openbsd

I've still got 9 days holiday to take or lose them. So next week It's going to be me and #OpenBSD . Yeah that's right I really know how to chill and that'll leave me 4 days left.

Hypothetical question. If you were to donate to #OpenBSD would you be better to donate directly to the OpenBSD project or to the OpenBSD Foundation ? Or possibly either as it really doesn't matter ?

#OpenBSD folk that use Xterm I have a strange problem that when i highlight text say from the output of fastfetch and then paste it I get weird extras on the end , sometimes with what looks like font names that I don't use.

I pasted my laptops model number and it showed up as this 20Y1000SUKp-_g^O^C when it should have been just what I highlighted 20Y1000SUK
This is supposed to be /usr/X11R6 when pasted shows as /usr/X11R6Lohit Tamil

Hello from #OpenBSD!

#RunBSD
#GottaTryThemAll
#INeedMoreThinkpadsLOL

A question for those who run #OpenBSD servers in their #HomeLab . How many services do you serve on one physical server and what ?

Any recommendations for a pcie raid 1 card that has minimum two 6Gb sata ports not sas and it has to be #OpenBSD compatible ?
Bonus if it allows hot swapping too.

Still trawling through eBay to find a sas/sata raid card in pcie format that i could use on #OpenBSD with 2 x sata ssd drives ?
I'm thinking of turning the Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower into a server for things like web, cgit/git, syncthing and radicale plus possibly my snac instance ? It has 32Gb ram plus a 1Tb nvme which would house the os and the raid would be for data. Tell me I'm mad. 🙄
Help !
#HomeLab

Wow ! Today I learned that #OpenBSD now has #Wayback in it's ports.

Wayback is a X11 compatibility layer which allows for running full X11
desktop environments using Wayland components. It is essentially a
stub compositor which provides just enough Wayland capabilities to
host a rootful Xwayland server.

https://openports.pl/path/wayland/wayback

So as you know I'm looking at repurposing an old Dell Optiplex 3080 tower as an #OpenBSD server. It's already got 32GB ram and a 1Tb NVME drive. I was thinking about adding some spinning rust for the data drive but I'm unsure whether to just add one hard drive as I'll be doing regular backups to NAS anyway. Or should I spend more purchasing two of the same drives for my usual RAID 1 setup like I did with my #FreeBSD server Beastie ?
Was looking at ways saving some £££ but maybe it's not a good idea ? It would eventually be hosting the following if possible. Snac instance, static website, git with cgit, Radicale, Syncthing and maybe a few more much much later.
#Homelab

OK So I'm interested to find out what all those cool folk running #OpenBSD at home as servers are using hardware wise. Don't worry there is nothing to be ashamed of here as I'm really excited and interested to hear from folk recycling equipment. What CPU, RAM do you have? Also do you have a separate boot and data disks ? How big are they and are they raid or not? How many services are you running on that hardware? #RunBSD

Does anyone manage to use the #keyboard media controls in #FreeBSD #Xorg? I have a DasKeyboard with a volume jog that works out of the box on #OpenBSD.

The events seems to be working using xev tester. It regognizes the RaiseVolume and LowerVolume events.

Not sure where to actually start looking for a solution.

#RunBSD

Tomorrow I will fly to #Ireland, the first time in five years. I plan to take my #OpenBSD laptop and not much else. I might write some Go. I will avoid social media, etc. And in two weeks, I will be back in #Brazil, God willing.

See you all 👋

Hoje eu aprendi que, com OpenSSH, basta um mero ssh -D 9999 -N destino — ou com autossh se quiser retomar automaticamente a conexão que cair — para poder usar a porta local (9999 no exemplo) como SOCKS proxy saindo pela máquina destino especificada!

Vivendo e aprendendo, temos que tirar o chapéu também para o pessoal do #OpenBSD que presenteia o mundo ao desenvolver essa maravilha.

Finally tried #NetBSD 10.1 RELEASE baremetal on my #ThinkPad #T470s. Good news is most things seem to work out of box: WiFi, touchpad, i915 drived video card. Bad news is, suspend/wakeup (S3) not working. It appears suspend worked well since after issuing sysctl -w hw.acpi.sleep.state=3 the laptop went to sleep with blinking power led, fan stops. However, at wakeup keyboard just stops responding, even swtiching tty with Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys. WiFi usually wakes up just fine since I gain ssh session back shortly after wakeups. I will conclude a major issue for a system if suspend/wakeup won't work for a laptop. I simply cannot imagine having to poweroff a laptop every day before going to bed. It is kinda a sueprise to me since I assume ThinkPad laptops usually get along well with #BSD and #Linux systems.

FYI, S3 suspend/wakeup works flawlessly with #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD on this laptop without any hack.

Ever messed up an update? We got you covered! Simply restore your Snapshot!

You can now also manage (create, delete, restore) a snapshot of your Box! If you ever messed up your application, OS update or anything else - simply go back to your last snapshot and try again! This way, you can test and learn #BSD even better and easier!

Question for folk that use #OpenBSD in their home labs or rather several. ;)

I've got this idea to spin up OpenBSD on an i5-10505 based PC with 32Gb ram and I want to run the following services which are currently hosted on my FreeBSD server here using Bastille jails for each service.

I have a reverse proxy, nginx for web, git and cgit in another, Syncthing, Radicale. So 5 jails in total. The questions I have are would you try run all of those on base OpenBSD or use vmm for each like I do with bastille ?
Also how would #Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??

The FreeBSD server has a i7-4790 (8) @ 3.60 GHz with 16Gb ram
The OpenBSD machine has a i5-10505 (6) @ 3.2 - 4.6 GHz with 32Gb ram.

Don't ask me why I'm considering this please. #RunBSD

Have you ever wanted to have Theo de Raadt give you his fortune in your GNU Emacs session? I made a package some time ago which serves exactly this purpose. You can find the package, as well as it's history on Codeberg with the following link. It is currently my only Emacs package, but I plan to make more when it becomes useful to.

https://codeberg.org/amadaluzia/theo.el

Appending to the history after the package was published onto Codeberg, I ended up in a call where me and @izder456 were talking about theo.el. I believe in that call, it was also reposted in the OpenBSD room on Matrix. I also was suggested to put it on MELPA, so that is exactly what I did.

After creating the pull request and fixing all of the issues that stopped it from being pushed into MELPA, it couldn't make it on as it was a pretty repetitive package, and there were about 5 other `fortune`-esque packages with much more customisability. However, I now have a better package because of MELPA's guidelines, and I believe that I can still give attention to the package, even if not through MELPA.

That's why I wanted to talk about it here, because maybe you are interested in having a fortune package for your GNU Emacs. If so, and assuming you have straight.el, you can simply copy the following snippet into your init.el. After that, you should have it installed.

https://gist.github.com/amadaluzia/be96e325326a9d66619543af410e4bf4

Let me know how the package goes for you. I would love to improve the GNU Emacs ecosystem further, as a GNU Emacs user.

#ksh folks, I'm wondering as a currently #oksh user would I be better off running #ksh-devel aka ksh 93u+m ? If so what advantages would I get or possibly lose ? I see it's available on both #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD
