Cramming so much parts into small spaces does not make it look better. Especially when you have some form of pcb layout ocd πŸ™„
Switching to #kicad v10 half way through wasn't the best idea either.

I read your post here, 13 years ago I had a similar "thing". Life can only get better, not easier, but better.

Listening to SID #chiptunes on my Commodore 64 while doing some hobby PCB design 🎢🎢
#usbsid #retro

ended up moving over to #openbsd on my router from openwrt, this works *incredibly* well with all just utilities that are just... already included in the base system

if anyone's curious, it's an hp T740 thin client with an intel x540-t2 NIC- currently pulling my full gigabit link, got my VLANs set up all nicely and everything

only had one issue- my unit had shipped with a 64gb EMMC drive which openbsd wasn't able to detect, but after swapping over to a typical sata m.2 everything is working great

such a cohesive OS

#TIL how to add swap space easily on #OpenBSD

1) Create a swapfile made of many many 0's, in the size of how large a swapfile you want, so e.g. for 16gb:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=~/.swapfile bs=1m count =16384

2) Add it as swap:
# swapctl -a ~/.swapfile

3) For great success, check it out to get warm fuzzy feelings:

$ swapctl -l
Device 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Priority
/dev/sd2b 17065992 0 17065992 0% 0
/home/puffy/.swapfile 33554432 0 33554432 0% 0
Total 50620424 0 50620424 0%

So someone dropped code to decrypt proprietary #ltspice models. That allows you to use them with #ngspice and #kicad
