Started to play the OrangPiZero with #netbsd. Seems the wireless doesn’t get support yet? Ethernet works well though.

SSD TRIM in #NetBSD HEAD (-current)

@encelado Yes, just include <sys/soundcard.h> and don't use O_NONBLOCK.

I was recently pointed to eMWM [1], the Enhanced Motif Window Manager. As a fan of traditional stacking wms, I decided to package it for #pkgsrc. It's available in wip. Really lovely.
RoboNuggie made a nice review [2] of EMWM running on FreeBSD.

The Design and Implementation of the NetBSD rc.d system http://www.mewburn.net/luke/papers/rc.d.pdf | https://lobste.rs/s/kwehnp #netbsd #osdev #pdf
@ParadeGrotesque You can also add to /etc/rc.conf:
ip6addrctl=YES
ip6addrctl_policy="ipv4_prefer"
@pdt providing you have docs for the e-ink display, there's an i2c display driver already you could use as a base - ssdfb(4)

Public Annual General Meeting: Saturday, May 21 2022, at 14:00 UTC, in the #netbsd-agm channel on irc.libera.chat. There will be various presentations about NetBSD, and a moderated Q&A session.
See you there 👋
@ND3JR @trashheap Bug reports by social media 🙃
@ND3JR @trashheap "the BT device would disconnect after the audio playback is over."
Is this change relevant?

Finally found a decent way how to package Frogatto and Friends into pkgsrc. One step closer to making it as easy as 'pkgin install frogatto'.
@encelado @dressupgeekout Minetest! vvvvvv, OpenTTD.
Also, OpenMW, though I might be biased, Morrowind is my favorite game ever.
@ParadeGrotesque In the 2000s I'd say that this was true, but developers have decided that system package managers are frowned upon, so these days you get disasters like this: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/05/10/malicious-crate-rustdecimal.html
as @fcambus points out, it's pretty easy to add some of your own snazzy ASCII art to the bootloader: https://www.cambus.net/customizing-netbsd-boot-banners/
10.0 will have a little bit of fun ASCII art by default
