AKA canadianbryan. I like tinkering with #OpenBSD and occasionally other Unix-like systems. In other words, not a MCP. He/Him. 🍕💻🇨🇦

Not great timing, I know, but I'm thinking a Intel mini PC (e.g: N150, 11th Gen i5/i7) would work for my #OpenBSD testing & hacking, Any help towards this would be greatly appreciated.

Hope my fellow #OpenBSD developers are having an amazing time this week at the #g2k26 #hackathon in Kloosterburen (The Netherlands)! ​

#OpenBSD -current has cranked the kernel virtual address space (VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS) on amd64 from 4GB to 512GB (one PML4 entry with 4-level paging).

Good news for people with AMD Radeon GPUs with lots of VRAM.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there that don't ghost their children throughout their entire adult life.
@sblaydes No worries, Scott. 

The first ever successful SAE message exchange between #OpenBSD (iwx driver) and linux hostapd has occurred. There is still some work left do but the hard part is done!

(EDIT: By the way, this exchange was using the randomly chosen secret numbers 2 and 3. Don't tell anyone!)

I could really use a few extra pizzas this month, friends. 

Hope all my *BSD friends visiting Canada for #BSDCan this week have fun in Ottawa! 

... but not too much fun. 

Years ago, there was a BSD search page at google dot com/bsd (long gone), amusingly, the custom logo is still hosted on Google's servers.

@lattera pledge(2) always used const char *promises, never a bitmask. That was tame(2). The second argument has changed since introduced in 5.9, but it was unused.

There are indeed quite a lot of differences in this, besides some overlap in promise names, it doesn't implement OpenBSD's pledge.

At the very least, it would be nice to avoid a similar situation to NetBSD's infamously incompatible strnvis(3).
