if anyone ever wants to install #NetBSD on a 486-class machine that doesn't have PCI, or does but has video on ISA, and you run into issues because it panics on boot:

i can help!

the long and short of it is that you need a boot image built with the LEGACY kernel instead of the GENERIC config. which i can point you to on demand

NetBSD calls it amd64, but good enough!

trivia: NetBSD supported AMD's 64-bit x86 architecture (that Intel later adopted) before basically any other major operating system, running on the simulator before real hardware was even available! support in Linux, the other BSDs, and Windows, did not follow for years.

you can read more about it in the paper "Porting NetBSD to the AMD x86-64: a case study in OS portability" by Frank van der Linden: https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/bsdcon02/full_papers/linden/linden.pdf

if you are a new #NetBSD user here is a good way to think about what to expect on NetBSD:

NetBSD 11.0 runs about equally as well on my Sega Dreamcast or a 30 year old Pentium II PC as it does on any modern computer that i have. *this goes both ways*.

to know whether your modern gaming pc will be able to do something, you should first ask yourself: "could i do this on a Sega Dreamcast or a 30 year old Pentium II PC?". if the answer is yes, you will probably succeed! if the answer is no, it still might be possible, but here be daemons.

for example:

- can i ssh into it and edit files and compile little programs?
yes! absolutely! definitely.
- can i run a webserver?
indeed you can.
- can i install Steam?
hahahahaha no.
- can i run X11?
yep! may need to do some tweaking depending on your hardware though.
- can i run KDE plasma?
outlook not so good.

_________________________

most commonly the misinformation i've seen about the more technical aspects (what i'm familiar with most) rather than artistic/management, falls into one of these categories:

- Carmack being responsible for a whole lot stuff that he was not, and which Abrash was actually behind. Carmack in my estimation is great at algorithms and rather bad at actual coding. Abrash does not get enough credit imo.

- conflation of the FXCH pipeline optimizations that specifically benefit the Pentium's microarchitecture, with the more general trick interleaving of fpu/integer operations that benefits *all* x86-architecture CPUs (even theoretically back to the 8088+8087 if you managed to port Quake to it; *maybe* not some very specific Cyrix clones), and would theoretically benefit some non-x86 architectures if equivalently done in either the C code (which would be *nasty*) or if those architectures had hand-optimized assembly

- explanations about the BSP frequently fail to mention or explain the PVS, which seems like a very large detail to leave out

like, one of ways i am thinking about this is, i was raised without religion, but i know for a fact that my dad attempted to instill himself as a voice in my head (and i strongly suspect was and is aware of the bicameral mind theory and used this to inform his approach). perhaps if that had not been the case, i would *not* have developed an imaginary friend at age 5, that disappeared at 7 or 8 (which, coincidentally, is when i heard him say something about trying to instill himself as a voice in my head, and started examining that)

i have strong, i'd almost say eidetic, memory of my early childhood, and the experiences i remember of passing through each childhood development stage, i think, supports this. i can at least certainly agree with the interpretation. but i don't think it is universal.

but i also think that this might be confounded by both religion and upbringing in general. there are parents out there whose explicit goal in early childhood is to *implant* such a voice in their child's head, and one can argue that many religions functionally do the same.

_________________________

personally i think the idea that the bicameral mind voice thing is "the default state" might even be going a little too far in the wrong direction.

i prefer to think of it as more that "hearing voices" is a natural way for the mind to interpret and interact with complex internal phenomena. it is a tool for the mind to use. and, in turn, you can learn to consciously choose to use it, too, and go in the other direction.

well in one case i am running of the actual source of truth data, and in the other i am using a pre rendered copy of it.

it is the difference between watching a movie and watching a phone camera recording of the movie downloaded from someone on the internet.

the fact that the wikimedia provides their own "phone screen recording" version for kiwix does not change what it is.

the wikipedia app is a full fledged editor, not just a viewer. i want all of its functionality, and for all of it to work fully offline.

i cannot edit the underlying "kiwix database" and get new pages if i wanted to, because there is no such thing, it is a static rendered page.

if what i want requires no less than running an entire copy of mediawiki inside the app to serve the REST api to the frontend, then that i what i seek

i'm probably going to be told tomorrow that i'm being laid off, so if anyone has a lead on a decent remote embedded software engineering or unix/linux systems job, i've got a resume to send you.

i don't like discussing the specifics of who my past clients have been in public. however, my most recent position was contracting with the kernel team of a major CDN and cloud services provider that i know many people on fedi are also current or former employees of, maintaining their internal linux distribution (an customized Ubuntu downstream) for their custom server platforms, porting forward and cleaning up patchsets to newer versions of the distribution, fixing issues in toolchains and libraries, etc.

i've also done embedded software work for a large variety of devices including medical, cellular technology, and industrial control equipment, in addition to some consumer products. i've done board bringup and BSP development with Yocto/Openembedded, Buildroot, FreeRTOS, etc, on most major SoC and microcontroller families. when doing business logic, I am most comfortable in C and Lua, but fine working with C++ codebases, and can learn to work with other languages if a project needs it.

i unironically believe that windows nt 4.0 is a better operating system than pretty much any version that followed it

no idea, and yes, pdfs with images are bigger but this usually shrinks them by a decent chunk too

the pdfs im speaking of generally have little in the way of images and are mostly text, and usually shrink from the 20-40mb range down to <1mb

i do this kind of thing all the time with PDFs. i download old manuals or such from the internet all the time and get frustrated by how incredibly slowly they load/render. and then i look and see that they're 150MiB in size for some reason, and will not open in older computers (often the ones they are manuals for)

i usually just run them through `pdf2ps` then back through `ps2pdf12` to turn them into v1.2 PDF files, and they become much smaller and will open on my quadra 700 or my 486

i agree completely. one hour per day is pretty much what i strive for. if i do two i'm either having a real good day or i'm making up for procrastinating

most of my work is thinking about my work. a small portion of my work is acting upon the results of my thinking

but, since the thinking isn't nearly as measurable as time spent coding is, micromanager-types refuse to acknowledge this

funny enough, a few times when i *have* tried asking AI to help to see what happened, oftentimes it has... without me ever even submitting the prompt. because the act of spending 30 minutes thinking about how to correctly and completely phrase the problem got me to the correct solution.

if this helps, "itanium abi" in this context usually refers to the name mangling scheme used for C++ objects, most platforms have since standardized on the one itanium introduced and GCC moved over to it in 3.x

i've never understood why companies seem to think that "we like to make sure our products meet the bare minimum legal requirements that we are forced to adhere to" is a reassuring answer. i've gotten almost these same words from a number of different companies when i've made similar inquiries - most of whom i no longer buy products from

anyone know of a spectre/meltdown/etc testsuite that actually checks whether it can do the attack instead of just looking at what the cpuid and kernel claim to be mitigating against?
