BSD under AMD APUs

Looks like the BSD full support -eg incl accelator -for AMD GFX is stalled around the Northern Islands / Cayman (2010).

Well, looks like the development is a bit slow, so I am not expecting support for Kaveri (R5 / R7 GFX) before 2019....

In the meanwhile Dragonfly BSD works like a fucking charm with my A8-7600!! Full effin accelator, glxgears show an average of 4400 fps !! (about 4030fps average under Ubuntu Mate, about 4700fps under OpenSUSE Tumbleweed). Not only the darn thing works fantastic, not at all playing with the rc.conf, just the users need to be on video group.

cheers to Dragonfly BSD dev's , unfortunatelly it won't be my main BSD system, there is no support for ntfs-3g  (just read-only NTFS) as fuse (the Filesystem in Userspace not the ZX emulator) is missing from the packages and also I need encFS (fuse based) too, maybe next time.

emacs org-mode to OPML

Just I wanted to export my emacs org-mode notes -its like a database in fact!- to OPML, there are some python scripts/addons  like org-opml and that, its the same thing anyway, somewhat outdated/abandoned/buggy shit, the only program that can do this is the Pandoc  -effin epic multidoc converter I have to say- not only can convert org-mode .org to .opml even to epub !! RECOMMENDED!

festival TTS under openSUSE

I am curious who is/are the fucking moron that packaged/compiled the festival TTS , using wrong hardcoded lib PATH, on the openSUSE!
