took the week off, celebrate me and my wife's wedding day.

Soon my brave #parisc #hppa machine celebrate 40days uptime.
31 year old machine running 33 year old #NetBSD

I have code for 1 KiB PageGrain on MIPS qemu, which should enable a demonstration of handling a case very near VAX 512 B pages while seamlessly guaranteeing within-allocation-unit promotions to 4 KiB and 16 KiB for 64 KiB allocation units and also seamlessly handling superpage promotions to sizes that are power-of-four multiples of 64 KiB. I think there may have been some testing of a similar scenario using 256 KiB allocation units on LoongArch, but while it was verified that it didn't crash, not much was done to make sure that effective use was being made of sub- allocation unit -sized superpages esp. when there were multiple superpage sizes available between the minimum MMU mapping granularity and the kernel allocation unit.

Rolling pgcl forward to 7.0 and the intermediate pre-7.1 somehow resuscitated binutils issues with running LTP and DAMON on hppa and some others, but it got to having no LTP regressions vs. master on 16 arches. I still need to induce enough fragmentation within a qemu session to be able to observe non-negligible defragmentation costs that might be reduced.

I am trying to get a ssh tunnel going across the Atlantic
Works fantastic if i DON'T use -N flag
Tunnel goes down after 30sec

so
ssh -C -R port:blabla:port user@server
work flawless

any ideas why?

maybe i am betting too much on my HP715 beast 🤣

My #NetBSD web server is up for now

i remind you i am not a web developer 🤣

As a kid i dreamed of ALL THE tech and what could be. New stuff always excited me but these days it's just dire, the only thing in recent years that brought back some joy was #VR and #RISC_V but everything else coming out, I just wonder how big tech will use it to fuck us up even more...

And as kid I would have also never dreamed that things like a 21 years old #HPUX #Unix workstation would help me stay sane and fill me with true wonder instead.

#RISCV #HPPA #PARISC

And here we go, a true #Unix machine with two #PARISC CPU's, OS is HP UX and one the last #RISC workstation #HP released, while switching to Intels ultimate lemon Itanium, should have stayed with their own silicon. This will be fun to figure out.

How far off the ground did Amiga Hombre get? I just stumbled upon the Wikipedia articles. I'd never heard of this before.
