Working around dragons with the Lemote Yeeloong laptop and OpenBSD

> True enlightment only comes from a truly free computing experience, probably! And while there is no nerd who lacks an opinion on Richard Stallman personally, likewise let none claim he does not practice what he preaches. Why, the very laptop in front of him was selected deliberately because it can operate with no binary blobs and no firmware you couldn't examine or replace with your own, and runs his choice of fully libre operating systems. The fact it has a Chinese MIPS64 derivative in it was undoubtedly just more compound on the heat spreader.

OT (off topic) from OpenBSD, lists unsupported 13.5 as the last supported release of FreeBSD for MIPS, but there's no mention of MIPS in FreeBSD 13.5 Hardware Notes.
