    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

    @stefano I think if we are going to be analyzing RAM usage across OSes, then usage needs to be recorded every X minutes over a specific workload, with idle being baseline or control group. Just showing 270MB RAM at idle and then another single snapshot at 10GB of some kind of workload still doesn't tell much. It's difficult to infer anything else.
  • Finally got my NetBSD.org mail sorted!

    Wrote some words about simple, chroot-based sandboxing of programs in the NetBSD with the help of sandboxctl:https://eugene-andrienko.com/it/2025/09/15/sandboxctl-netbsd-little-howto.htmlP.S. Also, there is first, but not the last, blogpost with stickers from @D3shik #NetBSD #BSD #sandbox
