#openbsd

Which BSD do you use ? I'm interested to see which BSD has the bigger user base on the fediverse and why you use it. Boosts are welcome. #OpenBSD #freebsd #OpenBSD #RUNBSD

Does any #OpenBSD arm64 wizard know how to let simplefb know to use the higher resolution on a Lenovo ThinkPad T14S G6 (Snapdragon X1E) with the 2880 x 1800 option? My eyes would be most grateful… ​

The Ghidra reverse engineering tool/decompiler has returned to #OpenBSD ports! ​ Thanks to Kurt Miller (kurt@), #Ghidra 12.0.2 is now in -current! ​ https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports-cvs&m=177069535911042&w=2 Ghidra was originally ported to OpenBSD back in 2019, but due to major changes upstream, updates stagnated until 2023, when it was disabled to avoid shipping an outdated package.

#Ghidra has accepted #OpenBSD support upstream with the latest 12.2 release, now in -current ports thanks to Kurt Miller (kurt@)! ​ https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports-cvs&m=179388758571544&w=2 https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/blob/Ghidra_12.2_build/Ghidra/Configurations/Public_Release/src/global/docs/ChangeHistory.md

Important #OpenBSD errata for supported releases [8.0,7.9] have just landed (mirrors will be syncing at the moment). When you get a chance, syspatch your systems and reboot. #BSD

#OpenBSD 8.0 fans in #berlin? Spotted this multiple times in Prenzlauer Berg.

@MsDropbear42@infosec.space Maybe go ahead with #GhostBSD as the "gateway drug" into the BSD world. Then when you've "found your BSD feet" with it, hopefully easier to try plain #NetBSD or #OpenBSD. I think that's what I might do. I used friendly PC-BSD back in the 00s but no BSD experience since. (Switching not urgent yet as I'm on Linux Mint Xfce X11, based on a 2024 LTS release, so presumably much less likely to contain slop than a cutting edge release.) #FreeBSD #BSD #NoAI

Hope my fellow #OpenBSD developers have a great time this week in Krk, Croatia at the #h2k26 #hackathon! ​ ​

Added a virtual host in #OpenBSD 's HTTPD. That was quick and painless. #openBSD8

It's been a while since the last update! The HDD live image of #OpenBSD/luna88k is now updated to the 8.0 release. Great for LUNA-88K compatible emulators like nono and GXemul. Check the README for details.

Good morning! Part 00000010! We are about to start (2026-11-01 @ 09:00 UTC) the planned maintenance window for all odd numbered hosts. Upgrading from #OpenBSD 7.9 to 8.0 #OpenBSD #RUNBSD #Maintenance

@Tionisla@mastodon.bsd.cafe finished. A friend just rang. Was just asked to come over for some early coffee and biscuits at 2 o'clock, so any "ghost(bsd) busting" will have to wait for later :-) #RundBSD #GhostBSD #NetBSD #OpenBSD

Most of the highly-publicized security vulnerabilities in #Linux these days, including the recent kernel TCP RCE, are the result of races and/or memory corruption. If #BSD were to catch on, all those AI bug-finding bots would be turned on the BSDs…which are written in C. There's probably plenty of vulnerabilities there too. Perhaps fewer than Linux, since Linux is so jam-packed with enterprise features and weird optimizations, but still… 😬 Are #NetBSD and #OpenBSD prepared for this?

Ori Bernstein (ori@) has sent a follow-up mail about his experimental #GEFS port to #OpenBSD tech@, including a updated diff with newfs_gefs(8) utility, and more error handling. ​ [...] First off, thanks to Martijn, and everyone else who tried it out and sent patches. Everything is updated and rebased, and the diff has been regenerated with all of the lastest. I've gone through a the error handling code. In theory the filesystem will handle errors mostly correctly. There are probably still places where theory diverges from reality. I've also forward ported most of the important bugfixes from 9front. [..] Some userspace tools have been done (you can now mkfs on openbsd!), but snapshot control hasn't.

is there even anyone else with interest in having #netbsd or #openbsd on phones? android is a lost cause (being bloated to unimaginable degrees) and so is linux i want to eventually look into porting netbsd to my samsung s II (there's already some drivers in linux)
