As the next release is slowly cooking, I'd like to mention an artist that I love: @pmjv, or prahou. He's been dedicated to submitting awesome artwork about his universe, here at /c/unix_surrealism, which features many openbsd related comics (puffy being an important protagonist).

I was thus wondering how an artist could pretend at submitting an artwork for the next release ? Is it a shortlist ? Do you simply upload some on the mail list ?

Hi everyone! I'm planning on getting a split keyboard to replace my planck, but I don't have a soldering iron.

What are my options ? Ideally I want:

• DIY, no soldering involved
• QMK firmware
• 40% format

The keyboard I'm leaning toward is the let's split as it's a planck split in two halves, but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can't.

Hey everyone !

With so many people stuck at 200 points on the board, I'm wondering if the chapter 2 isn't too "abstract" ?

The Cyb3r Hunt is meant to be challenging, but it shouldn't discourage players because they can't figure out what to do.

For those that went past it, did you find the solution sketchy ? Did it all make sense, or you went past it without really understanding what all these files were for ?

For those stuck, where are you stuck at (please use a spoiler tag) ?

I'm considering removing some files I consider "optional", and changing the hint to make it less like a guessing game as to what to do.

Any opinions on this ?

I've been working on this project for over a year now, and I'm sure many people here will like it !

This is a game where the player must complete technical challenges about various technologies (programming, cryptography, networking, etc...) to progress through the story. It puts the Unix family under the light, and features many opensource technologies all running on a single server!

Check out the about page for details, and happy hunting !

Just spreading love for sysupgrade(8). I had a private server running 7.2 dutyfully serving a PHP software for a local organisation for the past 4 years.

Our provider suffered an outage which brought the server down for a few hours. When it got back up, I decided to use this outage to upgrade it to 7.4.

Two sysupgrade and one pkg_add -u later, the server is up and running again, without further intervention needed.

I did it all from my phone, in a train with a a laggy connection.

Thanks OpenBSD for caring this much about your users ! 🐡♥️

Until the hunt opens, check out the Guest book !

Came back from a trip in Corsica where we climb the most mental slab I've ever put my hands on !

On the 19th of January [...] The admin team was helpless. In the split of a second, the whole CYBFARM network went down. Every subsystem on the planet stopped, and there was nothing they could do against it. The CYBFARM has always been autonomous, and nobody had enough knowledges of its internals to debug or fix anything.

Hopefully, a few minutes later, the first system came back up: the security module. Then other subsystems rebooted one after the others, and the production of goods restarted as expected.

We later found that an overflow occurred in the system clock. This caused a disruption of the internal message bus of the CYBFARM, which entered a locked state, and shut itself down to prevent harming the subsystems. The CYBFARM eventually found and patched the bug automatically, without any external intervention from our part. This was the first time in History that [an autonomous system] healed itself without human action!

This is such a major milestone in History!

Case stared at the old laptop.

Is it broken ?

Molly closed the lid, and put it next the others, all destroyed by the CYBFARM security module.

There must be a way to bypass it...
