Success! After wrangling with radeondrm/EFI issues, I finally managed to get #OpenBSD 6.3 running on my old iMac with multiple monitors fully supported (thanks to some manual modeline work with cvt and xrandr)

#RUNBSD

#reintroductions #introductions

Update/expansion of my intro last year. I'm now going into fourth year maths rather than theoretical physics, having switched degrees. (That's assuming I pass some exams this week that I deferred due to illness).

I brew beer as a hobby, and code when I have spare time. I enjoy writing science fiction, but I'm a long way away from publishing anything.

I have 111 characters spare so: My favourite equation is $\int_M \mathrm{d}\omega = \int_{\partial M}\omega$

My G5 project computer. It’s been staring at me for months. I’m hoping the kids will help me finish it while they’re home from school. It would be nice to get it up and running again. #OpenBSD

TIL that CD audio is at 44.1 kHz because humans can only hear up to 22.05 kHz and by the #Nyquist sampling theorem, if we sample at twice the frequency we get a perfect recreation.

@j Normally if I'm planning a library day I wear an extra thick sweater. :) But the heat was on last week, and I didn't expect the cold snap.

The feature I mist most of all when not using #OpenBSD, is ifconfig handling wifi. Linux is a shitshow in comparison (although iwd, recommended by the #voidlinux handbook, looks promising)

I occasionally use #scihub to access papers that are freely available, purely because unlike many journal sites, it doesn't require me to run javascript.

Let's make a Linux distro that simulates the phone experience by just refusing to continue updating after two years and then you have to go to some forum and download a patched image for your computer built by someone called queefburglar69

Spent 5 minutes troubleshooting why my distraction-filled social/news sites weren't working this morning before I remembered I'd blocked them in /etc/hosts yesterday.
