    A small update on NetBSD Cells 🙂I’ve spent some time recently polishing things up and have updated the project page. I also built a new evaluation DVD image so it’s easier to try the current state of the project.It now includes a few of the things I’ve been working on lately, like the reconcile engine in cellmgr, some early volume and backup management, and cellui for interactive administration.If you’re curious about where the project currently stands, I wrote a short status report here:https://www.petermann-digital.de/en/blog/netbsd-cells-status-report-2026q1/Project page and download:https://netbsd-cells.petermann-digital.de/Feedback, thoughts, and questions are always very welcome.#NetBSD #ModernRetrocomputing #devops #selfhosted

    My favourite experience regarding Wii homebrew so far has to be NetBSD. I wanted to use my Wii as a computer for a while now, and NetBSD being available as an operating system you can install and get going on an SD card and a Wii with the HBC is definitely the highlights of my Wii homebrew experience. I don't use my Wii much at the moment, as I don't even have a monitor I can use for my Wii yet, but I have used it for a while on a TV and it was nice.Networking is a bit hard, at least on the Wii however. I tried to get WiFi included in as a Wii image of NetBSD to burn, this was during my time on FreeBSD, and I just couldn't compile it. I was doing something weird where I would alternate between GCC and clang but that would have been a waste of time once it got to booting.Other than that, it was nice writing a fetch program entirely written in C using vi and man pages to get by. It was a nice break from writing things without an LSP to help, although I still love using modern features many editors provide, obviously excluding AI, so I will stick with that. I also found that Lua existed on it which definitely helped whenever I didn't want to write C.First *BSD post in a while, as I forgot to talk about the time I used NetBSD. I'll probably talk about Linux more at some point but I wanted to talk about *BSD a little again. Try NetBSD if you get the chance!#netbsd #homebrew #wii #tech #computers #programming
