This week's #OpenBSD story is available!

In which we learn that hardware documentation is a good thing, but incomplete or not-enough documentation is a curse...

New methodology paper: The Calculator Discipline.

A four-class taxonomy of AI-assisted disclosure hallucinations, a pre-send filter that catches the mechanical ones, and two real withdrawals from my own OpenBSD work — including the one Theo de Raadt asked the right question about.

Honest case studies from the sender's end of a problem the field has only described from the receiving end.

Right now it just covers basic desktop and rehashing my router setup. Plan to add more use cases as I tinker with things myself 😛

Random quote from the #OpenBSD #Matrix room:

It seems like an interesting decision to just install all sets by default

abyxcos: BSD systems favor cathedral style development rather than bazaar. Tends to be like that here, one base that works together vs infinite flexibility to handle replacements.

I have written in Romanian about #OpenBSD 7.9 and my first very impressions of #Mango, but while editing the post, as I was switching between tiling layouts, the #Wayland session crashed with the infamous Wayland socket broken pipe error, so for now I'm back on cwm...
