To bring up OpenBSD on the RK3128, I have to compile a kernel on my laptop, copy it to an SD card, remove it, put it in the target, test it, remove the card, then repeat

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me. The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI. www.wired.com/story/doge-r...
