Typst on OpenBSD

For those who missed last night’s updates, I’m thrilled to announce that @h3artbl33d and I will be co-presenting a talk at #EuroBSDCon: Liberating the Social Web Using #BSD.

We’ll be sharing our experiences and technical decisions along the way.

I’ll be focusing on the BSD Cafe - its services, the story behind it, and most importantly, the human and motivational factors that make this community so special.

Always remember: #OwnYourData !

Stay tuned for more updates!

#BSDCafe #EuroBSDCon25 #EuroBSDCon2025 #EBC25 #RunBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #OpenBSD

@justine Maybe it was just a weird dream, but didn't you have #OpenBSD running #maomaowm? Or was it just in #FreeBSD? If its in OpenBSD, do you have some documentation? :)

Confirmed: There will be a full day PF tutorial "Network Management with the OpenBSD Packet Filter Toolset" at #eurobsdcon 2025 in #zagreb.

Details to emerge via https://2025.eurobsdcon.org/, and expect more goodies to be announced!

The BSDCan 2025 video's have been posted!

14 new VMs were added and 42 VMs were renewed.

We donated €770 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, €53665 (!!) since we started.

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

Stay safe, healthy & sane!

I have a very dull day tomorrow of waiting around for people to do things. To prevent me from dying of bored, please point me at small simple bugs that need fixing in your #C, #shell, #rust or #perl projects. Already on the list:

* fix MANPAGER on #OpenBSD, probably with a small shell script;
* code review for Data::Money (hi @manwar!);
* investigate a "fix" that got merged into Test::Most but made all the tests fail

Errata patches for X11 server and kernel pledge(2) have been released
for OpenBSD 7.6 and 7.7.

Binary updates for the amd64, arm64 and i386 platform are available
via the syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the

Is there a way to dual boot #openbsd and #freebsd to install both on the same drive?

I picked up a cheap little second hand laptop today that I want to turn into my 'travel' laptop, after browsers have become unusable on the old one (only 2GB RAM).

Now I have two hard choices:
- What should it be called?
- Which OS to install?

@stefano @h3artbl33d @ltning @sborrill yeah I run Dovecot on my #OpenBSD mail server (with #opensmtpd of course). Will be dreading the 2.4 "upgrade" unless I can find something better.

Please tell me that you already know that the BSD now podcast exists. Also tell me that you have listened to at least a part, of one of the beautiful BSD podcasts

When I was not a part of the FediVerse, at least not the active part, because I've had my accounts for a long time, I knew about BSD podcasts but I never seeked one actively.

However you have no excuse, because you not only run one of the flavors of BSD, you are also part of the FediVerse so you have no excuses not to go and listen to the BSD podcasts.

There are so many diverse subjects, that all you have to do, is pick one that you like, download it in a client that's not encumbered by a massive company, preferably one that's also free Open Source, listen enjoy and learn

And there are many different diverse podcasts

I'll talk about those later

What's the problem you're having with #Syncthing #OpenBSD?

I found that I had to just turn off the file watching feature and just set it to poll every minute or so. OpenBSD just can't seem to handle that many open files.

I'm running my OpenBSD laptop all the time right now. I'd like to get started with the 20+ desktop how-to posts I'm planning.

I also broke my foot.

While I can't move around, I can't sync the user files in the OpenBSD system with my Debian desktop (via Syncthing) and back to my Fedora disk on the laptop, so that's a big reason to stay in OpenBSD.

#OpenBSD #Syncthing

You should know #OpenBSD released 3 patches today:

006 2025-06-17 SECURITY Multiple X11 server issues.

005 2025-06-17 RELIABILITY In acme-client(1), handle as yet unobserved "processing" state when fetching an issued certificate by retrying instead of giving up.

004 2025-06-17 RELIABILITY When using syncookies in pf(4), new TCP connections could run into timeout due to integer underflow.

Update!

@snikket_im I was using it with Prosody (as there's no Snikket package/port for #OpenBSD to my knowledge). Is there a particular XEP that needs enabling for the traffic optimizations?

gurk-rs on OpenBSD does have an extra (sub)dependency: gmake. Without it, building the openssl-sys extension fails.

So, you should be able to install gurk-rs with:

$ doas pkg_add rust protobuf-c gmake
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/boxdot/gurk-rs gurk

There is currently an issue with an upstream package that requires gurk-rs to be ran using the full path, so that'd by default be:

$ /home/$USER/.cargo/bin/gurk

Next time try #OpenBSD or #Haiku. It'll be so lightweight, you'll soil yourself in four dimensions!

@sirber

For example, this is #OpenBSD being totally usable on a 1998 G3:

https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=rT71HwfiM_A

@sirber

Uh, yeah, but #OpenBSD has modern software.

Pick a package and search for it here. See if they don't have it, and a fairly recent version: https://openports.pl/

I think I need more reasons to use #OpenBSD. I used to be a heavy user, even used to run it on my laptop, but currently manage zero installations.

I also think I should give #NetBSD a fair shake, I've only ever installed it twice, and never really given it a chance.

Using OpenBSD is easy, I'll probably convert my wireguard router over to it.

But any suggestions on NetBSD use cases? I mean this from the context of a heavy #FreeBSD user with a massive emphasis on jails.

Good evening, #BSDCafe!
Good evening, #Fediverse!

Today I was finally able to spend the whole day working on FreeBSD and OpenBSD servers, after a few days full of other activities.
I must confess - it’s been incredibly relaxing and refreshing.

I upgraded an OpenBSD server with a colleague (inside a bhyve VM - we were both connected to the same tmux session).
He was amazed by how simple the process was, and actually said “WOW” when the server sent the entire upgrade output via email.

Tomorrow, he’s planning to install a new OpenBSD server and “play around” with it.
Mission accomplished. 🙂
