CIRCLE WITH A DOT

I found fresh commit in #OpenBSD repo. It's adding 802.11ax which means ----> speeeeed And also might mean "sysupgrade -s" and another kernel build for me.https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/f53d362946f91d55d2950e3b4b8cd127e354970a

Since I decided to move my digital life to a new OS - #OpenBSD I thought that maybe I would be eligible for an account on bsd.cafe. @stefano said yes. And here I am.So hello everyone from my new bsd.cafe account.

Pledge changes in 7.9-beta https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260320085305 #openbsd #pledge #79beta #security #development #programming #ports #packages

So, I missed "hw.battery.chargestop" sysctl and some keys (eg. keyboard backlight) on my Asus #OpenBSD install.I spotted new driver for Asus machines in source - "acpiwmi". But not included in default kernel build. Hmmm...On mailing list there was additional acpiwmi patch for chargestop and some other stuff. So I took chargestop logic, patched acpiwmi driver and compiled custom kernel. Works! #OpenBSD kernel compiles in around 3 minutes !Linux 45 minutes. Without AMDGPU stuff.Incredible

For people who have been following my #OpenBSD stories, you know that I have started a new 5-week saga.There might be readers who have no interest in the current m88k saga.I can publish that m88k saga in the next four weeks, and then switch to other stories; or I can interleave them, with one more m88k episode every two weeks, and another completely unrelated story every other week.What would you readers prefer?

I'm this close 🤏 to reinstalling #OpenBSD back onto my Thinkpad. Might be a project for this weekend?

Don't get me wrong: OpenBSD's base utilities are really great! (or they wouldn't be in base), but in this case nginx was just better suited for the job all along.

@brettm I didn’t initialize the first projects that presented this problem, but I assume zig init wasn’t run as root. I honestly don’t remember if I needed root permissions with my later tests—sleep-deprived and shouldn’t be awake right now—but I’ll double-check in a bit.

Three ways to look at the same machine - at the same time: a BIOS VGA console, a 256-color xterm, and a responsive web UI - all connected to the same cell and backup management backend.Which one would you pick?https://netbsd-cells.petermann-digital.de#netbsd #modernretrocomputing #freebsd #openbsd #dragonflybsd

@justine@snac.smithies.me.uk @obj@bsd.cafe i use zsh on my OpenBSD boxes: this is what i came up with: if command -v bat &> /dev/null; then zsh-defer eval $(bat --completion zsh) export BAT_THEME=ansi alias cat="bat -pp" alias bat="bat -p" # colored manpages function man { sh -c "man '$@' | col -bx | \bat -pl man" } # colored -h and --help alias -g -- -h='-h 2>&1 | \bat -pl help' alias -g -- --help='--help 2>&1 | \bat -pl help' # help command function help { sh -c "'$@' --help 2>&1 | \bat -pl help" } fi the if command -v bat bit is nice to have in case bat for whatever reason isn't on your system.

Nothing like a Sunday morning to move all your stuff to #GotHub #OpenBSD https://x61.sh/log/2026/03/14032026191148-gothub.html

ended up moving over to #openbsd on my router from openwrt, this works *incredibly* well with all just utilities that are just... already included in the base systemif anyone's curious, it's an hp T740 thin client with an intel x540-t2 NIC- currently pulling my full gigabit link, got my VLANs set up all nicely and everythingonly had one issue- my unit had shipped with a 64gb EMMC drive which openbsd wasn't able to detect, but after swapping over to a typical sata m.2 everything is working greatsuch a cohesive OS

#TIL how to add swap space easily on #OpenBSD 1) Create a swapfile made of many many 0's, in the size of how large a swapfile you want, so e.g. for 16gb:$ dd if=/dev/zero of=~/.swapfile bs=1m count =16384 2) Add it as swap:# swapctl -a ~/.swapfile3) For great success, check it out to get warm fuzzy feelings:$ swapctl -lDevice 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Priority/dev/sd2b 17065992 0 17065992 0% 0/home/puffy/.swapfile 33554432 0 33554432 0% 0Total 50620424 0 50620424 0%

Look what's landed in the #OpenBSD #Wayland #Ports - @dnkl@treehouse.systems #Fuzzel .App launcher and fuzzy finder for Wayland, inspired by rofi(1) and dmenu(1).https://codeberg.org/OpenBSD/ports/src/commit/e75015d36f450e30f148d99c3e4fd2ccf19138a5/wayland/fuzzel

@hi one hasn’t been announced, but there’s already slop-enabling software in ports like codex and llama-cpp, so the argument that AI would be laughed out of the room carries a bit less weight imo
