@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

Potential copyright infringement · Issue #3 · sebedard-creator/pt_api

This project is obviously written mostly by AI and shows clear signs that it was derived from our project https://github.com/zamaudio/ptformat as some of the internal naming of literals match exact...

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!

Is NetBSD affected by this new vulnerability? It's not in the list of affected systems, but I was able to reproduce anyway. Was this vulnerability found by AI? Probably. https://terminal2shell.com/ Upgrading to 11.1 does not remediate this. #NetBSD #vulnerability #infosec
Terminal2Shell: Critical flaw grants instant shell access on every major OS

Terminal2Shell: Critical flaw grants instant shell access on every major OS

Researchers disclose a 55-year-old vulnerability affecting macOS, Windows and Linux. Exploitation is trivial and requires no special tools. No patch exists.

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

I just realized I can use NetBSD 11.1 to run Dire Wolf -- software TNC for APRS/AX.25. Also, chirp is available to program the Alinco DR-135T I have connected via a Digirig USB device. I can now eliminate linux on yet another RPi3 device. Thank you #netbsd and #pkgsrc! Will give it a test this (NetBSD) weekend 😊 #hamradio

Bit over a month of testing #netbsd on ye olde thinkpad. Overall things work very nice. Suspend to RAM sometimes leaves X in a weird state, but that's ok. My major problem is that it's sometimes hard to find information for very basic settings. Fringe things like "how to change the keyboard layout" or "configure scrolling in the correct direction". I shall brood over this and maybe run something else on this machine for november.
