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!

Lost and found in MastodonTIL: when the Back button in Mastodon can not take me back to something, I can use the web browser to browse back.Why has it taken more than two years for me to discover something so obvious? #Mastodon #obvious #TIL @bsdcafelounge

Closed. Result: 3% Windows 22% macOS 32% BSD (see the responses in Mastodon) 43% Linux. [image: 1776459246089-97c873d0-8fd9-45d3-ad89-80033e7d6b95-image.jpeg] Additional responses in Reddit: Daily driver: macOS, BSD, Linux, or Windows? : r/freebsd

Oh boy. I'll make the popcorn.

It would be nice if... Configurable for the instance the user (i.e., me) belong to. Automagically converted the URL to use the above, and if the account of the link target is outside the configured instance, convert to double "@" form. For example, I imagine if anyone belonging to @bsd.cafe pastes some URL from the tab that mastodon client is running, it would be something like ``` https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@User/11111 and if anyone belonging to @bsd.netowork attempts to open the toot via the link, converted to https://mastodon.bsd.netowork/@User@bsd.cafe/11111 with input to indicate the conversion is wanted or not on click. Maybe annoying to implement, though.

Stating the obvious: there'll always be work within professions such as plumbing, carpentry, and building. Hands-on building. Hands-off building, with code as a virtual construction material: there's no obvious niche. I would not know where to start, or finish. I should optimtimistally assume that the vast majority of niches will be short-lived, compared to the lifetime of a human. I'm not a developer, but over the years I have thrown (or crowbarred) myself into various niches. Chandler was my favourite. I knew that development had ceased, but it was the best tool for the purpose at the time. Good luck!
