  2. Citizen Astronomy (CAst)
    by ÖgetayKayali
    github.com/OgetayKayali/citize

    Every clear night, amateur telescopes around the world capture photons that professional observatories never will -- the right patch of sky, at the right moment, with enough patience to notice something change. Citizen Astronomy turns those images into science.

    CAst is a desktop application (Windows installer primary; unsigned macOS .app zip available for alpha testers) that takes folders of FITS and XISF images and gives you the tools to measure variable stars, discover moving asteroids, build Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, and explore the sky -- all from one guided interface, no command-line scripting required.

    Please read more details in ALT-Texts of images. These images are just a few examples of the sophisticated use-cases of this software!

  3. True digital literacy isn't generated; it's understood. 💡

    On this Literacy Day, step away from the opaque shortcuts of AI, dive into the clean NetBSD source code, and empower human curiosity from the bare metal up. Read the source, master the system, and keep human craftsmanship alive. 📖⚙️

  9. NetBSD 9.x erreicht das Support-Ende

    Zum Abschied von NetBSD 9.x gibt es noch einmal einige Sicherheits- und Stabilitätskorrekturen. Ein Umstieg auf NetBSD 10 oder 11 wird ausdrücklich empfohlen.

    They rolled their own nonce argv processing. I can still viably claim to be the first to have put #getopt mechanisms into #dd. (-:

    It is good to see that someone has invented a short option set for a similar tool. I can nick it.

  19. @okapi

    You won't get #dd to not have long options. It's had long options for the entirety of its existence, from about 15 years before #getopt long options were even invented.

    What this does is give them the standard Unix syntax with dashes, in addition to the existing original JCL syntax.

    The only supposed worse interface that this encourages is that which the dd command itself has had all along. (-:

  24. I just found Advanced C Programming for Displays by Marc J. Rochkind in the #UsedBooks shop. It's from 1988. #unix #msdos

  25. 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.

  26. bhyve inside a jail sounds like a stunt. It isn’t.

    FreeBSD has supported it since 12.0, and it turns the hypervisor into one more manageable jail: delegated ZFS, VNET, vm-bhyve, devfs rules and all.

    Here is my complete production setup, including the security caveats

  27. A week ago, I treated myself to a new monitor: the BenQ MA270S, a 27-inch model with 5K resolution, 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, and much more. The picture quality is incredibly sharp—the best I’ve ever seen! It was actually meant to connect to my MacBook Pro, but of course, it works just as perfectly with all my Linux and Windows computers. Once you’ve experienced 5K resolution, you’ll never want to go back. And this monitor is significantly cheaper than an Apple Studio Display, which ONLY works with Apple. But this model works great with ANY operating system! I’ve never seen my Debian look this crystal clear!

    After a week of intensive use, I can wholeheartedly recommend this monitor to everyone—and no, this isn’t a paid advertisement from BenQ, but my honest opinion.

  33. @jaruzel @StefanoGaivota interesting! To me, #retrocomputing covers early #eightbit (and #sixteenbit) personal computers, and #vintagecomputing covers #mainframe, #minicomputer and #workstation machines (the latter category being composed of #LispMachines, graphical #unix workstations and of course the #XeroxParc machines).
