Ori Bernstein is porting GEFS, the crash-safe, snapshotting, copy-on-write filesystem originally written for 9front, to OpenBSD.

I got the station in a bash script and mpv's the player so when I'm bored I can plop a terminal and play there.

Man, I love mpv. It plays everything I want, online or offline even when I'm on the *BSD's and their website works without js as well. I wish I can hug the devs ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ💕

The #crawlers are pretty annoying, especially when looking at irrelevant stuff digging deeper than necessary. Fortunately, in #OpenBSD using the fail2ban pattern can be applied as well. My #GoT web server got hammered and first I just banned all the found crawler names. However, now, every action they do on gotwebd is remembered with an effort number and if that adds up to 100, the IP is banned. Additonally, connection storms are also banned if they follow certain patterns. #pf, #perl and I am done using only on-board tools.

Why? I didn't want to install #anubis. Not because I don't like it, it is just because I like to do the minimum.

EuroBSDCon is not a traditional conference, but a family gathering. The kind of family you like, the one you choose, the one that always makes you feel at home.

As soon as we landed, we dropped our bags off at the hotel luggage room and rushed straight to the conference venue.

It was fantastic to meet old and new friends again, with that kind of welcome that only BSD conferences can give you.

I've only had the chance to talk to a fraction of the people I'll meet over the next few days, and to me, that's fantastic.

NetBSD. In FreeBSD’s bhyve. On a RK3566.

"Why?” you ask. Because I can.
"Why not OpenBSD?” you also ask. Because I can’t.

Was trying out virtualization on a Radxa Zero 3E. bhyve worked as expected for NetBSD, including networking. OpenBSD gets through the loader and looks like it's about to handoff to the kernel, then reboots. So close.

Hey #FreeBSD folks! 🐡

I recently, as of yesterday, installed FreeBSD on my ThinkPad E14 Gen 4, and will document my journey coming from Debian GNU/Linux over to something that is BSD.

I’ve had some knowledge of FreeBSD from past interactions here on Mastodon, as well as from YouTube and other social media platforms. My ThinkPad also has two ssd drives, so I decided to wipe one of them and install FreeBSD, and using it as my daily driver.

I used to be on kolektiva.social a while back. Not sure how long I’ll stick around on this one either, but I came across bsd.cafe while reading through some FreeBSD documentation and figured I’d join.

Feel free to boost me if you remember me, or not, no worries!

Also, here are some relevant and useful links to check out:

Hi #FreeBSD, how’s development going on the MediaTek MT7921 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) driver? Is there currently any progress toward getting it supported?

#Wifi #Unix #BSD #OpenBSD #Linux #MediaTek #MT7921

So, there are multiple ways I'm aware of at this point (in #OpenBSD) to have some files at `/srv/ftp` for sharing between users (in practice we use `sftp`) while also hosting those files on the local network via `httpd`, and at this point I'm wondering: what's the least janky way to do it?

I'm assuming that a symbolic link from `/var/www/srv/ftp` to `/srv/ftp` will not work within the `/var/www` chroot. I tried hardlinking the directories and apparently you can't do that, so whatever. I could move the files to live in `/var/www/htdocs` and then symlink in the other direction, from `/srv/ftp` to that. And of course, if I want to move a bunch of files and retain permissions, I could make `/srv/www` and have the chroot dir be `/srv`, which would have access across the board, but that has its own smells. There's probably also some kinda mount shenanigans I could do if I could find the important parts of the man page for mount.

Am I missing something? Is there an idiomatic option?

Our Mastodon instance is powered by #OpenBSD. The media storage, however, is powered by #HardenedBSD.

Our Mastodon media is about 1,3TB - including 30 days of remote cache. Adding the storage of our PeerTube instance triples that amount.

Using any other filesystem than ZFS makes no sense whatsoever with storage arrays like this. And for ZFS, HardenedBSD is the most logical choice. The benefits of FreeBSD with added exploit mitigations and other security measures.

Plus, a project that actively advocates and works for human rights!

Toying with a Ryzen 7 5825U machine.

Interestingly, #OpenBSD 7.9 achieves 10 W when IDLE with just powerd enabled, but #FreeBSD 15.1 doesn't go below 13 W with a couple of extra configurations. Trying FreeBSD 16, the better I get is 12W and that's forcing dev.hwpstate_amd.0.desired_performance to the lowest possible value ; which sux in real life. NetBSD goes for 14 W using estd but that doesn't surprise me that much.

From what I see, there're things happening around sys/x86/cpufreq/hwpstate_amd.c

EDIT: after doing the FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p3 install again from scratch and tweaking a few other things, I can achieve 8W at IDLE. Now, that's nice!

EDIT2: while 2x 3.5" SATA disks pluggued in and set to standy, power consumption is kept at 10W. YeePee!

We will see you at #EuroBSDCon 2026 in Brussels!!

29 new VMs were added and 71 VMs were renewed.

We donated €1355 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, €70420 since we started.

Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!

Funnily enough, I was never really into #Debian ... I appreciate the quality of the distro, but... I don't know, too many moving parts, I guess.

