       477 words, 3 minutes

A few years ago, I ran OpenBSD 7.4 on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W . It was working quite nice as a DHCP and DNS server. But it froze too often for my linkings and I stopped using it. These days, that particular board is still not referenced on the official OpenBSD arm64 supported hardware list. Still, I gave it a try on OpenBSD 7.8.

My ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD has a French (ISO AZERTY). But it is connected to a dock and I mainly use an external (USB) keyboard with an ANSI US layout.
