Great guide from @solene on setting up an #OpenBSD mailserver: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2024-07-24-openbsd-email-server-setup.html - would be great to see something about running this with mailman 3, postorious and hyperkitty in the future (but not expecting it)
UDP packets are now also received in parallel in #OpenBSD -current, thanks to Alexander Bluhm! 
🏎️
To see an performance effect, you need multiple CPUs and network interfaces that support multiqueue. These are bnxt, igc, ix, ixl, ngbe, vmx.
Call for testing from Alexander Bluhm (bluhm@), "UDP send in parallel" MP network stack improvements in #OpenBSD -current.
Please test this diff if you have applications that run multithreaded and send lots of UDP packets.
UDP packets are now sent in parallel in #OpenBSD -current, thanks to Alexander Bluhm! 
bluhm@ modified src/sys/kern/uipc_socket.c: Send UDP packets in parallel.
Sending UDP packets via datagram socket is MP safe now. Same applies to raw IPv4 and IPv6, and divert sockets. Switch sosend() from exclusive net lock to shared net lock in combination with per socket lock. TCP and GRE still use exclusive net lock.

For over a week I haven't been able to set up OpenBSD's relayd to work the way I want it to. Would someone be so kind to help or refer me to someone who can help.
Summary: I have one VPS with IPv4 and IPv6 running OpenBSD 7.5. I want to provide multiple TLS-capable services that relayd should dispatch based on the hostname of the HTTP request. In that case I want to redirect the request to some other port. It would be nice if the default could just fall back to httpd on port 80/443, but manually listing these is also acceptable. The non-httpd services don't do encryption, so it would be nice if relayd could take care of that.
From what I understand this is a pretty standard setup with nginx, but unusually tricky with httpd/relayd.
If it makes it easier, I could set up a virtual machine on the server, but I'd like to avoid the overhead.
Thanks!
boostedFor Classic #Apple #Mac enthusiasts, Mini vMac is in #OpenBSD -current ports now, including a new native sndio(7) audio backend.

Just booked my round-trip flights for EuroBSDCon in Dublin! With this step completed, I’d say everything is set, and I’m looking forward to attending this amazing event for the first time.
Taking this opportunity for #ThankYouTuesday to express my gratitude to the organizers ( @EuroBSDCon ) for their kindness and availability throughout the process.
I truly appreciate it!

Because I don’t have a Linux system on my laptop anymore, I had to find a way to #multiboot #Windows and #OpenBSD without grub. This is were #rEFInd helped.

TIL about vacation(1) on #OpenBSD
http://man.openbsd.org/vacation
Learned about it via a patch on tech@ https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=172166999404303&w=2
@santisbon I've mostly just used #OpenBSD. At first I just used it for my server machine, since I found it to be so much more straightforward to administer than Linux. (Unless you are doing something specific, no need to install new packages, everything is clearly documented in man pages, and generally there are very few surprises.) Then I found it to have a better programming interface, as there are some nice libc extensions, and syscalls, some of which are only now being ported to Linux. And then at one point I thought that if I have to run a javascript interpreter^W^Wweb browser, I might as well do it on OpenBSD, where it is pledge(2)d and unveil(2)ed.
Though I will admit, debugging is easier on Linux due to the tools like valgrind and strace. But maybe that's just because I have to get used to gprof, ktrace, kdump, and so on.
Yesterday I was giving #CBSD a try (#bhyve + #jail wrapper for #FreeBSD).
After few hours trying + documentation reading + forum browsing, I was not able to «passthru» my GPU. The same task took me only 2 minutes using #BVCP 🤷♂️
Also, I was no able to install #OpenBSD, but hopefully it’s not related to CBSD.

