I don't really want to run around the house taking pictures with a bad phone camera 🙁 Laptops: ThinkPad X250 (NetBSD/amd64) - the famous one, used for pictures on blog.netbsd.org . It has so many stickers. ThinkPad T60 (NetBSD/amd64) - not currently in use. We flashed it with a bad image of Coreboot at some point and didn't bother to disassemble it to re-flash it because it has basically a million screws. Stickers include FUCK (Frauen und Computer Kram). Heavier than two bricks with another bit of a brick. Was supposed to run Tribblix, but we couldn't make it boot. Pinebook Pro (NetBSD/aarch64) - not currently in use, too unreliable compared to the ThinkPads Networking hardware: Soekris net5501 (NetBSD/i386) - just acquired by roommate. It has a bright pink case with the Ethernet interfaces silk-screened vr0 through vr3, indicating it ran a form of BSD in a previous life. PC Engines apu1d (NetBSD/amd64) - our main residential gateway. Has served for over 6 years or so. It plays tunes . I love it a lot. Also, it has a man page . Other small boxes: Apple Mac Mini (first generation) (NetBSD/macppc & Mac OS X Tiger) - CD burning machine. It is labelled aacenc25, I'm not sure of its history. I was passed it over a table at a pub at a NetBSD developer meeting before the world ended. LeMaker Banana Pi (NetBSD/earmv7hf) - bright yellow case, connected to a 128GB SATA SSD. not currently in use. BeagleBone Black (NetBSD/earmv7hf) - not currently in use. Raspberry Pi 3 (x2) (NetBSD/aarch64) - one in use in a bright blue case, nicknamed "blueberry". Currently sends music to my amplifier. I do think I need more NetBSD hardware... we want to run something as a high-tier NTP server. I have some sparc waiting for delivery.

Laptops: Thinkpad x240 (NetBSD/amd64), dual-booting with Slackware 14.2, my daily driver Thinkpad R51 (NetBSD/i386), dual-booting with FreeDOS 1.3, my alternative distraction-free box. Mainly using it for studying and retrogaming when I'm home as it's quite heavy and resides in my bedroom Travelmate 426LC (NetBSD/i386), not turning it on frequently tbh Embedded: Odroid C2 (NetBSD/aarch64), home firewall Raspberry Pi3 B, home server, misc stuff In the past I've run NetBSD/hpcarm on a Jornada 720 up -7.2 and I've tried a very old snapshot of NetBSD/playstation2 (mips) 😛. years ago I'd like to get my hands on a Mac Mini (spotting offers on eBay) so as to test the macppc port whenever I have some more time to spare. A Sun Blade could be another cool idea, but those cost nia It has so many stickers. I really like dig all of them, especially the RunBSD/StopFascim one and the "Vegan" one with the Arch logo

ThiccPad X230.. machine specs are in my screenshots. Not as many stickers as Nia's X250, but mine has some duct tape to give it that utilitarian aesthetic (also to hold it together) 😉

pfr where do you guys get those stickers from? 😎 I'm becoming envious

JuvenalUrbino The Run BSD stickers from: https://runbsd.info/sticker/ The others from www.redbubble.com 😉

New NetBSD gallery page, inspired by this thread... http://netbsd.org/gallery/screenshots/

Show us what you're running your BSD on

nia not helped by Deutsche Telekom's incredibly poor routing to netbsd.org...

Most probably because, It takes like 2 sec here (Stockholm).

A tidy T420 here, which was purchased from ebay and amazingly still gets up to 6h life on the original battery mfg 2012.

pfr

dctrud How do I score an SDF sticker?

tcmart14

nia Oh many, macppc mac mini, I need to get my hands on one of those. I have an iBook G4 I intended to play with powerpc, BSD, and maybe mess around and make a crummy OS for fun and that thing is a pain to lug out and play on for that sometimes.

Machines running BSD right now (may get some pictures later when Im off work).

Macbook pro 2015 (12,1?) - NetBSD dualbooted with MacOS
Apple iBook G4 - OpenBSD (collecting dust currently)
Macbook 2006/2007 (2,1) - NetBSD (play around with some C)
Mac mini 2009 - NetBSD (serves as a little server)
Lenovo Ideapad (cheap walmart one) - NetBSD dualbooted with Void Linux
Dell inspiron netbook - FreeBSD

All machines

Not really a huge Apple fan even though I have lots of Apple hardware. Most of it I just came across at the right time at the right cost or it has something specific about it (PPC Processor in the G4 as an example and the small form of the Mac Mini for cheap). The G4 I picked up for 50 on ebay. The Older poly carbon Macbook for 20 bucks locally, mac mini for 40 bucks.

edit:
I have a picture of the G4 booted on from awhile back. I woulda booed it up for the pictures above, but its been awhile and I never set up OpenFirmware to automatically boot OpenBSD. So I have to do it manually. Isnt a problem, but its been awhile so I rather forgot and got lazy in googling the commands. Its a picture of when I installed it, but its on there.

