Kvetching, not complaining. Writes books. Pet rats. Martial arts. Punch Nazis & terfs. If it wasn't on Industrial Records it's not industrial music, it's just sparkling noise. He/him. Bangpath old. Detroit, MI, US. Gelato!

No, I'm not pondering #bsdcan at all, why do you ask?

Dexter's Law: Only proprietary software vendors want proprietary software and only fascists want fascism. Toots are my own. Self-employed. Father of three. I aim to keep this to technical topics relating to bhyve and OpenZFS, and the occasional humor and Latvia.

We are pleased to announce the permanent #BSDCan Mike Karels Travel Fund grant which for 2026 will be three $500 USD grants to people who need a little help attending. Anyone can apply but we specifically welcome members of any under-represented groups.
https://blog.bsdcan.org/2026/05/20/announcing-the-mike-karels-memorial-travel-fund
We are also pleased to announce that we received and accepted three travel accommodation grants today!
If it's not obvious, we REALLY want to enable first-time and under-represented attendees.

Would you like to get more out of bsddialog(3)?
BSDCan has a tutorial for that:
Introduction to TUI Programming using bsddialog with Benedict Reuschling
Thursday 2026-06-18: 13:00 - 16:00
Shell scripts have a bad reputation when it comes to usability and eye candy. Modern users find a blinking cursor on a a black screen leaves a lot to be desired when having to interact with a shell script. In this tutorial, we will create shell scripts that look like a GUI application: with buttons to press, input fields, select boxes and animated progress bars. These so called TUI (text user interfaces) programs still use shell script functionality as the backend, but are lightweight enough to not introduce too much overhead. Users will appreciate the ease of use of your shell scripts and you can rely on them to give you the data and visualizations you to need. At the same time, the TUI application is not difficult to learn and implement into existing scripts.

@jaypatelani@bsd.network Here's my Acorn RiscPC booting #NetBSD 8.3. The computer is from 1994 so almost the same age as NetBSD itself.
Also quick plug, if you want to hear more about this history, come to my talk at @bsdcan@bsd.network this June #BSDCan
