  @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt @plzupgrademe@fedi.txw.ca @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org currently getting all the packages for KDE downloaded (what? I need something safe and familiar!) and this is going to take a while :blobfoxdeadinside: really do NOT like CTWM. At all. Why do I have to have the cursor on the window to keep it focused? Also why is the only editor out of the box vi????? And there is no visible settings for anything

  WELP, I attempted to install #NetBSD today, but I ran into some serious problems. Namely, after following the instructions on the official website to write the installer image to my USB thumbdrive (which keep changing what the block size should be!), the resulting drive fails to find the kernel and won't go further than the boot prompt. I'm trying some other dd flags and am about to try again, but if this doesn't work SOMEBODY is going to need to step up. Tagging @netbsd@mastodon.sd...

  Alright, serious question for #NetBSD experts: is there any way to mount and access a BTRFS partition in NetBSD? I have been looking and looking and LOOKING for information about this, but keep finding crappy dead ends. I need some means of being able to mount two BTRFS partitions so that I can migrate the data to something that both Linux and NetBSD will use. Here is what I have found: 1) https://github.com/adam900710/btrfs-fuse A read-only FUSE driver for BTRFS. Appears to be Linux only? 2)...

  A REDUCTIVE HISTORY OF THE CURRENT BROWSER MONOCULTURE 1998 🧙🏼‍♂️Internet Explorer sucks! It's closed source just like Netscape! Hmmm... I know! I'll make my own web browser engine! And I'll call it KHTML! Because I am a fucking wizard, and the true mascot of KDE! ⏳TIME PASSES 2000 🧙🏼‍♂️Shit that took longer than I thought, but it's done! And now Konqueror is our FOSS web browser solution! ⏳TIME PASSES 2001 🍎Internet Explorer sucks! But it's the only web browser we got for Mac OS...

  People on fedi: We need a new C compiler to get away from what's happening to GCC! Me: what about improving tack People on fedi: what https://tack.sourceforge.net/ The only issue is that it doesn't do x86-64 but, ehhh, it already targets the important stuff like SPARC and the 68K family and PowerPC and i386 if you really need x86

  So I recently stumbled upon something called "Debian Time Capsule", which claims to be a recreation of CDE in the web browser... but it feels more like a bootleg version. https://debian.com.mx/ It's on GitHub: https://github.com/Victxrlarixs/debian-time-capsule and it's making me go 🤨 from the readme... But, if you're using actual CDE, the palettes included here are in the correct format and can be dropped into ~/.dt/palettes/ to give yourself a bunch of extra themes to p...

  Part of me wants to get and use a proper Sun keyboard on my computer, because it looks cool and would fit in better aesthetically. But the other part of me knows better than to switch from a nice mechanical keyboard to a crappy rubber dome keyboard...

  Linus Torvalds: "And the AI slop issue is *NOT* going to be solved with documentation, and anybody who thinks it is either just naive, or wants to "make a statement". " Also Linus Torvalds: "Some of the documentation updates might be worth highlighting: the continued flood of AI reports has basically made the security list almost entirely unmanageable, with enormous duplication due to different people finding the same things with the same tools.

  Welp, I discovered how some slopcoders are hiding their tracks: by not using GitHub. See, it's pretty easy to fingerprint a repo where Claude is used on GitHub, just block Claude (the user) and you'll get a warning on each repo it touched. You uh, can't do that on GitLab. QSOE Systems has been doing some actually interesting stuff involving RISC-V OS development, taking cues from ye olde QNX and the IBM PC. But in this day and age you need to be leery of projects like these, becaus...
