I've never used #OpenBSD's rdomain(4) feature in anger before but I just configured it to ensure all traffic from a specific VLAN exits via a WireGuard tunnel. It's a really elegant solution and foolproof for those cases where you don't ever want traffic exiting via any other route (eg, if the tunnel interface is destroyed).
https://man.openbsd.org/rdomain.4
Not the same as my setup but @solene has a useful guide - https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2021-10-09-openbsd-wireguard-exit.html
httpd(8) gains support for custom HTTP headers https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260725103657 #openbsd #httpd #customheaders #securityheaders #webserver #security #libresoftware #freesoftware
I continue to be appalled at the flagrant violation of all that is decent and good about modern software by those #BSD reprobates. This time it is #OpenBSD. The upgrade from 7.8 to 7.9 took two commands (`sysupgrade -R 7.9` and `pkg_add -Uu`) and "just worked".
Damnit stuff is meant to break! I'm meant to then have a fun afternoon reading the source code and picking the boot sector apart with tweezers so I can fix it! But no. No fun for me. The developers hate me.
Hanser Fachbuch bringt im Jahr 2026 ein neues Buch (!) zu BSD (!) raus: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD.

So July 2026 is my 25th anniversary of running OpenBSD as my Desktop operating system, and my preferred OS in general, from 2.9 to 7,9 50 releases, and it keeps getting better!

Some journeys don't end where you expect them to. Sometimes they bring you right back to where everything began, only with a lot more experience and a much better ecosystem waiting for you.
That's exactly what is happening with BoxyBSD!
In my (longer) blog post I cover my circuit, where I moved from bhyve to Proxmox, developed many tools for Proxmox and now moved back to FreeBSD with bhyve and Sylve.

On 10 March 2021, I had only just fallen asleep when my phone started buzzing. Then another notification, and another. In a matter of minutes, 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. And not the cloud-computing kind.
Most of them were physically going up in a column of smoke in Strasbourg.
My wife looked at me and asked if I wanted a coffee. I nodded. It was going to be a very long day.
At EuroBSDCon 2026, I won't be giving a theoretical lecture on high availability. Instead, I’m going to tell the raw story of that night: the emergency recovery, the architectural choices that actually saved us, and the ones that crumbled under pressure (because we rarely talk about what fails).
Most of all, I’ll explain why that night changed my perspective, and why I’ve come to see BSD systems not just as operating systems, but as essential, practical tools for building simpler, more resilient infrastructure.
The official schedule is now live. If you want to hear a real-world post-mortem, join me on Saturday, 12 Sept at 11:15 (Room D.0.02).

We really appreciate the work done on on the TLS settings in relayd(8) and httpd(8).
It makes it even easier to get a tried and tested secure connection to your favorite OS and service!
"Both relayd(8) and httpd(8) now have the "secure" list of allowed crypto methods for HTTPS, which include TLSv1.3 and the TLSv1.2 AEAD cipher suites.
The previous list was "HIGH:!aNULL" which contain non-perfect-forward-security methods and this change may cause old clients to not be able to connect."

Trying to organize all my #OpenBSD guides/tutorials into a single place (mostly for my future self)
(Also being served by my local HP T630 running OpenBSD as a bonus 😜)
Amazing… just solved* a problem on my #OpenBSD desktop thanks to a tiny program posted to a mailing list back in 12002: https://marc.info/?l=netbsd-users&m=103719000328428&w=2
The layers of awesomeness here:
• the code is tiny enough to know it contains no nasties
• it compiles without any changes
• it still does the job it was programmed for
• it works around the problem I have today (xenodm crashes on resume)
• the author wrote it to work around the same problem
• 23½ years ago!
I finally published the CWM configuration I use on Slackware-current as a practical example of that approach.
The repository keeps CWM focused on window management, while sxhkd, small shell scripts, and shared .xinitrc components provide a portable desktop workflow that can be reused across different WMs.

I particularly liked this sentence:
"cwm is the only one amongst the minimalist window managers that has managed to make me think the least."
Whether you agree or not, it's an interesting way to think about window managers—not in terms of features, but in terms of cognitive load.
Worth the two-minute read.

@ruri NetBSD is such beautiful operating system, just like her siblings; FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
But as far as I know, Slackware is also such fine and beautiful operating system too. It is very rare to find such great Linux-based OS nowadays.
I am curious, is there something missing from Slackware which made you switch to NetBSD?
