Would you like to get more out of bsddialog(3)? BSDCan has a tutorial for that: Introduction to TUI Programming using bsddialog with Benedict Reuschling Thursday 2026-06-18: 13:00 - 16:00 Shell scripts have a bad reputation when it comes to usability and eye candy. Modern users find a blinking cursor on a a black screen leaves a lot to be desired when having to interact with a shell script. In this tutorial, we will create shell scripts that look like a GUI application: with buttons to press, input fields, select boxes and animated progress bars. These so called TUI (text user interfaces) programs still use shell script functionality as the backend, but are lightweight enough to not introduce too much overhead. Users will appreciate the ease of use of your shell scripts and you can rely on them to give you the data and visualizations you to need. At the same time, the TUI application is not difficult to learn and implement into existing scripts.

Anyone here has experience doing a "Wi-Fi box" in NetBSD? I wonder how big is the overhead. Both in user effort and computer resources. When I was younger I used to run a *very slow* virtual machine with Windows XP while daily-driving Linux. So I could interact with government webpages, banks, University software, etc. Anything that I couldn't do in Linux was done in this winXP VM. Now I'm getting close to do something similar. A light VM with linux to do anything that I can't in NetBSD. I still don't truly daily-drive NetBSD: I'm writing this tooth from my Linux Mint laptop, for example. To use the Wi-Fi from this machine, I still need a Linux driver, but I'm starting to pet the idea of a small VM + PCI passthrough to setup Wi-Fi, and use that VM as a router. Something tells me that battery life will be even shorter than it is now. But it would be better to hear that from people who have actually done something like that. #wifi #wifibox #NetBSD #runbsd

La configuration d’un système NetBSD en lecture seule atténue un point de vulnérabilité critique souvent négligé : la corruption du système de fichiers sur des supports de stockage peu fiables.
