OpenBSD 7.9 is out!

YouTube

I just learned that my father, a retired medical doctor, has now more #linux computers running at home than myself.
Still have the upperhand in unix diversity with #freebsd and #openbsd though. But in rough numbers, he is ahead ;-)

I really like that. And it also shows that stuff isn't as hard as some people say it is. You just need to be interested and not afraid.

Did I say FreeBSD? I meant OpenBSD

#OpenBSD #DistroHopping

I'm very sad. Yesterday, the doctor told me my fracture needs special care and treatment. My wife and I urgently need vitamins that cost $90, and we truly cannot afford them right now. If anyone can help us, even a small donation would mean so much to us. 🙏

Router upgrade day.

$ uname -a
OpenBSD router.home.perkin.org.uk 7.9 GENERIC#190 octeon

Pretty painless sysupgrade. Nice. Still need to upgrade this host to something a bit more modern though, I'm sure having everything run off of:

umass0 at uhub0 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "SanDisk' Cruzer Fit" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 2
sd0: 15264MB, 512 bytes/sector, 31260672 sectors

is going to bite me one day, and upgrading is slooooow! N150 still a reasonable choice?

One thing that I love about #OpenBSD's sysupgrade is the separation of the downloading stage, verification and actual upgrade.

It is without thrills, just works and reduces interruption of services down to under a minute for me.

And the devs have kept this up for heck of a long time for now. Thanks!

By the way:

You're looking for some blatant error from objdump. The point of those flags is to make it attempt to read all of the elements of the ELF file structure, using their recorded lengths, not to actually analyse them in detail.

The boot loader is reading just a block of bytes, so you're looking for a failure where objdump gets an error likewise trying to read an entire ELF section from file, not in the details of what it dumps out interpreting the contents of those sections.

There are ways in which you doing objdump from within a booted operating system is going to cut out some possible root causes for the error. You won't be relying upon the firmware's I/O services, for starters. But it's mystifying how one could get errno 255 via that route, and it seems unlikely that's your problem because you say that it's only changing the kernel that makes the difference on the machine.
