Soekris was a small i386/amd64 computer on
a rackmountable or desktop small case. They were driven out of business by
the competition in Asia and what I think was a business mistake. Their long
awaited products never left the drawing board last. I would have bought it
but they scrapped it.
This is my soekris at home but it uses more connections than the one you see.
In fact I utilize 1 external NIC card fully with 1 connection on the second
card.
Goodbye Soekris rest in peace! It was probably the last Made in the USA
computer that I bought, pre-snowden. For all those other manufacturers
that are waiting on business, we want 10-Gigabit ports! Without them we can't
justify buying more equipment. I also want under 20 watts power consumption
on top of that.

Rumours has it that the state-run TV and Radio stations are wanting to increase
the GEZ tax. Now the question abounds to.. why do we even need more than one
state run TV station? As the "official" voice of the state we don't need two!
In german these state run behemoths are called "Oeffentlich-Rechtliche Sender".
Germany, you're not giving choice, you're milking ordinary citizens dry with
GEZ taxes! Let there be only 1 TV and 1 Radio station that is from the
government. Because even if we switch channels the message coming from the
government will always be the same. There is no difference! Let some die!
And we welcome the digitalization of the state-run TV station and radio.

Before a nation decides to hook everyone to an ID card, I'd like to remind
them that not everyone runs windows. And it is against our democratic right
to be forced to use windows. No, I don't run a Macintosh at all times either.
My OS (betriebsystem) is OpenBSD. If you'd like me to run your ID card, I
expect a fully open sourced driver to my OS. The driver has to satisfy the
OpenBSD developer community in order to be accepted into the base kernel
system. No, it isn't linux and it's not linux compatible! There is a lot of
OS's other than Windows and Macintosh, AND I'm afraid you'll have to satisfy
all instances if you want 100% coverage. This means jobs for developers.
It can be done. Please make it so!

Well I got the Wacom. I unwrapped it... plugged it in. and I see this in my
dmesg:
uhidev3 at uhub0 port 8 configuration 1 interface 2 "Wacom Co.,Ltd. Intuos PS" \
rev 2.00/1.00 addr 5
uhidev3: iclass 3/1, 1 report id
ums1 at uhidev3 reportid 1: 5 buttons
wsmouse2 at ums1 mux 0
I didn't work right away, I first had to restart X11 with control-alt-backspace.
Then it really worked! I fired up gimp and made 2 doodle drawings. This is
the second drawing I made with it on OpenBSD and gimp:
I'm very satisfied! Thank you OpenBSD and thank you to the author of the
uwacom(4) driver Frank Groeneveld! I'll be making more detailed illustrations
of Goldflipper in the time to come.
