Présentation de Kern, un runtime sandbox rootless et sans daemon qui exécute du code non fiable et généré par IA en 2.0 ms avec un temps de démarrage très rapide, compatible avec Linux, Windows WSL2, Raspberry Pi, Jetson et Arduino UNO Q. L'installation se fait via une simple commande curl.

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

https://www.neowin.net/news/linus-torvalds-declares-massive-ai-fueled-code-surges-as-the-new-normal-for-linux/

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

• AI-generated Mastodon code
• on an AI-generated Web server
• with an AI-generated database driver
• on an AI-generated operating system kernel

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.

#bsd #netbsd #foss #linux

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.

Next Saturday at #EuroBSDCon 2026, I'll tell the story of one of the longest nights of my career.

On 10 March 2021, I had just fallen asleep when the alerts started arriving. One server down. Then another. And another.
Different servers, different workloads, one thing in common: the OVHcloud Strasbourg data centre.

Then came the news: SBG2 was on fire.

I had 142 servers there.

The mission for the night was simple to state: bring the critical services back before 8, then recover everything else as quickly as possible.

This talk is about what happened next. The things that worked, the architectural choices that saved us, and especially the ones that failed when we needed them most.

And it's also the story of why that night changed the way I design infrastructure, and why BSD systems became such an important part of it.

The night 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. Physically.

CERN is dropping #RHEL for #Debian. All 2200+ systems by the end of the year.

The reason being is that the "-march=x86-64-v2" compiler flag default as "forced obsolescence" for old hardware.

It's not without headaches, mostly due to "the lack of standard tooling for automated building and publishing of packages - a lot of gaps in the official tooling. There are also a number of tools not supporting multiple versions of the same packages."

@dnkl Now that #fuzzel 1.15 is out for #Linux I'm working on on a micro-app that uses it as a frontend for a todo.txt TODO file.

Using the features like custom keybindings, prompt-only mode and the new header and emoji support, a small script is able to display, prioritize, add, edit and check off a todo list.

Still not sure if I'll prefer it over the CLI interface for todo.sh, but it's nice the Fuzzel UI is always one keybinding away.

Once I've fixed the obvious bugs, I'll share it.

Phosh's caffeine quick setting (☕) can be used to prevent the system from going idle and from suspending.

This can be tweaked now so that one can have the system go idle but not suspend.

Very useful on Qualcomm based 📱 so one can prevent the system from suspending (to receive incoming phone calls and SMS) but still have blank and lock work as expected.

I've been using Chimera Linux for some time now, and it's great. (The maintainer of it is a bit of a strange one, but hey-ho).

Chimera Linux is the Linux based on musl using the freebsd userspace. (This isn't anything new, Debian had an attempt at this with Debian-freebsd).

@wezm has created Casuarina which is essentially Chimera Linux with glibc rather than musl.

Very cool. I'll be looking into this!

Oh. A casuarina is a type of Australian Pine; I've never seen one (they're native to Australia), but thanks to all the #crypticcrossword puzzles I solve, I've heard of one. ;P

Upgrade complete! We can now build pmOS #duranium images for more devices. Starting slow to monitor builder scalability, so only going to add a few more initially.

More devices mean more chances to try immutable #Linux on phones. More testers means faster bug spotting & feedback ❤

Which device do you want to test? Only pmOS supported devices with EFI boot can be added. Have another in mind that's not in the poll? Let us know!

After all these discussions about using BSD systems instead of Linux, I very quickly found myself reading the FreeBSD installation guide. I believe it could definitely be my new operating system to replace Windows 10. In fact, I’m already on their IRC channel, although that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll post anything there (I’m not entirely confident about writing, and often the solution to a problem presents itself after the third or fourth sentence while I’m trying to explain it)

FIND yourself a a linux distribution or BSD that does reject AI; use it and donate to it.

If you can't move your daily driver move a secondary machine. Tinker with it, fit it into your life where it makes sense.

YEAH the linux kernel has slop. Most programming languages have slop. Most desktop environments have slop, you will have dependencies that are still slop. This is a big problem; there is no magic off switch to fixing this overnight.

We are in the early days of dealing with a contaminate that polluters are actively dumping into our digital environment.

It is going to take a long time before anyone can truly be slop free.

But support, and invest in the folks doing that hard work which will build a slop free future.

When I see someone say that moving away from an OS that has questionable choices would require "living a hairshirt existence" I laugh out loud. The first 1/3 of my "Linux lifetime" was just that.

I was there when Linux was new. The chances of a UNIX app not being provided by your distribution was quite high. You had to manually calculate monitor and video card clock timings to get a GUI. You probably had to dual boot if you wanted to do anything like gaming.

1

Early adopters and contributors refused to accept this situation and stuck with it. It went from hairshirt to mainstream in part due to people sticking to their principles. And, above that, the principles of open source.

So yes, switching is hard. It will be difficult for a time, but enough people standing by their principles can lead to critical mass. It's unbelievable that the very people whose careers are built on open source are forgetting how it works.

1. This list is NOT exhaustive. There was also a binary format change, non-modular kernel and more.
