Notes

Ok false alarm, I don't think it's related to that FreeBSD corruption issue. I filed a new issue for my crash and rolled back to mariadb-{server,client} 10.5.9 packages for now:

https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-27064

There's a warning on
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-1064-release-notes/ (thanks @jimh_@twitter.com) about file corruption on FreeBSD (
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-26537) which might be the same issue. I'll have to debug after my hair is no longer on fire.

Just a heads up for anyone else having MariaDB crashes on OpenBSD 7.0.

I upgraded an OpenBSD server from 6.9 to 7.0 the other day which updated MariaDB server from 10.5.9 to 10.6.4 and mariadbd started crashing this evening with an InnoDB assertion failure on a specific query (reproducible) even after a clean re-import of the entire database. \

Wikipedia seems to agree, indicating it started on Lisa OS:

"The keys involved all cluster together at the left end of the bottom row of the standard QWERTY keyboard"

I guess I should have actually looked at my keyboard before asking...

How did the keyboard shortcut for Paste become Command+V in Mac System 1? Obviously it couldn't be P because Print used that, but why V?

LaserWriter II was a fun read

I was sad OpenBSD wouldn't work on the original Raspberry Pi Zero since it was based on the original Pi 1 and we no longer have an armv6 port, but the Pi Zero 2 is based on the Pi 3 which is supported by OpenBSD/arm64 so hopefully it will work on this. I have one pre-ordered...

After selling 21 of them, I only have one WiFiStation kit remaining and I will probably not be making/selling any more (myself, anyway)

I've returned to System 6 programming again after a hiatus. Recently I made a small revision control system called Amend to manage the code that I write on my Mac.

When you write a bunch of code at once and don't trust that it won't bomb the computer so you single-step through every line in the debugger to inspect variables along the way and it's actually working

This poor thing must take forever to boot

I even got this StyleWriter II and a new ink cartridge just so I could print the registration form from my Mac

Darn, I tried to register my 26-year old copy of ZTerm but it was returned to me

I'm loving all these ancient desktops being uploaded
