Can't find the source, but I remember reading a secondhand tale from early 2010s that sets at a CTF convention - a NetBSD/Dreamcast unit becomes the last one standing in it, for no one bothered to `uname -a` on it, and could not figure out why every binary payloads would just segfault. Probably cannot happen today with the likelihood of ARM and RISC-V machines in there...

This is delightful. I wonder if anyone there could have done anything if they had known what they were dealing with.
