OpenAI codex (lightweight CLI coding agent written in Rust) imported in OpenBSD ports - Initial work by Chris Cappuccio #LLM #OpenAI #OpenBSD https://github.com/openbsd/ports/commit/301f1110dec80a78d71dffbf79dcf3dc37315e09

Once again #KDE tries to get rid of minority distributions. This time by replacing SDDM with PLM (plasma login manager). PLM depends on systemd.
So sooner or later no KDE for #alpineLinux, #FreeBSD, #Gentoo, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #Slackware, #VoidLinux, etc.

For #BLFS it is no problem as BLFS itself recently discontinued its non-systemd version.
#LFS

Wow, this is cray cray, proving in a major way the meme started by xkcd is absolutely true. Seems that "sudo", the function that allows super user administration level commands to be enabled on millions of computers running Linux & BSD, including most of the servers that enable vital data centers and "clouds", has actually been maintained over the past 33 years by a single developer. And that this developer is now asking for help, and/or cash money, to allow them to continue to maintain it. Here's hoping that some peeps step up, because that is way too important of a thing to let become insecure or buggy.

@nina_kali_nina That Sun SPARCstation though 😍 It might even still run recent versions of #OpenBSD!

[Computer & OS history] You want stories about OpenBSD? and from the inside of the project?
Here they are: "it's #OpenBSD story time" as @miodvallat wrote, with a regular update of his Web page, http://miod.online.fr/software/openbsd/stories/index.html
Check this index each week: he announced the dates of publishing for the part "OpenBSD on SGI: a rollercoaster story".
And each detailled story is very rich with technical points, email & code quotations and more (all of this is mainly in text #format). Thanks, and happy reading!

We have spun up 5 new VMs during the last 48 hours. Some were booked by known friends of ours, some booked by new friends we have never met before. Welcome on board!

#git #hosting #gameoftrees #openbsd

Well, well, well, looks like it's #OpenBSD story time again!

All you've ever wanted to know about BSD on Silicon Graphics systems (and a bit of Linux, too), without daring to ask. As this is a very long story, it will span six installments, with a new part released every wednesday.

Patch yer Blowfishes #openbsd

@ParadeGrotesque https://mastodon.sdf.org/@ParadeGrotesque/116009170375709856

#OpenBSD 7.8 has a 13th patch for httpd:

013: SECURITY FIX: February 2, 2026

All architectures

Fix a use-after-free in httpd(8) when using chunked encoding.

https://www.openbsd.org/errata78.html

I wanted to have #IPv6 addresses for my #OpenBSD vmm virtual machines for quite some time. I never realized how easy it is until I discovered how easy it is.

- Enable and configure dhcp6leased
- Enable and configure rad
- Restart the VMs
- Enjoy

The slightly longer version can be found on my website https://xosc.org/vmm-ipv6.html

Installing #Slackware #Linux using #vmm on #OpenBSD. Got some help from this video on getting the console to display correctly in the terminal. :runbsdBg:​ #RunBSD #BSD #virtualization

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZnM-T6Os-s

Planning on using this as a practice Linux system for my Linux+ studies. :flan_book:​:flan_hacker:​

Managed to more or less finish the Nextcloud setup for the #runbsd project.

Only thing left to fix is the redis config.

I directly hooked up the phone and computer of our youngest and of myself.

So I guess this is mission critical infrastructure now :-)

#nextcloud #runbsd #openbsd #autonomy #floss

I'm starting to like thos home-made #Grafana dashboard to keep an eye on my #OpenBSD / #Unbound resolvers. #RunBSD

@cstross

I found it by having the idea of putting #OpenBSD into the search field.

Other people have already found the (redacted!) copy of the Bourne Again shell GNU reference manual and man page that are in there; and I had been wondering what the most bizarre software thing might be in there.

There's also a copy of Kevin Gallagher's instructions for EDT for GNU #emacs in there; with M. Gallagher's e-mail address redacted.

#EpsteinFiles

@Datenpunks das mag nicht ganz Punk like sein, doch zeigt denn Leuten auch wie sie nicht nur Linux, sondern auch mal ne #Debian oder #OpenBSD von und mit #ISO #CD installieren werden kann #Datenintigrität #Privacy #Sicherheit #Datenschutz sind mehr und mehr ein Ding - grad wo zentralisierte Dienst alles aus einer Quelle bringen - dann doch lieber mal bei denn einzelnen periodisierten Distribution aus die Seite surfen, ggf. Ein Tshirt, sonstigen Merch mitklingen oder eine Spende da lassen. Die Entwickler freuen sich, die Seiten bekommen mal wieder etwas mehr Klickzahlen, denn auch die leben von Werbung und buymeacoffee oder ähnlichem. Es wird sich schon auszahlen und gut für die Infrastruktur sein, wenn die Entwickler Geld haben um auch ab und an mal die Bugbountys Prämien zahlen können. BigTech macht das flapsig gesprochen aus der Portokasse, ein kleiner OpenBSD, Debian Mensch hat tendenzielle eher nicht das Kapital dafür, und ist eher auf kleinem Posten verglichen mit Windows, MacOS etc.
