An excellent solution from @solene 👇 to protect #Wireguard tunnels on #OpenBSD from #TunnelVision attacks.
Have a closer look at the example about rdomain 0 and rdomain 1

One way of configuring a new system is just moving your whole configuration directories and fixing whatever breaks. Depending on how different the systems are and how many things break you might have a working, customized system after a while fixing.
Another way of configuring a new system is doing the exact opposite of that. You see what the defaults are, and slowly move each configuration individually or even partially, slicing a subset of essential configuration that brings less dependencies in.
If you have the time, the second way helps you really learn both the new system you are moving into and the previous one. You get to thoroughly look at your previous configuration, drop unnecessary customization where defaults could be just as good and reevaluate pointless dependencies.
It will be a lot slower, but you end up with a minimal, portable set of configuration you can then consider a new, streamlined bundle built specially for that machine and moment in time.

X.org on NetBSD – The State of Things

Discussions: https://discu.eu/q/https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/x_org_on_netbsd_the
@unix_discussions Perhaps I missed it on my first reading, but I'm very curious as to the long-term plans of all the BSDs wrt X and Wayland (or perhaps some third option?).
My sense, tho I'm not close to such things, is that Wayland will eventually oust X from the Linux world leaving X as a largely orphaned graphics system only used, but barely maintained, by #BSD.
I need a decent VPS host that specialises in #BSD, specifically
#OpenBSD based hosting. One that has a good track record for reliability, also good customer support, and general security practises.
I can google this, but I have a lot of BSD people following me, so I'm asking this here, because my followers will know better.
I'm moving all my self-hosted servers over to OpenBSD but some of it is intentionally outsourced, for a few reasons. If people can reply with suggestions that'd be super.

🧑💻 NetBSD On The State & Future Of X.Org/X11
➥ @phoronix
「 The bad news is that to have applications running we require access to a larger open source ecosystem, and that ecosystem has a lot of churn and is easily distracted by shiny new squirrels. The process of upstreaming stuff to X.Org is an ongoing process, but it's likely we'll run into things that will never be suitable for upstream 」
Recently got a cheap 128 GB SSD to see how BSD would run on my main machine, and this weekend threw FreeBSD on it. I'm sending this toot from the working system, and aside from the general configuration joy of being an Unix nerd, finding almost everything I need to know in the FreeBSD Handbook is a great perk on the second joy: reading docs and being able to flow acting on them.
@jadi @stefano I might follow your suit. Although I'm tooting about tech stuff in general, and have a second focus on #c64 #coding (#retrocomputing), I really wanted to use a #bsd-related instance at first, but back then, bsd.network never reacted, and bsd.cafe didn't exist yet 🙈 .. so I picked some random other instance looking "tech related".
I wasn't aware there's a "clean migration path" like this, thanks!

In my tech life, there are some constants like BSDs and Linux, as well as changes that reflect the evolution of technology. I've cyclically used operating systems like MacOS, Linux, and BSDs on my workstations. My journey with mobile devices started before the advent of smartphones, transitioning through the eras of Symbian and BlackBerry, and more recently to iOS and Android.
In 2020, during the lockdown and due to having a mid-range, somewhat outdated smartphone, I decided to switch back to iOS to take advantage of the period's deals. I predominantly used an iPhone for about three years before returning to Android for various reasons. Now, as I deliberate over which browser and email client to use, I'm reminded of how on iOS, life was simpler: all browsers were essentially Safari in disguise, and the integrated Mail client was the least resource-intensive and best integrated with the Apple Watch.
Here’s a quote for the connoisseurs: When there is only one candidate, there is only one choice!
#technology #BSD #Linux #iOS #Android #mobileHistory #Symbian #BlackBerry #smartphones #browsers #emailClients
Is there a game like Dwarf Fortress, which is playable on #OpenBSD?
@grahamperrin Sorry to hear that, hope somebody will give attention to your bug reports. Anyway, I'm still not interested, so I'll be back to my #bsd thingies, now informed that freebsd users are now relieved. Cheers.

@solene Nice one!!! I would have gone if it hadn't overlapped with a personal event.
Enjoy EuroBSDCon! I know there will be great people there!
New #bsd article:
"There’s a multitude of Operating Systems to choose from. You may have been using something like Windows or MacOS and be perfectly happy with it. You can step up and use Linux, Haiku or even Amiga OS. So, why do I think a BSD system may be a great choice?"
What web server do you like for FreeBSD? I started out with lighttpd but I don't think it's a good fit for me. I'd like to have user homepages and looking at the documentation, the lighttpd folks are focused elsewhere. They provide a module to do this but most of its documentation is about how using it is a bad idea. Can you recommend a light weight httpd that might be better suited to a home network? Thanks! #bsd #freeBSD
Laptop serial number
Well, I did not found the information I was looking for. But I found several key remplacement shops.
There is only 2 kind of key, so I brought both of them (twice because I make so much mistake).
FYI the shop is: https://www.laptopkeyreplacements.com/

Is there a way, in #FreeBSD14, to have the build-in laptop keyboard type?
I did not saw anything about that. I know my keyboard is an AT one, but nothing more.

We had nice talks about improving #BoxyBSD, getting new users attracted into #BSD based systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD but also covering the lacks of it. Outcome was, that a one already worked on that which might result in a new community project (which may also result into a new service).

