NetBSD’s Kernel Supports Lua Scripting But Don’t Look For Rust In There Anytime Soon
For those not fond of the increasing use of the Rust programming language within the Linux kernel or FreeBSD’s considerations for Rust in its kernel, you can perhaps find refuge within NetBSD. One of the NetBSD developers has explained why you likely won’t be finding Rust code within the NetBSD kernel anytime soon… ⌘ Read more
@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Yes; however the interpreter is also platform dependent and relies on making raw syscalls. This is so the runtime semantics remain the same between the two execution modes.
I’ll see if I can add support for linux/amd64 and netbsd/amd64 for the VM at least.
Shin'ya M. > ./bin/mu
panic: native backend does not support syscall platform netbsd/amd64
goroutine 1 [running]:
git.mills.io/prologic/mu/internal/native/arm64.init.0()
/home/shinyoukai/mu/internal/native/arm64/emitter.go:45 +0x7bf
…that was supposed to be the interpreter?
@prologic@twtxt.net well I ran into a panic() in netbsd/amd64 so there’s that
os.UserCacheDir(), it seems that the Go devs hasn't acknowledged the $XDG_DATA_DIR yet
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You could always take a peek at the Go source
Posted from mikuru/0.0.3 @ NetBSD amd64
In the NetBSD host, where http://status.chaotic.ninja is running (left out the TLS for now), I patched Gatus to use mattn/go-sqlite3
Side effects of having a NetBSD server: I can use it to build things for my computer (also running NetBSD)

I’ve rebuilt ntfy with the web interface, though it took me an hour or so of JavaScript dependency hell and a certain library whose native interface doesn’t have support for NetBSD
On Linux:Step 1. Clone ntfy repository as usual
Step 2.
export NODE_ENV=productionStep 3.
make web-buildStep 4. Make a tarball with the generated assets and copy it over
Step 5. Repeat the above mentioned first step
Step 6. Unpack the assets into
server/Step 7. Build backend with
make cli-linux-serverStep 8. Done

A critical look at NetBSD’s installer
NetBSD is an OS that I installed only a couple of times over the years, so I’m not very familiar with its installer, sysinst. This fact was actually what led to this article (or the whole series rather): Talking to a NetBSD developer at EuroBSDcon 2023, I mentioned my impression that NetBSD was harder to install than it needed to be. He was interested in my perspective as a relative newcomer, and so I promised to take a closer look and write about it. While … ⌘ Read more
Harpoom: of course the Apple Network Server can be hacked into running Doom
Of course you can run Doom on a $10,000+ Apple server running IBM AIX. Of course you can. Well, you can now. Now, let’s go ahead and get the grumbling out of the way. No, the ANS is not running Linux or NetBSD. No, this is not a backport of NCommander’s AIX Doom, because that runs on AIX 4.3. The Apple Network Server could run no version of AIX later than 4.1.5 and there are substan … ⌘ Read more

Exploring the (discontinued) hybrid Debian GNU/kFreeBSD distribution
For decades, Linux and BSD have stood as two dominant yet fundamentally different branches of the Unix-like operating system world. While Linux distributions, such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora, have grown to dominate the open-source ecosystem, BSD-based systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD have remained the preferred choice for those seeking security, performance, and licensing flexibility. … ⌘ Read more
NetBSD on a JavaStation
Back when Java was still a new programming language, Sun had the idea of building a computer specifically designed for Java, unique processor running byte-code as its native machine code and all. This whole endeavour proved to be more complicated than Sun had hoped, and as such, they eventually abandoned the idea of a Java processor in favour of plain SPARC. When the JavaStation shipped, it was a regular SPARC workstation without a hard drive, running something called JavaOS from fla … ⌘ Read more
