OpenBSD update issues I've had are resolved!

Thank you to everyone who gave me things to try to resolve my #OpenBSD Dell Optiplex 3080 i5 not wanting to boot /bsd but would only boot /bsd.sp and bsd.rd
I tried everything from booting bsd.rd and upgrading to using doas sysupgrade -s but each upgrade failed the same. I even deleted /bsd so it remade it after an upgrade but still the same.
Finally after thinking the next step was to do a fresh install I decided to try rolling back the snapshot to the 1st May. This is not recommended but what had I to lose ?
So i entered doas sysupgrade -sf http://ftp.hostserver.de/archive/2026-05-01-0105/ and guess what ? It only boots into /bsd now and I have all my CPU's back !
Yipee ! 🎉
Now to see if a doas sysupgrade -s does it's stuff and still boots /bsd`

OK there must be a bug somewhere as I rolled back to 1St may snapshot and booted with multicpu kernel no problems.
Then I tried to upgrade to the latest with doas sysupgrade -s and it's back to not booting the /bsd !!!!
Time to rollback to maybe the 14th may and see if that's
OK ??

It's that time of the year when Ottawa is hotter than here.
Last year, at BSDCan, the weather was perfect.
I'm still sad that I can't make it this year, but there's always next year.
If you can, go. You won't regret it!

Is there anyone out there running an AMD 5650GE based system running Linux or BSD?

Can you tell us your CPU and GPU idle power numbers as displayed in btop?

Maybe this is an "easy button" of sorts to reduce power on an existing AMD AM4 system without going through the machinations of new mobo, ram, etc., etc. Get most of the way there?

Note: this is a very off-the-cuff tier list, using speed as the main qualifier, but the article explains exceptions to that as it goes on.

Beneath the Linux surface: the UNIX legacy, a lively ecology

An open invitation to Linux users across the board, offering a closer look at the penguin and its iceberg, a walk across the ecosystems that make it possible, an exploration beyond one’s biome.

I had two spare 8GB RAM modules sodimm (2400 and 2666), I mounted besides my current RAM 16 GB (DDR4 2133), and it worked and the workstation did not exploded... 😅

Now I have 32GB 😎 without spending money...
