gyptazy.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
No matter how often I install #OpenBSD the installer is dead simple and works well. Gotta say thank you to the dev's here.
Besides the fact that the code is really clean 🙂
Just curious... Can a #deltachat chatmail relay run on the BSDs? I'm guessing it can't coexist with a mail server already on a system due to the ports being used but it could be installed, say in a #freebsd jail or perhaps on another #openbsd system?

If any of my past work on #OpenBSD, or my highlight posts here (or elsewhere) has been helpful, a small recurring monthly donation would be extremely appreciated.

The first step towards #OpenBSD #WPA3 support is ready for testing. Protected management frames in several drivers: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=176384730328962&w=2
Thanks to @nlnet for making this effort possible. Doing open source work such as this would be pretty much impossible for me without funding.
Does anyone manage to use the #keyboard media controls in #FreeBSD #Xorg? I have a DasKeyboard with a volume jog that works out of the box on #OpenBSD.
The events seems to be working using xev tester. It regognizes the RaiseVolume and LowerVolume events.
Not sure where to actually start looking for a solution.
With my release of #recordctl v0.3 for #OpenBSD, I'm looking for testers and feedback. I've developed it to scratch my own itch and am using it to simplify a number of my personal scripts, as now documented in the README:
https://github.com/morgant/recordctl?tab=readme-ov-file#but-why
I spent a lot of time thinking about and _documenting_ the functionality for this release, especially the recordctl(8) manual page. While that was primarily for further practice editing manual pages, I'm curious if there's interest in a port/package.
The #OpenBSD 7.8 release for #Intel #Apple Macs with the ACPI timeout related "slow boot" issue is on its way to the interwebz. As soon as my painfully slow broadband ¹ finishes and then @h3artbl33d has a spare moment to copy it over to the release dir, it will be up on https://mirror.openbsdonapple.wiki/pub/OpenBSD/7.8/amd64/
This adds the latest patch for libunwind from the OpenBSD 7.8 errata.
¹ Narrowband?
Installing #openbsd is easy, but what does it take to keep your system in trim? here is a piece I wrote, "You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks." https://nxdomain.no/~peter/openbsd_installed_now_for_the_daily_tasks.html to provide some pointers (also at https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2024/09/you-have-installed-openbsd-now-for.html if tracking is not a thing you worry about) #maintenance #sysadmin #dailytasks #dailydriver
We just provide #BSD like #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd #dragonflybsd #midnightbsd and several other ones, but also #opensolaris with #tribblix #omnios #openindiana. So, we’re also pretty niche and that’s totally fine ;)
Static Web Hosting on the Intel N150: FreeBSD, SmartOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux Compared

🐡 Why are you (still) using OpenBSD? // @joel
https://www.tumfatig.net/2025/why-are-you-still-using-openbsd/
We may have been a bit silent - but for good reason, since we are working behind the scenes to improve our infrastructure 
For instance, we now operate our own nameservers (rather than using those of friendlies). And we've kicked a mailserver online dedicated to Exquisite:
$ dig +short exquisite.social ns
ns1.exqinfra.nl.
ns2.exqinfra.nl.
ns3.exqinfra.nl.
dig +short exquisite.social mx
10 mx1.exqinfra.nl.
Naturally, it does run #OpenBSD
The nameservers are configured with nsd and the mailserver uses Stalwart.
More goodies to follow in the upcoming weeks
