okay im looking to go from linux to *bsd cause linux is turning into slop
is there any *bsd similar to alpine linux in nature, notably being lightweight and being easy enough to get used to after a while

#linux #bsd #noai #freebsd #openbsd

done some "pkg_add -u" maintenance on Tianve, my OpenBSD 7.9 box.
All is up to date now and well. Thanks to all working on the BSDs for this smooth experience!

I've got nothing.

20 new VMs were added and 46 VMs were renewed.

We donated ₮890 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, ₮67645 (!!) since we started.

Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!

Stay cool, safe, healthy & sane!

decided to order an external dac, hope it works with #openbsd :)

It's standardized to the extent that the escape sequences are valid, now. It's just up to the implementation to choose, from the two choices, and to document what they do.

With issue 7, using those escape sequences in a BRE would have made it ill-formed.

There's a fair amount of stuff in the world of POSIX and C and C++ where things are implementation-defined. It's a distinct thing from not actually being standardized.

The sad thing is that HP-UX will likely never be fixed. But #Illumos and #OpenBSD could be. They're both #HenrySpencer-derived, like #NetBSD and #FreeBSD, and dropping in that part of the Evans code for those three escape sequences wouldn't be that hard.

It would be interesting to trace the relationships, if any, between the twain.

Here's something for your doco: Pendleton's actual shar posting to comp.unix.wizards in 1988, complete with UUCP bang paths in the signature block.

Notice that Pendleton did VMS emulation before emacs.

Also note that the BSDs have cfmakeraw(3) available in the C library.

trying to get audio via hdmi on i5-1245u running #openbsd 7.9

it detects the intel hd audio and attaches azalia(4), but only the internal realtek alc257 codec is found.

there is no hdmi audio codec, no audio1, and mixerctl -a only shows the internal speaker/headphone outputs. the external display works over hdmi, but there is no way to select hdmi audio because no hdmi audio device is detected.

is hdmi audio expected to work with openbsd 7.9? if it should work, are there any additional diagnostics steps i should try?

If you can read this message from your own rock on the Fediverse ocean, it means this #GoToSocial bush has been properly upgraded to v0.22.0 Shrubby Sloth ðŸŒŋ while running on the unsupported #OpenBSD 7.9/amd64 platform using NOWASM and exposed through #relayd and #httpd.

The relay features have not been enabled, yet. Because I'd rather check that everything else work first. But they will, soon.

v0.22.0-rc1 Shrubby Sloth ðŸŒŋ - superseriousbusiness/gotosocial

Hello! Hello! Is it sloth you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes! Here's version 0.22.0 of GoToSocial, aka **Shrubby Sloth ðŸŒŋ**. This is a big feature release that contains support for **relay subscriptions** and **relay push connections**, a new instance **account directory**, **bett...
