I tried this on #OracleSolaris 11.4 on a 3.4Ghz Intel Skylake system and got numbers slightly better than @tedu reported on #OpenBSD (after fixing the printf to use "%ld" instead of "%lld"):

elapsed: 0.001843s
elapsed: 0.001782s
elapsed: 0.001574s
elapsed: 0.001827s

That may just be relative CPU speed however, since I don't know what CPU he tested on.

Question for #OpenBSD folk, I'm running current and obvs upgrade snapshots with doas sysupgrade -s . When 7.8 comes out I take it I just continue doing the same as I read that I no longer need to do the other stuff as of 7.7 . Am I correct ?

See referenced text below:

Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) updated the version of OpenBSD -current to "7.7-current".
Those running the latest-and-greatest [via a sufficiently new snapshot or built from source] no longer need to use "-D snap" with pkg_add(1) (and pkg_info(1)).

OpenBSD 7.7.and KDE Plasma 6.3.3, from first principles:

I used the OpenBSD FAQ to get a basic X Window system running, including trunking the wireless adapter.

I then checked recommendations in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/* to setup KDE Plasma etc.

Quite pleased with the documentation, and the result!

Am I missing something?

Two #blog posts in less than one week!

It was considered known that there is no support within GNAT (Ada) for illumos. We cross-build a complete native binutils+gcc toolchain for illumos to test out this claim.

...only to discover that illumos has full support within GNAT. Not a single test fails.
