Installed a new blank keyboard on my @FrameworkPuter@twitter.com laptop

The Apple Macintosh as a User Interface Agent for Unix Systems (1988)

I added this to OpenBSD in 2004 and it's since propagated to FreeBSD in 2009, NetBSD in 2019, and now DragonFly.

It was my first kernel/C contribution and I had no idea what I was doing but Theo was very supportive and helped me figure it out.

So many I/O errors :(

A friend of mine was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and needs to find a suitable blood stem cell donor

Hey I know a Rich Siegel from Twitter... @siegel@twitter.com

To the youths:

Good thing I added caching to

mfw someone leaves a 1-star review for pushover saying they won't pay the one-time $4.99 and are going to setup their own self-hosted solution for "free"

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...
