Yes, it’s strange, it’s crazy, yes - it used to be impossible. But the time has come when Wayland on OpenBSD has matured enough to run massive and beautiful compositors.

We all know that PKGBASE is ‘the’ way for the FreeBSD future – but there are some things that need to be polished. FreeBSD 15.x is the last version that will allows usage of freebsd-update(8) command to update/upgrade FreeBSD system. Starting with FreeBSD 16.0-RELEASE the PKGBASE will be the ONLY way of installing/updating/upgrading the FreeBSD Base System.

HyprBSD installs FreeBSD with a preconfigured Hyprland desktop from one ISO. The base system, drivers and desktop packages are included, so installation works offline.

Every few years I want to install OpenBSD at Scaleway… but they don’t support OpenBSD and I need to find a way to install regardless.

FreeBSD's hypervisor has been part of the base system since 2014. Each guest is one process that offers nineteen device models, locks itself into a Capsicum sandbox, can run inside a jail and keeps its disk on a ZFS volume. Its userland comes to 46,709 lines; QEMU, measured the same way, to almost two million. Technical Beauty Scope.

With one recent commit, the top(1) command on OpenBSD became quite a bit more useful. The commit adds a new -Q flag to show each process' use of the chroot(2), pledge(2) and unveil(2) facilities.

OpenSSH 10.6p2 has been released with a workaround for a critical vulnerability.

I have kept my SSH and signing keys on hardware for years. The private key lives on an OpenPGP card or a Nitrokey, it never touches the disk, and a stolen laptop is a stolen laptop rather than a stolen identity. What changed over the last year is the software I use to talk to those cards. For SSH authentication and Git signing I no longer go through GnuPG at all. I use three small Rust programs from the OpenPGP Card project instead.

OpenBSD 8.0, vmd(8), WebZFS has reached BETA3, HardenedBSD updates and more...

Every FreeBSD package was compiled in a fresh jail whose network was cut once the sources had been fetched and checked, and every night the system compares what it has installed with the project's list of known flaws. Nobody had to switch either of those on. On Linux each distribution decides for itself how strictly its packages are built, and the administrator who builds a package of their own decides again. Lean Software.
