Here’re some pictures from #NetBSD at SCALE
There’s a lot of interest in NetBSD :)
First is a Raspberry Pi 400 with ctwm running as a stratum 2 NTP server. Our neighbors just happen to be the Network Time Foundation.
Next is a Nintendo Wii U running NetBSD showing Palemoon with @jmcwhatever‘s post about making multiprocessing work properly.
It was fun to show off the Raspberry Pi Zero W in a bottle which is running as a public email server.
Even here at the show, some people weren’t happy with the idea of self hosting email and wanted to say it doesn’t work. I let people send email directly to it, watch the logs via a terminal window on the Pi 400 as it’s delivered, and see the email in alpine. They could also send email using alpine to test deliverability and see delivery in the logs.
We’re showing off a live web server which is running from a VAXstation VLC. This is a wonderful example of how well NetBSD runs on systems with limited resources. It has just 24 megs of memory and runs with 5.5 VUPs!
You remember what VUPs refers to, right? ;)
Dennis has been helping at the booth. Here Dennis is getting some wisdom dropped on him by Jon maddog Hall. maddog really seemed to enjoy taking a gander at our VAX.
