Ok, so it looks like this toot blew up.

And what can I say? If you liked it, I by all means encourage you to try #NetBSD out for yourself! If you've had enough experience in a Unix command-line, and isn't afraid to do some reading on the documentation, it's a very rewarding experience.

You can see how I ran NetBSD on the first Raspberry Pi (2012 Model B) in this post for the Old Computer Challenge. If *that* was usable, anything else is going to be great!

Happy hacking!

#Debian 13 Trixie now officially has #HDR support built right into the Gnome desktop out of the box. After upgading my desktop now has options for HDR right in the display settings, 🙂

You obviously have to have an HDR display connected; my laptop doesn't have these options listed because it doesn't have an HDR display.

#Linux

Just edited our nginx configs and added

if ($http_user_agent ~* "Meta-ExternalAgent") {
return 403;
}

to the server block

People, please don't use #SubStack

Please use #Ghost
https://ghost.org

You can let your site be hosted by Ghost or even better..

..self-host!

Setting up a site is super easy and you can even use membership features like I do here: https://stux.me/membership/

For every platform with a shady CEO there is a self-hosted alternative that is waaay better

#FOSS FTW!

Embargo’s up! I’ve been running the Framework Desktop as my main desktop for a few weeks now. I’ll share more specifics later but the gist is it’s an incredible machine, a lot smaller than I expected, and beautiful. Can’t wait to customize the front more when it’s released!

In other news, after an evaluation period, it seems that I can have a specific type of LinkedIN account without dealing with their privacy related nonsense from earlier this year (sending them my passport info will never happen). So the post is shared over there as well:

Unfortunately, it required creating a new account after >10 years of connections, so those are all gone. Yay for starting over in unnecessary ways!

With 35 years of experience, EFF is suing the government for overstepping their bounds, using inclusive activism to empower people and educate lawmakers, and creating free open source tools to make the web better. It’s only possible with your support: https://eff.org/vv

Urgent help for OpenPrinting needed!

As many here know, I am co-founder and lead of OpenPrinting since 2001, known as the print guru for Linux and free software by many. I also got one of the 8 fellows of the Linux Foundation for this.

Up to now I was working at Canonical, hired back in 2006 just to run OpenPrinting and also to maintain printing-related Ubuntu packages.

On this day, twenty-five years ago, libcurl was born. The engine from the #curl tool turned into a library so that others could also get internet powers.

The name "libcurl" was picked simply because we couldn't think of a better name and yeah, it is a "curl library"...

libcurl 7.1 was a dot-one release to make sure it would not get confused with one of the many 7.0 beta releases we did prior to the actual release.

One of the first adopters of libcurl was PHP.
