Just got this email: (Quote)

Why an additional step? Why not have the introduction as part of the questions on the initial sign-up form? But maybe add some ideas about what people should talk about there (like "What are you working on?", "What is your favorite OS…
-
(Quote) Thanks, just double-checked that it installs correctly. One thing I noticed is that it shows up as "[COPY] NetBSD 11 Minimum", maybe you can remove the "[COPY]" there.
-
(Quote) I am not sure it's really working that well. Given the questions, why should a new member take these questions seriously - but then they get voted down because they didn't take the question seriously. (Quote) But if not logged in,…

(Quote) @linveo here is my NetBSD 11.0 qcow2 image
-
(Quote) When upgrading from 10.1 to the 11 RCs, I think it was fine (using sysupgrade), as long as you remember to upgrade the kernel first, reboot, and then upgrade userspace.
-
NetBSD 11 is finally out
-
(Quote) I think the up/down buttons are the wrong way round: down should be on the left and up on the right.
-
(Quote) Here is the updated template: netbsd-11.0_RC7.qcow2 Was really hoping to have the final release by now.
-
And another NetBSD 11.0 RC: 11.0 RC7
-
(Quote) I am now seeing this warning: (Quote) but also this warning: (Quote) My 2 instances with 2 CPUs and 12 GB memory each are still running fine.
-
(Quote) When I last tried NetBSD on TierHive, the IPv6 configuration as shown in the panel for IPv6 didn't work, but using the link-local address of the router instead made it work. Maybe I was just unlucky at that time and there was some gener…

(Quote) Their SPF record has: "v=spf1 include:spf.thundermail.com -all""v=spf1 ip4:5.60.96.8/29 include:mail.zendesk.com -all"
-
Got an invite now to join their early bird access - paying full price for being a beta tester. See https://tb.pro/ for details.
-
@linveo new NetBSD 11.0 RC6 image Really hope it's the last RC.
-
Another NetBSD 11 RC has appeared: https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-11.0_RC6/
-
(Quote) Couldn't you do that before already without qemu-guest-agent? I don't have qemu-guest-agent installed and I also get "power button pressed" when restarting from the control panel. I think that's using ACPI.
-
(Quote) When I tried NetBSD on TierHive, I booted into Alpine via netboot (so it certainly couldn't interfere with the disk). Could you now use the ISO image to boot into Alpine?
-
(Quote) Thanks so much, seems to be working fine again: all the wireguard tunnels to my other VPSes are up again.
-
(Quote) Forgot to add the RC5 image there. I think for TierHive you need to add something like "vesa 101" in the NetBSD boot loader.
-
(Quote) Thanks, just did a quick test with the RC5 template, and it installs fine. Hopefully, we'll see the final 11.0 release shortly. On the UDP issue, I am still seeing widespread blocking of incoming UDP packets: * 62.240.153.x works * 10…
-
(Quote) I guess one way to use it would be to have a somewhat generic "copy this image to the disk" ISO as the 1st ISO, and use the 2nd ISO as the image to be written to the disk. But then, maybe you should just offer a way to write a user…
-
(Quote) That's interesting, it actually seems to work from my home IP address (which I hadn't tried before), but not from any of my other VPSes (or the @Hosteroid NetBSD server) - wireguard is set up as a VPN between my VPSes.
-
(Quote) BTW for "press ESC at boot" - usually that requires a lot of luck and good timing to manage to connect to the VNC in time and be able to press ESC.
-
@linveo NetBSD 11.0 RC5 image is now available. BTW, has anything changed on the network side? It looks like UDP gets completely blocked now - which breaks any wireguard VPN access.
-
NetBSD 11.0 RC5
-
Just for comparison: the NetBSD images i create (for @linveo - others would be free to use those as well) use a 512 MB filesystem (and include base etc kern-GENERIC man modules rescue)

NetBSD's Annual General Meeting 2026 (Quote)
-
As "Cells for NetBSD" seems to be maturing, maybe switch to NeoBSD in the next few weeks?
-
(Quote) It's now called "Cells for NetBSD" and there is now NeoBSD that integrates these cells into a full NetBSD-based build.
-
(Quote) Thanks, just did a quick check, and it's working fine.
-
OpenBSD 7.9
-
(Quote) Basically * boot into an Alpine image via netboot (or something similar) * write the NetBSD image to the disk and reboot * in the NetBSD boot loader, interrupt it, set the vesa mode to something like 0x101 (vesa 0x101) and boot into NetBSD …
-
Just noticing now: descr: Route64-Europe so the IPv6 addresses use some third-party tunneling provider? I guess that's why I am seeing significant worse pings (and packet loss) when using IPv6?
-
(Quote) Ok, managed to get something working now by using the link-local address of the router (which I got by pinging ff02::2) - although even with that I can only reach a small subset of the outside IPv6 world. (btw, this is on the Roubaix, FR loc…
-
So installed NetBSD on a small VPS (128 MB RAM and 1 GB disk) by writing the disk image from a netboot.xyz booted Alpine. Can't get IPv6 working with NetBSD. The web interface tells me to use something like "2001:0db8:1234:5678::1" a…
-
(Quote) That's the change you want to apply. (Quote) resize_ffs doesn't grow the journal, so that's then smaller than it should be, and ideally you should recreate it. Unfortunately, that process is a bit complicated for the root fil…
-
(Quote) Actually, updated that 11.0 RC4 image (@linveo) now to fix the postfix config issue in RC4. The image now also creates the swap partition on first boot (depending on system memory and disk space).
