anyone else finding that ZMODEM file transfers are failing on #OpenBSD -current using lsz? I can do XMODEM transfers via cu(1) but nothing else?! tried picocom and minicom too and they all seem to fail for various reasons.

Edit

I think because I'm on current and vimb is version 3.7.1 but needs to have the following dependencies.

It’s probably just bad luck, but always have such terrible experiences trying to get FreeBSD setup for desktop usage. For servers it’s wonderful, but there is a reason I fall back to OpenBSD for desktop: it just works.

Maybe my monkey brain just isn’t built to deal with FreeBSD 😛

#NetBSD has explicitly banned AI code from being incorporated into the system.

I suspect both #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD will take similar positions, probably for the same reasons (dubious provenance and quality issues, problems with code licensing, etc.).

VIM

Bram Molenaar

human programming

Background

It has come to my attention that my beloved VIM has become invested with LLM AI slop

The lead programmer is not following standard rules of coding anymore.

People have called him many things, but one thing is certain. The man is intelligent in the programming field and knows what he wants.

VIM needs LLM slop!

the programmer screams!

We don't think so!

we roar back!!!

A couple of programmers decided to create a hard fork of vim

VIM

• version V9.1.0 January 2K24
• last commit
• no LLM slop
• Pure Bram Molenaar level human crafted code

If you are categorically against large language model slop this is a project for you to support!

This is a hard Fork meaning that you cannot merge it back with me VIM main source line

Folks, a few more patches for #OpenBSD related to the pledge and unveil changes have just popped.

We are up to patch 18 and 19 for 7.8. Update!

Finished up my post:

https://misc.openbsd.narkive.com/7SGmbxm0/allow-dhcpd-with-pf

Neither dhcpd nor dhclient need any pass rules in pf.
Both tools use bpf to steal the packets before they're checked by pf.

Finally got around to updating my #OpenBSD router (new hardware) pairing it together with an #OpenWRT AP, funnelling everything through a separate #raspberrypi zero running #pihole

Bonus: my Raspberry Pi 400 is now setup with OpenBSD's httpd / relayd - ready to host all of my web projects locally!

That was sure a lot of buzz words...I'll gather my detailed thoughts and breakdown everything into a blog post soon 😄

The Game of Trees Hub is now hosting an #OpenBSD #Git repository mirror:

The repositories available on our mirror contain the same data as already available at the openbsd accounts on Codeberg and Github but we do not rely on these other sites for updates. Repository updates are regularly being pushed to us directly from Canada.

I just wrapped up an interesting call that was originally scheduled for last week but rescheduled for today. The client is looking for a unique setup, and thanks to having an early re-read of the fantastic The Book of PF - 4th Edition, I was able to propose some configurations that had completely slipped my mind. The client is extremely curious, and this will likely lead to a new OpenBSD deployment in an interesting environment.

At the same time, I received an email from a professor at an Italian university whom I had encouraged to extend his lectures to include BSDs. I piqued his curiosity as well and proposed a session specifically on firewalls, focusing on OpenBSD and pf. He will be reading The Book of PF soon and will likely add it to his students' recommended reading list. I'll probably present them, too.

In short - one book, a thousand new possibilities. Infinite thanks to @pitrh for the massive and wonderful work behind it.

Happy #ilovefs day, everyone!

A huge thank you to all the amazing free software community members who build and distribute the software we use everyday.

A special thank you (because I like and use these projects) to the Xfce team, the GrapheneOS developers, the Fedora and openSUSE community, the LibreOffice community, and the wonderful people behind the BSDs.

On another year of awesome free and open source software.

Some background https://nxdomain.no/~peter/yes_the_book_of_pf_4th_ed_is_coming.html @nostarch #bookofpf #openbsd #freebsd #pf #packetfilter #networking #security

Ever since the #OpenBSD iwx Intel #wifi driver received support for MA devices (PCI product ID 0x7e40) in November 2024 there have been complaints about these devices not working properly due to excessive packet loss.

I have never had access to this hardware myself and couldn't debug this problem, until I started working on adding support for newer devices called BZ which showed the same problem.

This problem is now finally fixed in -current.

The fix was a one-liner for a silly oversight type of bug which appears obvious in hindsight. But you don't want to know how many hours of staring at code and making guesses and trying various things it took me to track this down... ​

@osuosl is raising funds to cover critical extra expenses that incurred while moving and modernizing their data center.

They host and maintain not only our gitlab instance, but also a bunch of services for a long list of important free software projects, including @alpinelinux, @armbian, #busybox, @chimera, #Debian, @fdroidorg, @fedora, #ffmpeg, #fosdem, #freedesktoporg, #gcc, @gentoo, @gnome, @inkscape, @kde, #kodi, @LineageOS, the #linux kernel, @llvm, #openbsd, #qemu, @reproducible_builds, @rust, #tor, #vlc and many more:
https://osuosl.org/communities/

Consider donating to them or boosting this post if you want to help them out. Thank you!

All our hosted Git repository servers have been updated to today's new 0.122 release of the Git-compatible #gameoftrees version control system.

This update brings fixes and tweaks for the web frontend. In particular, #OpenSSH host key fingerprints are now prominently displayed where it matters, encouraging users to verify host keys instead of trusting them blindly on first use. See the Game of Trees change log for details: https://gameoftrees.org/releases/changes.html#2026-02-10

We anticipate upcoming support for SHA256 object-format Git repositories, hopefully in the next release (as per https://bsd.network/@op/116030524380288866)

By the way, we still have spare room for more hosted VMs. If you want some no-nonsense, community-driven, minimal #git repository and static website hosting in your life then find us at https://gothub.org/

Our service runs #OpenBSD exclusively but no expertise in BSD is required at all to make use of it. Repositories, user accounts, access rules, commit notifications, and web hosting can be managed by editing a plain-text configuration file stored in a Git repository.
