Is there a way to upgrade the boot loader on an arm64 device (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B)? % uname -a FreeBSD raspberry 15.1-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p1 releng/15.1-n283582-0f691888dc56 GENERIC arm64 % sysctl machdep.bootmethod sysctl: unknown oid 'machdep.bootmethod'

I recommend you attempt to experience FreeBSD from a serial terminal. You will realise that colors and special escape characters make the experience much, much worse for new and experienced users. The use of serial in the casual consumer space is growing due to things like Raspberry Pi, etc...

One other solution - that I have been using having just got back from spending several weeks on the French Riviera - is to run a personal (free and open source for Linux - with an additional GUI for Windows) tailscale daemon (set as an "exit node") on a Raspberry Pi (2B so not a particularly...

I have been shopping tracked vehicle kits.. The ELEGOO Conqueror Robot Tank looks nice but I got to Step 18 here and the motors are junky. No encoders. Only two wire. https://www.makerguides.com/building-elegoo-conqueror-tank-robot/ Cheap kit so you can only expect so much. To make this robotic...

I find that the usual server renting places are usually blocked by geo-enforcing websites. Amazon EC2 Frankfurt for example is useless for those purposes.

Tor can kind of be used like a free VPN service. Just set up machine's firewall with it as a transparent proxy. Perhaps you can adapt some of the guide here. Otherwise, rent a cheap private server on some cloud platform (azure, ibm, amazon). You can perhaps get down as low as £5 if you do...

I have a 10TB HDD formatted UFS on USB SATA to a RPi4 with 16.0-CURRENT doing fine, and before that it was on USB to a Pro/CAD ATI FireGL laptop (same HDD was fine years single-partition ext4 Linux and NTFS Windows). USB's more consistent from the RPi :D (I got random UAS errors on Rensas USB 3.0)

I've never build a NAS so take what I say below with a grain of salt. FreeBSD and ZFS is indeed a good choice for this usecase from what I've read. I think ZFS needs ECC memory (or it's better to have) so you may need a motherboard and memory that both support ECC. If you need hardware video...

Small NAS case with Intel N100 inside - https://aliexpress.com/item/1005011838208405.html - with 2 x 12TB disks in ZFS mirror you have everything You need. When it comes to software - Sylve or XigmaNAS as xVault seem quite inactive sine some time ... or just plain FreeBSD - this is what I use...

Hey, I have never been into "storage". My understanding of it is basically there are mechanical spinning disk drive and some based on memory chips (faster and more expensive, especially now). And that ZFS is awesome. I am now feeling the need for a NAS for the first time in decades but I have...

This user is using Blender on the Raspberry, but yeah, it can be used only for basic modelling, because nearly all the work is delegated to the CPU instead of the GPU. The user says that the Raspberry GPU does not even support OpenCL in a good/full way. So for any serious scientific work, or...

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...
