I’ve been lurking on the PINE64 ROCKPro64 for a long time but its price compared to other options has always kept me from buying one. But being very happy with my ODROID HC4, I went hunting for a ROCKPro64 and found one.
I have (a small) ZFS NAS plans for it. But before I get all the hardware, let’s take a quick look at it running various BSD systems.Continue reading...
A few years ago, I ran OpenBSD 7.4 on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W . It was working quite nice as a DHCP and DNS server. But it froze too often for my linkings and I stopped using it.
These days, that particular board is still not referenced on the official OpenBSD arm64 supported hardware list. Still, I gave it a try on OpenBSD 7.8.Continue reading...
Some times ago, I acquired an ODROID HC4 arm64 board and installed OpenBSD 7.2 on it. I used it for a moment but there were issues when running with two disks so I stopped using it.

As a non fluent Python person, I couldn’t solve all the errors I encountered and decided to see if the FreeBSD Linux Binary Compatibility feature would be able to achieve the goal; after all, there are people using it to watch DRM stuff from the Clouds.
Spoiler alert: it does work given an organized small amount of command line spells.Continue reading...
