The holidays are fast approaching, so Happy Holidays for those who observe. :)
We will be upgrading all the hosts soon. Waiting for an errate to come in.
18 new VMs were added and 77 VMs were renewed.
We donated €1335 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, €59705 since we started.
Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!
Stay safe, healthy & sane!
You can still #RUNBSD in 2025

Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!

The af-to in #OpenBSD #PF is so flexible that it allows you to host IPv4 services within a #IPv6 only network, only requiring dual-stack on the firewall/router. The 'pass' rule even allows for selective port decisions on where the IPv4 address might be used for other IPv4 only services #BSD:
pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp to (egress:0) port 12345 af-to inet6 from 2001:db8:dead:beef::1 to 2001:db8:dead:beef::/96 port ssh

Do you write (or want to write) portable C software with an #openbsd flavour? After many years of it languishing as a readme, I've finally put up a page for oconfigure, https://kristaps.bsd.lv/oconfigure, which creates a compatibility shim for doing just that. Take all the arc4random() and strtonum() goodness with you wherever your sources go! In the latest release, I've parallelised the configure script for faster feature detection. Have any non-portable OpenBSD goodies you want to be detected or added as a compatibility shim, or does the script with properly on any operating systems I haven't mentioned? I'm always happy to look at pull requests.

My #Thinkpad X200 (currently running #OpenBSD) is about to turn 16.
I bought it when it was already a relic of 9 years old.
Yet, I could just about daily-drive it today without really breaking a sweat. Especially using a BSD and an X11-based window manager, which leaves a lot of free RAM out of its 4GB available for other things, like actually running a web browser. XD
That's just crazy to me.
I remember when my belovèd old #Macintosh SE turned 16 (in 2006), it was just sitting in my closet gathering dust. It had a lot of sentimental value, but wasn't really usable to me.
RIP #MooresLaw. ;)

｢ There are some nice things about FreeBSD, like root on ZFS, and broadly I feel that it's more friendly than OpenBSD. But those are secondary to its firewall network performance (and PF compatibility); if its network performance was no better than OpenBSD (or worse), we wouldn't be interested. Since it is better, it's now displacing OpenBSD for our firewalls and our latest VPN servers ｣
