Because I like torturing my Pentium Pro, I'm mentioning this one here. Just in case it should be of interest to anyone. Beware of the slightly nsfw second post in the thread. It's late, my boss is visiting, I had a few beers. It seemed like a good idea at the time. ;)

#RetroComputing #NetBSD #Fediverse #Snac #Snac2

@nina_kali_nina Try OS/2. There's a lot of POSIX-compliance in various libs (EMX, kLIBC, etc.), but certainly not enough to make life register on any "easy" scale.

While there, help me get #snac2 ported? :D I'm at my wits' end (which, admitedly, is not very far at all.)

@stefano Hola! Here's the discussion on #snac2 about performance on slow computers, and the user inz has a patch set that has made a fair bit of difference on my 486 (though I don't have solid numbers on how much - when monitoring becomes more taxing than the service itself, etc..)

You mentioned testing this on fedimeteo? :)

Another issue is that the only way to stop dtrace is to kill -9 it, which takes the watched process with it in the fall..

Halp? :)
