I found on my Linux or Android systems, magnitudes more power can be saved by minimizing I/O consumption, like "data saver." This brings down by magnitudes those CPU wakeup interrupts. I also found increasing the time between flushing the write data to storage helps too. A quiet I/O bus is a power saving I/O bus. Displaying seconds uses orders of magnitude less power than wifi or cell phone modem wakeups.

Fun fact: a screenshot of Super #Mario Bros (256×224×6bpp=43008 bytes) is larger than the game itself (40960 bytes).
This is definitely not true of later NES titles, the largest of which (Kirby's Adventure) is a staggering 1048576 bytes.
Nor is it true of the first SNES Mario game, Super Mario World, whose screenshots are only slightly larger at 256×224×8bpp=57344 bytes but the game itself is 524288 bytes.

I booted and installed #FreeBSD first using a USB flash drive made by dd and the standard memstick img. I say its is not important because you aim is to install the system, which should not matter which media you use. In my case I did not even use the standard installed for this because I want to customize some partition sizes (see link below for details from a FreeBSD wiki page I found useful examples). I will laugh out loud if only I am capable of making the elitist statement about #BSD stuff since I only started to try #FreeBSD for not too long and I knew almost nothing about system development. To you my friend, patiently read the tutorials posted by @vermaden@bsd.cafe and make plans about the steps you will have to take, try in a VM if you are not sure. The main question is how to prepare a partition for ZFS not a disk, and then install system on it, not about which install media you use.

A paradox of Schrödinger’s paradox
Erwin Schrödinger (Austria-Ireland. 1887-1966), who seems to have been not very fond of house cats, proposed a theoretical exercise for quantum physics.
The approach is simple, although its implications are very complex. A cat has been placed inside a box. The box has a device that, with no definite time, releases a sort of lethal mechanism and the cat will die. Since the box is airtight, it is not known whether the cat is still alive or has already perished. Once the box is opened, one possibility or the other is proven. The previous moment, when we do not know if it is alive or dead, suggests that there are two worlds or two simultaneous universes. In one the cat is already dead, in the other it is still alive. A mortal mechanism activated and not activated; a cat alive and dead at the same time; a superposition of states according to quantum physics.
Let’s leave aside, for now, the references to comic book multiverses and the consequences in quantum physics. Let us also leave aside Don Schördinger’s animosity towards cats, and that he obviously did not know much about those felines (anyone who has dealt with them knows that they would not let themselves be caught, much less allow themselves to be locked up, without protesting and without defending themselves -even more so if it is a… cat-dog-). Let’s also not take too much notice that the cat is imprisoned and condemned to death, unless someone sees fit to open the box when the lethal mechanism has not been activated, and the cat jumps out and frees itself from the prison.
This theoretical exercise is supposed to be a basis for showing that worlds in several universes are possible, that is, in a multiverse (although it is also to show that the laws of quantum physics do not apply in everyday life).
As far as my limited knowledge of comics allows me, I understand that, in those diverse worlds, the individual still prevails, but in different versions. In one world, Sheldon Cooper (TV series “The Big Bang Theory”), is a scientist with social problems. In another, he is an irredeemable womanizer. In another, he is a “popular” judge in Mexico’s judicial system (oh, I know, my perversity is sublime).
And this digression that, I hope, is perplexing, comes to the topic, or point supposedly that even with the imaginative capacity to raise the simultaneous existence of the living cat and the dead cat, the possibility (or the universe) of there being one or several cats that refuse to enter the box is not raised. And perhaps with the aggravating factor that the supposed cat is actually a cat-dog.
In pointing out some possibilities, others are omitted.
When talking about the capitalist system, the different proposals refer to what they can do to improve the conditions of the cat locked in the trap, to lengthen its life (or its chances of life), or to “humanize” the lethal device.
It is, shall we say, what progressivism is all about. Definition of progressivism? Well, those who are leftists until the eve of taking office and having a position, office, pay, well, then. Then they stop being leftist, they become the establishment, and disguise their pragmatism (which leads them to ally and join their enemies of the eve -and to distance themselves from their social past-), as “political realism.” It is, then, a capital-friendly left. That is to say, a “cool”, pretty, demure and blushing right wing.
In this case, progressivism promises, on the eve of the event, to free the cat from its prison. Then, because he cannot or will not do it, he “changes” his proposal: “I will make you more comfortable”; “I will get better conditions for your death”; “I will fight so that the lethal mechanism does not activate too quickly.” Or, he may instead urge the prisoner to hang on, since he has a 50% chance of temporarily surviving. Imprisoned, yes, but alive.
-*-
The capitalist system is that box. Inside it, multitudes wait, without knowing it, for the murderous mechanism to be activated. Wars, famines, “natural” catastrophes, violent assaults, assassinations, governmental arbitrariness, destructions that will have to solve the enigma: “to live or to die.”
In the box there are those who have the crime of being a woman, boy or girl, young, old, other, dark-skinned, native, with a foreign language in their own land, and so on. No matter their condition, gender, race, ideology, religion, manner, stature, physical complexion: that person is inside the box and is subject to those deadly laws.
Not only without the possibility of getting out, but also without even imagining that another world exists out there.
The option to delay death or improve the conditions of condemnation is submission and acceptance to be part of the showcase of “weird things” that the system exhibits for its own amusement. Woman, Non-binary person, Native, Race, Neighborhood, Nationality, every “oddity” has its place in the curiosity store if it behaves “well.” If not, well, the “invisible hand of the market” will pull the exterminating lever.
Example: the crime of being born, growing up and fighting in Palestinian lands is not to accept being part of the showcase of capital. And to resist and rebel against the machine. The machine wants a recreational center in Gaza and Palestinian civilization is in its way, the Palestinian people are fighting for a land to live in.
Palestine is the best example of the terminal crisis of the so called “Nation States” and their governments. They do not command, they only obey at convenience. They are incapable of presenting an independent, dignified and consistent foreign policy.
And in the ongoing mass murder, the complicity and neglect of the governments of the planet (with a few exceptions), is pathetic. The police of the different European and American governments repressing the demonstrations for the cessation of the genocide in Palestine, are the best oratory about Western “humanism”.
In the world above, European governments are the idle and useless court of the reigning king, Russia and China are the counts and dukes conspiring for regicide, and offering an alternate monarch. The rest of the national governments in the world, except for those who have clearly spoken out against it, are the busy pages, stressed by the continuous demands and harassments of the royal family.
Who are those that contemplate, operate, have fun and make bets on what happens in the box? The big financial, commercial, industrial and, now, digital and aerospace capital.
The governments of the world, for the most part, are just the ticket-takers of the bets, the “brokers” on the stock exchanges where the wars are always up, and life below… down. And, as the Mileis of the world are and will be, they are the ones who are sent to buy and serve the wine that will preside over the monarchic banquets (the chainsaw is an autochthonous detail).
-*-
However, there are those who consider another possibility: not to enter the box or to get out of it.
Moreover, there are those who question the box itself, its eternal and omnipotent existence; and its claim to be the only universe that tolerates the existence, within itself, of diversity, of several universes or multiverses… domesticated.
Those people who are posing that are what we Zapatistas call “resistance and rebellion.” Resistance to enter the box or, if you are inside, Rebellion to fight to get out.
Resistance and Rebellion that proposes the destruction of the box, of the logic that created it and of the belief that “something else” is not possible.
From the mountains of the Mexican Southeast.

