  @jaypatelani@bsd.network @jeff@toot.rainbow-100.com It's not on by default because of this: https://gnats.netbsd.org/58553

  I've been hearing noise about Microsoft trying to make Windows 11 usable with 8GB RAM in wake of the shortage. Behold, 16MB: https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/dmesgd?do=view&id=8726

  @linuxiac@mastodon.social 32-bit RISC-V too.

  @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me The cache takes a while to update... visit the http (not https) url and you'll get the latest version.

  Yes, we can count to 11! https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/netbsd_11_0_released

  Radoslaw Kujawa is stepping up work on supporting the Ingenic XBurst MIPS chips. I'm not going to mention anything about 11.0 lest I curse it. https://freshbsd.org/netbsd/src/commit/wbWzhgVI8ktNCcPG

  Did you know about the security curtain? This hides running processes from users who don't own them. https://man.netbsd.org/secmodel_extensions.9

  Added hb68k, a new port targeting home-designed and home-built computers designed around Motorola 68000-based processors, often distributed as DIY electronics kits. https://freshbsd.org/netbsd/src/commit/5VZn8FqRGWpDGcOG "I'm working with other 68k-home-brewers to get support for their systems integrated."

  Do you like accessibility? Do you want to make our software more accessible? Paid project. https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/flite/ Requires a good proposal/application to be written.

  Having to contend with the internal conflict over technically being a Brand Account right now. Anyway, install NetBSD. We don't get anything if you do, but it'll be good for you. You know that Raspberry Pi you bought in 2020 and has been sitting in a drawer ever since? How about that old laptop that's seen better days?

  @stuartl@mastodon.longlandclan.id.au You need to install EDK2 UEFI firmware to the SD card and boot NetBSD from USB.

  @gmc Looks like our developers have the root file system on a USB drive.

  #NetBSD booting on the ACube Systems Sam460ex! https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/dmesgd?do=view&id=9016 #powerpc

• Post #3325550

  The last two weeks of changes have brought us many new sensor drivers for the Sun Ultra 45, and a new audio driver for the SGI Iris Indigo. Also, initial support for the PowerPC 440 core and 460EX SoC, used on ACube Systems embedded hardware. In less retro news, a ~1% performance for some ARM platforms. The -11 release is pending on security issues in OpenSSL, expat, and unbound, since our day keeps getting ruined.

  The latest version of the SPDX specification removes references to SPDX-License-Identifier tags in source code. We're unsure if this is intentional. https://gnats.netbsd.org/60308 https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/commit/2acae715e971f8b84da8ea85f93849bdcf89c5ab

  @rzeta0@mastodon.ie Yes, the project is incomplete if it doesn't have documentation or tests.

  AnonCVS is unavailable until our admins reconfigure the RAID array (it's out of disk space). Mirrors remain accessible.

  NetBSD tip of the day: Share files in the current directory at http://localhost:8080 /usr/libexec/httpd -fX -I 8080 . For more tips, type "fortune netbsd-tips" on a running system :3c

  For those of you who get warnings printed by postfix on startup on 11.0 RC4, the fix is a simple config file change: https://freshbsd.org/netbsd/src/commit/pFDGyTIykZA0QEFG

  @julienbarnoin @andrei This policy is not about about code quality, it's about copyright.

• Post #1335376

  Windows 11 or NetBSD 11... only one will never have ads in the default install.

• Post #1290544

  New development policy: code generated by a large language model or similar technology (e.g. ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) is presumed to be tainted (i.e. of unclear copyright, not fitting NetBSD's licensing goals) and cannot be committed to NetBSD. https://www.NetBSD.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html

  #NetBSD 11.0 RC3 was tagged and will soon be shipped to a http or ftp server near you. The decision was made to delay the release and make another RC because of a number of important fixes being pulled up. This included ZFS and swap reliability fixes, improvements to support for allwinner risc-v hardware, and a curses compatibility fix.

  Asking again if someone happens to have contacts inside Harvard University or Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory who feel responsible for open source software licensing. Please get in touch. :) Note: Please do not copy and paste the contacts for their legal departments, etc. #harvard #ucb #berkeley

  Like a few of you pointed out, NetBSD* became 33 years old yesterday. In unrelated news, ow, my back... * As in, our version control repository. The first commit was made on 21 March 1993.
