#NetBSD on the Wii U is WILD. "First you run a browser exploit, which causes it to run the Payload Loader Installer. The Payload Loader Installer replaces the Health and Safety application with the Payload Loader. The Payload Loader loads a Linux Loader, which then boots the NetBSD kernel." #eurobsdcon

Ich bin in Belgien im Zug an die Küste. Es ist früh, es hat Nebel, und es regnet leicht. Irgendwie questione ich gerade meine Life Choices.

Belgischer Zug? Oder eher Schweizer Zug?

Übrigens: im AM80, älter als ich, gibt es Steckdosen, in den modernen Doppelstockwagen nicht.

2.11BSD, released 35 years ago, gets the biggest patch ever!

Apparently, the patch file is so big that vi on the PDP-11 cannot deal with it 🤣

@wordshaper@weatherishappening.network @mhoye@cosocial.ca There was this internship in 2001 where I replaced AIX on an obsolete RS/6000 with a hacked up Linux and ran a DNS server on it. That was all the experience I had with AIX. The RS/6000 has a PowerPC 604e (PReP). At some point, I realized that the office printer *also* had a PPC 604e but a faster one 🤣

@icing@chaos.social If this was a commercial operation, I would say that your security rotation is severely understaffed. Six people minimum, with regularly scheduled shifts.

Bei den #SBB boomen die Verbindungen ins Ausland. Sie prognostizieren zum Beispiel, dass Direktzüge von London von ca. 6000 Personen pro Tag genutzt würden, gegenüber 130 Reisenden heute.

Finally managed to get a good setup for #pkgsrc updates with @jperkin@federate.me.uk's "bob" instead of using pkgrrxx or pkg_rolling-replace.

What is nice about this is that builds are in a sandbox, and build failures do not leave the system in an inconsistent state.

TIL that the opposite of the word loyal is disloyal in English but illoyal in German.

@mspro@fnordon.de Du kannst das in der Schweiz gerade live beobachten. Im Juni stimmen wir über eine Initiative ab, die 10 Millionen als Obergrenze der Bevölkerungszahl festschreiben will. Zahl zu hoch -- zack, kündigen wir Freizügigkeitsabkommen und lassen niemanden mehr rein. Und die meisten Medien schreiben so was hier: https://www.watson.ch/schweiz/interview/113926290-10-millionen-schweiz-sp-meyer-und-svp-dettling-im-streitgespraech Dagegen positioniert sich ausgerechnet die NZZ am Sonntag, eigentlich nicht gerade Teil der kommunistischen Internationale. Die Schlagzeile geht sinngemäss "Habt ihr denn vergessen, was dieses Land reich gemacht hat?"

«Wie viele Zuwanderer müssen noch kommen, Frau Meyer?»

Mattea Meyer und Marcel Dettling diskutieren wegen der Nachhaltigkeits-Initiative über Dichtestress, Wohnungsnoch, Fachkräftemangel und kriminelle Ausländer.
