Honestly, I love how slick they look even when I&#39;m dealing with text-only pages. In fact, it&#39;s a great advantage when a webpage doesn&#39;t dictate to the client a graphical straitjacket; thus, a text-only website can afford to be timeless and, in the same time, give font freedom: if you want to soak your eyes in Arial, be my guest; it won&#39;t infringe my right to just view the page from Emacs or a terminal with a fancy modern font or with Comic Sans or whatever else...<br/><br/>Also, if I happen to like a serif font or, to echo a discussion I&#39;ve seen around, a BSD or systemd-free Linux distribution, don&#39;t assume I&#39;m some right-winger. 2026-05-29T03:00:20Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqzxxydmk9fr6qhgrdmkqlcfjsre3wf39sxl8wz7drd70xt8c77lszyqf5fg54sdj04a57kxc37nt30uyaafeljgjc0c466p54nj8j5ljt6xclrj8 There are only about 400 #Gopher servers left in the world in 2026... does it matter?

It just isn&#39;t on-par with OpenBSD&#39;s support for things it claims to support. Linux&#39;s kernel+GNU userspace would still work fine for many systems that NetBSD/OpenBSD supports if they wouldn&#39;t have started going all-in on adopting things like Rust.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;...while [NetBSD] claims to support a lot of old hardware and it does to some extent they are not doing as much testing as the OpenBSD project does. I can always be sure if OpenBSD claims to support a piece of hardware that it&#39;ll at least boot on it. This isn&#39;t true of NetBSD. There are a lot of older architectures NetBSD claims to support but if you attempt to install NetBSD on them you&#39;ll quickly run into various types of errors (if it boots at all). They just don&#39;t seem to have enough man power to keep support going for a lot of things they used to support or they aren&#39;t testing current versions of their OS on them. Most likely, whomever initially ported NetBSD over years ago just hasn&#39;t checked in awhile. But the release notes and man pages rarely seem to get updated.<br/><br/>This isn&#39;t 100% their fault. It&#39;s hard to keep a lot of things building on older architectures and machines now. Since a lot of projects have left everything but x86 and ARM behind and don&#39;t care if they break support for things outside of those two architectures. Hell even within x86 and ARM they don&#39;t care if they break 32-bit support and now expect you to run 64-bit.&#34; 2026-05-28T04:38:53Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs28xmvafkky0nk55wpmx4h987q5rccleu6942kua7eh8w7ph8k73czyqf5fg54sdj04a57kxc37nt30uyaafeljgjc0c466p54nj8j5ljt6d4jnel I&#39;ve warned my normie friends that I&#39;m fed up with FB Messenger and WhatsApp and that I&#39;m going to self-host an alternative and if they want to keep in touch with me, they have to contact me there... Now I&#39;m left wondering what&#39;s more lightweight for my modest budget VPS between #Matrix and #XMPP (probably the latter?) and what might favor a smooth transition later to an #OpenBSD VPS (might switch from Hostinger to OpenBSD Amsterdam, though both seem to rely to some degree on bloody Cloudflare)... probably XMPP? 2026-05-26T17:41:35Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgzwarjj7fwduxa2h3qgcc8cpc0rtnhz7hquztaj22cjkezkulcyczyqf5fg54sdj04a57kxc37nt30uyaafeljgjc0c466p54nj8j5ljt68zqlwa I&#39;m a nobody who sucks at programming, so what do I know? Nothing, except paying attention to people who really seem to have expertise and a track record of doing work that matters, even if they are opinionated and seem to be insufferable as human beings, and trying to make sense of their arguments.<br/>So when such people are warning that rushing AI code and Rust into production may be ill-conceived, and that it&#39;s really suspicious that systemd of all things is implementing ID verification just as Lennart Poettering left Microsoft to cofound a company focused on integrity verification for Linux... and the other camp is just replying with either insults, accusations of conspiracy nutjobs or &#34;resistance is futile&#34; type of comments... who am I to believe? Certainly not those who seem to lack arguments... 2026-05-26T06:59:49Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsp90flg3u43nh4vt5g6zdea02h4jxc85fq8r74xe4vhh92pvtw9sszyqf5fg54sdj04a57kxc37nt30uyaafeljgjc0c466p54nj8j5ljt62677j2 #Gemini in #elpher on #Emacs<br/><br/> <img src="https://media.bsd.cafe/bsdmmedia01/media_attachments/files/116/636/419/812/171/599/original/1114e20f49fcefd6.png"> 2026-05-25T17:38:39Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsftxjfuft5qhysvwez2fx2ezcsdtf7qxd0pw8vu474yh494cmk47szyqf5fg54sdj04a57kxc37nt30uyaafeljgjc0c466p54nj8j5ljt606y67a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswkw7m9hvg65nax4lr3rln69c7tkdtasdg0j9c9ncunq6umddj9dcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qz4drpw'>nevent1q…drpw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqr76cd2gywmvq6seryp4k3f7gm5wkuem7xyngcdn8g7zum3kmq0hs37q6qh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>bpl</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…q6qh</span>)</a></span> I did try lynx when I was beta testing my Hubzilla instance and it was... an underwhelming experience.

On the other hand, changing the language on my keyboard when using cwm instead of something like KDE?...<br/><br/>setxkbmap -layout ro does not output an error, but still doesn&#39;t mean it actually switched me to Romanian (however, something like French actually just works). wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=ro outputs the error that ro is not a valid encoding. According to the documentation, encodings are apparently listed in /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h - and indeed, there seems to be no &#34;ro&#34; in there. Changing locale didn&#39;t seem to help either.<br/><br/>Then I took a deep dive into the man page of wsconsctl(8). There it says: &#34;The current mapping can be printed with wsconsctl keyboard.map. The value for each keycode specifies the keysym that is output when each of Key, Shift + Key, AltGr + Key, or Shift + AltGr + Key is pressed&#34; A magic thing then happens... I test wsconsctl keyboard.map+=&#34;keycode 15 = l L at&#34; - afterwards, I see in the keyboard mapping &#34;l L at at&#34;; the output is a Polish l=L with slash. I decide to test AltGr with every other key on my keyboard...<br/><br/>I burst into laughter when I realized that I do have now Romanian characters: they were hidden in plain sight, usable with AltGr as modifier. I can&#39;t seem to spot them in keyboard.map, where according to the documentation all keysyms should be specified. Maybe setxbkmap did the magic on top? At least I am grateful I can type ăâșîț and not have to copy paste the characters. 2026-05-10T12:38:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsx94gdm9szskvp35xz4fukk78l8fy3gzrthu3cm0fxq2wc7qhlx5czyqf5fg54sdj04a57kxc37nt30uyaafeljgjc0c466p54nj8j5ljt6yj0pkd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp8046klsdxz3tfld3yxuywt6ujwpngpv9pvdl5vghsm96pclkgxqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43q0pe4f2'>nevent1q…e4f2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq00tfdsq0h23ayntnqwands9w8xslx4d2t72kk2jhf376g2tatx6qe9h3v3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>matthew - retroedge.tech</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…h3v3</span>)</a></span> On one of my Linux systems I still have KDE with Karousel.
