TechSpot: Windows 11 can now reinstall itself from the cloud, no USB stick required. “Windows 11 Insider Beta Preview Build 26220.9343 introduces a new reinitialization option that downloads a factory version of the OS from the cloud. The new feature lets users and IT administrators reset a device without needing a USB stick or a custom image.”

The Importance of the BSD Operating Systems
Introduction NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD represent more than just operating systems in many cases--in some popular accounts, the three operating systems are associated with legacies and tradition, with open-source software representing the core of the systems. Regardless of the specific operating system, common features include a tty interface and the use of the BSD kernel, with many UNIX-like commands such as cd, ls, cp, rm, mv, echo, and rmdir commonplace in each system. Testing […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/the-importance-of-the-bsd-operating-systems/

i now live in a world where i have to accept that if i want an operating system that i can actually use, it WILL have been developed with some amount of AI usage
do i like that? no, of course not
but is it true? yes, and to say otherwise is to be wilfully ignorant

Spotted in my RSS feeds: Defrag98, a Windows 98 defrag simulation. I would be very concerned if my hard drive had ever sounded like this simulation, but I like the defrag part.

MakeUseOf: I stopped memorizing Linux commands and started playing this instead. “There are plenty of Linux terminal commands that can make the shell feel less intimidating, but memorizing them from a list has never worked especially well for me.

Linux kernel nears record 2,000 vulnerabilities per release as AI bug hunters scour 40 million lines of code — maintainers say they are 'completely overwhelmed' by CVE finds

Officially Linux or other strictly open source licensed #operatingsystems are except from os verification laws the u.s. At least in California.
So as a User of tech you can just use that and never have to age verify at the os level.
However this doesn't yet get a clear answer for federated mastodon or other #activitypub services. There's still uncertainty.
But due to the decentralized nature you can as a user can just pick a specific hosted location whether a specific u.s state or a country that might not legally require an age verification.
-
When you realize a lot of the #ageverification has to do with #operatingsystems, social media and adult content. (And even AI chat bots)
What does all this have in common? Being connected to the Internet or cellular. What doesn't it effect.
Offline tech with zero app stores and zero downloadable content in an 'official' means for said hardware.
By using software on an offline device think DVD players or long pass discontinued devices like the Xbox 360 ps3 or Wii consoles with no official manufacture support or updates.
You as the user are legally in the clear you aren't responsible for not age verifying if said device is officially offline and unable to have any downloads officially not even let's say Nintendo would be in legal trouble if you were to put any type of app on it via homebrew you as the user wouldn't be either.
Modding an unsupported device is safer then using a device like a new Android phone if your trying to avoid age verification checks long term.
Any services you use that are online at at risk at the daily to force users to age verify. Duckduckgo? It's a matter of time.
Where you might have more leeway with this however is the complexity of Mastodon servers, Misskey servers, not all being centralized. Which can make it harder for the law to keep up with each individual server.
Android as a platform is liable, iPhone is liable, but if you're modding say an older psp that is better protected from age verification laws just because it's officially discontinued by Sony. Official online services and all.

California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law — software distributed under the GPL, MIT, BSD, and Apache licenses are exempt

We've all been there, but the #NetBSD way is different. Get the architecture right the first time. Why spend years fixing technical debt when you can build a stable, portable foundation from the start?
Reject automated bloat. RTAM( Read The Awesome Manual). Write code yourself. Run NetBSD.

Linux kernel: "What do you mean? I am a monolith as well."
Me: Oh, if we use "monolith," "monolith," "other software of different principles," "on top of others," that means we are still following the UNIX philosophy, regardless of the monolith parts' presence.

Lecture: Idris – Reviving an Early Unix Clone
by Michael Engel @me_
https://wiki.dfupdate.se/projekt:updateringar#upcomingWhen: 2026-04-11, 19:00 CEST
Where: Svartbäcksgatan 65, 75333 Uppsala
Stream: https://bbb.cryptoparty.se/rooms/upd-0mo-m2u-aq8/joinThe ideas behind #Unix have significant impact on the design of a large number of #operatingsystems. In addition to more recent systems modelled after Unix, such as Minix or Linux, early operating systems inspired by Unix, such as Coherent, Venix, and also the #Idris OS developed by the company Whitesmiths, existed already in the 1970s. For many years, almost the only information available about Idris was a short Wikipedia page. This has changed in 2025 when a #PD68 computer, an Idris-based Motorola 68000 system developed as a project of computer hobbyists in Sweden and Norway, was donated to the computer museum in Dalby. Subsequently, an international cooperation also managed to get hold of and run the #Atari ST port of Idris, which extends the regular Idris system by providing a version of the X10 window system. In this talk, we give details about the recovery of Idris using emulation on different abstraction layers. In addition, we give an introduction to the structure of Idris for Motorola 68k-based systems with a focus on enabling Unix to run on computers lacking virtual memory management.
See you there!

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Recently I have been sliding between Windows, Linux distributions and MacOS throughout the day. I use a mac for blogging, and Linux to experiment and learn new skills, and windows to watch Netflix and YouTube. I might be over-simplifying but that’s the simplified version.
Pi and Linux
I find that I have come to be at ease in all three environments, especially since playing around with Raspberry Pi devices. “Why?”, you may ask. Because with a Pi you can try dedicated images for Nextcloud, for PhotoPrism, for Immich and more. You can also try them for Ph-Hole and others. The advantage is also that you use microSD cards. This means that you slot in card A and try A1, then you slot B and try B1 and finally you try C with C1. In the end you’re trying instances with what could be thirty seconds with your Pi being a PhotoPrism server, before it becomes a NextCloud server, and so on. With enough SD cards if you mess up you can revert to something that you enjoyed using with a minute or two.
MacOS
I am using the Mac for blogging for one key reason. The git history for this blog has become too big for a sync in a single go and I need to learn how to sync just the last 10 changes, rather than the entire history, but that requires RTFM. I haven’t taken that time yet. It’s not laziness. It’s about having more interesting projects to work on before reaching this one.
Windows
I use the windows machine for media viewing habits because it’s plugged in to external screens and a monitor whereas the other two aren’t. I practiced using Chocolatey and PowerShell, as well as other windows related experiments. I also use it for flashing linux SD cards. It’s good at that because it has an SD card reader built in so I don’t need a dongle.
And Finally
In the 80s, as a child I played with the CLI, and norton commander, and DOS, and Windows 3.1. I installed games and chose sound cards and more. I used to see displays that recently I have seen quite regularly. It’s interesting that the CLI interface to NextCloud reminds me of when I was playing with computers as a child in the 80s. For decades I left the CLI behind, but now I’m back. I use it daily at the moment.
When I first started playing with Linux in the 90s I had to download the ROM, burn a CD or a DVD, and then attempt to install the OS on a computer. I would often succeed, and sometimes fail. Now, you don’t need to burn a DVD. You just flash a microSD card and you’re ready to go. You don’t even need to prepare a USB key, and wait for an install on a desktop. Experimentation is faster now.
The next step is to install Nextcloud, HomeAssistant, Pi-hole and PhotoPrism to play nicely on a single device.
