Klaus Zimmermann :unverified: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 <a href="https://c.im/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> 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.

Klaus Zimmermann :unverified:I have no option but to once again going to praise the <a href="https://c.im/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> on an amazing operating system.Since I installed it on the Pi 4, the experience has been so smooth that I don't even realize I'm using a supposedly "cheap and underpowered computer" as it was the case with previous OSes. Nope, not anymore.Instead, there are packages for everything, my architecture is treated as first-class, the performance is always high, and the more I learn about how to use it, the better my experience becomes. No other Linux or BSD met all of these points.And to top it off? Booting up takes no more than 15-20 seconds. It's less than in my mom's Macbook Pro running Linux Mint!Again, I can't praise the NetBSD team enough for such achievements. Thank you so much for your hard work that clearly shows that you dogfood your development!<a href="https://c.im/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSD</a>

Daniel Wayne ArmstrongUpdated post!The first time I installed NetBSD I used `sysinst`, a menu-based program that runs in the console. It has a concise layout and I was quickly up-and-running on my new BSD system.For my next install I wanted to include disk encryption to protect personal data in case the device is lost or stolen. There is a trade-off to be made between how much to encrypt, the convenience of operating the system, and the ability for the system to boot...<a href="https://www.dwarmstrong.org/netbsd-encrypt-install/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.dwarmstrong.org/netbsd-encrypt-install/</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a>

SamOk so, please explain it like I’m five, <a href="https://social.coop/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSD</a> folx.

I think it took until 2019 or 2020 for the defaults to change to not having automatic failover to the system's primary ethernet. Server management is best done over serial. For contemporary x86, I just install some kind of Pi which can be accessed via IPv6. It provides a serial console and the ability to do a hardware reset of the x86 system. There's no sense in having a dedicated BMC that's too fragile to put on the Internet on its own, or paying for the datacenter to provide OOB connections to those fragile BMCs. Perhaps I'll change my mind when I can run <a class="hashtag" href="https://zia.io/tag/netbsd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> on common (Aspeed) BMCs.
