Tests would be very welcome on any ix(4) device.
Happy Mother's Day!

Heads up: #OpenBSD snapshots that are rolling out now for some architectures (e.g: amd64) are post-7.9 release, -current development has resumed, be aware. 
If you sysupgrade -s now, downgrading to the 7.9 release when it releases later this month, is NOT supported.
I think it's time for some #OpenBSD #79HYPE 
After ~21 years, gcc 3.x has left the building, with the last remaining platform (OpenBSD/luna88k) ported to gcc4.

To the person who sent me some cozy socks, thank-you! 
Don't worry, no feet pics. 
Bryan SteeleIn addition to funding open source projects you use, if you can, consider extending support to the individual contributors/developers personally who work on those projects, many are volunteers and even a small monthly contribution could mean the difference. 🫶
