Updating all of pkgsrc. Unsure if that's wise, given being in the middle of a make and install. But, I can easily revert to the backup from just prior to today's shenanigans. :) linveo# export CVS_RSH="ssh"linveo# dateSat Mar 15 00:51:16 …

While NetBSD was compiling I was messing with the NetBSD evbaarm-aarch64 install ISO on another VPS at netcup. I didn't succeed in getting the Netcup VPS to fully boot the NetBSD aarch64 ISO. I could see the initial boot messages and 1,2 install fr…

TIL that I can read LES without Chrome's High Contrast Extension if I enable Dark Theme in my LES profile. Haha, I didn't even realize that LES had a Dark Theme available! Duh! :) I found an old LES thread from November 2019 where the LES Dark The…

Probably it isn't right to talk about Unix leftovers in Plan 9 without at least mentioning Plan 9's APE — The ANSI/POSIX Environment. As explained in the linked paper, APE provides a POSIX shell, a pdksh shell, a pseudo-tty, plus a POSIX and ANSI c…

NetBSD uses pkgsrc to compile and install self-compiled binaries for approximately 28,000 third-party programs which are not part of the NetBSD core. For quick reference, besides the pkgsrc.org site, there also is the pkgsrc section of the NetBSD wi…
