There's no new "life with NetBSD" report due to my semi ongoing health issues, so I'm going to boost the previous one.
I'm thinking, when I have time and energy, about a personal project related to surviving in the era of collapse of personal computing. Likely it'll be just a blog about making things cozy for me and my partner, where we would be exploring topics like: <li>building offline-only Debian workstation based off old-stable, and potentially fetching some security fixes from upstream</li><li>making NetBSD a simple desktop OS with minimum slop/no AI-tainted packages coming from upstream </li><li>some minimal risk evaluation for software we use in terms of "will it bitrot, will it be taken over by fash"</li><li>exploring alternative OSes more: not just BSD, but Haiku, Redox, FreeDOS</li><li>collection of links to cool human-made projects </li><li>etc etc</li>
This is a gigantic project that I feel like I have to do for my own sanity. It'll take a long time to even get started.
A new progress report on living with (Net)BSD, with some artistry, too.
This original illustration is succubus daemon. Installed by running pkg_add succu, and can be started with default settings with /etc/rc.d/succu onestart.
She's a bit wonky and rough around the corners, and she looks more like a ghost than a succubus. But she's highly configurable, and her ~source code~ incantation spell is written by a human being and can be understood by a human being as well.
The illustration is a mix of traditional and digital art, and all the digital parts were done on NetBSD 11.
Thread start!
