BingoBoingo thinks it would be fair to say Linux is silk shirt, FreeBSD is wool shirt, OpenBSD is hair shirt, and
NetBSD is rolling around naked in poison ivy
BingoBoingo:
netbsd's cost was too high in the need to know it existed at the time
BingoBoingo:
NetBSD because he knows he can't beat Theo in a profanity war
BingoBoingo: decimation: At this rate Linus is going to become a
NetBSd dev
BingoBoingo: PinkPosixPXE: Yeah, talking about specific hardware I cooked before trying to gen GPG keys using the
NetBSD PGP implementation
BingoBoingo: PinkPosixPXE: Know any way to seed an entropy pool in
NEtBSD on MacSE/30?
BingoBoingo used
NetBSD's GPG fork on my MacSE/30 this fucking spring
midnightmagic: It works. When teams can't work directly together, as in
NetBSD and OpenBSD, the two teams can cooperate very effectively as separate teams.
midnightmagic: working on a codebase of sufficient size is not reasonably doable for a single person, even if that person is working full-time. Temporarily divergent codebases similar to, e.g.
NetBSD and OpenBSD, are an excellent example of the fruits of multiple, medium-sized groups working on partially-divergent codebases who together created more in a cohesive whole than either group did on their own.
BingoBoingo: Other than that... It is a better option for that Mac SE/30 than
Netbsd gribble: (wtf [is] <something>) -- Returns wtf <something> is. 'wtf' is a *nix command that first appeared in
NetBSD 1.5. In most *nices, it's available in some sort of 'bsdgames' package.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I won't confirm or deny it. Maybe Open BSD, maybe
NetBSD, maybe FreeBSD.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Only off by a few decades. When he was kicked out of
netBSD Computer to me meant the spider trap Apple II+ in the basement.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Actual for obscure and old hardware OpenBSD seems to have better hardware and human support than
NetBSD. At least that seems the experience on 68k machines
pankkake:
netbsd makes many claims about architectures, but many are also broken
pankkake: well I hope
netbsd devs actually understand the code their are touching
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Consumer electronics manufacterers love
NetBSD.
pankkake: no one cares about
netbsd either
BingoBoingo: Sure, urbit was from scratch, but it can't find anyone capable of actually building anything from scratch. Minix is that ancient thing, couldn't sell textbooks anymore and then they just ripped
NetBSD and people still don't care about it.
BingoBoingo: It's like how apparently MINIX 3 i supposed to be a big thing when they just made small changes to the MINIX kernel and just ripped the old
NetBSD userland.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: B&W mac running
NetBSD, Trying to create an RSA key pair of decent size on it.
BingoBoingo: It might be. It's a fucking motorola 68030 chip.
NetBSD is alway lacking in the minority architectures.
BingoBoingo: So... in other news
NetBSD has their own GPG like program called NetPG. Built on the Mac SE/30
BingoBoingo: pankkake: I haven't crossed that bridge yet with
NetBSD BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Maybe/Probably. I've found a QR code gun for its weird Serial port though. The only reason I'm thinking SE/30 is
NetBSD won't build on the Mac Classic I have as it requires the 030 or 020 plus coprocessor.
