Sometimes I look at the world out there and I just want to crawl into an #OpenBSD base installation and only use ftp and mail to interact with the world outside.

Will be going on a little trip soon, so just updated #OpenBSD to 7.7 on my little run-around: https://www.henryleach.com/2023/10/installing-openbsd-on-a-hp-stream-11-laptop/

Back from a busy work trip. Time to upgrade IPng's bastion servers to OpenBSD 7.7 - of course in one go and with zero drama.

I've been tracking OpenBSD since it merged KAME in 2.6 - that was 1999 or 2000, which makes this a 25 year winning streak.

Displaying the Mastodon timeline with #nanotodon running on #OpenBSD/luna88k (MC88100@33MHz)

#nanotodon on #OpenBSD/luna88k で -DUSE_SIXEL を有効にする時のメモ:
・CFLAGS に -DSTBI_NO_THREAD_LOCALS を追加すること
・$HOME/.cache/nanotodon/ 以下のファイルはエンディアン依存なので amd64 等とは共用しないこと

For science, fun and profit, I set up a #WireGuard mesh network for my #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #RockyLinux and #Kubernetes #homelab:

There's also a mesh generator, which I wrote in #Ruby.

Breaking News: ASUS laptops come with a super-secret button to crank up the fan from "kitten purr" to "747 takeoff." But don't get too excited, #OpenBSD users—time to write your own driver! Because who needs convenience when you can DIY your cooling system?

Some N150 tests:
#FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE installs and runs. Wifi is detected (not tested, yet) but X doesn't seem to start. Will investigate.
#OpenBSD 7.7 installs and runs, X runs. I'm trying with IceWM and it's ok. I'm trying to install KDE Plasma. Wifi doesn't seem to be detected.

kqueue(2) in #OpenBSD -current now supports EVFILT_USER filters.

This has been a long wishlisted feature for people porting multithreaded applications.

visa@ modified src/*: kqueue: Implement EVFILT_USER

Implement EVFILT_USER in kqueue(2)/kevent(2). This allows user-triggerable events with plain kevent(2). EVFILT_USER originally appeared in FreeBSD but is now available also in DragonFly BSD, NetBSD, and macOS, and probably others.

The maximum number of user events is limited per process.
The limit (1024) is hard-coded at the moment.

be wary of blaming the tool when the real tool may have just been yourself
