    I cleaned a few things up on my compositor and wrote up install instructions for if anyone was curious after my talk:

    git.sr.ht/~phaedrus/Xuake

    If you do try to get it working, let me know. If you are an international user and want the keyboard layout to be configurable, then especially let me know; that will jump that to top priority. (And writing that sentence might get it updated this week, anyway.)

                Currently installing on a new-to-me resource constrained laptop because I know it will be stable, and fast enough for my needs. Acer Swift 3 with Pentium N5000 and 4GB of soldered RAM. The Intel WiFi is slow, the keyboard isn't backlit, but it has a gorgeous 14" IPS 1080p display and it's fanless so it's completely silent. It's the perfect bedside laptop.

                It has a tiny and slow 64GB eMMC main storage but it has an M.2 slot as well (sadly only SATA, no NVMe support) so I chucked in a 1TB drive I had lying around. It's overkill for OpenBSD but it was free and available. Battery life is astounding especially considering the laptop is about seven years old at this point; in Windows 10 it was getting a good 8 hours of actual use browsing the web and light gaming. I expect 4-6 hours with OpenBSD.

                I'm leaving Windows on the eMMC so I can fix the BIOS when necessary; it has a tendency to randomly corrupt itself after booting any non-Windows OS and the BIOS recovery utility is Windows-only. That's honestly the only flaw I've found on this otherwise neat little machine.

                          Going to start documenting the exact process of following current on as some important bits seem to be missing from the docs like for instance how you check your kernel version to see if it has current appended to the version or not. Like I mentioned earlier the undeadly docs say you can now drop the -Dsnap option on pkg_add and pkg_info but it appears that that is not the case until say 7.8 is released. I'm not saying there's lots missing from the docs just small things that would help the user like me help and find out things for myself. So I may yet make a small blog post at some point o this subject.
                          I still love OpenBSD though it's strangely exciting. :openbsd:

                              Something not right here. I am on the latest snapshot and have being using -Dsnap since I was told in undeadly. The snapshot for amd64 is dated 8th october the same date as the message in undeadly. So I'm wondering if I need to wait for the next snapshot before dropping the -Dsnap ?? Because if I try it now it gives me a weird error. I am on current too ???

                                I'm running current and have just updated as of today using the amd64 snapshot dated 8th and I noticed this on undeadly.
                                Jonathan Gray (jsg@) updated the version of OpenBSD -current from "7.8" to "7.8-current".
                                Those running the latest-and-greatest [via a sufficiently new snapshot or built from source] no longer need to use "-D snap" with pkg_add(1) (and pkg_info(1)).
                                At the moment I am updating packages with the -Dsnap option. Does that post mean that I can stop using that option right now or should I wait ???

                                  In Zagreb, I realized my 2021 MacBook Pro M1 is starting to show its age. The battery life is shorter and the system seems slower than it was at the beginning, perhaps also due to the latest OS version. Yesterday, I used the "new" Acer with openSUSE Tumbleweed, running KDE Plasma. It's small, I paid about 500 euros for it, and it has a good monitor, but the battery life is poor, and that's the main reason I still primarily use the Mac. And yet, it gave me a greater sense of speed than the Mac. When one of the BSDs works well enough on this laptop (mainly suspend/resume), it will probably become my daily driver on the go. I need to try OpenBSD 7.8 as soon as it will be out.
                                  it might have some surprises in store for me.

                                                        Unless your goal is lock-in. Vendor lock-in. And in this case that vendor is you. Because let's face it, even in IT, OpenBSD is quite niche and FreeBSD is already niche enough.
