Hallo Benny!

 BP> we today are limited to 7 bit with multiple problems to solve

Speak for yourself.  This was never an issue that I was ever aware of.  What was an issue way back when, is silly fidonet sysops who got suckered into thinking that CP437 is higher/upper ascii.  There never was any 8 bit characters in ascii and I doubt there ever will be.

 BP> oh never mind got a new kernel....

kv-5.8.13 has serious usb issues.  As of today my "stable" boot is using kv-5.4.69.  No penguins with intel graphics but everything else seems to be working including i915drmfb.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
