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.

Still a WIP, but I’m trying to consolidate all my basic OpenBSD guides into one place:

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...

OMG, these are my cats! On my Gemini capsule! In Lagrange! On my olde T43 connected to a wireless network! Except it's running #OpenBSD !

And getting here was much easier than I anticipated, installation takes like 15 minutes and it throws less stupid questions at you than any modern Linux distro would. Recent FreeBSD can't even boot on this machine and here even IBM MicroDrive in PCMCIA slot works! OpenBSD, WTF?! 😲
