Yes, I found the main body perfectly readable, but the lighter grey on white could be a problem for some. I'd use something like #777 or darker here.

Hahah yeah, it's just a for fun/hobby PC. It's pretty beefy for what it is - 1.3GHz, 512MB RAM, 512GB SSD on a SATA card, fast AGP card. I can run a Debian desktop at 1080p on here.

Yep! I did some testing and found 6.8 was the final version to support 486 CPUs. The reason is the OpenBSD project switched to clang for the compiler in 6.9, and in the process became dependent on Pentium instructions. However, that doesn&#

When distros mention i386 support they often actually refer to i586 or i686, yes. True i386 support would mean compatible with the original Intel 386 processor from 1985. The 486 added a few additional instructions in 1989 but things really

I have been using the Ollama GUI on Windows since release and appreciated its simplicity. It recently received an update that puts a large "Turbo" button in the message box that links to a sign-in page. I'm trying Jan now and

I got Jan working with Ollama today. Jan reported it couldn't connect to my Ollama instance on the same host despite it working fine for other apps. I captured loopback and noticed Ollama returning an HTTP 403 forbidden message to Jan.

That's terrifying, thanks. I'm sure dollar signs are lighting up in someone's eyes somewhere.

My thoughts exactly. The recent GPT-OSS 20B parameter model was a nice upgrade, it really feels like having a local mini ChatGPT.

I felt the default GPT-5 responses were neutral. I checked and it hasn't yet emitted any emojis or exclamation marks, even though I used some in my replies. When I asked for a review of my question it focused on my query rather than me

Very nice! I wrote a Christmas letter on my Pentium 3 to my partner's family last year, it was very cozy feeling. Not only that, but I was able to print it to my networked Brother printer without a problem.

That is a good point. The "ordinal" century doesn't exactly line up with the digits in a "YYYY" format, thus "CCYY" creates some ambiguity depending on how one defines "century". I conclude my fa

Already a lot of comments here (2188 at the time of this comment) but wanted to share my 2c: * It feels a bit more competent, as if it had more nuance or detail to say about each point. * It got a few obscure details about OpenBSD correct

I like CCYY-MM-DD because it's also a valid file name on most systems, and using "CCYY" (century + year) instead of "YYYY" feels fancy.

It is still nice to use old versions of Office. I think 2003 was my favorite. Simple, usable, no usage-based UI, no pop-ups like "look at this new feature we silently installed!" while you're trying to write.

Wow, did you get some kind of notification in Edge? Maybe they're trying to detect certain remote desktop sessions used in scams or something.

It could be a badge of honor! You used the system so much that clones can't fool you. To be fair, Windows text rendering does have a very specific look that's difficult to perfectly replicate without using the actual Windows APIs.

I remember those themes - the sleek "glowing" blue accents on shiny silver and black UI elements looked so fancy back then. There was a Windows Media Player skin too if I recall correctly.

I am viewing this post on a real Windows XP system on a 440BX platform from 1998. ;) The BIOS splash text loads and animates but not much else. I'm using Palemoon 25 (SSE1). Impressive that it loads at all!

Wow! Very impressive board, I had no idea. It's kinda cool how we can directly see some of the chips that would be on the SuperIO card but directly on the mainboard. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the earliest mainboards I know of with on-board I/O including ATA is around Socket 5, the first mainstream Pentium boards. Some slightly older Socket 4 boards (circa 1994) have on-board I/O, but they weren't as common. M