I will continue supporting #Slackware I'll look into #Guix and, of course, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD as well as #HardenedBSD .

The line is drawn. It is time to choose your side.

You haven't lived until you've slapped NetBSD on a Nintendo Wii and used it as a reverse proxy to your {Open,Hardened}BSD machines.

Either way, BSD all the way. The penguin shall be lynched tomorrow.

Anyone have any idea why pdftopdf fails in #cups on #OpenBSD? I cannot print anything because the filter chain dies with "pdftopdf" exiting with status 1. Weirdly I do not seem to have pdftopdf installed. On latest snapshot and latest version of cups. Hints?

(I did try removing / cleaning all cups related files; building cups myself... Problem still persists)

Pretty cool update for #httpd on #Openbsd!

You can now set the Security Headers directly inside httpd.conf. No need to work with relayd!

I've updated my guide here: https://httpd.rocks/

Greetings!

About me and this account:

I've had many names over the years but I've decided on lex0de for this incarnation.

I got into computers properly with the Commodore Amiga, classic Macs, MS-DOS, and Windows 3.11. While I was still at primary school I was going to college night classes doing Turbo Pascal, messing around QBASIC and accessing the internet, abusing their printers with UNIX and security manuals.

That turned into a lifelong interest in Unix, operating systems, low-level programming and understanding how computers actually work. I started using FreeBSD around 1999/2000, then OpenBSD not long afterwards.

I was a member of CyberArmy.com, stayed through the CyberArmy.net years as senior stafg until it eventually collapsed, spent time around the demoscene, and was involved with RiSCiSO & a few other groups during my reverse engineering days.

These days I'm still happiest poking at old and new hardware, BSD, retro Unix, DOS, obscure operating systems, OS dev, C, Pascal, Zig, electronics, and anything else that involves getting closer to the machine rather than further away from it.

Away from computers I'm an amateur radio operator, and have a longterm interest in RF, electronics, and building things. I'm also interested in linguistics and languages.

Personal footnote:

I have ADHD, ASD, BPD, and a collection of personality disorder diagnoses. It can make me intense, obsessive about subjects I'm interested in, occasionally socially awkward, and prone to disappearing down rabbit holes for ridiculous amounts of time (or just disappearing!). It also means my communication can sometimes be odd or direct. None of that is intended as an excuse for being an arse, just useful context for how my brain tends to operate - don't want anyone thinking I'm purposely being off with them 🌝

#FreeBSD #OpenBSD #BSD #Unix #RetroComputing #Demoscene #AmateurRadio #Electronics #Programming #Linguistics

# ls /lost+found
Panic

BAD NAUGHTY #OpenBSD!

where's the --harder option to #fsck when we need it?

(the root cause is that #QEMU crashed, but for OpenBSD's fsck to then leave /lost+found in a crash-causing inconsistent state is ... less than ideal)

Going to do more testing over the weekend, but I might have found a ~$4/year VPS that can run #OpenBSD #FreeBSD or #NetBSD

- 512MB RAM
- 5GB SSD
- 1vCPU

Caveats: it’s NAT VPS, so TLS needs to terminate at their edge.

Check out stats hosted here: https://obsd.btxx.org/

You could also go even cheaper if you configured less RAM or storage!

Things the OS authors don't want you to know:

* The #FreeBSD logo is Beastie, because it reminds you to dare, hack, and stop praying.
* The #Linux logo is Tux, because even penguins know what it is like to freeze with amdgpu.
* The #Windows logo is a window, because that is where you throw the PC after the third BSOD.
* The #OpenBSD logo is Puffy, because it’s the only fish that takes security more seriously than being edible.
* The #NetBSD logo is a flag, because if it boots on your hardware, they claim it as territory.
* The #DragonFlyBSD logo is a dragonfly, because every time you explain HAMMER2, people suddenly find somewhere else to be.
* The #macOS logo is an Apple, because one bite costs 999$, no 1999$, no 4999$. They soldered the RAM to keep the worms out.
* The #ChromeOS logo is #chrome because the operating system is just the browser admitting it won.

Breaking! 🚨 🎉 Ayer quedó finalmente instalado en el rack de servidores de Undernet el equipo dedicado a la comunidad Tilde-UnderNET. Se trata de un proyecto Pubnix (servidor Unix de acceso público) corriendo sobre OpenBSD 7.9 con servicios legacy como IRC, finger, FTP, Usenet, Gopher y Gemini. La idea es fomentar el intercambio de ideas, código y experiencias en un entorno donde se privilegia el uso de la terminal de texto plano. No tenemos claro si es la primera iniciativa de este estilo en Uruguay (o por lo menos activa) y nos motiva mucho inaugurar nuestro propio rincón nerd. Todavía quedan un par de cosas por pulir, pero ya tenemos varios servicios online y funcionando. Les dejo algunas capturas. Si quieren solicitar una cuenta pueden hacerlo enviando un correo a contacto@undernet.uy con las razones para unirse, un username de login y una llave pública SSH. Todavía estamos discutiendo, proponiendo cosas y tirando ideas.
