    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’d like to start here (as opposed to somewhere else?) by putting something on the record. Or the cassette tape, or whatever. Travan tape? LTO? https://www.rubenerd.au/a-hypothetical-netbsd-cyberdeck/

    SDDM with X11Libre: [image: 1778056057056-dbab3a96-681c-4f93-aad6-abd36c721c89-image.jpeg] Sorry. I couldn't resist the urge to replace x11/xorg with x11/xlibre, in a test environment, after someone made a throwaway comment: Wayland is very bad shit. XLibre wins Fixed by reinstalling x11/xorg

    Spun off from (Linux) Fedora Verified: Help Shape a New Way to Recognize Fedora Contributors | BSD Cafe Billboard FreeBSD Project https://framapiaf.org/@tubsta@bsdlab.au/116478621827645455 – redirects to https://social.bsdlab.au/notice/B5jMI1FY3WtTTWqvNA: Something the #FreeBSD core team could consider. This is something that has probably been needed for a while @dch@bsd.network My initial thoughts: it's an awful lot to think about for a project, or team (Core, for example), that already has, I think, too much to think about. Fedora Project From the Proposal: Unanswered Questions for the Fedora Community While we have a framework, there are several major questions we need the community to answer before we move forward. Specifically, we want to know: Validation: Should applicants be approved by grassroots peer vouches, or an elected committee? Fairness: Does this model truly value non-code contributions equally? Progression: How strictly structured should the path to becoming “Verified” be? Maintenance: Should the status expire after 12 months of inactivity? Of those four questions, the first two are huge. https://mastodon.social/@mxenbionix/116478348932821730: … I do have to echo some of the concerns people seem to be raising about being unclear to what this is actually solving. … Also, the commentary at and under https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/188603/3.

    I've never participated in GSoC but have wanted to get involved with some NetBSD hacking. Is this open to all potential contributors or just students?

    @grahamperrin said: A user group solely for locals to meet in person and, occasionally, online? Exactly. I was part of my Computing Society at university; it was a great way to meet, learn, and share. I haven't attended a LUG/BUG in years... I miss being part of a 3rd place for Unix nerds and am up to try and steward a group.

    No response to https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2026/04/22/anthropic_mythos_hype_nothingburger/#c_5266893 after five days (and no correction to the article); that's disappointing. I'll respectfully request a correction. I refrained from sending an email, because @bigsneakyduck had already done so (mentioned in Reddit: "… I've tried reducing this to the bare minimum and sent an email to corrections at theregister dot com.").
