*) et n'autoriser explicitement que ce qui doit être versionné. Fini les .env ou node_modules commités par erreur. Bonus : lazygit comme TUI Git à tester. ⬇️

                                                    Hey folks! 🐡

                                                    I recently, as of yesterday, installed FreeBSD on my ThinkPad E14 Gen 4, and will document my journey coming from Debian GNU/Linux over to something that is BSD.

                                                    I’ve had some knowledge of FreeBSD from past interactions here on Mastodon, as well as from YouTube and other social media platforms. My ThinkPad also has two ssd drives, so I decided to wipe one of them and install FreeBSD, and using it as my daily driver.

                                                    I used to be on kolektiva.social a while back. Not sure how long I’ll stick around on this one either, but I came across bsd.cafe while reading through some FreeBSD documentation and figured I’d join.

                                                    Feel free to boost me if you remember me, or not, no worries!

                                                                      If you don't know ELIZA: it was one of the earliest chatbots, created by Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT in the 1960s. The best known version, DOCTOR, simulated a psychotherapist by recognizing keywords and responding with predefined patterns. It didn't actually understand what you were saying, but it could produce surprisingly convincing conversations and sometimes hilariously circular ones.

                                                                      I actually know ELIZA from my school graduation thesis, which I wrote in psychology. So when I came across this C++ implementation, I couldn't resist bringing it back to life on my Pentium 1.

                                                                      The original ELIZA was written for the IBM 7094 using MAD SLIP. My version is a modern C++ implementation of the ELIZA concept, not the original 1960s source code.

                                                                      I even had a little conversation with it about... itself. Needless to say, ELIZA wasn't particularly interested in answering questions about ELIZA.

                                                                      For the compilation, I used a NetBSD VM on my modern Linux machine with QEMU/KVM, configured with a Pentium CPU model, 128 MB RAM and a virtual NE2000 network card. I compiled the C++20 source inside that Pentium configured NetBSD environment and then transferred the resulting binary to the real Pentium 1.

                                                                      So, no local LLM running on a 166 MHz Pentium 1... but a chatbot from the 1960s running on hardware from the 1990s feels almost perfectly appropriate D:

Depending on how staunchly and extremely anti-AI you and (aspiring) server admins are, there won't be any left. Because it's technically impossible to set up a Fediverse server with absolutely no AI code underneath whatsoever.

                                                                                The Linux mainline kernel itself contains AI code now. It's officially allowed as long as it's disclosed as such. Thus, you will have to avoid literally all servers running on Linux.

                                                                                https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html

But it doesn't rule AI-generated code out out of principle because it's AI-generated; it only wants to be safe that nothing that's actually GPL-licensed is slipped in. So, if you're an 100%, ultra-hardcode anti-AI extremist, avoid what few servers run on NetBSD.

                                                                                https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html

                                                                                https://www.osnews.com/story/144935/openbsd-and-slopcode-raindrop-to-a-torrent/

                                                                                MariaDB allows AI code. You can safely assume that all MySQL databases on Web servers out there are actually powered by MariaDB.

                                                                                https://mariadb.org/governance/governance-ai-policy/

                                                                                https://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/announcing-mysql-ai

                                                                                https://github.com/timescale/pg-aiguide

                                                                                This leaves you with only one choice: Self-hosting a personal, single-user snac2 server because snac2 doesn't need any database whatsoever. In fact, snac2 is staunchly against AI. And it runs on NetBSD.

                                                                                https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

                                                                                https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html

                                                                                https://www.f5.com/de_de/products/nginx.

But that doesn't matter because it's impossible to build a Web server devoid of any AI code to install snac2 on.

                                                                                By the way: Mastodon itself explicitly allows AI code if it's disclosed as such, and if its contributor understands it.

The reason is surprisingly mundane: my USB to PS/2 adapter is broken and the window manager I was using with Tiny Core Linux cannot be fully controlled with the keyboard. So I needed another Unix.

                                                                                    It is now running NetBSD 11.0 with X.Org 21.1.24 and TWM, which means a current 2026 software stack on almost 30 year old hardware. The GPU is a Cirrus Logic D:

                                                                                    The machine has 80 MB of RAM, which feels rather generous compared to another machine I tried with only 64 MB. NetBSD wouldn't install on that one because its CD drive is broken and it also refused to boot the installer through Plop Boot Manager.

                                                                                    Dillo was originally planned as the graphical web browser. Unfortunately, the current FLTK 1.4.5 that Dillo depends on immediately crashes on this Pentium 166 with a bus error. fluid and all of the FLTK libraries do the same. Apparently, "i386" doesn't necessarily mean "runs on an actual Pentium" anymore D:

                                                                                    So I went with w3m instead and used it to open the very first website ever created:

Tuttavia non me ne preoccupo più di tanto perché non intendo usarlo realmente su Linux, ma imparare come funziona.

                                                                                          E' davvero comodo se avete bisogno di compilare un certo software: pkgsrc vi gestisce sorgenti e dipendenze in automatico, e la repository è davvero vasta.

Creato per NetBSD, può essere usato anche su altri sistemi operativi come package manager e repository alternativi come Flatpak, ma a differenza di quest'ultimo è più semplice, tipo non crea sandbox o setup complicati.
                                                                                            E' un po' come avere un assaggio di Gentoo senza le complicazioni di Emerge: scarica e compila i sorgenti che puoi personalizzare come opzioni.
