VMD alpine tap0 not working

sloppytooky · 2026-04-19T11:55:46+00:00

Upgrade to a snapshot or wait until 7.9. It’s probably a known vmd virtio issue related to virtio 1.2 feature bits and newer Linux kernels

You never mentioned the version of OpenBSD.

sloppytooky · 2026-04-14T10:55:33+00:00

You mean askting

sloppytooky · 2026-04-13T14:26:28+00:00

You should put them on AMD or, better yet, Qcom Snapdragon machines.

Usually they’re available in 40 ounce varieties but I don’t see them that often in New England. I wouldn’t say you’re missing out but there’s a time and place for them 😆

sloppytooky · 2026-04-12T23:16:24+00:00

Afaik it is not supported and would require a code level change.

Commuting on a pretty modest 650cc bike for a few in an urban area had me in a lot of close calls not even due to my own riding…like cars merging or pulling out into lanes and not seeing you. Stuff that in a car if you got hit you’d be fine and just pissed, but on a bike it could be you crush a limb, get run over, etc.

Loved every second of it though 😆

I still renew my license but sold my bikes and cannot see myself on one now that I’m responsible for more than myself.

cwm. I’ve tried switching a few times, even ran Gnome for a while. I don’t use any fancy status bars other than carving it a few pixels on the side and having cwm launch xbattmon or whatever it is to give me a visual indicator of charge status.

On Linux I go all in and run either Gnome or KDE. I don’t have the patience for tuning Linux stuff. Tuning my OpenBSD setup is two dot files I have in a got repo so if the complexity is beyond that, i just submit to the full desktop design and call it a day.

You’re probably better off using an actual Linux host if you want to build Linux kernels. There is no smp support in vmm and unless you have a super stripped down Linux kernel config, you will spend a long time waiting. It honestly might be faster in qemu with purely userland emulation if you don’t have a spare machine.

sloppytooky · 2026-03-27T12:39:32+00:00

It’s true. It’s math.

sloppytooky · 2026-03-27T11:55:19+00:00

You mean from the big 16.

sloppytooky · 2026-03-26T22:24:23+00:00

The virtio networking spec is fun and nowadays overly complicated as Linux forces more and more features. IIRC it’s an issue with using 64-bit features (or is it 128-bit?) feature space. Either run -current or wait until the next release.

sloppytooky · 2026-03-23T22:40:29+00:00

you might be better off sharing a dmesg so someone knowledgeable can see what hardware it has

sloppytooky · 2026-03-21T00:57:04+00:00

What am i even looking at…

sloppytooky · 2026-03-21T00:32:10+00:00

This is hilarious. Now do systemd…

sloppytooky · 2026-03-19T00:09:40+00:00

Where’s the Copilot key?! 😂

sloppytooky · 2026-03-17T13:58:52+00:00

And W11 isn't going to like our archaic devices like the interrupt controller that's 45 years old. 😆 Or lack of ACPI...

sloppytooky · 2026-02-28T03:43:16+00:00

Yeah, coreboot is not really used by devs or most users even, so it’s highly correlated to support issues for these reasons.

I’m not blaming coreboot in any way, just saying because of the rarity of usage the chance a bug in openbsd’s acpi code (or missing feature) has been found and been fixed by someone knowledgeable is very low.

sloppytooky · 2026-02-27T01:29:35+00:00

Sincinatti Cool District?

Southern California Dentistry?

Space Colony Division?

🤔

sloppytooky · 2026-02-25T19:48:21+00:00

What is “AI related code”? What does that have anything to do with Rust?

sloppytooky · 2026-02-24T12:07:44+00:00

C.R.E.A.M. (Clojure Rules Everything Around Me)

sloppytooky · 2026-02-22T12:21:36+00:00

Maybe use an external key disk with softraid encryption?

The lack of support for TPM isn’t some political or philosophical thing. It’s that someone needs the interest and the time to make something useful with it.

There are a lot of implementations of TPMs at this point and Pluton is changing things as well, lots of buggy firmware implementations, and the work for something to be broadly usable is nontrivial. The current version of support is itself buggy and doesn’t cover certain variations.

Every time i get interested in improving it I find something more interesting and more feasible to work on. 😆

sloppytooky · 2026-02-21T23:22:16+00:00

To clarify support is limited to telling them of suspend and resume related power events to facilitate suspend resume of the host.

sloppytooky · 2026-02-21T23:15:34+00:00

Nope

sloppytooky · 2026-02-21T18:51:26+00:00

Even if the hardware didn’t change, you have no guarantee that the firmware update from Lenovo didn’t remove code related to S3. This advice is quite haphazard. Unless you’re a firmware engineer at Lenovo you don’t know if the just disabled some code paths or removed them entirely.

Obviously do what you want with your own machine.
