That's right, you wouldn't want mains interference coupling on to your fibre data cabling. Thanks, Google AI!

Turns out DisplayLink supports run length encoding, and now, so do I. This is EGA from a Pi Pico 2 on the ISA bus, using DisplayLink over USB 1.1 as the output device.

I seem to have a habit of picking the hottest days to do the least suitable tasks. This weekend it's metal bashing. A few years ago it was running a multi-day AI model training job on 2x GPUs in the office server in the midst of a heatwave.

It is truly remarkable how Starmer and Streeting et al do not see how they are complicit in this sad state of affairs.
There are also striking parallels at a local level, where tone deaf Labour councillors with dogged policies are complicit in Reform sweeping in.

Looking at the DEC DSSI bus specification and wondering if something like Claude could create a working MCU/FPGA implementation.
A vibe coded computer bus / storage implementation, what could possibly go wrong.

You can now use the Plan 9 filesystem protocol to remotely read an EPROM hooked up to a Raspberry Pi Pico W.

PF was written 𝑓𝑜𝑟 OpenBSD, I recall writing PF rule sets for OpenBSD-based firewalls >20 years ago, and it was ported to other operating systems later.

No ZFS
No Linux ABI Compatibility
No advanced networking capabilities (like pf)
No NVIDIA Graphics
If you REALLY REALLY want BSD, pick FreeBSD. Netflix did so because they had really picky issues with Linux that they couldn't mitigate, especially regarding transferring Video
There's no "Actual Software" for OpenBSD. You can bode well with FreeBSD, but holy fucking shit. You're shooting yourself in the foot by using OpenBSD for anything serious.

The BBC should respond by collaborating with South Park to replace him in all future coverage with their cartoon likeness.
I reckon I've got that Director General job in the bag.
