Image of a cat hiding behind some cardboard boxes. You can just see the top of it's head staring at you. It has the text "SOON!!"

Here is a quick look on an AOOSTAR R1 N150 clone. How good does it support Linux Debian, #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD and #OmniOS from a general performance and power consumption POV.

This is a 2 SATA bays NAS with an extra single NVMe slot. Looks like a perfect silent NAS-Hypervisor combo. And, it can #RunBSD; although I choose #illumos for it.

EDIT: I have plugged a 32 GB DDR4 RAM stick in it and it is working properly!
EDIT2: it seems the SATA slots are either not hot-plugguable, or OmniOS does not know how to deal with SATA disk that you plug in while it's alive.

A long look at #NetBSD 10.1

NetBSD really is everywhere.

(Apologies for linking SubStack again. Public service announcement - please don't use SubStack! They monetize actual Nazis.)

(And the NetBSD Foundation folks pointed out that the article is LLM slop!)

(And I decided to link to https://netbsd.org/gallery/research.html but the NetBSD web site isn't answering. Bah!)

Here, we'll use this:

Week 2: File Sharing

In this final video lecture segment for our week 2 materials, we take a look at what it means when multiple processes access the same files and what the implications of that are on the syscalls we know. We conclude with a look at /dev/fd on different operating systems, including #NetBSD, #macOS, and #Linux
