Ceci n’est pas un Mac mini. 🎨
As Magritte might have said, appearances can be deceiving.
It may look like a Mac mini, but it’s actually a Raspberry Pi 4B in a custom case I designed and 3D printed with my Bambu Lab A1 mini.
And, of course, it proudly wears the NetBSD logo.
Who needs a Mac mini when you can have a little NetBSD box of your own? 😄

Let’s not talk about Fedora 31, which was released on this day seven years ago! 🙃

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 24, 2026, I’ll be speaking at Linux Day in Modena, with a talk titled “Beyond Linux: A Journey Through the Open Source Ecosystem.”
Will I talk about Linux? Of course. But I’ll also talk about BSD, illumos, monocultures, and why we should never forget that there are always other paths worth exploring.
Linux proved that an alternative was possible. It would be a shame if that alternative became, in turn, a new imposition.
Because monocultures are a problem, even in the Open Source world. And because freedom isn’t about everyone doing things the same way, but about being able to choose a different way.
Open Source and closed minds don’t mix.
Domani, sabato 24 ottobre 2026, sarò al Linux Day di Modena con un intervento dal titolo «Oltre Linux: viaggio nell’ecosistema Open Source».
Parlerò di Linux? Certamente. Ma parlerò anche di BSD, illumos, di monoculture e di quanto sia importante non dimenticare che esistono sempre altre strade.
Linux ha dimostrato che un’alternativa era possibile. Sarebbe un peccato se quell’alternativa diventasse, a sua volta, una nuova imposizione.
Perché le monoculture sono un problema, anche nel mondo Open Source. E perché la libertà non è fare tutti le cose allo stesso modo, ma poter scegliere di farle diversamente.
Open Source e Closed Mind non vanno mai d’accordo.

How?
»Sure, but #MIT / #BSD additionally lets you close down downstream forks, like Google has been doing for example. Non-AI economy is in the shitter right now and we’re only going to see more of this.
The license choice matters. This situation, albeit indirectly, proves it: companies haven’t “grown up to appreciate open-source”. It was a fad that lasted only as long as the line was going up.«
Linux is exempt from California’s age verification law as long as it is distributed under the GPL, MIT, BSD, and Apache licenses

GEFS on OpenBSD, a very early preview.
Ori Bernstein is porting GEFS, the crash-safe, snapshotting, copy-on-write filesystem originally written for 9front, to OpenBSD.
FreeBSD 14.5 macht das Unix-System alltagstauglicher
FreeBSD 14.5-RELEASE bringt Linux-kompatibles inotify, aktualisierte Toolchains und behebt UEFI-Boot-Probleme.
NetBSD 9.x erreicht das Support-Ende
Zum Abschied von NetBSD 9.x gibt es noch einmal einige Sicherheits- und Stabilitätskorrekturen. Ein Umstieg auf NetBSD 10 oder 11 wird ausdrücklich empfohlen.
More on KDE’s fight for #efficiency: We have driven down the number of unconfirmed #bug reports to its lowest levels in over a decade and are managing to keep it there.
To improve that number further, we need your help:

#Mastodon tip: There is a way to use only part of a word as a hashtag!
For example, you might want to say the word “toots”, but use the hashtag “toot”.
To do this, place a U+2060 WORD JOINER before the “s” in “toots”. Example: #toots.
If you’re using #X11 or #Wayland (i.e. #Linux or #BSD desktop), you can add the following line to ~/.XCompose to give yourself a keyboard shortcut:
<Multi_key> <w> <j> : “” U2060 # WORD JOINER
Then just type Compose, then W, then J.
