Notes

My laptop of choice in 2001 was the Sony VAIO PCG-Z505 (with WaveLAN 802.11b PCMCIA card)

In 2001 I was working at a small ISP doing software development and had just bought my first townhouse

My "server room" at my new house was architecturally diverse with i386, powerpc, and alpha OpenBSD servers (plus a Tektronix X terminal)

I made my first OpenBSD commit 20 years ago today

My friend @bluerise@twitter.com is giving a virtual talk for us at ChiBUG tomorrow evening about Protecting OpenBSD from DMA Attacks

RSVP to rsvp@chibug.org to attend the talk via Zoom

I've also got interrupts working for the touchpad now

I've committed the fix and it will be in the next snapshots:

I've found the cause of the display flickering problem in the OpenBSD kernel and have a fix for it, which also fixes S3 resume and HDMI output on the Framework (and possibly other devices)

Never change, Hacker News

Twitter: hey nice build man
Lobsters: cool but you're gonna hurt your neck looking 3 degrees downward bro
Hacker News: this is shit, you're an idiot, you picked all the wrong parts, and I'd never build something this terrible

I wrote up some more details about my fanless OpenBSD desktop:

I got tired of new laptops so I built a fanless OpenBSD desktop

- Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G
- Streacom DB4 case
- LG UltraFine 21" monitor (4096x2304)
- GMMK Pro keeb

I guess I was too quick to sell my X1 Nano since Lenovo finally added an S3 suspend option with a firmware update