Email received a few days ago: "We need to know which version of SSH is installed on the server, as we want to ensure it is not vulnerable to external attacks." My response: "Don’t worry, SSH is accessible ONLY via VPN, and I am the only one with access to that VPN—activated only when needed—so there is no way for there to be any issues, regardless of the version used."
Email received this morning: "We’re not interested; you must provide the SSH version installed and, if it's not the latest, ensure us of the update date."
My response: "Sorry, could you explain the rationale? SSH is not exposed, it’s not listening on any public IP."
Their reply: "Provide the version."
My response: "OpenSSH_9.7, LibreSSL 3.9.0, on OpenBSD."
Their reply: "This is not considered secure. It must be OpenSSH_9.2p1 Debian-2+deb12u3."
My response: "It’s not Debian; it’s OpenBSD."
Their reply: "So the systems are insecure."
And they claim to be a cybersecurity company...

My OpenBSD web server runs since three weeks and does not use much of the available resources 😃 I also like that it has an integrated web server that supports all the things I need (HTTPS redirects, TLS and compression) AND only consist of one config file for the website configuration
It is an awesome choice for people who look for a minimal, lightweight and secure operating system for servers

Something that is yet to come.
We have the tools, the standards, the years and years of research. The closest thing really is seL4 but this is not always an easy system to work with.
In a more "security for the rest of us", my closest choices would be #OpenBSD and #HardenedBSD or Linux with GRSecurity and PaX configured, but even then I would probably hesitate to deploy these in mission-critical environments.
Long post
Seeing your idea flourish into such a vibrant and supportive community is amazing. The positive atmosphere and mutual respect here are remarkable. It’s clear your hard work and vision have paid off.
You got me directly attracted last year on Twitter when I started with social medias and we shared exactly the same mindset - not only about #BSD related content but also about how a community around should look like. You got me back more into the community and into community related services and #opensource. I took the opportunity to create a service like #BoxyBSD for the BSD community, which provides free #VMs (#FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenSolaris, #illumos) for the community to learn, practice or to build their projects. Not everyone can afford own systems to learn in real setups and here we come back to the community mindset - which I honestly took over from you by providing us all your great services!
Getting in touch with all the members of the #BSDCafe it was clear that we need something like a meeting - so we got the #BSDPub, where we can meet, discuss and share knowledge. I feel like home here in the BSDCafe and I can only recommend everyone who's interested into BSD to join.
Wishing you many more successful years ahead. Thank you for everything!
Oh also mat2 which is an excellent metadata remover has been packaged up on #OpenBSD. 
It can remove metadata from documents, images, videos, etc.
Thank you for the help @op @sthen!

boostedHardware accelerated video decode/encode (VA-API) support is beginning to land in #OpenBSD -current. 
libva has been integrated into xenocara with the Intel userland drivers in the ports tree. AMD requires Mesa support, hence the inclusion in base.
A number of ports will be adjusted to enable VA-API support over time, as they are tested.
rsadowski@ modified xenocara.lib/libva/*: Merge libva 2.22.0
Libva is an implementation for VA-API (Video Acceleration API).
VA-API is an open-source library and API specification, which provides access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities for video processing.
It consists of a main library and driver-specific acceleration backends for each supported hardware vendor.Imported version is based on commit: 217da1c28336d6a7e9c0c4cb8f1c303968a675f1
https://github.com/intel/libvaThis work was created during the c2k24. With a lot of help and feedback from matthieu@, tb@, and martijn@.
AMD drivers tested by landry@, martijn@, kn@, op@ and a few more Intel driver tested by matthieu@ and me.
The Intel drivers can find in ports graphics/intel-media-driver and graphics/intel-vaapi-driver. (Depending on your hw)
The ports will be adjusted over time.
Everyone has reported fantastic performance results in Firefox or mpv(1).
OK matthieu@

A trio of #cats for this #Caturday! 
The first one is Fonzie, our Japanese bobtail #cat, from Thursday hiding in one of the boxes under the table, and these second and third ones are newcomers belonging to A's daughter. The tan and white cat is Chickpea and he likes to lounge on the table. This morning, he's decided to lounge next to me as I connect my #OpenBSD laptop to the WiFi here, all while enjoying my #coffee. 
And the third one is Gumball, a calico-turtleshell cat. There is a another cat named Bunny, but she's rather shy. 
I'll try and take a picture of her later today and upload it once she comes out of hiding.

