Oldest supported machine for NetBSD is VAX 780 from 1978(!!!). One of the first system supporting mmu, 32 bit cpu, virtual memory etc etc
This machine is so slow that it takes a lot of time to generate ssh keys etc. We talking here hours hehe
NetBSD is known to support like 60 architectures - many of them low end embedded systems: so ftp AS A CHOICE (you have other options!) is very smart and easy
Lavapipe is CPU rendering, it doesn't really prove much. But also, Vulkan on BSDs is totally possible and isn't something esoteric, FreeBSD has it.
> Build goal only: This targets compilation and linkage of the Vulkan stack. Runtime GPU acceleration is not available under VirtualBox; the software driver (Lavapipe) is the target.
I don't understand why this would ever be a problem, even without LLM assistance it's something that sounds like a weekend project?
Installation instructions:
That's... a bit unorthodox. FreeBSD has a `fetch`[1] utility for this, I wasn't aware NetBSD puts that in `ftp`[2].Interesting choice. I wonder what led to it.

I expected this to be official from the title but it doesn’t seem to be.
This is a nice project but looks like is either AI written or AI assisted and I haven’t seen mention of that in any of the docs.
It seems to be completely AI-written, probably with the human just generally directing the LLM.
There are already Vulkan components in pkgsrc and wip.
