    When would you say that x86 computers became "black boxes"?

    Even the quite open and good documented Raspberry boards contain black boxes. See the sad state of Raspberry wifi with FreeBSD .. https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi#Features

    Cattle mortality: why is everything dying at once?

    300 SIM servers, those aren't the typical 1U "pizzabox" servers you might be thinking off. The devices in the picture look like one of these: https://www.discoverytelecom.eu/catalog/5683.htm That's a SIM server, there's 8 of them in the picture. Edit: Weird, link suddenly leads to a 404. Lets...

    Cattle mortality: why is everything dying at once?

    Something doesn't add up. It says they found "300 servers". Suppose they found 300 1U servers (assuming the "servers" weren't raspberry pi's!) .... say 20 to a rack... that's 10 full height racks. Then you need power distribution, power supplies, network switches, network cabling, KVM's...

    Defunct (non-GPL) open source: BSD, Solaris & BSD-like based operating systems

    I didn't know about FabBSD, which was a command line BSD for CNC machining, automation and instrumentation. It's been around until 2018, and was from Canada. It was based on 4.4BSD and OpenBSD. BeOS was a single user operating system which was independently developed. It was created by a former...

    Hi sko. Thank you for your comment. Deleting offloading settings The USB Ethernet adapter I'm using only has the following options when I run ifconfig, so unfortunately there are no offloading settings to disable: net0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu...

    What if Oracle hadn't bought Sun ?

    That's because hardly anyone realizes that ARM includes Raspberry Pi's. When SBC's take off, there will be more. A lot of BSD's except NetBSD understand the importance of GPU drivers for ARM. They use drivers for VideoCore. We're still stuck with the assumption that everything uses Nvidia...

    What if Oracle hadn't bought Sun ?

    Well, I can see what you're getting at, but supporting multiple instruction sets and hardware architectures rapidly becomes a major burden in production; it's bad enough having to support multiple iterations of x86 itself, just ask microsoft! :) Java was yet another attempt to obviate that...

    What if Oracle hadn't bought Sun ?

    No, it is not. Where do you get your compiled binary packages from? Some automated web site. You simply say "pkg install foo" (on a Linux machine you say "apt install foo"). When running on an Intel machine (architecture=amd64), the pkg command will download the appropriate pkg for this...

    What if Oracle hadn't bought Sun ?

    Indeed. That included a mass-market Unix based OS and stuff like that. It was a direct follow-on to all the "big" computer companies getting into the personal computer market, famously starting with IBM's PC (sic). In the case of IBM, it took them about 20 years to figure out that given their...

    Amiga vs Atari ST

    Maybe the IBM PS/2. I grew up on IBM's, but not sure if that's the model I used at home. By the mid 90's, around the time of the Pentium, the brand went away for home PC's. I wondered where it went. The company was still successful, just in other computer markets it seemed. Used a Zenith PC...

    Xorg metaport extremely bloated with linux crap

    If anyone wants to use retro hardware, NetBSD is fine for that. Maybe you meant the original OS's. As for modern OS's, this is where 32bit SBC's (RISC & ARM [Raspberry Pi]) come in. While those are 8bit or additional 16bit computers, there needs to be no issue with running open source OS's...

    MySQL/MariaDB in jail on ARM64 fails

    Right, I'm stumped. I got a Raspberry Pi4B with FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE on it. I'm hoping to use this for a few workloads that I'd like to separate into their own jails. This works fine on my AMD64 server elsewhere, but not on the Pi: test { host.hostname = "test.area536.com"...

    Nature of opensource non-BSD & non-Linux providers

    FreeDOS reminded me of Public Domain OS. What's interesting about PDOS is: it comes under public domain license, it has a 32bit version which has compatibility with programs which are fullscreen intended for Windows in 32bit. It also has a download for ARM SBC's (ie Raspberry Pi), this is likely...
