A quick shout-out to the #OpenBSD team for a fantastic release.

Upgrading was, as always, smooth.

The only thing I had issues with were notoriously needy packages and some bespoke problems of my own making.

Good news for Apple T2 Mac owners, joshua stein (jcs@) has committed a fix to #OpenBSD -current for the T2 NVMe controller found on later Intel machines.

jcs@ modified src/sys/*: use I/O submission queue entry size reported by controller

On the Apple T2 NVMe, 128-byte submission queue entries on I/O queues are required instead of the standard 64 bytes.

ok jmatthew

This gets NVMe working on the 2018 Mac Mini.

🐡 OpenBSD 7.9 arrives, a diamond in the rough proud of every sharp edge

｢ It has its own X11 server, Xenocara, based on X.org 7.7 and Xserver 21.1.21, but you can also run XLibre with some manual effort, and some desktops support Wayland. There is also a downstream project to build a live bootable medium called FuguIta, although it hasn't caught up with the new release just yet ｣

Some  red devil and  yellow fish are now secretly talking to each through a #WireGuard tunnel on the Internet. Glad it is not that complicated to setup and works OOTB.
