OK, today, we've news about this! Due to hardware failure, the machine hosting undeadly has gone down last week. Thanks to the kind and swift help from OpenBSD.amsterdam, we're now back online. We will source new hardware for the original machine and hopefully move back again soon. https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260511202034 PS : The show must go-in on…

We’re releasing a brand new, open-source mouse design: the Bean, which is a pointing stick mouse (also called a nub mouse). (…) As with all of our other kits, the Bean is 3D-printed and fully open-source. Mechanical files, electrical files, and firmware have all been released, along with documentation on how to make and modify your own. It’s all on Github! https://ploopy.co/bean/ https://blog.ploopy.co/the-bean-is-here-435 https://github.com/ploopyco/bean-pointing-stick/

In the world of open source, trust is our most valuable currency. ONAP is a “collection of individual, semi-standalone network automation functions that provide design, orchestration, observability, and automation of network and edge services for operators, cloud providers, and enterprises” (per ONAP). When we build software that powers global telecommunications, “good enough” isn’t an option… https://openssf.org/blog/2026/05/07/the-road-to-gold-how-cps-set-a-new-standard-for-security-and-quality-in-open-source/

⇒ Open Infrastructure is Not Free: A Joint Statement on Sustainable Stewardship (2025/09/23) An Open Letter from the Stewards of Public Open Source Infrastructure Over the past two decades, open source has revolutionized the way software is developed. Every modern application, whether written in Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust, PHP, or beyond, depends on public package registries like Maven Central, PyPI, crates.io, Packagist and open-vsx to retrieve, share, and validate dependencies. These registries have become foundational digital infrastructure – not just for open source, but for the global software supply chain… https://openssf.org/blog/2025/09/23/open-infrastructure-is-not-free-a-joint-statement-on-sustainable-stewardship/ ⇒ Open Infrastructure Is Not Free, Part II: The Hidden Cost of Running Package Registries (2026/05/06) The September 2025 Working Together Towards Sustainable Open Source open letter raised the alarm about the economic sustainability of open source package registries, highlighting how rising adoption and the pace of innovation are placing new and growing pressures on open source package registries. Those pressures have only accelerated in the time since the letter, amplified by the adoption of AI coding agents and tools… https://openssf.org/blog/2026/05/06/open-infrastructure-is-not-free-part-ii-the-hidden-cost-of-running-package-registries/

Cybersecurity is often blamed for slowing projects down. But in the field, what really blocks projects is unclear rules, opaque processes, unknown timelines, and poorly defined responsibilities. https://tferdinand.net/en/security-does-not-block-projects.-ambiguity-does./

I've been getting into RISC-V by working on a fork of xv6 [0]. I started following RISC-V development from the beginning, but am only now writing code targeting the ISA -- and it's been fun! [0] https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-riscv

At work we are uing BSDs extensivly for almost all aspects, except as hardware crypto modules (HSMs). We are also using BSDs as workstations for the daily toil. This of course require a set of usage policies to formalise what is accepted and not. I'm glad we managed to get NetBSD into the official company policy with the following condition Must run on workstation/laptop hardware. Coffee brewers, toasters or other household appliances are explicitly forbidden from accessing production network. On a sader note, OpenBSD is no longer allowed access, when 7.7 goes out of official support in a few weeks time, due to the decision to remove yubikey-otp keyboard support in the kernel from 7.8. Oh well Cheers and RunBSD!