Resistance in Gaza: Command Post Struck, Tanks Destroyed
At least five Zionist soldiers were wounded in three separate incidents in the Gaza Strip, occupation newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Saturday. A “security incident” in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, also prompted an emergency aerial evacuation of wounded personnel.
The Palestinian Resistance launched a series of coordinated attacks against Zionist occupation forces across the Gaza Strip, delivering yet another blow to the military amid the ongoing genocidal war.
Al-Qassam targets C2 position, snipes soldier
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its fighters targeted a Zionist command-and-control post east of al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City with heavy mortar fire. In a separate operation in Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, a Resistance sniper struck a Zionist soldier with a fatal shot.Al-Quds Brigades targets forces across Gaza
Simultaneously, al-Quds Brigades—the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)—confirmed multiple successful operations targeting armored vehicles. The group detonated a pre-planted anti-tank explosive device east of al-Tuffah, destroying a Merkava tank during its incursion.
Another explosive device was used to destroy a tank east of al-Zaytoun neighborhood. Fighters returning from the operation reported direct hits and confirmed the tank was neutralized.
Earlier in the day, al-Quds Brigades said its fighters struck a military vehicle along the Kissufim supply route northeast of Khan Younis using a pre-planted improvised explosive device (IED). Additionally, a barrel-shaped explosive device destroyed another military vehicle in the Sheikh Nasser area east of Khan Younis.
Occupation troops were also targeted with mortar fire on Jabal al-Sawrani, east of al-Tuffah, where occupation forces have been massing in recent days.

Denver is not unlike a prison. Its inhabitants, too, have been sent there “to do time.” That which makes the position of the prisoner preferable, is the consolation that the State will feed him and that some day his time will expire. The majority of Denverites have no such cheerful outlook. Although arriving there with hopes of a speedy return, it’s usually imprisonment for life.

Kenyan Communist Revolutionary, Julia Njoki, Murdered in Police Custody
Communist revolutionay Julia Njoki was murdered by police in a cell in the Nanyuki police station, a city in central Kenya. Julia Njoki was kept in detention because she was unable to pay the deposit of 50,000 shillings decided by a Kenyan court. She died following multiple head injuries.
Her death comes in the context of a huge uprising against the right wing government.
The death toll from the uprising in Kenya has surged to over 30 people,with at least 107 others wounded during the nationwide marches.
The marches saw clashes erupt between protesters and police in the capital, Nairobi, as well as the city of Eldoret, with the KNCHR accusing the police of cooperating with armed gangs, who were armed with machetes and spears, in the wake of the violence.
There was widespread destruction of property in the uprising as the privatization of the country drives poverty and resistance.

Getting a bit tired of that whole "Emulation/FPGA/Reproduction is not real retro" gatekeeping to be honest. Let peeps have fun the way they want to have fun. It doesn’t matter what YOU think about it.
I like repairing old hardware, don’t care as much about new retro stuff but many do & that’s ok. ☮️
I have a classic C64 and an Ultimate 64. I have a classic ZX Spectrum and a ZX Spectrum Next.
You know what? I love all my machines, and wouldn't want to give away any of them. When I'm in a retro mood, I prefer the classic machines. But to be honest, the modern FPGA machines are just easier to handle. (And they have HDMI connectors 😆 )
I consider retro computing the umbrella term for newer stuff recreating the original stuff and also the original stuff as well (that one I place in a vintage computing subcategory). Both are valid, but have key differences:
#retroComputing: fun experiences.
#vintageComputing: fun-strating (fun+frustrating) experiences. Also things go boom more.
It's all good to me. Newer stuff has the advantage of not having RIFAs 😀
