I am having a hell of a time with npf.conf tonight; I'm trying to allow a few services but when I turn on npf all inbound connectivity (including my active ssh session) breaks
Since moving to #NetBSD I've noticed quite a few blocks and unfollows. I get the unfollows but blocks from folk that don't follow me and I don't follow them is strange. Anyway each to their own as they say.
So I'm looking to follow more #BSD family to get more BSD content on my feed so if that's you come say hi and tell me what and why you run said BSD.
Please boost for more reach and thanks in advance.
Get ready for the European *BSD event of the year 2025!

Having fun thinkering with #netbsd
#http #selfhosted #server is up and running!

Looking for a suggestions for simple self-hosting blog software which a project could use for its developers (and the project as a whole) to post interesting items to its own site, and automatically federate onto the fediverse
Ideally should be easy to spin up on #NetBSD
Asking for a friend(ly project)...
#AskFedi
Running #NetBSD on a Sun Java station.
Very neat!

A week later, the official supported #NetBSD build of #GoToSocial 0.18.1 is being used here. So far, so good. Not much difference with my previous home-made pkgsrc build. We'll keep a eye on the metrics.
I see that #NetBSD might have better driver support (especially WI-FI drivers) Just reading both the sites.
Whom runs NetBSD ? Please shout out tell what you think. I have old ass laptops and I really like OpenBSD buttttt.. I really want wlan ..
Just submitted my proposal for a @netbsd talk at @EuroBSDCon in Zagreb

@frameworkcomputer I hope it is a toaster. So that it can run #NetBSD. Of course.
I really wish it was easier to know how #NetBSD works on an OrangePi 5 (or 5+) or a BananaPi M7, or similar board I could get that has SATA or an M2 I could add a SATA riser to.
When I launched the #BoxyBSD project my goal was to create a welcoming, free space for beginners to dive into BSD-based systems and learn at their own pace. I’m a huge fan of free and open-source software, so I naturally gravitated toward Matrix for the chat setup right from the start. But honestly, #Matrix isn’t always the smoothest ride - especially for newcomers. It can get a bit tricky, and that’s the last thing I want when I’m trying to make people feel at ease. My focus is on helping beginners get comfortable, encouraging them to experiment, and letting them discover the value of #BSD (like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, etc.) for themselves - not throwing them into something that might feel overwhelming.
That’s why I decided to add a Discord server alongside Matrix. It’s just simpler for a lot of people, and I want to meet folks where they’re at. But I’m not a fan of scattered conversations across platforms - it drives me nuts - so I’ve bridged the main channels on Discord and Matrix. That way, we’re all still chatting together, no matter which spot you prefer - simply one thing: #RUNBSD!
#Poll: are you "dog-fooding" #BSD?
Unlike previous polls () I have tried really hard to make sure the options make sense. Select the lowest item in the list that is true for you:
Of the ten options, the first four are for those that don't use BSD regularly (let's say at least once per week).
The fifth option ("VPN/server") is for someone who uses BSD on a server they manage, but don't have physical access to.
The sixth ("at work") through eighth ("secondary laptop/desktop") is for those who regularly use some variant of BSD, but not as a primary daily driver.
The ninth and tenth options are for "dog-fooding"
Oh, right, and I'm sorry, but it really must need be said: MacOS, iOS, and other Apple products do not count. Sorry again. I will count any FOSS BSD-like OSes like #OpenIndiana, though.
I will also count retro commercial Unixes, if you're actually daily-driving them. ;)
