Don't summon the dark forces—just run NetBSD! Portable, clean, and reliable enough to wake the dead (or at least that 20-year-old ThinkPad in your closet). 💻🚩
Happy Halloween to all the BSD daemons out there! 😈🎃
What’s the weirdest hardware you’ve resurrected with NetBSD? 🧙♂️

@jaypatelani@bsd.network An eeePC 900 I bought to run FreeBSD, of course. :neocat_happy_blep: FreeBSD didn't work with the wi-fi. Blessing in disguise really, as FreeBSD dropped it's 32-bit x86 support some time after I got it. OpenBSD didn't work with the wi-fi either. However, #NetBSD supported it perfectly. I recently gave it some upgrades too, so now it's got RAM and storage to spare!
