Do you have a surplus of #bitcoin, because I also collect rare bitcoins. I _am_ gonna spend it on pizza and computers, though. Maybe rent, if I can figure out how.. (Native SegWit): bc1qzkchnc25yeqt9p24edsu5ln0mvh8hqdzdznlk2 #MutualAid #HelpSky

#OpenBSD -current now supports symbolizing utrace address for DSO (dynamic shared objects), including dynamically linked programs, thanks to Alexandr Nedvedicky (sashan@)! marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

Heads up from Job Snijders et. al, rpki-client 9.6 has been released! 🥳 Highlights from this release include: • The parser process which now does multi-threaded object validation. • New CCR (draft-spaghetti-sidrops-rpki-ccr) data interchange format. ...and lots more! #BGP #RPKI #OpenBSD

Following support for Realtek RTL8126 5GbE devices last year in 7.6, the upcoming #OpenBSD 7.8 will have initial support the 10Gbit RTL8127 chipset in rge(4), thanks to Kevin Lo (kevlo@)! 😎

#OpenBSD acme-client(8) now supports the draft-ietf-acme-profiles specification, supported by certificate authorities like Let's Encrypt. This allows for different "profiles" to be provided that can be selected by the user, such as "shortlived" TLS certificates. marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

Now is your chance to demonstrate that all my promotion is pointless. Because #n4sa2e is live. mwl.io/ks

macOS 26 released, upgrade to OpenBSD -current today! 🐡

#OpenBSD EFI bootloader now supports modifying the memory map, a feature that previously only worked on legacy BIOS/MBR installs. marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... How is that useful? Well, it's probably not.. unless you want to party like it's 1999 🎉 boot> mach memory =256M

no empathy for comic book villains or their henchman 😔

My #BSD daemon "Beastie" case badge sticker that I received from a fellow OpenBSD developer a few years ago, it's a bit yellowed...

NSD (Authoritative DNS server in base) has been updated to 4.13.0 in #OpenBSD -current, after being at 4.9.1 due to significant upstream changes, such as replacing the flex+bison zone parser with a new SIMD optimized implementation. This follows last weeks update of Unbound to 1.23.1.

Unsurprisingly, OpenBSD/arm64 will not boot on your intel laptops...

Come to Zagreb September 24-28, 2025 and geek out with BSD people at EuroBSDcon! See 2025.eurobsdcon.org Program events.eurobsdcon.org/2025/schedule/ Register 2025.eurobsdcon.org/registration... #openbsd #netbsd #freebsd #zagreb #eurobsdcon #freesoftware #libresoftware #development #networking

RIP Mr. Crabby Tree 😢

Initial support for the Raspberry Pi 5 is heading to #OpenBSD -current arm64 snapshots soon, with some caveats. 🐡 marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

To my trans friends, know that you are loved.🏳️‍⚧️💜

Now this is real convenient, especially on machines where it's impossible to hit the right key fast enough to enter the UEFI BIOS settings. On #OpenBSD/amd64, you can now type "machine fwsetup" at the boot> prompt in efiboot(8). marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

My weird path to #infosec High school (dropout) Filled house with obsolete computers Learned about Unix, programming Discovered OpenBSD, became enamoured Gained confidence to submit patches Became #OpenBSD developer 🐡 I don't work in infosec And that's how I began to love pizza 🍕

The in-tree LLVM libc++, libc++abi, compiler-rt, libunwind libraries were updated to 19.1.7 in #OpenBSD -current, bringing them in-line w/ the base version of LLVM/clang. Heads up: This has major library cranks, so it's recommended to wait for new snapshots and packages. marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

Drop some hats

I think about this a lot

Thanks, friends. 🍕

OpenSSH will now adapt IP QoS to actual sessions and traffic www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=a... #openbsd #openssh #ssh #qos #adaptive #networking #security #qualityofservice

Call for testing from Kirill A. Korinsky (kirill@) for uvideo(4) / USB webcams in #OpenBSD -current! "the latest snapshots for amd64 and arm64 (...) include my recent changes to add support for H.264 streams from USB webcams." marc.info?l=openbsd-mi...

Good news for CAD software users, #FreeCAD (1.0.1) is now in the #OpenBSD -current ports tree. A huge effort by Johannes Thyssen Tishman (jtt@) and others porters getting this committed. marc.info?l=openbsd-po...

OpenBSD -current has a new driver for AMD machines, amdpmc(4), similar to intelpmc(4), for power management control needed to enter even lower power idle states during suspend-to-idle (S0i), which #OpenBSD has began supporting since 7.6.

Stefan Sperling (stsp@) has added initial 802.11n support to the #OpenBSD qwx(4) driver for Qualcomm ath11k wireless devices. marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... qwx(4) is found on machines like the ThinkPad x13s.

saw an ad that said "give up sugar" 😭​ it called me sugar

Heads up, several #OpenSSH IPQoS changes have landed in #OpenBSD -current. The default for interactive sessions becomes EF (Expedited Forwarding), as well as a deprecation for older IPv4 "type-of-service" (TOS) IPQoS keywords. marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

#OpenBSD/arm64 now supports the ARM "System Control and Management Interface" for CPU performance control, and speed reporting (hw.cpuspeed), via the smci(4) driver. This is used to implement apmd(8), hw.perfpolicy/hw.setperf on Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite machines. marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

That's a lot of pizzas. Congrats to the folks' at oxide.

Antoine Jacoutot (ajacoutot@) imported CDE (Common Desktop Environment) into #OpenBSD -current ports today, please desktop responsibly.

I could really use some help getting by, monthly donations have dropped off lately which has made things difficult. 😔

Pauly Shore thanked me for the mad props once.

As a follow-up to the new profil(2), riding the most recent wave of base system library cranks, Theo de Raadt & Yuichiro NAITO have added thread-aware profiling support to #OpenBSD -current! marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...
