Nice, “No BigTech” is the main reason I may very well be 100% BSD rather soon. Right now I use BSD 50% of the time to ensure objects I develop on Linux works everywhere. By testing on both OpenBSD and NetBSD, I have found many memory issues Linux has been quite happy ignoring :) These are items have written for use on AIX, soon to be RHEL :(

I remember working in a warehouse that stored many ICs when I was very young. IIRC, Zilog packaging was quite good. Some other brands packages would crack or open up if nor handled with “kid gloves”. This brings back memories,

The list are all the big banks, good luck with the next bond sale, I would not be surprise of OK will need to pay a bit more interest due to cutting out all these banks.

First the current Post Master General needs to go. He cancelled an order of electric vehicles and reordered them as fossil fuel. Biden forced him to undo that IIRC. These are vehicles that are used in Cities to pickup mail and for mail carriers to use. At most they do 100 miles per day, and that is an over estimate.

But the USPS would not have to do that plan if the GOP did not cut there funding to the point were the stopped making a profit using creative accounting 20+ years ago. So Tulsa and Fayetteville, you get what you pay for :)

One of my favorite shows. The show started out very well, then morphed into a shoot-them-up type show in the later seasons, which I did not like. But I stuck with it.

Too bad it went the way it did :(

I binged it a year ago or so, yes it holds up well and is still entertaining :) I use to watch it when it came out, but I missed most of the first season back then.

Enjoy,

I saw this a while ago, very nice. What was the end result, was it upgraded to a newer NetBSD ?

How much memory. Also are you waiting for the kernel relink to complete ?

I have OpenBSD 7.3 on a R51e and it works fine, zippy considering. But of course, Firefox is a no go . It has 2gig memory, but I always wait for the relink to complete :)

Right now, 10.0 BETA on my spare T420 Laptop. I have 7.02 on an old AMD333 system and trying to get 9.3 on it. It is hard going because there what I believe a motherboard issue with the CDROM Drive. And SDF :)

I hope to use it on my main system, a W541 Thinkpad. It works, but the Nvidia GPU (it as duel GPU) heats up a lot. I am not sure how to even diagnose this, but as the BETA persists I will keep checking to see if the issue stops. The W541 does not allow one to disable Nvidia :(

Well, the AMD333 (PII) now has NetBSD 9.3. It is working very well and works rather will and zippy considering its age.

I discovered the CDROM Drive was causing issues. I replaced it with one from a junk IBM PC a relative was tossing out. All good :)

Disabling nouveau did not fix the issue, but was a good idea, thanks.

Maybe time for another thread but I am still researching a bit, but the W541 has this for Video:

• Device-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel
• Device-2: NVIDIA GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M],

I think per: man.netbsd.org/nouveau.4that should be supported. If I cannot find any more info I may create a PR for 10-BETA.
