Spent the Sunday morning with updating my personal #ansible playbooks. Man, these guys keep on deprecating quite a lot :)
Now, all my #OpenBSD servers get their configuration without the usage of deprecated variables.
#OpenBSD
OpenBSD's httpd and relayd use invalid time formats starting with OpenBSD 7.8 due to a change of the libc's gmtime(3) time zone string. If you are using one of these daemons and wondering why some clients refuse to talk to your server, this might be the cause: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=176627308013655

If you are keen on attending next year's conference and require financial support, please consider applying for the "Paul Schenkeveld Travel Grant" for 2026.
You can do this by contacting the board before February 1st, 2026, stating who you are, what you are doing with BSD (😈⛳🐡), and why you should receive the grant.
This grant is in recognition Paul's accomplishments and in memory of his work and dedication to the BSD community, the EuroBSDCon Foundation is offering a travel grant in his name.
Paul was one of the few - if not the only one - to have attended all EuroBSDCon conferences since their inception in 2001. Besides his many contributions to BSD in general and the EuroBSDCon conferences in particular, he established the EuroBSDCon Foundation in 2010 to ensure continuity for many more conferences.
The EuroBSDCon Foundation Board will consider all valid submissions in its sole discretion and communicate its selection by March 2026. The selected person will receive travel expense reimbursement and hotel accommodation during the conference as well as free entrance to the conference and social event.
More information can be found on: https://eurobsdconfoundation.org/travel-grant.html
The 2026 edition will be held in Brussels, Belgium.
#RUNBSD also in 2026!

Have you ever wanted to have Theo de Raadt give you his fortune in your GNU Emacs session? I made a package some time ago which serves exactly this purpose. You can find the package, as well as it's history on Codeberg with the following link. It is currently my only Emacs package, but I plan to make more when it becomes useful to.
https://codeberg.org/amadaluzia/theo.el
Appending to the history after the package was published onto Codeberg, I ended up in a call where me and @izder456 were talking about theo.el. I believe in that call, it was also reposted in the OpenBSD room on Matrix. I also was suggested to put it on MELPA, so that is exactly what I did.
After creating the pull request and fixing all of the issues that stopped it from being pushed into MELPA, it couldn't make it on as it was a pretty repetitive package, and there were about 5 other `fortune`-esque packages with much more customisability. However, I now have a better package because of MELPA's guidelines, and I believe that I can still give attention to the package, even if not through MELPA.
That's why I wanted to talk about it here, because maybe you are interested in having a fortune package for your GNU Emacs. If so, and assuming you have straight.el, you can simply copy the following snippet into your init.el. After that, you should have it installed.

Let me know how the package goes for you. I would love to improve the GNU Emacs ecosystem further, as a GNU Emacs user.

Just in time before christmas, the R1OS Forum is ready and registrations are open. The forum is for all people that need some support or want to discuss about free and open source software, especially Linux and BSD operating systems.
Please note that the forum is not affiliated with any projects and cannot help with official problems related to these. Please use the official channels if you need specific help with a project.
@openbsdnow My problem especially with #OpenBSD is the incompatibility of some plugins of #Neovim and #Emacs, and I think just due to the mismatch of some package names, certificates and SSL stuff...
Xeyes behavior on #OpenBSD/luna88k seems broken after not testing it for a while😞
#OpenBSD/luna88k で、しばらくテストしていなかった xeyes を動かしてみたらおかしくなっている😞
#OpenBSD/luna88k snapshot is running on nono (LUNA-88K capable emulator) 1.6.4 on #OpenBSD/amd64 7.8-stable!
I don't know, although I do know that the Chromium team did a lot of work to make it run faster on OpenBSD (a few years back), so maybe Mozilla threw in some resources to make it run faster on that OS, or the OS itself became more efficient?
I know that #OpenBSD has a LOOOOT of security mitigations, and they can very negatively impact performance for extremely overcomplicated bits of software like modern web browsers at times.
A friendly reminder to check out the #OpenBSD want.html page on occasion, developers may add requests for hardware they want/need for development. :flan_hacker:
rsadowski@ modified www/want.html: Mac mini M2 needed for ports development.
