Nice, I have NetBSD v10.0 on my Thinkpad T420, and issues I had with an external monitor has been fixed plus is is more zippy.

The only remaining issue I have with 10.0 is when the system is under very heavy load, Xorg can get temporarily corrupted after about 1 hour of the job running. I create PR 58217 for that issue.

In reality, I think very few people will ever run into this problem, but hoping for a 10.x fix some day :)

I remember working in a warehouse that stored many ICs when I was very young. IIRC, Zilog packaging was quite good. Some other brands packages would crack or open up if nor handled with “kid gloves”. This brings back memories,

One of my favorite shows. The show started out very well, then morphed into a shoot-them-up type show in the later seasons, which I did not like. But I stuck with it.

Too bad it went the way it did :(

I binged it a year ago or so, yes it holds up well and is still entertaining :) I use to watch it when it came out, but I missed most of the first season back then.

Enjoy,

I saw this a while ago, very nice. What was the end result, was it upgraded to a newer NetBSD ?

I use to use FreeBSD 20 years ago, but when OpenBSD dumped Linux emulation, I decided to try it and it worked out fine for me. Plus I find networking much simpler with hostname.* and join.

I decided to move to gemini on SDF. Data is far easier to maintain and you can use any editor to add/change files.

In case you do not know what I am referring to:

The add seems fine for me, just replace the fight with Cell Phones and you are good to go.

But in 2023 with all the movies with blood and gore, this being NSFW in 2023 is a bit over kill :) Never mind the fact here is the US we now get see children being shot for real in news casts :( And accidentally showing a certain body part in a sports event, you get banned for life.

No sooner then I posted I ran across this:

Once I am forced to use Wayland, hopefully that will still be active :)

Yes, that is what people keep saying, but isn’t sway a Tiling Window Manager ? I do not like Tiling, if something that works exactly like cwm, then I would not be too concerned about Wayland.

So far, the only choices for Wayland seems to be GMOME3, KDE, soon XFCE, the rest are tiling like sway. I just heard about Hyprland, which is also tiling.

So seems for me and I am sure others, the selection is very limited.

Wayland requires a Desktop Environment from what I can see. There is Sway, but that is a tiling environment, but I know little about that. So for “floating windows”, all there is GNOME3, KDE and Enlightenment. DE are heavy to begin with, cwm on X is very lite on resources.

This I am not sure about, but from what I have read, all window processing (rendering) needs to be done by the “Widow manager”. In X you just call functions.

It is nice they are trying to port Wayland. But I really hope Wayland does not replace xenocara. Running Wayland on old hardware will be rather hard.

A couple:

1. CRC Errors when restoring 9-track tapes (the large reels) on a mini at work.

2. A manager not knowing a removable 256meg Disk Pack suffered a heard crash. So he mounted it on 4 or 5 production drives, destroying the hardware. He did this to test if the Disk pack was OK. This caused almost a month of agony while we went looking for hardware to replace the drives. This caused manufacturing to slow down since inventory could not be ordered.

I can almost laugh now :)

geezes, in today’s political environment that “scandal” would not even hit the top ten :)

I really did not like how Kes (Jennifer Lien) was written out so they could have a Borg Character. Nothing against Jeri Ryan, but the idea of Kes type Alien was intriguing. Then when they brought her back as a god like character even made the concept for Kes worse.

The other thing missed is laptops manufactured within the past 10 years will meet most people’s needs, so no need to purchase new if there is no hardware issues.

And I wish they mentioned the TPM2 requirement Microsoft is forcing on people, that could generate a lot of ewaste.

Disabling nouveau did not fix the issue, but was a good idea, thanks.

Maybe time for another thread but I am still researching a bit, but the W541 has this for Video:

• Device-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel
• Device-2: NVIDIA GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M],

I think per: https://man.netbsd.org/nouveau.4 that should be supported. If I cannot find any more info I may create a PR for 10-BETA.

Well, the AMD333 (PII) now has NetBSD 9.3. It is working very well and works rather will and zippy considering its age.

I discovered the CDROM Drive was causing issues. I replaced it with one from a junk IBM PC a relative was tossing out. All good :)

How much memory. Also are you waiting for the kernel relink to complete ?

I have OpenBSD 7.3 on a R51e and it works fine, zippy considering. But of course, Firefox is a no go . It has 2gig memory, but I always wait for the relink to complete :)

Normally I would say anything over 10 years old. But due to how 10 year old computers are fully useable, I am thinking anything with 1 core. Maybe in a few years it could be ones without a TMP2 :)
