snac.void.my is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@yrabbit @lymenzies People keep telling me it'll run on 64-bit #RaspberryPi but so far I've had no success with that. #NetBSD
@lymenzies
Well, depending on how far you get with run - here's a nice little thing - OrangePi Zero, #netbsd starts up, but the network card doesn't work 😉
So here's a random thought. Are there any 32 or 64-bit platforms where #netbsd doesn't run? I mean anything where at least a few thousand were produced. I'm not expecting Netbsd for CRAY, but I'm curious what's missing for the list of supported platforms.

🫰🏻 Let's Help NetBSD Cross the Finish Line Before 2025 Ends
「 Right now, The NetBSD foundation have raised $10,738 of $50,000 goal for the year. The foundation need one final push to help it cross the finish line and fully fund their work for the coming year.
If you donate today, your contribution will directly support critical, tangible projects that keep NetBSD modern, secure, and available to everyone 」

I've said somewhere I want to run NetBSD on a #286. Now obviously that's not actually possible, but I should be able to do the next best thing - run it on a 286 upgraded to a 486SLC!
But wait, most 286es only support 4MB RAM, although the ol' chum of a chip supports a whopping 16MB. So I have to find a motherboard that can do this.
Thing is, I already have one. See picture. But it's currently occupied doing very important Enterprisy stuff - it runs IBM OS/2 1.3 Extended Edition..but at least I know what I need!
All of those things are absolutely wonderful and make many of todays software developers look ... spoiled? What I want, however - and what I love doing - is making this old hardware do stuff its makers never dreamt of, things that are as far removed from their time as possible. That's why I will, if #NetBSD permits, run bleeding edge BSD on a 286-on-486steroids, and why I run web+ftp+irc servers (yes, multitaskign) on one 286 and multiple BBS nodes on a 386 - like one used to do, of course.
I cannot state often enough how amazing it is that there's still software developed today that will work under such constraints.
hotuser script from the OpenDTrace toolkit.Another issue is that the only way to stop dtrace is to kill -9 it, which takes the watched process with it in the fall..
Halp? :)

#netbsd contributed this morning 👹
Hehe, I left #netbsd installing on my #vax (a lowly #MicroVAX 3100/30, with 32MB RAM and 25MHz CPU) over the weekend. It's running on the network now, but is *spectacularly* slow, even on NetBSD 7.2 😂
It takes about 80 minutes to boot, and 2-3 minutes to login on a serial console.
It's effectively unusable, but was an interesting #retrocomputing exercise to get up and running. Ah well, back to #VMS.

Kurczę, co chcę sobie postawić coś „selfhosted” to na pierwszym miejscu Docker i Linux. Szukam w ports — nie ma.
Linux, Linux, Linux… Wszędzie…
A mi się śniło dziś, że @bobiko zachwalał instalację NetBSD i jeździł z ponadprzeciętną prędkością w terenie zabudowanym. Polonezem.
KUŹWA!

Because I like torturing my Pentium Pro, I'm mentioning this one here. Just in case it should be of interest to anyone. Beware of the slightly nsfw second post in the thread. It's late, my boss is visiting, I had a few beers. It seemed like a good idea at the time. ;)
NetBSD puts out a nice operating system that runs on _all kinds_ of strange hardware. They deserve to be able to keep doing that.
Consider donating -- they're a ways away from their 2025 fundraising goal!
Even if you don't run #NetBSD (I don't), consider donating! They're making an OS that can run on all kinds of of weird old hardware, from #Dreamcast to #PDAs to #ClassicMac, and much more.
Support #NetBSD and keep old hardware out of the dump!

Disclaimer: I've never run #NetBSD on actual hardware. More than anything, I'm just impressed and pleased that you can run a modern OS on weird shit like the #Dreamcast or old #PDAs.

🌘 攜手助 NetBSD 在 2025 年底前達成募款目標
➤ 社羣響應,為 NetBSD 的永續發展注入動能
✤ https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2025/10/26/msg033327.html
隨著 2025 年即將邁入尾聲,NetBSD 基金會正積極向使用者、愛好者及復古遊戲玩家呼籲,希望能藉由社羣的力量,達成年度 50,000 美元的募款目標。目前已募得 10,738 美元,尚有 39,262 美元缺口。捐款將直接用於 RISC-V 架支援與 Wi-Fi 網路堆疊現代化等關鍵專案,以確保 NetBSD 的持續發展與廣泛應用。NetBSD 不僅是開源作業系統,更是推動科技永續發展的重要力量,透過支援多樣化硬體,延長設備壽命,減少電子廢棄物。
+ 身為 NetBSD 的長期使用者,我非常支持這項募款活動。RISC-V 和 Wi-Fi 的更新對系統的未來至關重要。
+ 很高興看到 NetBSD 致力於永續發展,能讓舊設備重獲新生。我已經捐款了,也鼓勵大家分享訊息。
