I love this talk by Kirk McKusick on the history of the #BSD #UNIX history #RunBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #OpenBSD #DragonflyBSD https://youtu.be/bVSXXeiFLgk

The European BSD conference, EuroBSDcon 2026 will be in Brussels, 9-13 September 2026. You can send your talk, tutorial, BOF or other session submission to our program committee before June 20th, see https://2026.eurobsdcon.org/cfp/ For more about the BSD conferences, see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_is_bsd_come_to_a_conference_to_find_out.html #freebsd #netbsd #openbsd #freesoftware #libresoftware #development #programming #devops #bsd #conference @EuroBSDCon

@magdalunaa well played on your article. Thank you for sharing.

New #blog post alert!I muse about research some of my grad students and I did around independently evaluating some #OpenBSD anti-ROP mitigations, and I bid farewell to being an OpenBSD developer.https://briancallahan.net/blog/20260322.html#freebsd #netbsd #dragonflybsd #bsd #unix #linux #compiler #compilers #rop #research

@stefano Thank you. This is an inspiring place 🥹

@BoxyBSD @gyptazy Pity I missed that...

Some 2026 issues are fun.Trying to host a simple webpage on my #HP #pa-riscIt crashes when i hit reload a few times on FirefoxWhat variables can i tune to make it a bit more stable? #NetBSD #vintagecomputers

Fantastic, my setup on #Netbsd netboot needed a few tweaks to get my #Ultra1 going also.If you are thinking of getting your #SunMicrosystem going on NetBSDi put the netbsd-install.gz in my NFS shareThe manual is a tad off there.

@bentsukun @bentsukun@mastodon.sdf.org welcome!

@ball have fun!

Three ways to look at the same machine - at the same time: a BIOS VGA console, a 256-color xterm, and a responsive web UI - all connected to the same cell and backup management backend.Which one would you pick?https://netbsd-cells.petermann-digital.de#netbsd #modernretrocomputing #freebsd #openbsd #dragonflybsd

It’s becoming real... When you build clean interfaces from the ground up, the next GUI is not magic. It is a concrete architectural vision, solid technical design, and a few prompts away...https://netbsd-cells.petermann-digital.de/#netbsd #modernretrocomputing #netbsd-cells

A small update on NetBSD Cells I’ve spent some time recently polishing things up and have updated the project page. I also built a new evaluation DVD image so it’s easier to try the current state of the project.It now includes a few of the things I’ve been working on lately, like the reconcile engine in cellmgr, some early volume and backup management, and cellui for interactive administration.If you’re curious about where the project currently stands, I wrote a short status report here:https://www.petermann-digital.de/en/blog/netbsd-cells-status-report-2026q1/Project page and download:https://netbsd-cells.petermann-digital.de/Feedback, thoughts, and questions are always very welcome.#NetBSD #ModernRetrocomputing #devops #selfhosted

"Can you show what Cells for NetBSD actually does?"Sure.Fresh NetBSD install, deploy a Luanti server from a manifest, backup, restore, inspect processes inside the cell, then nuke everything again.My personal record is <4 minutes.The video is slower because OBS + VM + music nearly killed my laptop.https://www.youtube.com/live/nCPecyk-ejU#netbsd #devops #modernretrocomputing #clt2026 #ccc

Cells for NetBSD... Lightning Talk without the Talk https://www.youtube.com/live/_aVtaTbXnio#netbsd #netbsd-cells #devops #modernretrocomputing

Pushing Cells for NetBSD even further... cellmgr becoming a scriptable reconcilation engine with full lifecycle management including backup/restore, with cellui as the go-to TUI for midnight commander enthusiasts. And why stop there, when you could have a PAM authenticated web UI with feature-parity as well?#netbsd #devops #modernretrocomputing

Do you want to come to Brussels, mingle with BSD people, perhaps do a talk, a tutorial or a BOF session?The Call for papers https://2026.eurobsdcon.org/cfp/ is open until June 20th, for the conference in Brussels September 9-13, 2026.We also offer pre-submission guidance/mentoring, see within.Wonder what BSD and the conferences are about?

@zolaris I used to prototype this in Go (using the great bubbletea library) but later decided for a rewrite in pure C and NetBSDs native curese library. I try to keep dependencies as low as possible for seamless integration with the build.sh system. Actually the "cellui" curses interface shown in this screenshot uses "cellmgr" as it backend. cellmgr is a hybrid of a end user cli with a stable machine runtime interface, completely written in sh. So we have a scriptable middleware layer. Took some iterations to get this right, and still some rough edges I will address.
