If all of you all (you know who you are) currently exploring #NetBSD (for, uh, reasons*) would donate a little bit of money to the NetBSD Foundation, I am sure that sad little gauge under the logo would look a lot better. https://www.netbsd.org/donations/#how-to-donate Because right now, it stands at about 12K out of a goal of 50K and it makes me sad. 😔 Donate! 💶 💵 💷 (* good reasons, I might add) :netbsd:

@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org Thanks. You reminded me to end my LiberaPay giving for Debian and Neovim. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be sending anything to NetBSD at this time, because I really need to get a job before adding to my donation load.

@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org Friends this is a distro that booted flawlessly and opened my mastodon feed *mostly with wifi* on: A stock pinebook pro, a System76 Lemur Pro, all the amd64, and a RPi born in December 2011 Once I figure out zfs on root, I'm all in. Last week, @cwebber@social.coop posted about FOSS missing its moment. Well the second-best time is now. Vote with your downloads, vote with your wallet, vote with your no-JS blogs, be the change. #RunBSD #NetBSD
