I dunno, I remember learning about the SNES vs Genesis when I was in middle school.

It does.

A quick look at the sidebar and hovering over, one of the moderators of this community appears to be a lemmy.world admin if that’s what you mean.

Considering how big lemmy.world is, I’d guess it’s more a bit of overlap than it being the same people.

I definitely tend to think short term. If I enjoy the process, then I can go long term, but I am prone to short term thinking.

I’m trying to think more long term though. 😓

I’d seriously suggest looking into the history of Usenet or maybe even Fidonet and BBSes in general if you want to look at distributed forums that don’t have Reddit-like karma systems as examples, and the lessons you can draw from them.

One of the first things, as someone who came of age long after the heyday of Usenet, I noticed was how similar Usenet is to Reddit as a forum.

Also don’t forget to update your NetBSD torrents!

For VPN I do like AirVPN a lot.

I do currently use Bitwarden for my 2FA as well as my passwords, though I should look into Ente Auth.

Well now I want to see a benchmark that pits the Wii U against a PowerMac G5 👀

I remember thinking “this could be possible” ten years ago when I realized that The GameCube, Wii, and Wii U were all running what was effectively a G3 processor.

Definitely happy to see that it’s since come to fruition. 😄

I’ll be honest, I forget that NodeBB has become federated. Despite having run into an actual incompatibility problem between Piefed and NodeBB. 😅

I personally use Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin/etc. for social news rather than bolted on forum-like features. That’s where I think this software shines.

If you want a decentralized forum, I’d seriously recommend you look at Usenet and NNTP. Then again, I promote the usage of network protocols for what they are good at over forcing everything through the web. 😂

Yeah, iirc it was a former NetBSD developer who made Void.

Alpine still honestly feels more BSDish in some ways than Void to me. Probably has to do with Alpine’s install scripts being similar to OpenBSD’s.

I’ll be honest, I’ve learned the hard way that there really isn’t any 1:1 BSD experience on Linux. Some may have similar packaging systems, but the base system depends on packages on Linux-based OSes. A shame because my favorite thing about BSDs is that packages are optional.

That being said, I do think the most BSD-like experience with the Linux kernel is going to be Chimera Linux, which was, funnily enough, created by a former Void developer.

Definitely a very good post.

It reminds me of Chimera Linux’s stance on systemd, which I found to be the best explanation on systemd before these blog posts.

You know, I remember when 9front said things about Ruby

It eventually found itself redacted under different unfortunate circumstances.

Eventually, there became nothing

Yeah, I describe OpenBSD as very easy… for those already who are already quite familiar with Unix.

Very nice for setting up quick servers.

Getting more into the BSDs.

I have OpenBSD as a desktop on a laptop I have and it’s great.

Also wanting to get back into retrocomputing.

Fair enough. A lot of us are something along the lines of androids, and that’s probably more an oversimplification of the species that’s the primary demographic of the system.

We can probably fairly easily modify this/make our own graphics to represent us at the least. Might have to get the resident graphic designers in our plural collective onto this.

The artist likes foxes.

Not my instance (I’m posting from PieFed lol), but I noticed that lemmy.blahaj.zone has five UIs, including mlmym, set up.

One of us in the plural collective running this account is admittedly interested in modifying the fox in the notice to her specific species of fox for our notice. :3
