    ... as the OG author of this thread I should say I /did/ drop in a memory upgrade into my Atari 1040STF. :-) I should write a blog post about that too if I haven't already.

    yup, the community is really coming together over this. I'm shocked and happily surprised. :-) There are gary / buster drop-ins now too. Super Buster has been talked about for Zorr…

    that's why the later OS releases after amiga/commodore imploded extended some of the memory APIs to say "This needs to be globally visible". That way you'd allocate message memory …

    hi! you can totally ask me that! (I'm adrian) TL;DR is - I learnt on the job and as a hobby, and I came to it having some idea of kernels and networking already.

    11ac adds to 11n. you have new channel widths, instead of just 20 and 40. It's 20, 40, 80, 80+80, 160. You have MCS0->9, and then you have 1->n spatial streams. It's like 11n, but …

    Hi! FreeBSD wifi person here! * ath(4)'s 11n support is much, much better now. All the AR93xx/AR95xx PCIe devices are supported and STA/AP 11n should work great. * iwn(4)'s 11n is …

    Yeah I looked; it's the IPC from Mach with some shimmed bits to do VM-y things for mapped message passing. Mach was mostly VM and IPC - so of course it looks like it's a lot of Mac…

    There's no parallel Mach kernel running. It's just Mach IPC shimmed as an FD type.

    FreeBSD's older than freenode. Inertia is.. inertia. A lot of FreeBSD developers only hang out on efnet, so that's where a lot of stuff happens.

    nope, it only builds inside freebsd for now. that's a bit of a sore point which I'd like to fix, but .. you know, ENOTIME.

    pfsense is using PF, and I'm not going to try and take any steam away from them. ipfw is small, lightweight and fine for what I'm experimenting with. If people want to include pf a…

    If this is still a problem then yeah, join #freebsd on efnet and ask for some help. :)

    Aha! Jump into #freebsd on IRC (on efnet, don't ask) and poke me (adri) and/or ask for help. If it's the same SoC in a different box, then it isn't too hard: * Attach serial consol…
