@as400 Or you could install openbsd-backgrounds from ports/packages, for photos taken by OpenBSD developers, not AI slop. ​https://github.com/marcespie/openbsd-backgrounds

OpenBSD 7.9 is should almost be here!! #79HYPE #HYPE7924 new VMs were added and 68 VMs were renewed.We donated €1260 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, €64645 since we started.Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!Stay safe & healthy!#RUNBSD in 2026

Dear #OpenBSD friends. I feel like I owe everyone thank you for so many suggestions about #backup tools.Last few days I tried to rsync OS together with home data to an external, encrypted disk and then make it bootable. So I have backup and a nice recovery tool at the same time.Umfortunately I can't make it boot. Seems like kernel does not assemble encrypted softraid disk while booting from USB. It goes sideways while booting with "root device (duuid of softraid disk) not found". Any ideas ? 😀

@rqm I personnaly use https://openbsd.app#my2cents

@lw Happy to help!Works the same on my OpenBSD 7.8 server.

@vermaden On Linux I have been running GoG games with wine-11 and ntsync in WoW64 mode with minigalaxy as launcher and most games were totally fine. No 32bit needed. I was surprised because GE-Proton-10 is quite buggy for me since they introduced that umu-launcher, and wine-11 just works fine now.I have to try Wine11-WoW in FreeBSD now, there is the minigalaxy launcher in ports and someone cooked a NTSync kernel module: https://github.com/XaeroVincent/FreeBSD-NTSync.Steam is still in a 32bit chroot...

Yesterday, 42 days to go to the next BSD-NL Conference - Early 2026 🐡😈⛳You can still get tickets! https://tickets.bsdnl.nl/bsdnl/You can still submit your talk!https://events.bsdnl.nl/(CfP closes on 2026-04-12)📆 2026-05-09 / May 9th 2026🕐 10:00-23:00 CEST📍 Brouwerij Maximus (Utrecht)🌐 https://bsdnl.nl#BSDNL #RUNBSD #BSD #OpenBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #HardenedBSD #SecBSD #DragonflyBSD

Just spent way too long wrestling with a 400-line pf.conf and asymmetrical routing. 😵‍💫The culprit? Classic rule ordering. A slightly too broad rule (with quick) near the top was happily catching traffic and creating states without the reply-to option before my intended rule could even look at it.The packets were flowing, just... not back the right way. Debugging that was significantly harder than I expected.I am officially logging off to take a nap. 💤#pf #PacketFilter #Networking #Sysadmin #FreeBSD #OpenBSD

Hmmm decisions decisions. As an #OpenBSD user I usually prefer #vim with just 2 plugins installed my gruvbox theme and colorizer to color html color codes. But I'm wondering if I really need syntax highlighting and theme support ? You can see my rough and I mean rough .kshrc side by side in vim and vi. I do like a splash of color and do enjoy the command completion though so I guess I will tinker with n(vi) further. #vi

@as400 Not OpenBSD but I have been using rsnapshot for like 20 years on Linux.It's brain dead simple. No encryption or anything. If you need encrytion at rest leverage your OS file system tools.HTH

@as400 I guess I should try this on #Librewolf on #Freebsd even if I don't feel any performance issue...!

More monkeying around with OpenBSD. I spent a bunch of time getting LXQt working but the themeing was taking too much time so I threw more ram at the VM and installed KDE. The goal was to learn about OpenBSD, not LXQT. Ha.Lots of the standard apps are there in OpenBSD but I need to find out how to get Librewolf and Waterfox going. Having done zero research, I'm assuming I need to compile from source.I saw an article out using "Molly" as an alternate Signal Messenger client (xn--gckvb8fzb.com/if-you-must-use-signal-use-molly/). May try it in the future.The KDE Plasma version is 6.4.5. IIRC KDE is stopping X11 support so I will need to figure out something else I guess. I've seen threads about Wayland on OpenBSD but didn't go down the rabbit hole yet. What little I read implied not ready for prime time.The VM feels pretty snappy even though the QEMU agent doesn't really help with video options. This is using the VGA driver setup to get a decent resolution.I really need to get this Jeep back on the road. I miss it.#OpenBSD #KDE #KDEPlasma #LXQt #VM #QEMU #Librewolf #Waterfox #X11 #Wayland #Signal
