This is really obscene. I had to sell or give away mine. And Kindle sucks.

LOL we have like 3 threads of hardcore hardware pr0n. Why not merge them all?

There's an argument that this doesn't achieve much: https://isopenbsdsecu.re/mitigations/karl/ Note: I don't condone the above site given the garbage reasons for targeting OpenBSD (not having a CoC and so on).

I had the Phenom X3. The urban legend was that they were triple-core because they failed QA for quad-core. And Windows had to patch their OS so it could run on this processor.

This is only the login manager, which itself is a fork of SDDM. KDE helped with OpenBSD support: > Improved and fixed support for OpenBSD in multiple places. https://blogs.kde.org/2026/01/03/this-week-in-plasma-new-year-new-accessibility-features/#notable-in-performance--technical

Let Linus Torvalds himself dispel this myth for you: https://social.kernel.org/notice/B1cCcICHNmA0mcvUSe

There was a time I used the tty exclusively, before having a job while at the univ. I don't see myself checking the smartphone everytime. It's the less exciting piece of hardware I have. I prefer checking Whatsapp/Telegram from my laptop.

You may want to check what util-linux wipefs does or even call it with `wipefs -a -f $DEV` because I remember dd at the beginning not being enough sometimes. =/

Using CoW filesystems on devices like USB pendrives and SD cards with no wear leveling is a bad idea due to the write amplification. Someone should tell the NomadBSD guys to add this warning.

We kinda discussed it in this thread: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/from-the-39c3-escaping-containment-a-security-analysis-of-freebsd-jails.100969/

Install smartmontools and run `smartctl -x /dev/$disk` LLM's like ChatGPT turn out to be very good at interpreting the results.

To avoid reinventing the wheel, there are the 3 workflows I know of: 1. Illumos pkg creates a new BE by default except when installing new packages. 2. openSUSE's zypper creates a Btrfs snapshot everytime, even when removing packages, keeping a configurable maximum of 10 snapshots. 3. GhostBSD...

I know modern SSD's resist a bit more but I dunno about eMMC's. It's also faster to download to RAM. I'm even tempted to symlink /var/cache/pkg to /tmp which is already tmpfs in my case but want to do it in a secure way.

I'm experimenting with this wrapper around pkg(8) to automatically mount the pkg cache in tmpfs and create a ZFS boot environment. The reason for using tmpfs is to prevent a eMMC/SSD from wearing. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome. #!/bin/sh # # Wrapper around FreeBSD pkg(8) to...
