  So, yeah. Another #EuroBSDCon is behind us, and we're sad to leave. It has been incredible meeting all the old farts and new hopefuls - more of the latter than ever, I think! Great talks in all tracks - including the hallway one. Even some conspiracies for good, which is always fun. There were too many highlights to mention, so I'll just shout a big THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to making this a fantastic experience - again. On a personal note I ask/hope those of you who said h...

  Having an absolute blast at #EuroBSDCon as always. Loads of cool people, excellent tutorial on the #CRA and its implications for open source, very interesting #bhyve developments, a fantastic "debut" by Federico Angelilli bringing kernel live patching on #FreeBSD through his #GSOC project. As always I brought some properly obsolete hardware: a 486slc2 running #NetBSD (or OS/2 on request), a Toshiba luggable 486SX2-66 with #DOS and #MonkeyIsland, #DOTT, #Larry, #SpaceQuest or whatnot,...

  Gikk bortom Regjeringskvartalet i dag, og ble satt ut av det store minnesmerket med navnene støpt inn i stålbjelkene. Så da begynte jeg naturligvis å grine. Et par gikk forbi meg mens jeg hulket som verst, og damen la hånden på armen min i et halvt sekund. Et slikt lite glimt av empati og medmennesklighet ut av det blå gjorde dagen en hel del lysere. #Norsktut #Allheimen #22juli

  Making sure this beast of a #486 is ready for #EuroBSDCon .. It'll run #DOS, #NetBSD and OS/2 - and circles around nothing. #Retrocompuing #OS2 #Slowcomputing #EuroBSDCon2026

  Best use of a Mac in 2026: provide power for a #FreeBSD laptop. :D

  So I got an interesting #Floppy #Recovery job in my lap today .. a promo floppy(!!) for the band Everything but the Girl .. remember those people? Anyway: badly damaged it seems, hard to get much out of the disk, but I keep trying. Giving #RecoveryWhiskers a good workout with it (thanks for your help and patience, @JennyFluff@chitter.xyz !), will try some more with the straight #GreaseWeazle tools. Learning a lot here! #Music #EverythingButTheGirl (as if anyone is following *that* hashtag...)

  Flying for the first time in 30 years. Going to visit the #BSDNL conference tomorrow! (It was transported as hand luggage, in case anyone wondered ;) #RetroComputing #BSD #RunBSD #DOS

  On my way to #Foss-North in Gothenburg, Sweden. I'll be giving a talk about being old and nostalgic and protecting a BBS running on a 386 from the Wild West that is the Internet. The talk will be given using the 486 PC in the pictures. #Retrocomputing #DOS #FOSS #fossnorth2026 #fossnorth

  TFW you're upgrading to #FreeBSD 15 and it has fixes for inotify (an entirely new implementation, actually) which renders all your old workarounds for inotifywait and friends moot - and causes monitoring to go nuts because things you relied on not working suddenly work. It's been a long evening. And I'm not even complaining! :D

  Wait what the hell happened, #FreeBSD allows AI contributions? Damn. This changes everything :-(

  @kaito02 Good. Would hate for someone to sneak out without anyone noticing.

  @polpo@chaos.social bah humbug. Anyone who wants this has only perfectly normal systems. Nothing weird anywhere. Just one of your 1500 or so run-of-the-mill IDE and ATA implementations, right? ;D

  @domi@donotsta.re @morc@mstdn.social I loved this format and kick myself periodically for getting rid of mine.

  @forteller@tutoteket.no Sadly some sellers have found my Kryptonite which is called "limited supply" so I'd have to keep that plugin disabled most of the time ... :D

  @harald @JosteinSN@oslo.town Interessant, ikke hørt om før. Tror du de er villige til å kjøre en kjapp test med FreeBSD på en maskin? :) Gamlemaskinen din fra Multicom har forresten "eksplodert" - batteriet vokste plutselig til 4x tykkelse over natten :-D

  @grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place @foone@digipres.club In fairness, it is entirely possible that without strict, limited trust and https someone could hijack the traffic and inject tainted skin data. I'm fairly sure the Minecraft code is nowhere near robust enough to handle that attack vector gracefully...

  @nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe Wow. Sorry about my typos, dude. Wtaf.

  @jbz@indieweb.social This is just insane. The author obviously bears no responsibility here, but sadly I'm fairly sure they'll be hounded across the Internet for this. :-(

  @polpo@chaos.social Ordered three. Woohoo! Also, I did not expect to break the bank already on payday this month, so well played, Ian!
