I can confirm that on my #OpenBSD -current #367 machine hw.blockcpu=L works for enabling SMT instead of the soon to be obsolete hw.smt=1

#RunBSD Recent obsession is about reusing #arm64 boards that sleep unplugged.. So today, here are two sets of notes regarding #OpenBSD support.

Running on the #ODROID HC4 is pretty decent now. It already runs the DHCP, DNS and the WireGuard gateway. More is to come, if everything goes well.
https://www.tumfatig.net/2026/running-openbsd-7.8-on-odroid-hc4/

Running on the #Raspberry Pi Zero 2W is fairly unstable as-of now.
https://www.tumfatig.net/2026/openbsd-7.8-on-raspberry-pi-zero-2w/

It takes aaaaaaaaaaages to compile #GoToSocial for #OpenBSD on a #Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W... but it's a good stableness benchmark. So far, it has not hanged - now that I use another Ethernet Hat and POE adapter.

EDIT OK thanks to @r1w1s1@snac.bsd.cafe I'm now at 39 lines long. 🤣

TIL that, if you have a USB soundbar connected to your #OpenBSD laptop, it is better to use sndiod -f rsnd/0 -F rsnd/1 than sndiod -f rsnd/1 (to force USB only). The first one works nice. The second seems to bring high latency on mpv and weird sound rendering on vlc.

TIL that the trunk(4) #OpenBSD manual page has an EXAMPLES section that describes how to "(...) set up roaming between wired and wireless networks using two network devices (...)". Which means you don't have to access the OpenBSD FAQ to do it. And that's fscking great when you brought your laptop to the and forgot to configure the automatic switching!

#RunBSD

All this years of #OpenBSD installations with <Enter> as sane answers to installer questions…

Then, you miss the "add user to additionnal group" question during #FreeBSD installation and you end up with a (remote) server on which you can’t connect using SSH as root (expected) but can connect using the regular user (expected); which can’t ˋsubecause it’s not part of thewheel` group (documented in man page but unexpected).

• firefox is slower (at speedometer 3.1: 6.99-7.49 vs 7.96-8.18)
• ungoogled-chromium crashes

  GPU process isn't usable
  

• trackpad: ok (got fixed?)
• trackpoint: not ok (still not working)

How does #FreeBSD handle this?

browsers are 2-3% faster than in #xenocara

trackpad and trackpoint are not working as expected

whole setup a bit more complicated (starting from tty0, installing extra packages, extra line in fbtab, etc)

for this week at least i'm switching back to good old #x11 and #cwm :)

cc: @haddock@bsd.network

also curious if recent changes help in any way...

other windows (incl. #firefox) are respecting settings from /etc/X11/xenodm/Xresources

Xcursor.size: 96
Xcursor.theme: dmz

4.32 vimb
7.36 qutebrowser
7.96 firefox
9.76 iridium
9.78 ungoogled-chromium

notes: when i re-run the tests scores are changing (just slightly); at some point openbsd frozen during vimb test (just once, couldn't reproduce, worked well after reboot)
