Bloat.


Scummvm has that on Android too.


>I wish I could still use them for communication somehow.

Bitlbee + IRC client.


That computer was used at sdf.org. Some Linux "smart" people suggested to switch to Intel and Linux. The system got uber exploited. Then, they switched to NetBSD under Alpha. No issues registered until today.


OpenBSD uses OpenJDK8 in -stable.


And OpenBSD has large numbers of skilled VM engineers sitting around doing nothing?

OpenJDK is Oracle. They're the same people. If Oracle stop releasing bug fixes to the open source project OpenBSD isn't going to step up and suddenly start doing backports all themselves.


Netsurf, you meant. BTW, install trickle (a bandwitdh limiter) and then:

trickle -s -t 1 -d 16 -u 8 netsurf-gtk

You'll enjoy the delays.


Meh. Just give me some portable device like the PocketCHIP or the ZipitZ2, not this hipster bullshit.


This is just for a different audience than CHIP.

Good luck running e.g. Google Maps or Firefox on a CHIP.


Also, Surf with the PSP user agent is really good.

But someone will create a clamshell like device as the old 90-00's PDA with Linux, and it will show Android as a clunky device to create media instead of being just a TV substitute.


GMaps works on the chip :p


PocketCHIP looks to me to be the definition of hipster, haha!


OpenBSD VT fonts are almost the same.

Check Luxi Mono for TTF fonts.

I recently noted Solaris 11 boots the console to the same they used with the SPARCStations.


It’s been that way since around 2012, not that it helped them after Snoracle’s abundant blunders.

It’d be really cool if they brought the Black-on-Gray console OBP font back to illumos though. That would be a treat.


Cool, I’ll check it out.


Well, I've read Snow Crash yesterday.

How interesting...

(Anyone who read the book can relate...)


Nam shub of enki indeed


NetBSD could run much better.


So could MS-DOS ;)


But MS-DOS just brings fun, boring fun with FreeDOS and ScummVM adventures:D NetBSD gives you Cataclysm DDA over SSH.
