    Told someone I'd rip their book of music CDs for them... and discovered my ripper software is unusable. It rips a track or two and crashes. Fan-fucking-tastic. Alright, with Audex out of comission, I'm open to suggestions. I'd prefer something that fits nicely in to KDE, but getting this project done is higher priority.
    I have k3b, but I can't find where to change the format and location of the ripper.

                    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.

                                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!

                                                  LocalAI on a Pentium 1! D:

                                                  Okay... not really. But I did compile and run an implementation of ELIZA on my Pentium 1 under NetBSD!

                                                  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

                                                            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.

                                                            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/

                                                            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.

                                                            In other words, next to all Mastodon servers are running

                                                                I eventually decided to use NetBSD as the operating system. 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.
                                                                      Dategli un'occhiata.

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.

                                                                              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.

                                                                                      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.
