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.
i surely need to shift my focus on some computer related stuff: most of my (really limited) energy is lately being spent worrying about this or that technology being enshittified with #ai/#llm (even #linux now, the first weapon i wielded against big tech in the past)
i will try to focus my energy towards actionable steps and technologies that don't are better for the planet and me
as soon as i will have a small break from some personal stuff, i think i will try some #netbsd or #haikuOS

#FreeBSD has its own foundation but, as with Linux, both are US based. These foundations have their sponsors. Some of them are US #bigtech. And they are basically pushing towards LLMs.

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.

Hey #FreeBSD 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!

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
NetBSD has very strict rules regarding AI-generated code. 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
OpenBSD contains AI-generated code, too. And it has no official stance regarding it. So servers running on OpenBSD are taboo, too.
https://www.osnews.com/story/144935/openbsd-and-slopcode-raindrop-to-a-torrent/
FreeBSD has no stance on AI whatsoever that I could find. However, apparently, the FreeBSD community loves to integrate Claude Code into their systems for automation purposes:
https://aumont.fr/posts/claude-code-freebsd/
https://discoverbsd.com/p/8a7660c31b
But you'll also have to look at the userland, the Web server, the database driver etc.
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/
Oracle MySQL can integrate AI, so it's safe to assume it contains AI-generated code.
https://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/announcing-mysql-ai
PostgreSQL probably allows AI code, too. There are even tools for it.
https://github.com/timescale/pg-aiguide
SQLite is very popular amongst AI users while not having any rules on AI-generated code. Assume it to be tainted.
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
But then there's the Web server. Apache may allow AI-generated code if it has been reviewed and made sure that it does not contain anything that's incompatible with the Apache-2.0 license.
https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html
nginx welcomes AI and advertises itself as ready for AI, and it takes no anti-AI-code stance. It's most likely already tainted.
https://www.f5.com/de_de/products/nginx.
This basically leaves you with no Web server guaranteed to be 100% free from AI-generated code to run snac2 on. 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.
https://github.com/mastodon/.github/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md
In other words, next to all Mastodon servers are running

XyGrib / OpenGribs -what’s happening with GRIB downloads?
Since Sept. 2, GRIB downloads from OpenGribs appear to be failing.
I'm using XyGrib 1.2.6 on antiX 26 (Linux). The request reaches the server, but I get “Error: Request failed” after “Preparing file on server…”.
Is this temporary? What solutions are being considered? Restore the server, new infrastructure, or direct downloads from NOAA/DWD?
Ho incontrato dei problemi nel compilare due applicazioni che uso, Vice e Luanti, immagino che abbia bisogno di fare un po' di setup extra per la mia distro. 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.
Dategli un'occhiata.
Sto provando per curiosità pkgsrc su Devuan. 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.
