spotify-player is a custom Spotify player built and tweaked based on my personal
preferences. It is fast, easy to use, and configurable.

~/.shrc tips.

https://www.unitedbsd.com/d/569-shrc-tips

Time for another thread about using sh(1) as an interactive shell. I thought about this while claining up my configuration file. Did you recently revised yours? Any good tip or convenient function to share? Please share them below...

NetBSD - A little guide for newcomers.

Updated (2021-06-21): When I installed NetBSD for the first time, I remember I’d to collect bits and pieces of information from different places, some of which were rather old and outdated. So, I’ve decided to write this stuff down and publish it here.
Hope that it helps anyone looking to install and configure NetBSD as a laptop/desktop daily driver, if it helps one single soul, I’d be happy!
I'll try to keep this updated on a regular basis

Install NetBSD 9.2 on a DEC Alpha CPU in QEMU with X11

This is a guide on installing and running NetBSD for the Alpha CPU architecture on QEMU, including a GUI (X11 via VNC). It requires you to patch and compile QEMU yourself...

NetBSD Explained: The Unix System That Can Run on Anything.

While Linux distributions may get the greatest amount of ink in the open-source world, people often overlook the BSD family. One BSD variant, NetBSD, has stuck around because of its commitment to portability.

wsfont - hanging the default NetBSD console font.

The default built-in font, Boldface, which is loaded at boot-time on a framebuffer (whether genfb or DRM) console is too small as it is 8x16. The other font built into the kernel is Boldface 16x32, and this, if you load it, will give you a console approximating a 80x25 screen--ie. this font is too large.

The solution that is usually advocated to get a reasonable-size font is to a) edit the kernel config, b) add one of the fonts in /usr/src/sys/dev/wsfont/ using directives like options FONT_SPLEEN16x32, and c) then recompile the kernel. But, this is a pain. Simpler to write a program to suck in the fonts and load them into the kernel as needed. This is what the code below does.

FreeBSD from a NetBSD user’s perspective.

I’ve been a NetBSD developer for three years and it’s been my primary operating system for a long time too - on everything: routers, laptops, Raspberry Pis, PowerPC mac minis, Vortex86 embedded boards, and servers.

I’ve recently been using FreeBSD a lot at work. We have a lot of servers and embedded boards running it, and I was given the option of installing anything I wanted on my workstation. I chose FreeBSD to maintain a separation of BSDs between my work and home life ;)

NetBSD on the Vortex86DX CPU.

I'm not exactly sure how I first heard about the Vortex86 CPUs, I think it was either when seeing the demonstration video on KolibriOS project site showcasing the system running on a DMP EBOX machine, or when skimming NetBSD's identcpu.c code. Or did the discovery of the machine prompted me to check if the CPU would be correctly probed by the NetBSD's kernel?

Using NetBSD’s pkgsrc everywhere I can.

NetBSD’s pkgsrc package manager is the best thing since sliced bread. Like everything the NetBSD maintainers touch, it’s high quality, well documented, predictable, and portable to a fault. I use it everywhere I can, from my macOS and FreeBSD laptops to remote Linux machines. This has lead people on social networks to ask me why, and to give examples.

Interview with Abhinav Upadhyay, NetBSD contributor and machine learning software developer

Abhinav Upadhyay is an Indian software developer, the NetBSD project contributor, and works with the exciting field of machine learning (ML). Recently I did a quick Q and A with Abhinav about his life-changing journey with NetBSD, getting started with ML and FLOSS community, and his daily workflow.

NetBSD - Not Just For Toasters.

NetBSD may seem like an exotic choice for an operating system. But it is actually a decent desktop OS for developers and a rock-solid server OS, in the cloud as well as on old hardware. Come for the freedom from systemd, stay for the great packages, modern features and enthusiastic community!

In this talk, I will give reasons why adopting NetBSD makes sense, show some cool hardware that you can run NetBSD on, and talk about new features in the upcoming NetBSD 9 release.
