#NetBSD 11.1 released
It represents a selected subset of changes deemed important to backport since the release of NetBSD 11.0 in August. It is fully compatible with NetBSD 11.0. This release primarily focuses on security and bug fixes, since our aim was to get it released as soon as possible to address certain security issues.
Ceci nโest pas un Mac mini. ๐จ
As Magritte might have said, appearances can be deceiving.
It may look like a Mac mini, but itโs 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? ๐

Letโs not talk about Fedora 31, which was released on this day seven years ago! ๐

When you say โI use Linuxโ and accidentally summon the entire BSD family.
Is a ThinkPad T480 i7-8550U |with 32GB / 256GB SSD with FHD and a 6-Cell Battery (1293) but no internal battery OK for say ยฃ480GBP ???? Looking for a #NetBSD daily driver. Also can the keyboards be changed on these say from UK to US and or backlit if the original doesnโt have?
Thanks in advance โฅ๏ธ.
To ease the transition for new users, #NetBSD -current now includes an alternative editor to vi(1) and xedit(1) in its base system, atto(1). man.netbsd.org/atto.1
It is a modeless screen-based editor similar to nano, pico, xedit, or emacs. It is only 48 kilobytes, making it suitable for inclusion in the rescue system.
(This is real, but Iโm honestly missing an opportunity by not posting it on 1 April. Let the editor wars commence!)

Psstโฆ Coffee time at BSD Cafe! โ๏ธ
It might be a little early, but if you fancy a sip of BSD, the Barista is ready to serve!
PS: many of you are trying, so the images server is out of bandwidth. It may be a little slow to boot ๐
Tomorrow, Saturday, October 24, 2026, Iโll be speaking at Linux Day in Modena, with a talk titled โBeyond Linux: A Journey Through the Open Source Ecosystem.โ
Will I talk about Linux? Of course. But Iโll 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 isnโt about everyone doing things the same way, but about being able to choose a different way.
Open Source and closed minds donโt mix.
Domani, sabato 24 ottobre 2026, sarรฒ al Linux Day di Modena con un intervento dal titolo ยซOltre Linux: viaggio nellโecosistema Open Sourceยป.
Parlerรฒ di Linux? Certamente. Ma parlerรฒ anche di BSD, illumos, di monoculture e di quanto sia importante non dimenticare che esistono sempre altre strade.
Linux ha dimostrato che unโalternativa era possibile. Sarebbe un peccato se quellโalternativa diventasse, a sua volta, una nuova imposizione.
Perchรฉ le monoculture sono un problema, anche nel mondo Open Source. E perchรฉ la libertร non รจ fare tutti le cose allo stesso modo, ma poter scegliere di farle diversamente.
Open Source e Closed Mind non vanno mai dโaccordo.
Hello, please immediately run the following commands on your #NetBSD installations:
certctl untrust /usr/share/certs/mozilla/all/emSignRoot_CA-_C1.pem
certctl untrust /usr/share/certs/mozilla/all/emSignECC_Root_CA-_C3.pem

Not as straightforward as on FreeBSD, but you can make your own read only NetBSD device quite easily. Iโve been doing it for years, and it works perfectly.

Many of you are starting to explore NetBSD, and itโs a great idea.
Why donโt you also consider to use it for your online presence?

Huh! #TodayILearned that #Haiku uses #NVMM as itโs hypervisor. NVMM is the hypervisor from #NetBSD and is also used by #DragonflyBSD.

if you are a new #NetBSD user here is a good way to think about what to expect on NetBSD:
NetBSD 11.0 runs about equally as well on my Sega Dreamcast or a 30 year old Pentium II PC as it does on any modern computer that i have. this goes both ways.
to know whether your modern gaming pc will be able to do something, you should first ask yourself: โcould i do this on a Sega Dreamcast or a 30 year old Pentium II PC?โ. if the answer is yes, you will probably succeed! if the answer is no, it still might be possible, but here be daemons.
for example:
-
can i ssh into it and edit files and compile little programs?
yes! absolutely! definitely. -
can i run a webserver?
indeed you can. -
can i install Steam?
hahahahaha no. -
can i run X11?
yep! may need to do some tweaking depending on your hardware though. -
can i run KDE plasma?
outlook not so good.