I have HP 1000 with 2 GB ram and 250GB ROM

bsduck

Unless you're including your CD-ROM collection, I don't think you have 250GB ROM.

KonkyBonky

I'm currently running OpenBSD 69-current on my Thinkpad t450, I normally run it on the floor, because I like laying on my stomach I guess. Here's a picture featuring my dog

And here's one of my lightly stickered laptop lid. I want to put an openbsd sticker on it but I'm not sure because Im in a constant state of switching between Net and OpenBSD.

tcmart14

Just got in my stickers.

NetBSDNetBook

Just move this little guy from FreeBSD to NetBSD, works like a charm. Experimenting with DWM on it also. AMD dual-core processor, perfect for sitting on the couch.

MacBookBSD

And the 2009 Macbook running NetBSD. Was looking a little bland with just the light up apple.

tcmart14
Ok, I'm not going to lie, your slightly askew sticker placement is triggering my OCD pretty hard. Glad you finally got some though 😁

tcmart14

pfr Haha, yea not exactly straight. But Im 27 and my 5 and 3 year old can color inside the lines better than I

[deleted]

I intend to take some photos tomorrow when I have better light (my phone takes horrible ones under low light), still wanted to drop the specs already.

Hi,

a little mini-ITX box here running DragonFlyBSD master that I use as a dports builder. It's a second-hand i5-3570T with 16G RAM. Since NVMM has been ported not so long ago, I'm planning to turn it into a hypervisor too.
in the same case I have a Ryzen 3200G running FreeBSD 13 as my personnal desktop/daily driver
a Raspberry Pi 4 8G running FreeBSD 13 with ZFS on a USB-attached SSD as a server for various services I selfhost

CiotBSD

Me on my deathly laptop:

It was a Dell Alienware AW13 First Gen. I used OpenBSD on.

oui

Upgraded (downgraded?) to a 17 inch monitor - just the right size.
Picked it up secondhand in good condition for less than 30 bucks, my entire setup is now worth less than $250 😅

tcmart14

oui Aint nothing wrong with that. It is minimalist and I like the set up!

I like the condensed keyboard and the palm rest, where did you find them?

oui

szilard Thank you, it's actually my X environment and not the console.
It's a 80 character wide terminal centered on the screen with the same background color as the root window.

You can easily change the background and font colors of the console on NetBSD by changing a couple of variables and recompiling the kernel. JuvenalUrbino has written a nice guide on how how to customize the NetBSD console here: https://retrobsd.ddns.net/vcscda.htm

I wonder if it's actually possible to replicate my X environment in wscons.
Is it possible to specify width/height of the console and have the text centered on the screen or have some kind of padding in TTY like I have in X here: oui ? @JuvenalUrbino @rvp

oui

tcmart14 Thank you! The keyboard is a Filco Minila (60% mechanical keyboard) and the palm wrest is also from Filco. I purchased it many years ago and it seems they have discontinued my specific model, but luckily there a lot of similar 60% mechanical keyboards out there.

glowiak

FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p3 on dell optiflex 7010.

I know it's FreeBSD and not NetBSD, but:

post title says 'BSD'. Which BSD is not specified.
9.x branch has bad performance and no drivers (at least working ones). I'd like to wait for 10.0 before switching to NetBSD.

bsduck

This forum is UnitedBSD, not uNetBSD 🙂

glowiak

bsduck Do you know why NetBSD doesn't use devfs (dynamic /dev creation)? On FreeBSD, If I delete /dev/ada0*, those files will be just recreated. In NetBSD (i guess) this will destroy the disk. Also, mounting disks without devfs is hard - I had to search thousands of device files to work.

neubaer

glowiak There's the /dev/MAKEDEV script to recreate device nodes if you ever accidentally delete them. And for listing disks there's sysctl hw.disknames

rvp

glowiak Do you know why NetBSD doesn't use devfs (dynamic /dev creation)?

It has devpubd for this.
