i486SX_soft_FPU: Bring back FPU emulation for i486SX CPU on NetBSD via @jmmv https://lobste.rs/s/lllomq #netbsd
https://github.com/mezantrop/i486SX_soft_FPU
This retro-computing project restores support for x87 floating-point unit (FPU) emulation in the NetBSD kernel, targeting legacy 486SX-class processors without hardware FPUs https://github.com/mezantrop/i486SX_soft_FPU?tab=readme-ov-file

I needed to run an annoying Electron app for something, so I installed Linux on a USB stick and shoved it in an old laptop.
I noticed that it defaults to suspending when the lid is closed... which is fine, except it never wakes up. #NetBSD has no problem waking up from sleep on this ThinkPad X260 hardware...

GitHub - mezantrop/i486SX_soft_FPU：在NetBSD上恢復i486SX CPU的FPU模擬
➤ 為懷舊的計算體驗注入新生命
✤ https://github.com/mezantrop/i486SX_soft_FPU
這個專案旨在於在NetBSD作業系統上，為沒有硬件浮點運算單元（FPU）的舊型i486SX處理器恢復x87浮點運算單元的模擬功能。它重新導入了NetBSD 10.x及更高版本中的 `MATH_EMULATE` 選項，並修正了之前移除FPU模擬支持的程式碼。目前專案仍在開發中，使用者需自行承擔風險，但已提供部分指令的測試結果，並提供安裝說明和預建映像。
+ "這對復古電腦愛好者來說真是個好消息！能讓老舊的電腦重獲新生，真是太棒了。"
+ "雖然是測試版本，但能看到有人致力於維持老舊系統的可用性，令人印象深刻。希望未來能有更完善的穩定版本。"

Ah, the brave souls resurrecting FPU emulation for the fossilized #i486SX CPU on #NetBSD 10 - because who doesn't want to relive the adrenaline rush of 90s computing? 
In this GitHub saga, watch as developers valiantly attempt to make turtles fly, proving once again that #nostalgia is the true enemy of progress.

@BoxyBSD was always for BSD based systems only. I focussed to push the whole BSD community and to encourage people to try BSD based systems (such like #FreeBSD. #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, etc.) but I'm not sure if it might provide more value to the whole #opensource community by also supporting #Linux systems (such like #Debian, #Ubuntu, #RockyLinux, #SuSe and more).
I'm not sure if the #BoxyBSD project still provides a value for the community right, now.
What do you think?
