#NetBSD
tweaked /usr/pkg/etc/sysupgrade.conf and now sysupgrade auto works for me.
I should probably write down what I changed

Highly motivated to find folks with Whistle InterJets -- late-90s 486 SOHO Internet appliances (IBM bought and sunsetted it, and sold off the whistle.com domain). People with long ISP memories may remember it because it was resold by ISPs in US /Europe / Asia (especially Japan).
I'm building a comprehensive info resource (and tailoring modern NetBSD to run on it). We need to find folks with hardware, software we're missing, ephemera, or memories. The software (on 30yo IDE drives) is especially endangered.
Rough site, in all its 1995-grade (but secretly HTML5) "glory":

(That tilde account is also endangered -- I've also registered a domain and will be moving to it when ready)

Please boost, especially if you have overlap in the retrocomputing or vintage ISP space!

Decided to do that hardware probe thing and see just how bad things will be overall for #NetBSD, and https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=4e274ddb05 uhh... am I boned
EDIT: Link seems to break, so go here http://linux-hardware.org/?probe=4e274ddb05 and then at the bottom of page click "How it fits BSD?"

@dotpk@bsd.network Indeed it is. Android switched to cdc-ncm - network control mode since the Pixel 6. I'm still looking into the details but I want to get it working on #OpenBSD. #NetBSD has a driver since their newest 11 release, so thats probably a good think to relate to.
My installation screen hangs at this screen. ThinkPad E14 AMD what could be the reason for this ? No keys are working at this step. #netbsd should I disable drm before install ?
Hey there #NetBSD people,
I am thinking about installing NetBSD on a Linux-only VPS provider, which I have done a lot already with FreeBSD, thanks to the mfsBSD project, which lets you install FreeBSD from a RAM disk.
Does something like that also exist for NetBSD as well? I would love it if I could just attach a custom ISO, but a lot of cheap VPS providers only give you a list of 5-6 Linux distros instead.
@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org Hey. Would ebook readers such as #Kobo and #Pocketbook which permit custom OS be good hardware donations?

WELP, I attempted to install #NetBSD today, but I ran into some serious problems. Namely, after following the instructions on the official website to write the installer image to my USB thumbdrive (which keep changing what the block size should be!), the resulting drive fails to find the kernel and won't go further than the boot prompt. I'm trying some other dd flags and am about to try again, but if this doesn't work SOMEBODY is going to need to step up. Tagging @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org because you're the most obvious person here to ask for help with installing NetBSD

I've got #FreeBSD running on a Thinkpad x260, #OpenBSD on a x200, and #NetBSD running on a random hand-me-down dell laptop (although S3 suspend and charge thresholds don't work on that particular bit of hardware).
If there's anything I can do to help, just holler!
