Another WW2 bomb found in #Freiburg this evening. Seems they'll begin to try defusing it soon.

Highlights include massive improvement in support for #armv7/#arm64 platforms, #vmm virtualization on #amd64/#i386 platforms, #wifi (including roaming), more of the network stack is unlocked, and no artificial limits in #IPv6 autoconfiguration.

Source media here: https://winworldpc.com/product/att-system-v-unix/2-x I used Bochs as a middleman basically just to fake having a floppy drive and write directly to a CF card on an IDE adapter. It was easier than finding disks and a working floppy drive.
