Are you using a very old version of Blender? Are you compiling it yourself? A web search tell me that Blender does not run on i386. But it can be hallucination. FreeBSD freshports tell me that Blender cannot be built for FreeBSD 14 on i386. But sometime FreeBSD packages are broken. NetBSD too...

The RPi 5 has 6x the floating point performance of that P4 at a TDP that’s 4x lower. It supports newer ports, codecs, and graphics libraries, arch extensions. It’s anemic (for heavy 3D stuff at least), but I wouldn’t call it a toy either. It wasn’t designed for that anyway. I don’t think...

The Raspberry Pi can run the UI... What about the rest of it? The actual 3D viewport ;) Try it out. Look around some forums, you will see it can't run a recent Blender. You would know this if you tried. The error you would get is: So the best you have is LLVMpipe (software rasterisation...

You can probably run Blender on the Raspberry because last version of Blender supports Vulkan for the UI. You need to use the CPU for the effects. For sure you cannot use the P4, because it is far away from the minimum requirements of CPU instruction sets and RAM. Smartphone chipsets tend to...

So the VideoCore XII doesn't support OpenGL 3.3+. Games aside, I don't believe it can even run Blender. You need to fall back to a software renderer on the weak bean 4 core ARM CPU. Also, OpenCL doesn't look possible. Unlike a Pentium 4 machine, you can't easily add an NVIDIA GPU for CUDA. The...

C code compilation is easily parallelizable. Every core is 5x faster than the fastest P4. You have 4 of them, so 20x the speed. There is no way a P4 can be better than a Raspberry Pi 5 for coding OSS projects. I haven't this hardware at hand, and I cannot benchmark, but I doubt I will be...

Naive yes, because I didn't checked. It seems so natural to me that a rather modern ARM CPU can beat the worst processor Intel made, 25 years ago, also in single-core tasks. The first benchmark I found. In single-core, it is 1104-991 (the Cortex 2.4 GHz and Cortex 1.8 GHz) vs 237 (P4 3.83...

It doesn't look correct. As a base, under full load that chip alone can get to 16W. Then you want to include the same accessories as the P4 machine. Consider SSD, keyboard, cdrom, etc, it could even start to near 40W. If you remove the dedicated GPU and sound card from the desktop machine, it...

I really cannot agree. You would have to try it for yourself. I have all these hardware we speak of and have tried to run some FreeBSD at least once on them. RPi4 is a bad development workstation. P4 is worse. C solved little in this regard, you need to see how various codebases fail to...

If I'm worried about energy usage, I doubt I had to follow your suggestions. If this data, I found on the web is correct, an idle P4 consumes more than a Raspberry Pi 5 at full power: 70W vs 10W. During compilation a P4 will consume 130W, and the compilation times will be longer than on the...

Sure, since the most impactful open-source projects are old and evergreen. Such as SDL, busybox, Vim, etc. Lindy's Law tends to predict open-source lifecycles quite well. It also suggests that the oldest software in use today will be the most likely to remain alive for another 20 years. A...

Then a P4 ?

I tried now to compile SDL3 and vim, under FreeBSD quarterly ports, on a cloud host, using some unspecified shared AMD Epyc CPU. I limited the jail to one single CPU. SDL3 required 55 seconds (only the build, the configure part was probably longer). vim required 118s. Using all the 4 cores...

I don't believe a legacy platform has any bearing on open-source development. Much of the code underlying open-source is much older than a P4. A P4 would still provide a stronger development environment than a modern Raspberry Pi. Especially since C long ago solved the gap between porting to...

I was Arch for many years. I liked AUR for the availability of Linux kernel modules for many materials that where not in the default kernel of the Arch but, I became tired of the intrusif Systemd and migrate to VoidLinux and Runit that I find simple to understand as unit 1. In plus I have...

Does aarch64 have a FreeBSD-kernel-generic-nodebug pkg available? I like running CURRENT, but on a RPi4 didn't notice a nodebug pkg available on 16.0.

ArduPilot does not require an Arduino. For my testing I used a SPEDIX F405 flight controller. One thing that is nice about ArduPilot is that the same hardware can be used for different vehicle types. The firmware determines whether the controller operates as a copter, plane, rover, etc.For...

Seeming pretty good! Was trying Linux earlier, but ran into a systemd timer firing after reboot because of RTC (OS update script with reboot, so it'd run the timer after reboot, reboot in a few mins, and loop); I heard cron handled no RTC better :D Still working good days later, and now...

# freebsd-version ; uname -a 15.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD S3RV3D85D 15.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p9 GENERIC arm64 I'm new to BSD, but I've used linux off and on since ~2003. I'm trying to build a headless NAS with the Pi4, using ZFS, which requires me to get away from Linux, to do it...

I understand that. Just wanted to share my extremely bad experiences with Realtek. No so much with Mediatek, but Mediatek issues are alsmost always caused by higher operating temperature. If the cooling is sufficient, it will work fine. Understandable. I would go with Intel based device even if...
