Heh, turns out @rl_dane was right; building the #tut CLI mastodon client for #NetBSD was pretty easy once I had golang (called go124 here) installed.
(Though I only tried doing this in my Pi4, not the OG Pi1.)
Side question to anybody else reading this: should I start learning Go? Or get back to really diving deeper into C as I started a few years ago?

Did you notice? The registration was temporary open today and we welcome all new users! 🥳
While we still have a plenty of free resources, we might switch from an open registration model to a recommendation / mentor model where already present users can invite new users.
This is not yet fix but a possibility to avoid misusage and abuse where our primary goal is still to provide resources for people interested into BSD based systems. Maybe also closer integrations with BSD communities like the BSD Cafe ( @stefano) could be an approach.

I've been meaning to test soon-to-be #NetBSD 11 on my rescued Mac LC II with 10 megs of memory.
It had been crashing quite frequently, and I intended to find out why. I suspected some power / capacitor issues, or perhaps damage from when it got so oxidized before it was given to me.

I was having problems with rxvt-unicode in #NetBSD (I think they don't have its terminfo definitions by default) and xterm was pretty ugly to work with.
So I instead went with another old terminal I haven't used in quite literally a decade: Sakura. It's the terminal emulator used by the #SliTaz project, another ultra-minimalist lightweight Linux distro project. To my surprise: everything works very well, it's still pretty lightweight and also very modern!
I guess some bad things come for good reasons!

Just next to our core OS like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #MidnightBSD and #DragonflyBSD (and #illumos). This should also make the step easier to compare and test different scenarios where BSD provides a different behavior compared to Linux systems.
Thanks to @gyptazy for the implementation!
