            NetBSD: вторая жизнь Nintendo Wii. Как и зачем я установил эту ОС на игровую консоль

            Привет, Хабр! Мое плотное знакомство с консолями Nintendo началось с Wii U. Так уж получилось, что лучшей серией слешеров я считаю Bayonetta. А поскольку вторая часть вышла как эксклюзив для Wii U, мне пришлось приобрести приставку. Потом заодно познакомился с The Legend of Zelda — и понеслось. Примерно то же самое случилось и с выходом Bayonetta 3 — обзавелся Nintendo Switch. Что самое интересное, у меня никогда не было обычной Wii. Волей случая мне в руки попался замечательный экземпляр, но на него я решил посмотреть с точки зрения железа. Внутри меня ждал любопытный конфиг из PowerPC процессора IBM Broadway + SoC производства ATI, который отвечает за графику, а также устройств ввода-вывода.

NetBSD fails to reset the ethernet hardware, and the driver fails to attach. I messaged port-arm. I'm going to set it down for a bit.

                                    manpageblog v1.6 just got released. It is a static blog engine concept that treats written content like classic Unix man pages. It puts content first without sacrificing style and delivers a clean, elegant reading experience free from JavaScript, infinite scrolling, and other distracting clutter. The result is a fast, focused, and genuinely enjoyable way to consume high-quality content which can easily be served on very low power systems and follows the pure minimalism concept.

                                    manpageblog is written in Python and available for many systems, including , , or based ones like but also on like or .

                                    Changelog v1.6:

                                    • Pagination support added
                                    • Sitemap support added

                                    • LD+JSON support added
                                    manpageblog was initially crafted by me to match the minimalism on FreeBSD and you can directly start with it from the ports:

It has to be the early Zero with the ARM1176JZFS (earmv6hf), because newer Arm CPUs can't run earmv4 and earmv5 binaries properly (some instructions aren't implemented on newer CPUs and would need trap handlers).

                                                    The machine itself runs NetBSD 11 earmv6hf and runs NetBSD 10 earmv4 in a chroot.

                                                    pkgsrc-2025Q3 had 15501 packages, and 2025Q4 started with 12647. This can now be added to the list of build machines :)

                                                                AI models don’t really 'get' the BSDs. As a result, they often provide incomplete, imprecise, or flat-out wrong answers by defaulting to Linux paradigms. When it comes to illumos-based systems, they just completely lose the plot.

                                                                This is becoming a serious issue for the BSDs and illumos ecosystems. We are seeing entire websites flooded with AI-generated tutorials and guides that are totally incorrect. Most people don't realize this; they follow the instructions, fail, and then assume that the BSDs doesn't work well or are 'unstable' because they have supposedly changed since the guide was written.

                                                                Luckily, some people eventually find my blog, reach out, and finally understand what's actually going on. Others, unfortunately, end up on major social sites or comments, claiming that these systems are broken.

                                                                In 2026, one of our greatest challenges will be teaching people how to vet their sources and filter information.
                                                                And I see this as a very, very uphill battle.
