New NetBSD BulkTracker release. Packages that failed to build now include a list of failed dependencies (if any) and packages broken by them (if any).

jaypatelani··on NetBSD for the Advanced Minimalist
Regarding security of NetBSD:

"Specifically, the NetBSD source tree is periodically analyzed by two separate code scanners to maintain and improve code quality: Coverity - a commercial code scanner, and Brainy - a private code scanner developed by a NetBSD developer.

Several security features are available in NetBSD, including IPsec, a homegrown firewall (NPF), a file integrity system (Veriexec), a kernel authorization framework (kauth(9)), disk encryption (CGD), among others.

In terms of exploit mitigations, NetBSD supports a good number of modern features: W^X (in both userland and the kernel), Userland ASLR, Kernel ASLR, SMEP, SMAP, and a variety of other internal kernel bug detection features. Support for these mitigations sometimes depends on the capabilities of the hardware."

If this was true. What about Cinnamon and budgie desktop?

jaypatelani··on Optimizing NetBSD/Amd64 Kernel Boot Time: A Performance Breakthrough
Thanks for link.
jaypatelani··on Optimizing NetBSD/Amd64 Kernel Boot Time: A Performance Breakthrough
The author has been working on optimizing the NetBSD/amd64 virtual machine kernel boot time. With performance enhancements, the kernel can now boot in less than 15ms on a not-so-modern i5-7600K using QEMU 6.2 with the microvm machine type. The performance branch, available on GitHub, introduces features like Generic PVH boot, a new PV bus for hypervisors without PCI, MMIO-backed devices, performance fixes, pvclock using KVM timecounter, and a TSLOG framework for tracing performance. The author provides a kernel configuration and instructions for testing with QEMU on Linux or NetBSD using NVMM. Additionally, the kernel is compatible with a PVH branch of AWS's Firecracker, and the author offers a basic configuration for testing. Feedback is encouraged, and precompiled binaries are provided for those who want to try it without compiling.

Kudos to team
jaypatelani··on John Lasseter drew the BSD daemon logo
I also initiated some NetBSD mascot concept ideas but i guess people are not that interested in it
