Anyway, following on from my recent (somewhat turbulent) #netbsd adventures: I dug out my Radeon HD 6670, an awful 14-year-old graphics card and shoved it in my PC.
Here's ClassiCube, a recreation of Minecraft Classic (and my server for it, Thirty) running on NetBSD, cause why not.

Finally got NetBSD installed (the installation media I was using last time was causing it to panic for some reason?), but it doesn’t support my GPU. Which is five years old. :(

Welp, guess no NetBSD on my desktop. Random kernel panic in the middle of extracting the sets. So much for the slogan.

Uh so take care using the NetBSD partitioner I guess, because it decided to turn a 1.5 TB btrfs partition full of data into an ESP, even though I didn't select it...

Why do Electron apps have such awful text rendering on Linux? Nevermind it's not subpixel antialiased most of the time (AGH!!), It's sometimes worse than even regular greyscale text.

I’ve been using Windows again the past few days, after KDE developed a bug where locking my screen would make one of my displays stop working and prevent any keyboard input with the only recovery method being to ssh in and reboot.

but right now, I am trying to use NetBSD on my outgoing Pi 2, and it is taking ridiculously long to expand the file system.

Tonight's 1am debugging session
![Commit message in TortoiseHg:
[tip] Set client socket fd to INVALID_SOCKET after closing it, and check it before closing it
Previously it was mistakenly set to 0, which is the FD for stdin. When a client
disconnected, client_disconnect set it to 0, then client_destroy would try to
close it again, inadvertently closing stdin. When a client connects after that,
FD 0 might be reused for their socket, so command_tick_readline would poll on
it thinking it's stdin, and rl_callback_read_char would swallow a byte from it,
causing the new connection to fail due to malformed data.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4lzwgrx4bxbaj4ixpxqj5f2x/bafkreibgfb3ovo562bwnvu26dpt5w7mqgakvh4rxb7lgdbzgbamuxxytd4@jpeg)
