I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it’s about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I’d like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try?

[$] Nyxt: the Emacs-like web browser
Nyxt is an unusual web
browser that tries to answer the question, “what if Emacs was a
good web browser?”. Nyxt is not an Emacs package, but a full
web browser written in Common Lisp and available under the BSD
three-clause license. Its target audience is developers who want a
browser that is keyboard-driven and extensible; Nyxt is also developed
for Linux first, rather than Linux being an afterthought or just a
sliver of its audience. The philosophy (as described … ⌘ Read more

[$] OpenH264 induces headaches for Fedora
Software patents and workarounds for them are, once again,
causing headaches for open-source projects and users. This time
around, Fedora users have been vulnerable to a serious flaw in the OpenH264 library for
months—not for want of a fix, but because of the Rube\
Goldberg machine methodology of distributing the library to Fedora
users. The software is open source under a two-clause BSD license; the RPMs are … ⌘ Read more

Multiple security issues in Screen
The SUSE Security Team has published
an article detailing several security\
issues it has uncovered with GNU Screen. This includes
a local root exploit when Screen is shipped setuid-root, as it is in
some Linux and BSD distributions. The security team also reports [problems\
in coordinating disclosure … ⌘ Read more

@bender@twtxt.net Mainly the bsd.cafe ones. I like how the minimalist single column profiles look. Image embeds are full width and reading through threads feels nice (as in it doesn’t feel like pealing layers upon layers of a fresh onion).

[ANN] Monero Remote Node Monitoring project updates

Since my last post on Reddit in June 2024, there have been some major changes and new features.

* updated the license from GLWTS to a more widely recognized and permissive one (BSD-3-Clause)
* UI: switched from SvelteKit to Templ+HTMX to reduce external dependencies
* added support for monitoring both IPv6 and I2P nodes
* set up a Tor Hidden service for the web UI

@adi@twtxt.net Dragonfly BSD - that is one OS I have never run properly before - but I’ve always wanted too. Also not often at all I see that OS being mentioned ‘in the wild’.

Now tell me how can I prevent monerod from hogging on my CPU. I’m on DragonFly BSD, cpulimit doesn’t works, also nice doesn’t. I believe this is an IRC question.

Well, it was not a proper fix, more like a duck-tape mend, the right thing to do is to add a BSD branch and fix the calls to BSD’s awk and fmt so they produce the data in the way the rest of the code expects it. #txtnish #gnu #bsd

@mdom@domgoergen.com: I’m using txtnish on FreeBSD and I had to switch it to gawk (not sure why BSD awk fails) and disable color. Just fyi. I didn’t look into it any further.
