Boot device failure. Should install #NetBSD.

jspath55, 3 days ago to random

Let's see. NetBSD 10 implies 10 kernel versions in, um, 30 years almost? Averaging 3 "point" releases per version, that's 1 kernel upgrade per year, max. I'm ignoring NetBSD 0.9 and prior (patchkit 0.2
2) as lesser products.

TIL about the NetBSD burgee-waving prairie dog...

Had any number of fumbles getting #NetBSD working again on a Pi Zero 2W, finally got the image from ebijun [ https://github.com/ebijun/NetBSD ]. Now to adjust the keyboard...

Hazardous materials in #Baltimore Harbor? Shocked face, from this former State environmental engineer who visited the now-dismantled Allied Chemical hexavalent chromium plant in, um, Baltimore City.

I learned more about #Zabbix templates, which we would call "cookie-cutter" if we were able. Gathering environmental data from the fine folks at the National Weather Service and putting it into a monitoring system next to in-home sensors. With a smidge of shell scripting and a little XML by hand, on #NetBSD and #FreeBSD.

Bad photo due to flashback or something but this is a Heathkit device I've never seen before. It's a 12 to 120 volt inverter, except it's supposed to have a case on top with 2 outlets. I suspect someone got creative and tried to wire extra outlets rather than use an extension cord. Sigh. #Retro

Edit: If anyone wants these, and you're in North America, let me know. I would prefer to keep these out of the landfill/reclamation as I cannot preserve them.
