I don't suppose I have any #openbsd #infosec #opensource (or #bitcoin millionaire) friends out there willing to signal boost, by chance? I'd appreciate it.🐡 You'd really be helping me out a lot. 💕 #HelpSky #MutualAid

Feeling cold, need warm pizzas, thinkpads or socks. 😔

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) is sounding the alarm on the proposed government surveillance law – Bill C-22. If passed, Bill C-22 would put everyone's privacy and digital security at risk. Read our full alert and sign our petition below: ccla.org/take-action/...

#LibreSSL 4.4.0 "eMudhra? We barely eNudrha!" released today. cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/... * LibreSSL releases, officially, still have no taglines or codenames. 😞

The new dbupdate(8) utility is being backported and released as a syspatch(8) update for #OpenBSD 7.9/8.0. This will make it easier for users to periodically update /etc/ssl/cert.pem and /usr/share/zoneinfo. It's also available as an errata patch: www.openbsd.org/errata80.htm... #eMudhra

dbupdate(8) added to -current www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=a... #openbsd #dbupdate #zoneinfo #cert #certificates

OpenBSD 8.0 release song? Oh yes— there's a release song.. 😏 "The Simps on AI" www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#80

It's close to that time again.. if you're looking for some OpenBSD #80HYPE I have a summary post over on the fediverse, which allows more longform posts. 😎 #OpenBSD 8.0 releases later this month!

linux situation must be dire if people are considering switching to operating systems with no browser sandboxing in 2026. 😉

why is every kettle named phillip? because phillip the kettle :3

Heads up, Theo de Raadt has committed some additional tightening of setuid/setgid programs in #OpenBSD -current. marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... "If [a binary] has become setuid/setgid accidentally, unintentionally, or due to attacker control, and libc will log the event and abort."

If that wasn't enough, Thomas (thfr@) is now live streaming The Witcher 3 Remastered.. again, on #OpenBSD. 😉 #PlayOnBSD

I'd really appreciate some reposts this week, if you could. Thanks! 🍕🫶 #HelpSky #MutualAid #foss #opensource

Since this question has came up recently, despite Googlebook machines using Snapdragon chips like other Windows 10/11 ARM laptops, they are more like other Android devices (w/ fastboot, Android recovery). These are not UEFI machines, do not buy expecting to boot OpenBSD on them.

Sorry I was busy starting my VisionQuest. 😌

Oh yeah btw, Thomas Frohwein (thfr@) is currently streaming some Death Stranding on #OpenBSD. 😉 #PlayOnBSD

The RTL8127 10GbE devices added to rge(4) last year now support RSS/multiqueue and TSO in #OpenBSD -current, thanks to kevlo@! 🐡 marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

It's a long-standing, and totally not made up, tradition to send a Canadian a pizza on this day.. 😌 👀

Hope all my fellow Canadian friends have a happy Thanksgiving weekend. 😊🇨🇦

Sad news for macOS #OpenSSH users.. :\ "sshd(8): On OS X SDK >= 27, sandboxing is no longer supported as the API we depended upon has been removed and no obvious alternative provided."

OpenSSH 10.6 has just been released. This release contains fixes for a few security problems, some new features - including support for a post-quantum signature scheme, and the usual sprinkling of bugfixes www.openssh.org/releasenotes...

#OpenBSD -current now has a new network driver for USB CDC NCM, uncm(4) is used for tethering modern Android phones. 🐡 marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

< user1> oh fun, linux has an unauth RCE < anon> It has a lot of other great features, too.

Spurred by a report by Franz Bettag, Theo de Raadt has shared some interesting commentary on isakmpd(8), OpenBSD's older IKEv1 protocol daemon. marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... Users are advised to switch to better options such as IKEv2 iked(8) if possible. #IPSec

Looks like some people stumbled upon the one Bluesky Starter pack I'm in (sorry I'm not a holographic). 😅 Hi! My posts are mostly about OpenBSD.. and pizza. 🍕🐡

Hey money havers, go support this #indie published #author. Buy his new Christmas #horror book. The digital copy is even #DRM free (epub and mobi). (Did I add enough hashtags?)

Spooky season has arrived! 🔪🎃 Share something spooky, scary, or creepy to kick off the month 🖤

Some more good progress on Qualcomm X2 Elite, Tobias Heider (tobhe@) just committed a fix to #OpenBSD -current for PCIe NVMe controllers on these machines. 👍 "This fixes a timeout in dwpcie_atu_config and makes the NVME attach on my HP Elitebook X G2q." marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...

Heads up from naddy@, "We're rapidly approaching the [#OpenBSD] 8.0 release." "[...] if you want to make sure that your favorite applications work in the release, the time to test snapshot packages is NOW."

$2500/month would go a long way towards solving a lot of my problems. 😔 I get CAD ~$500 spread out over the month in small amounts thanks to the generosity and kindness of strangers. I'd really love to be able to focus more on open source & worry less about food, bills & rent. #opensource #helpsky

A friendly reminder for #OpenBSD -current users, you'll need to use 'pkg_add -Dsnap ...' with upcoming snapshots as once again the project enters release mode for 8.0. 🐡 marc.info?l=openbsd-cv... The -beta tag has been dropped.

New v4 IP for my domain, might take some time to propagate. Sorry.

I submitted a funding.json entry to the floss.fund directory in the hopes it may steer some people to my wall of pizza. Fingers crossed. 🤞 🍕🐡
