I ported enough of NetBSD's armv7 MP code to OpenBSD to do a 'make -j4 build' on my DM250X. It brings a full system compilation from ~5.1 days to ~3.5. Compiling LLVM is still multiple days :(

Case in point, I saw these today: github.com/mplsllc/macs... A modern web browser for Mac OS 9 with CSS, ES5 JavaScript, and TLS redd.it/1tph8w3 A 3D printer monitoring app for System 7 with video A year ago either would have sounded awesome but now I scroll past because I assume AI wrote it all

I have lost all enthusiasm for reading about new software projects, especially dealing with vintage computing. What would have sounded amazing a year or two ago and made me want to engage with the author, I now just assume was something AI spit out and feels hollow and boring so I skim past it.

My backup strategy is restic to rsync.net hourly/daily/weekly depending on the system, retaining a bunch of snapshots Once a month, I manually run a script that fetches the latest backups from rsync.net to a portable disk, imports database dumps to a fresh mariadbd and runs some stored queries

Have at least THREE copies of your data: the live one on your computer, and at least two backups. Use at least TWO different storage media, eg, your computer's drive and another drive. Ideally you'd use different *types* -- hard drive, network storage drive, tape/optical.

First mount/umount of #HAMMER2 on #OpenBSD A series of screencasts of hammer2 commands in OpenBSD, exploring everyday situations. Today we'll cover mount and umount. Soon I will publish a video (~6 min) applying a kernel patch + userland to get to the point in this video.

The NSA and FBI have been spying on you without a warrant using section 702 of FISA for decades. Trump wants Congress to renew the law. Here are concrete examples of how this law has been abused – across administrations – and why Congress shouldn't rubber-stamp it.
