J'ai installé un multiboot BSD dans un vieil ordinateur (Intel Core i3 gen 4, 8Go RAM, 1To HDD). Je vais pouvoir bidouiller des trucs. #NetBSD #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #BSD

Pardon the French, but fuck I love #NetBSD.

Had a long train ride home, so SSH’d into my Shonen Jump box at home, then into my old Solaris box, then my Pentium 1. It all still works, and it’s wonderful. Wanted to try something, built a little chroot, done. It’s all so predictable and consistent and wonderful.

And… increasingly rare.

I've been thinking about code and quality of, for quite some time. Compilers should not be a crutch for bad coders but a tool for good ones. I fear we are treating the symptom not the disease.

I have applauded the efforts of OpenBSD in the past, still all of us can and must do better.

Experiences regarding switch to #NetBSD - installation 10.1 goes okay, but AMD GPU (RX 5*0) does not work out of box. What I tried so far?
(1) Loading amdgpu and drmkms_sched kernel modules cause kernel panic.
(2) Setting up modesetting in Xorg causes "No screens found" error.
(3) Installing 11 RC4 does not go well - if I use MBR scheme then OS does not load at all, if GPT then installer fails at gpt create command.
(4) I tried to follow this guide - https://codeberg.org/blackmirroxx/netbsd_amdgpu - but I run out of space in /usr (separate partition) during compiling modular xorg.

Tomorrow I am going to install 10.1 again and follow above guide again. If it will not work, then...I do not know.

BTW OpenBSD advantage is that AMD GPU works out of box, disadvantage is "mediocre" support of non-FFS file systems.

This took a really long time :)
The instructions at https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/rockchip/ don't work—they don't mention uboot.img and trust.bin—so I got them from FreeBSD, though they're probably available in #NetBSD somewhere too :)

Happy #BrothersDay from the sibling who runs on absolutely everything (yes, even the family toaster)! 🚩🍞

Taking a moment to send some love to my Unix-like family today:

To FreeBSD 😈: Thanks for always bringing the heavy-lifting and server muscle. Nobody I’d rather share a kernel subsystem or network stack with! 💪

To OpenBSD 🐡: My brilliantly paranoid sibling. Don't worry, I double-checked the locks, audited the code, and closed the blinds before posting this. Stay secure! 🔒

And a special shoutout to our loud, monolithic cousin, Linux 🐧! You might be everywhere these days, but we still love having you at the FOSS family barbecue. Just leave some market share for the rest of us, okay? 🍔

Here’s to the entire open-source community. No matter what kernel you're running, we're all pushing the ecosystem forward together! 🧡
