@aud that was on the roadmap, but capitalism ran out of money and had to shut it all down. they posted their "our incredible journey" post this afternoon
@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place sorry to report we've moved from late stage capitalism straight to bonus round capitalism, which will be followed by capitalism encore
How do y’all organize your #Linux or #BSD workflow?Are you a desktop environment user that treats it as a turnkey environment for all your needs and don’t tweak it much?Do you just use the tty and terminal programs early leveraging the power of the unix-y shell?Or do you play in the middle ground somewhere and use a tiling wm like me?—For me, I treat my #OpenBSD install like a unix-y flavored lisp machine. I don’t need much gui integration that much outside of the terminal, my wm’s lisp process socket and emacs, to be happy.
Well now it seems #OpenBSD has me beat when trying to wipe and setup a new USB memory stick.I have never had issues under FreeBSD or Linux before but this is either me being extremely thick or ??justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas fdisk -iy sd2Writing MBR at offset 0.justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas disklabel -E sd2Label editor (enter '?' for help at any prompt)sd2> pOpenBSD area: 64-15728640; size: 15728576; free: 15728576# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 15728640 0 unusedsd2> apartition to add: [a]offset: [64]size: [15728576]FS type: [4.2BSD] ext2fssd2*> qWrite new label?: [y] yjustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ ^Cas disklabel -E sd2justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas disklabel sd2# /dev/rsd2c:type: SCSIdisk: SCSI disklabel: Flash Diskduid: 507add78df02feccflags:bytes/sector: 512sectors/track: 63tracks/cylinder: 255sectors/cylinder: 16065cylinders: 979total sectors: 15728640boundstart: 64boundend: 1572864016 partitions:# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 15728576 64 ext2fs c: 15728640 0 unusedjustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas newfs_ext2fs /dev/rsd2a/dev/rsd2a: 7679.9MB (15728576 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096 using 60 block groups of 128.0MB, 32768 blks, 16384 inodes.^Cjustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas newfs_ext2fs /dev/sd2anewfs_ext2fs: /dev/sd2a: block devicejustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas newfs_ext2fs sd2a/dev/rsd2a: 7679.9MB (15728576 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096 using 60 block groups of 128.0MB, 32768 blks, 16384 inodes.^Cjustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas newfs_ext2fs -I sd2a/dev/rsd2a: 7679.9MB (15728576 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096 using 60 block groups of 128.0MB, 32768 blks, 16384 inodes.I used dd to wipe the USB then checked it was wiped. Then did the above and it all seems ok as per folk on the web and OpenBSD docs but newfs_extfs just sits there doing nothing.Anyone help or have a simple idiot sheet of what to do from wiping the USB memory stick to setting up an ext2 partition and formatting it. Mounting it will be the easy part.
Feeling so so comfy daily driving OpenBSD of late that I've still not touched my FreeBSD ThinkPad. The only FreeBSD interaction I've had is with my servers in my homelab which I'm tempted to add some OpenBSD stuff in their too. It's been amazing as everything just works and yes I'm running current too with no Wayland. But that doesn't matter as I'm really liking HerbstluftWM.Yes before you ask I have been tempted to deploy puffy on the ThinkPad but have so far resisted as the Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower on a i5-10505 is plenty quick enough. #RunBSD
