| How to install OpenBSD with bhyve-vm on SmartOS (20190424): | |
| tl;dr: | |
| Create a bhyve vm with an empty disk, where you put an install image with dd afterwards. | |
| "bhyve_extra_opts": "-w" | |
| "bootrom": "uefi" | |
| "vcpus": 1 (is needed too, some say..) | |
| Change to serial console when booting the install image | |

| Eye care: prevent PWM and or temporal dithering | |
| waydabber edited this page on Oct 7 · 13 revisions | |
| Two common issues with computer monitors that cause eye strain for people who are sensitive to high frequency flickering are the following: | |
| PWM is a technique (Pulse Width Modulation) used in some displays to control brightness or achieve a dimming effect. It involves rapidly turning the screen's LED backlight (or for OLED screens, pixels) on and off at a specific high frequency, creating the illusion of different brightness levels. | |
| Temporal dithering is a technique to produce more colors than what a display's panel (or display connection) can support (for example showing colors with 10 bit color depth - "billions of colors" - on an 8 bit - "millions of colors" - panel). When the display does not have the capability to show the full color depth, it will emulate missing colors by rapidly change between two adjacent color levels thus creating a middle ground. | |
| BetterDisplay has some capabilities to help with these |

Hetzner no longer offers direct install of FreeBSD, but we can do it ourselves. Here is how :)
Boot the hetzner server in Hetnzer Debain based rescue mode. ssh into it. then:
wget https://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/iso/14/amd64/mfsbsd-14.0-RELEASE-amd64.iso

| #!/bin/sh | |
| # https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/ | |
| # Make sure system is updated | |
| apt -y update | |
| apt -y upgrade | |
| # Add Docker's official GPG key |
