Long, really long day today. Still on the road, driving in the dark, with classic tunes from an interesting radio station on TuneIn. But another FreeBSD and OpenBSD installation is in the works, and that makes me content.

I have finally moved to #Slackware from #OpenBSD... Working out trying out using multiple users to compartmentalize information and data.

I'm not sure how I feel about being back in the days of building software from sources, but I enjoy the simplicity and I'm hoping security updates for the core packages are in a 'good' state.

I didn't really research much, but I used Slackware for 10 years, in a previous life, so I'm happy to be back home.

So I’m waiting for #OpenBSD up and running on @OpenBSDAms 😃. Only instant access to #BSD server give me the chance to learn more about #OpenBSD ecosystem. Also this is good occasion to support OpenBSD Foundation.

So this looks the same as netbsd's? I don't keep netbsd's src on hand, I will check in a moment
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/bin/ksh/
#openbsd #ksh #kornShell #TheReturnOfKorn #cvsweb
Edit: At least the fact that it's not in ports suggests it's not a port, right.

@brynet

Which also means #NetBSD ksh is not the same as #OpenBSD ksh, since the .profile under NetBSD contains:

export EDITOR=vi
export VISUAL=${EDITOR}

Plot twist: it seems both use (Public Domain) ksh 5.2.14.... 🤔

Is it possible to avoid the issue on #OpenBSD by using the NetBSD configuration? I'll try that later...

Wondering why ksh does not scroll through history using the arrow keys on #OpenBSD (while in a tmux session) while it does on #NetBSD ... 🤔

@jhx there's also an openrsync in #OpenBSD :-)

So I wanted to know more about BSD systems but I also wanted to spend less time in front of my screen.

I ended reading Absolute FreeBSD from @mwl , cover to cover. Without a computer. Realized I already had a PGP book from him on my shelf.

This guy is an amazing technical writer. And he deleted his TwiX account. Follow him on Mastodon !

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, I have a client who's relocating and moving to a different office. I need to set up a simple internal network for them, and the WAN will be a 200Mbit/sec connection. They could repurpose a PCEngines APU (where I'd install OpenBSD or FreeBSD), or I could deploy a small Mikrotik that does everything, including acting as an access point. There won't be any incoming connections since the datacenter is at another location, and I'll connect via Wireguard. I'm leaning towards the first option, but the second is more straightforward and easily replaceable in case of issues. Any advice?

I know, I know....but it's very, very useful :D

Is it okay to have your #relayd slides proofread by an #OpenBSD developper/committer before #EuroBSDCon starts?

Could anyone help me with #lynx browser?

I’m trying to set up the external viewer for images, so:
MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES:TRUE
XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND:nsxiv %s
VIEWER:image/jpeg:nsxiv %s&:XWINDOWS
for example, but no way. I can only download the image but not view it inside #nsxiv

I started my #Linux and #BSD journey in 2009 - beginning of the year.
It was fresh, new, and all around a good time - fond memories 🙂
I still use #Windows to.
But I can say one thing:
Without #Linux #BSD and #FOSS I would have never grown as a person!
I owe so much to them... so much

I'm jhx (Julian) and I'm still loving #FOSS above everything else - since now almost 15 years 😎

Use #Linux and #BSD :linux: :freebsd: :openbsd:

Fun fact: First #BSD was #OpenBSD 4.5 (Games)

The one problem I've had with going back to selfhosting is that my Let's Encrypt configuration keeps breaking. (#OpenBSD acme-client.)

Not sure what I've done to upset nginx this time but symlinks seem far more reliable than clever path rewriting.

#sysadmin Hot damn, I forgot that inserting an extra network card in a PC could change parameters of the original card rendering it unusable. Took me some time to remember this factoid on #OpenBSD...
