Finally finished porting over my suckless installer for #NetBSD 🥳

https://git.btxx.org/netsuck/

  • dwm for window management
  • st for your core terminal
  • firefox as your core web browser
  • aerc for your terminal-based mail client
  • slock for screen locking
  • scrot for simple screenshot utilities
  • dunst for notifications
  • JetBrains Mono for the core typeface

Note: This is catered for my T480s, so your mileage may vary ;)

@pertho@mastodon.bsd.cafe I'm on #NetBSD now ❤️ after being primarily interested in #FreeBSD for a long while until the whole #AI fiasco happened I still don't get how projects are willing to actively invite in this sort of risk: https://github.com/sebedard-creator/pt_api/issues/3 or the risk of #slop on quality

Hello #netbsd folk! I need your help!

Midori, Palemoon and other GTK apps show broken icons (always did).

I have tried a couple of things but I am not sure if they are related at all, just desperate tries:

  • Added dbus=YES to /etc/rc.conf
  • Installed Adwaita icon theme (I usually see it as the default icon theme on gnome apps, I dunno...)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have a #Thinkcentre with #OpenBSD. It serves as a host for all my repos. My two laptops, an old #x240 with #alpinelinux and the #t480s with #netbsd, I use for programming. I pull a repo to the laptop of the day, and push when I'm done. Because of the recent issues with #SSH on #alpinelinux I changed all three machines to work with #sshkeys instead of passwords as of yesterday. Apart from the security aspect, it has the added benefit that I don't have to key in my crazy long password whenever I #push or just use #ssh to do cross machine activity. Why didn't I do this long ago?

I've started trying netbsd recently. I was curious how well the linux compatibility layer works, so I compiled os-test on a musl-based linux machine, and ran the tests on netbsd. What I immediately found was that there's apparently no sure fire way to distinguish the OS a given ELF binary targets. There is an "OS/ABI" field in the header, but it's typically set to "System V" even on Linux. So netbsd relies on some heuristics. One of which is to look at the program interpreter. But netbsd only knows the name of the glibc dynamic loader, not the musl one. So I've now landed my first contribution to netbsd, to teach it about the musl dynamic loader! #netbsd #musl
