  • src

    Read-only git conversion of OpenBSD's official CVS src repository. Pull requests not accepted - send diffs to the tech@ mailing list.

  • Between 7.0 and 7.1 the kernel was changed to run the CPU at the highest speed when on mains power, sometimes this is fine, sometimes it causes issues.

  • ports

    Read-only git conversion of OpenBSD's official cvs ports repository. Pull requests not accepted - send diffs to the ports@ mailing list.

  • Some people are working around this by using obsdfreqd, some by patching sys/kern/sched_bsd.c (change if (hw_power) to if (0 && hw_power)), some by simply setting to a lower speed (sysctl hw.perfpolicy=manual and hw.setperf=99 might be enough as this disables turbo mode found on some CPUs).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