I had a vigorous argument with my CS1 instructor once, who was trying to convince me that low level performance and memory optimisations were uninteresting because we had plenty of resources "now" (20 years ago). We discussed at one point that least part of my interest in extreme efficiency was because I had historically only had access to lower-spec machines, so was wary of how quickly new software came out that my computer couldn't run --- until my mom laid out more money than I'd ever seen her spend on anything (except, shortly thereafter, tuition) for the glorious G4 PowerBook that got me through college, with its massive 512MB of RAM. And I thought, briefly, that maybe writing efficient systems code was less important than it used to be.
Just to start up and do nothing, Microsoft's Copilot apparently requires 8x the RAM of that machine. A machine that is still running, and is snappier running *current* #OpenBSD *on a 20 year old spinning disk* and a single CPU core.
I'm rather optimistic about building `rbw` on #OpenBSD, it's a #Rust based #BitWarden #CLI. Compiling now! It will be so useful to have access to password in the terminal!
Selfie, ec :puffer::runbsdBg:
Decided to go mobile with my #OpenBSD laptop while I reimage these PCs and panel modules and enroll them in Azure. Chatting it up with the #DamgudCuberchatters in the #aNONradio COM room and also with those on IRC as I wind things down in this classroom, and for the work day. #RunBSD #BSD #selfie
On a fresh Debian 12, installing nodejs (please, don't ask) is trivial. It doesn't require a huge kitchensink. However, npm is separated and wanted to install a total of 486 packages! What the actual F!
I just nuked the VM. Linux has gotten way, way worse. Never again 
So glad to be able to return to BSD and preserve my sanity 
You don't need xorg to video-game on a 20 year old machine running OpenBSD.

The July 9th, 2024 Jail/Zones Production User Call is up:
We got an update from DCH about his jail-based CI system, discussed Jan's proposal to port #OpenBSD's sendsyslog(2) and syslog_r(3) to #FreeBSD for finer-grained logging, revisited Antranig's #Netgraph "retry" issue, and more!
"Don't forget to slam those Like and Subscribe buttons."
Purely as a fun exercise, I tried to see how far I can take a default installation of #OpenBSD toward hosting a multi-user website with the fewest number of ports, if any
Turns out, you can go very far
Stack:
httpd(8)
slowcgi(8)
Perl 5
I started with this as a guide:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_Unix/BSD/OpenBSD/As_a_Webserver
Almost got user logins going in the default install, but with one caveat: I had to install a couple of CPAN modules to get password hashing and template rendering to work correctly
In the end, I added SQLite 3. Managing content and users in flat files gets unwieldy after a while. Besides. Perl already has the nice DBI module for database functions
Hope my fellow #OpenBSD developers are having a great time in Prague for the #c2k24 #hackathon this week! 🐡

If you run #OpenBSD and like playing games, I recommend checking out IndieRunner, which was committed to ports today. It was made by fellow OpenBSD developer Thomas Frohwein (thfr@), building upon his previous work for FNA titles (fnaify), adding support for multiple engines/runtimes.

