Checking out some things over on #gemini
Just started on this page. - I'm liking it already. This reminds me a lot of the old BBS days when things were TEXT based. - The internet IS bloated.
A successful weekend project. OpenBSD/macppc on my Apple PowerBook G4. Pictured here is SDF Com running in GNU Emacs. #OpenBSD #MacPPC #Apple #PowerBook #G4

This fine fellow sat in Grandfather's garage for close to 30 years. It is all there in original packing material. I think I was probably the only one who ever used it much--when I was about 7 or 8.
I would have taken it to the Living Computers (RIP) in Seattle. Now I'm not sure how best to re-home it.
Any ideas? I have not yet explored what it looks like inside or whether it even turns on.

ISPs have tried for years now to stop California's #NetNeutrality law. After losing three lawsuits against the state, they've given up, and accepted what we knew was true: if the FCC does not enact net neutrality, the states are free to do so.

While you learn lot of mathematics at school, in real life you can mostly rely on cross-multiplication [1] for all your needs.
I feel like in IT, rsync and a shell script is the equivalent of cross-multiplication...

Some statistics on what will become NetBSD 10.0
Performance: Some benchmarks show 3x or more improvement over 9.0 on multi-core systems
Device drivers: 19+ new, 13+ significantly extended, 13+ removed (mostly non-Ethernet wired networking that's fallen out of use!)
Userspace programs: 5+ new, 20+ significantly improved, 1 removed.
Quality assurance: 2000+ new test cases, 2 new kernel sanitizers, several complete kernel-wide audits.
Time: Nearly three years 👍

Very cool to see @netbsd here on SDF #mastodon ! SDF is the largest NetBSD site in production and we've been running it since the 1.2 release while we were on DEC Alpha and currently on 9.x x86_64 Thanks to Eric Schnoebelen (RIP), Christos Zoulas, ryo (rsh), Masa Saitoh and ebijun as well as others for the support over the years!
