@goblin @mwl @tedu It's going into ports then, I can't imagine something that works on less than 50% of the arches got in base.
So I don't think its about Rust, Golang, Zig or whatever else might be fashionable at any given week, it's more about "does it compile on Alpha, does it run on Sparc64?"

@danderson "This is the most obvious case since I sued 'The Neverending Story'"

Some photos of Nagoya *BSD Users' Group and Japan NetBSD Users' Group booth at Open Source Conference 2025 Nagoya (Japan) held on May 31.
We demonstrated some retro machines such as #NetBSD/macppc on Mac mini, NetBSD/evbarm on Raspberry Pi 3, NetBSD/i386 on Fujitsu laptop with old good Pentium CPU, NetBSD/evbppc on Nintendo Wii and #OpenBSD/luna88k and #FUZIX on LUNA-88K2 at the booth.
I also had a small talk about OpenBSD/luna88k and FUZIX. #oscnagoya

@bagder It's also older than TCP/IP, which shows when looking at rules like that.

@foone whee, Railroad Tycoon.

@bcallah Just found this one, you sort of left out the qemu/utm setups if one wants to run obsd for free on aarch64 macs. I guess some people would prefer not to step into whatever trap VMWare may or may not become in the future.

Not that I think you didn't know of qemu, but if one is to compare the possibilities for having bsd vms, leaving that out felt odd.

Sedan tidigare har jag flyttat alla webbar jag host:ar själv till Nginx och FreeBSD. Några servrar återstår men de ska också flyttas från Linux till FreeBSD.

@mwl Easy, just move emacs into vi mode ( https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/vip/Vi-Mode.html ) and then esc-q-!

Testing #OpenBSD/luna88k 7.7-beta running on nono 1.4.0 on #OpenBSD/amd64 7.6-stable. Both 7.7-beta and nono seem work fine!

Going to Umeå in northern Sweden this weekend for some UmeBSD nerdery.

Minifree is back!

And it sells Libreboot.

So, golang on mips64-openbsd is out, but since 1.23, risc-v is in:
"Go 1.23 adds experimental support for OpenBSD on 64-bit RISC-V (GOOS=openbsd, GOARCH=riscv64)."

Guess I have to move over to a slightly more recent (or less obsolete) RISC platform for my go needs.

I've released a new version of my #Amiga analysis tool Aira Force. Play and analyse all (about half) of your favourite games. Download from https://howprice.itch.io/aira-force

@bjonte Has to do with eggs and Gullivers travels. CPUs love that story, for some reason.

Much better now! Origin300 uses all 16 numalinked CPUs for compiling AND runs on 100% solar power ☀️ Sustainable SGI 😎

@dexter You are involved in the openzfs stuff, where does one complain about the weird hoops to jump in docs through in order to see zfs feature list?

Start here https://openzfs.org/wiki/Features and go via feature flags until you have some kind of answer. That chain is slightly ridiculous.

In my case, I was looking for if iscsi still was a thing or not in zfs, and while the actual answer isn't super important to me, it led me to find the above abomination. =)

There is still time to apply for the "Paul Schenkeveld Travel Grant"

If you are keen on attending next year's conference and require financial support, please consider applying for the "Paul Schenkeveld Travel Grant" for 2025.

You can do this by contacting the board before February 1st, 2025, stating who you are, what you are doing with BSD (😈⛳🐡), and why you should receive the grant.

This grant is in recognition Paul's accomplishments and in memory of his work and dedication to the BSD community, the EuroBSDCon Foundation is offering a travel grant in his name.

Paul was one of the few - if not the only one - to have attended all EuroBSDCon conferences since their inception in 2001. Besides his many contributions to BSD in general and the EuroBSDCon conferences in particular, he established the EuroBSDCon Foundation in 2010 to ensure continuity for many more conferences.

The EuroBSDCon Foundation Board will consider all valid submissions in its sole discretion and communicate its selection by March 2025. The selected person will receive travel expense reimbursement and hotel accommodation during the conference as well as free entrance to the conference and social event.

More information can be found on: https://eurobsdconfoundation.org/travel-grant.html

The 2025 edition will be held in Zagreb, Croatia.