I didn't get your article, usually when anyone doesn't recommend, for instance, an operative system is because:
the development is led by corporations who don't respect end users' rights.
or because suddenly those corporations made almost impossible to get the source code.
or because that OS constantly spy on you.
or perhaps fix bugs slower and force you to change your hardware at any new release.
None of the above happens across the majority of the #BSD, therefore there is not need to dissuade others to explore them.
If I would explore #FreeBSD or #OpenBSD on the desktop side, and I do that, it is my concern none your. If I consider, like many others, that is worth investing time in overcome a lot of issues — as in the early days of #GNULinux — I believe that is worth understanding the reasons rather than say: «don't do that!».
The most important thing is if people don't try to make stuff working on the desktop side this will never improve.
If you care about diversity and are against any form on mono-culture you should encourage people to try anything including any BSD, or #HaikuOS and #Plan9.
The Linux-monoculture is a problem, and the only remedy is struggling with other Opensource operative system and help them growing and getting better...
Another text for today - " Why you shouldn't run a BSD on a PC"
"Changing GNU/Linux distribution can be done on a whim, as underneath all of that you’ve got the same basic operating systems. With BSDs it’s not the same. One should try to understand the downsides, as not to waste the next 20 years exploring an OS that simply is not a good fit."

(I thought I will write the pro-BSD text first, but the hell with calendars)
Remember to send your #BSD probes to

Thought I'd just check in with the latest updates on #FreeBSD by way of running the #GhostBSD live iso on my ThinkPad P14s AMD and the WiFi actually works now !
OMG I may need to investigate further to see if everything now works !
You do understand this is purely for research though. This post was made on a running #BSD system. 😉
@fbfortune something nice to learning that´s why *BSD is what it is :) no systemd at all :) Thats why I like #slackware path.
Leonardo da Vinci: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
Random thinking again. 
Amid all the OS talk that we have here, I see people mentioning using #FreeBSD and its brethren on their desktop. It's a great server OS for sure, but for those who daily drive it, why? Does it have a specific advantage over #Linux for you, or just personal preference? Did you switch to it after previously using Linux? Was it your first non-Windows PC OS? Are you an old-timer that ran #BSD on a VAX and found it comfortingly familiar? Let's hear your story! 👹

#BSD came a long way....
Many things changed back from the old days!
Fun fact:
I still remember my first #BSD steps.
I was absolutely fascinated by #OpenBSD when I first found it back on 2009...
Well, it's been a long time... and I still run #BSD 
The feeling of running #OpenBSD never left. I can't quite explaint it.. it felt alien and familiar at the same time - peradox.
Small rant:
#BSD is a sane platform - period! 
Why?
It works and is dependable.
Does that matter anymore?
More than ever!
We live in a constantly changing world - for better or worse.
Many chase the next best thing... code is getting bloated more and more by the hour.
In the end we have a safe place to grow and learn...
It is called: #BSD
Run #BSD and enjoy the journey!
After all: This is #UNIX the way it was supposed to be! 😎
"How it all began"
I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

Do you remember when, around 7 years ago, one of the big promises from @nextcloud was to create a foundation?
A foundation that could, among other things, give the community a voice, and produce a coding style guideline striving for compatible and portable code.
I do.

Hey #BSD Fans!
We all share the same interests - #BSD based systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD.
We chat all day, sharing thoughts, questions and help. We talk on Matrix across different channels, we share on the #Fediverse. We have @vermaden@bsd.cafe's newsletter, we have @dexter@bsd.network's #FreeBSD #Jails and #bhyve calls and many other ones I can't list here.
Wondering if there would be and interests in the #BSDNetwork, #BSDCafe, etc., for a weekly smalltalk session like in a pub. Just a Jitsi based video/audio call where we can meet, discuss things from newsletter, trending things from the #Fediverse or just have off-topic and openminded discussions. This could result into the #BSDPub meeting.
I know, some people are shy - keep your cam off until you feel comfortable and feel free to join the discussions. Even this meetings should make fun and no pressure - so if someone is not in the mood or can't make it - no worries. No one will judge.

This has been a very intense week, and today wasn't any different, but I managed to get back on track with the setup of the BSD Based mail hosting. Now the quota is properly managed (and displayed on SOGo), and I've also implemented IMAP ACLs so I can share some mail folders with other users in the same domain.
The setup is progressing, and I'm really pleased with the result!

Though they've been gone for several years now, within the walls of my grandparents' house, I could still sense their presence, hear their voices, and smell their familiar scents. Closing the door for the last time today marked more than just an end to my visits—it symbolized the closure of my childhood and adolescence. It's an incredibly sad day for me. Yet, in this moment of reflection, I'm reminded that the sun will rise again tomorrow. Life, in all its facets, continues to move forward. This includes the BSD-based mail system I've been diligently working on, which is nearing a significant milestone.

GPL is a jealous license: If I can't use your code, you can't use mine.
BSD/MIT/X are generous: If you want to use this, you can.
Which follows from where they were made. RMS was upset nobody from SAIL wanted to be near him, and they had printer drivers and he didn't. It's a license for petty people.
BSD was heroic Berkeley hippies giving away their hackery, liberating UNIX from AT&T. It's for heroes.

I know, it’s limited, because it’s running on my resources that I can provide for free to the community - it’s not much and we’re starting with just 50 free systems, but there’s hope to increase it by time. I also already got in touch with other ones that have similar ideas where we could boost this up.
Huzzah! 
So quick and easy to upgrade from 7.4 to 7.5, even on this crusty iMac! It actually took me longer to upload the pic and post this. 
Thanks to all of the #OpenBSD devs for making these releases possible!
