Remote status

HardenedBSD

It's official, #HardenedBSD can now be found on the #Radicle sovereign code forge: https://hardenedbsd.org/article/shawn-webb/2026-04-26/hardenedbsd-officially-radicle

There's still a lot more work to be done, but we're now at a point where the repositories are usable.

@HardenedBSD this is a big achievement. The first OS hosted on a truly decentralized forge?

@feld @HardenedBSD I believe it might just be the first enterprise OS on Radicle. Thanks to OpenBSD's Aaron Bieber (qbit), OpenBSD is likely the second. :-)

There's thousands of projects on the Radicle network, though, so I'm not sure if there are any hobbyist OSes. Would be an interesting exercise to periodically analyze/categorize the repos on the network.

Today, we learned that folks do NOT need to deploy a full #Radicle node to `git clone` or `git pull` our repos.

Instead, folks can use `git` normally, but use the Radicle web endpoint. For example, to clone the #HardenedBSD src tree, users can:

```
$ git clone https://rad.hardenedbsd.org/z2HLHXgL1xevBNQsf8BmQW7MpJmtm.git HardenedBSD-src
```

The only downside is that users who go this route will not be able to submit issues or patches via the normal Radicle way (since issues are created with `rad issue open`).