At #EuroBSDcon 2024, I'll talk about using #OpenBSD on your workstation (desktop / laptop)
Faster IPv6 packet forwarding demands RFC violations in #OpenBSD -current
bluhm@ modified src/sys/netinet6/ip6_forward.c: IPv6 forward copies small packet content on the stack.
Unfortunately RFC 4443 demands that the ICMP6 error packet containing the original packet is up to 1280 bytes long. That means for every forwarded packet forward() creates a mbuf copy, just in case delivery fails.
For small packets we can copy the content on the stack like IPv4 forward does. This saves us some mbuf allocations if the content is shorter than the mbuf data size.
OK mvs@
Original discussion on tech@: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=171922170122314&w=2
Finishing up some longstanding work started in 2022, Bob Beck committed a patch enabling namespaced (symbol hiding) builds by default for libssl and libcrypto for #LibreSSL in #OpenBSD -current.
beck@ modified src/lib/libcrypto/Makefile: Enable namespaced builds by default for libssl and libcrypto.
Some further refinements will happen to the build process to automatically generate the Symbols.namespace file, and to remove our last public unhidden symbol (which was a mistake, but waits for a major bump to get removed)
But for now everything should be using this.
ok tb@
In addition to a flurry of commits over the years hiding symbols, the initial commit notes:
Fully explained in libcrypto/README. TL;DR make sure libcrypto and libssl's function calls internally and to each other are via symbol names that won't get overridden by linking other libraries.
Mostly work by guenther@, which will currently be gated behind a build setting NAMESPACE=yes. once we convert all the symbols to his method we will do a major bump and pick up the changes.
ok tb@ jsing@
#OpenBSD uses an explicit list of symbols exported to help avoid unintentional namespace pollution for a number of base libraries, starting with libc in 2015.

HPE ILO & *BSD still broken
Just a Public Service Announcement: do *NOT* buy HPE ProLiant servers if you intend to run #FreeBSD or #OpenBSD) on them.
There are two separate (but linked issues):
* the "virtual drive" emulation so that you can mount an ISO image over the network breaks after boot because the virtual USB CD drive disconnects never to be seen again once the kernel boots,
* the "console" emulation breaks so you can't actually type anything in the console either (so forget trying to boot into single user, for example, or the CD image to do maintenance).
There is a FreeBSD bug open against this: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=277062
… and there is also an (internal-only) HPE case open which was arbitrarily closed at some point by someone. I am re-opening it again because I now have a wonderful situation of a huge VM host where the boot sector got corrupted and I can't fix it without physically going to the DC with a screen, keyboard and USB stick¹
Your 
is pissed off with HPE like there's no tomorrow and would like all PC-based servers to self-combust and turn into ash as soon as possible².
__
¹ the DC is, obviously, not close by.
² I should also add that it is demented that in 2024 we are still having to use a shitty "fake screen & keyboard" to install because of a stupid "server" operating system which can only be managed with a mouse and graphics (yes, that would be you Windows Server).
Here is the spiel for my August 7 NYCBUG talk: https://www.nycbug.org/index?action=view&id=10699
As I said before, if you're in the #NYC area, come by and say hi. It's a fun talk I've been workshopping; you'll leave with some good laughs, learning some new technical knowledge, and learning how to be a better advocate for the BSDs (or whatever your open source/free software niche is).

Hello from Tuba (https://tuba.geopjr.dev/) on #OpenBSD! Relatively straightforward port. If this works and you can see this message, I'll post it to ports@.
A first for me on #OpenBSD:
ix1: CRITICAL: ECC ERROR!! Please Reboot!!
pmap_unwire: wiring for pmap 0xfffffd8783af45f0 va 0x2f654480000 didn't change!
The machine never came back to life after the reboot, most likely motherboard (SuperMicro X10SDV-TLN4F) cooked.
Interestingly the symptoms were that _ix0_ not ix1 was completely dead (i.e. no packets going anywhere).
#oldcomputerchallenge
the prep
From the 13 to 20th July, I will be participating in the annual Old Computer Challenge. I'm doing a week without xorg.
One more release of my Repology cli program. Got a PR improving option handling and then noticed some small bugs in display output I made, so I fixed them.
Grab it here: https://github.com/ibara/repology/releases/tag/v1.2.0

I updated my little Repology cli program. Now it color codes version numbers based on status. Before it was just green for up to date and red for anything else. Now it gives different colors for the other statuses.

Thanks to kevlo@, #OpenBSD now network cards based on the RTL8126 5Gb Ethernet controller.
kevlo@ modified src/*: Add support for the Realtek RTL8126 chip to the rge(4) driver. The RTL8126 is a PCIe to 5Gb Ethernet controller.
