Paul SomeoneElseThere was a cool email in one of the <a href="https://snac.d34d.net?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openbsd</a> mailing lists. The base gdb is old because it is GPL. If you pkg_add gdb you can use a newer on which installs as egdb. Or pkg_add lldb (i assume from llvm). This fixes the version problem you always see using the old gdb that is included because it is not GPL. I heard I could ignore that message, but it's nicer to just not have it.

Bradley TauntSuccessfully serving some test sites off my local Mac Mini running OpenBSD / httpd. It’s currently using Eero’s DDNS for the port reservations and forwarding, so it’s only temporary until my real router arrives.

Paul SomeoneElseI am still speedrunning the C track on Exercism. By speedrunning I mean I am NOT looking for quality. I get the test to pass and then just clean up comments and format the code, and done. On to the next one. I am hoping some of knowledge and use of malloc and related memory handling will be improved. I feel like I am getting too many segfaults in my own C code to be explained by malloc randomly not having enough memory. My assumption is that should basically never happen on a modern and good OS like OpenBSD. (assumption ...) [0] I think this type of learning has many merits. Also the optimizing stuff frequently happens organically when you are working on code that you are excited about. (Like excited about what the code does, not just getting it to run.) <a href="https://snac.d34d.net?t=c" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#C</a> <a href="https://snac.d34d.net?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> [0]: I have watched the video of Otto Moerbeek talking about his malloc updates in OpenBSD. I am gonna probably watch it again as I have more hands on experience with this stuff in my own play code.

Michael JackI've got a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th, currently running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I want to try *BSD on this laptop.Network controller is reported as "Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 88)" under Linux.FreeBSD installs OK, but wireless speed is not impressive, and my USB-C dock doesn't seem to be recognized.I can live with using a wifi-dongle when out and about, but missing dock connectivity is not something I look forward to. I don't care about the built-in camera.Is there anything else I should worry about? Sound, Bluetooth, sleep mode, battery life?<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ThinkPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a>

Michael JackFirst steps in the BSD world!1) OpenBSD on VPS (Amsterdam) 2) FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi 4 (home)I'm running a Wireguard connection between the two.Next step is setting up relayd on the VPS to point at services on the Raspberry Pi server.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a>

Tim PantonIt looks like it is goodbye to <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/openBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openBSD</a> as my router. I've had an openBSD running as firewall or router since about 2002 but finally got to the point that it isn't worth the performance hit.Specifically there doesn't seem to be a sensibly priced quiet box that will run openBSD+pf+pppoe at 1Gb/s so I think it is probably time to look at commercial alternatives like FritzBox! and Ubiquity. I tried FreeBSD - which has similar problems.

Dave Polaschek (he/him)Noticed that Debian went from bookworm to trixie recently. Pondered updating my Pis, then remembered I’m scheduled for surgery soon, and if something was to go wrong with the upgrade, and I couldn’t get it fixed before surgery, I would likely have no idea how to fix it afterwards.Then thought about how OpenBSD system upgrades are a non-event. I wouldn’t have hesitated to turn the crank there.I think this means my long-term task changed to “upgrade to OpenBSD on Pis.” <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a>
