@0x0@hachyderm.io Well it runs this snac instance, and occasionally I sit down to enjoy some slow computing experiencing the X Window System the way it was meant to be: Simple, twm-like (ctwm, technically) and text-oriented. ;)
#snac #snac2 #SlowComputing

Upgraded this instance to 2.88 (no, not the floppy format) plus a few commits.. #snac2 keeps chugging along on this 486. Thank you, @grunfink@comam.es :D

Also amazing that this thing did not OOM-kill processes all over the place; even before I started compiling I did a pkgin upgrade on the poor box, which took .. a few hours. I'm all outta swap, real low on RAM, and yet it somehow got through this .. #NetBSD for the win, I guess.

Says top:

Memory: 56M Act, 27M Inact, 11M Wired, 15M Exec, 820K File, 2076K Free
Swap: 128M Total, 128M Used, 4K Free / Pools: 23M Used / Network: 23K In, 34K Out

I'm having the weirdest problem on this machine .. Trying to use #DTrace on #NetBSD to profile #snac2, sometimes it works sometimes it will not actually give me any data (just print the headers). I'm using the hotuser script from the OpenDTrace toolkit.

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? :)
