  Looks like, with the great help of @AnachronistJohn@zia.io , @abs0@mastodon.sdf.org and @jaypatelani@bsd.network , I switched my NetBSD system from using binary packages via pkgin to the pkgsrc and building packages from source :drgn_aww: https://eugene-andrienko.com/2026-09-07-bsd-pkgsrc-ports.html For now, it works and I'm able to have some packages in my system, with the necessary compile-time options. And only one version of Python interpreter installed, not two :drgn_blush_giggle:. Al...

  I found a new hobby :drgn_aww: — catch a fish, speak with it and release back to the lake, making photos during the process :drgn_blush_giggle: Looks like (at least in Russia) prices for this hobby are democratic enough — if you are a newbie, then you don't need to buy high-end fishing tacles, the food to feed the fish and the bait are dirt cheap. And, during the dark times, this could give some food, at least. #photography #AnimalPhotography #fishing #bleak #roach

  @grishka Должен быть, чтобы не забывали. А то вылезет снова какой-нибудь политик с рассказами про «защиту детей» 🤷🏻‍♂️

  Subscribed to freebsd-hackers maillist … and looking at the horrors of vibecoded shell-script to automatically perform some kind of etcupdate :drgn_stare_nervous: IMO, if you are vibecoding because you are unexpereinced in selected language — why not use the known language and write code with natural intelligence? At least the door to bugs and errors will not be so widely open, because you don't know the selected language and all things around it, and see some plausible looking code, st...

  As I wrote before (https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@evgandr/115912395421390028) I tried to use TURN server for communication with my relatives, but failed to setup secure enough solution. So, I decided to try an old and reliable solution — Asterisk. With the help of a book "Asterisk: The Definitive Guide" from J.V. Meggelen & R. Bryant & L. Madsen, of course. First, I was forced to build the asterisk package by myself (from ports, ofc), since the binary version from...

  @LukefromDC @eff Possibly, IMHO, this kind of shit will resemble the situation with torrents, but worse – because ~30 years passed and the politics learnt something about computers and Internet: both can be used to avoid state propaganda and to make horizontal connections between people, so they need less government and less state — and this is "bad" because old mans in suits loss their power and their narcissic resource (powerless citizens). So, I think, hosting Mastodon server somew...

  Shit, I want to end my blogpost about my usage of Dired in Emacs, write another blogpost about cheatsheets for not-every-day-used Emacs keybindings, write simple AF program for plain-text accounting for myself (with a very limited subset of ledger syntax) in a Common Lisp with the help of #ecl and Natural Intelligence (since almost all software for plaintext accounting are proudly slopware nowadays and I can't rely on it and can't trust my accounting to such slopware), countinue...

  Ok, I'm tired from that shit. Start to make a thing and start banning LLM-bots by the whole AS (inspired by the corresponding @Soblow threads :drgn_heart: ), since npf table cannot become larger infinitely. #AInt #LLMbots #homelab #selfhosting

  Wrote new article — about how to use some ThinkPad-specific keys with FreeBSD. Most of the Fn-keys and volume control separate keys could be uses "as is" — the OS passes the proper and well-known keycodes (like XF86audioMute, etc) to the X server. But some keys needs some "black magic" (devd and acpi_ibm kernel module). The bonus point — how to use ThinkLight to signal about low battery level with Morse code :drgn_aww: https://eugene-andrienko.com/it/2026/03...

  Whoops, #ImageMagick was updated in the #FreeBSD repos :drgn_flat_sob: Sadly, it is a #slopware version — time to make "pkg lock".
