TIL I can get slop-free openrsync via pkgsrc as easily on MacOS as NetBSD, https://www.cambus.net/using-pkgsrc-on-mac-os-x/ Related, nice to see NetBSD Core sensibly pondering what to do in the face of the rising slop tidal wave https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2026/06/05/msg032237.html

@borkdude exciting!

@bsdphk this reads like pure AI slop BTW. Too much hand waving and inaccuracies. Looking at the top level just confirms the sloppiness https://www.iqiipi.com

ClojureScript gets async/await support thanks to @borkdude@mastodon.social! https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/commit/6c7a1680b29e9215e95d867c89f54f2107806220

Navigating NetBSD w/ man is a bit too primitive:

eman() {
emacs -nw -Q --eval '(setq pop-up-windows nil)' --eval "(man \"$1\")"
}

# eman limits

Now you get a humane browser w/ links and backwards/forwards navigation that launches instantly

@veer66 wifi on the Pinebook Pro was jacked, so I connect to the router when I need to. ThinkCentre desktop doesn't move so wired is fine anyway. But yeah wifi on NetBSD doesn't seem great, but not a problem for my purposes.

Set up my second NetBSD 10.1 machine, a 10 year old ThinkCentre M700 I got for $130. It's a good reminder just how fast a 10 year old computer can be when you're not running rando stuff you can't control.

@jack so good
