The -S option to install is one possibility. It still has a window of failed transactions for any server programs that are spun up on connection, because it explicitly rmdirs and unlinks before the rename, but it's a lot smaller one.
#NetBSD has an -r flag.
#Illumos, AIX's installbsd, and Linux-derived operating systems with GNU coreutils do not have this feature at all.
#FreeBSD derivatives, such as #DragonFlyBSD, have -S, too.
As has #OpenBSD where it's always on.
Mulling #eurobsdcon 2025 submissions.

Some insights how my BoxyBSD project for the BSD Community boosted the Proxmox ecosystem and let me create several tools that were simply missing.

As much as I like the existing Linux phones, and am hopeful for the @Liberux, I'm kinda miffed that there isn't a good Linux phone in the general form factor of a #BlackBerry Leap, the all-time greatest smartphone form factor.
Like, give me some venture capital and I'd be up in that shit. I'd give it awesome specs, and have a tailored version of #Slackware with #Phosh on it. Maybe even #NetBSD for shits and giggles.

"Where have you been for the last 20 years?" - The question that changed everything. This isn't a BSDCan report, but a personal reflection on how impostor syndrome stole decades from me, and why it's never too late to find your community and live life fully.

Busy week upgrading all VMs to #NetBSD 10.1 to allow switching to HVM from PV (as #XenServer and @xcpng have dropped support for PV and unfortunately do not support PVH either) which means moving to uEFI booting rather than pygrub loading the kernel. Just waiting for the next #pkgsrc quarterly release to move the remainder over with nice fresh packages.

Has anyone managed to get the JACK sound server going on #NetBSD? I'm getting these errors:
Cannot read socket fd = 10 err = Undefined error: 0
Cannot read socket fd = 6 err = Undefined error: 0
CheckRes error
JackSocketClientChannel read fail
Cannot read socket fd = 12 err = Undefined error: 0
Could not read notification result
I don't know whether you can get #TianoCore onto a 2. I have it on a #RaspberryPi 4.
It just drops straight in as an armstub in the Pi boot volume. Unlike OpenBSD, the NetBSD install image (for Pi 4, anyway) has enough free space for it.
@jmcwhatever is looking into the #NetBSD boot loader spinners, should you spot that.
#BSDCan 2025 conference videos are posted to Youtube.
If you wanted to learn more about #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NETBSD, #HardenedBSD or #DragonflyBSD this is collection of videos is a good place to browse and sample some of the features as they are explained.

Did not get #NetBSD onto my Odroid HC4 at #BSDCan, but thanks to @overeducatedredneck , I better understand some of what isn't working.
