#openbsd tinkerer and hobby brewer
I should really try to write down all the small projects I have at home to be able to focus on them a bit better. I wonder why I never learn this. Bhyve + TPM, Gentoo + zroot, update the mud codebase. Try the 8bitdo Lite 2 in OpenBSD. Learn hotplugd in OpenBSD. Some day I might be able to document all the things I tinker with also.
Okey from time to time, I jump between projects here. Last 2 evenings I have thought "Hey, lets try Linux again" I havnt really used it in years on hardware and since Im getting SPI Timeout (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283706 <-- please fix this) in #FreeBSD 15 on my macbookpro13.2. So I have the hardware, but not to self, have more time since if you wanna use Gentoo and have zroot you cant be tired since there will be alot of reading going on and you will not be able to follow it ๐Ÿ˜‚โ€‹ oh well I will try to see if I can get a bit further tomorrow or jump to something else.

Has anyone tried getting a Windows 11 VM running with tpm 2.0 on #bhyve and #freebsd 15?
I wonder why itโ€™s so heated topic when it comes to X11 and Wayland? I just asked here to see if anyone had run it on openbsd as a daily driver, to see what I could expect if I wanted to try it out. I never said I preferred Wayland over Xorg or anything just wanted to test it out to see how it is since I have never used it before. The thing I have read so far is that Wayland handles scaling of different monitors better than X11 and that peaked my curiosity. Since I run OpenBSD at work and different monitors and projectors around our company. Strange world we live in. Ainโ€™t we out here just trying to use the best software we can find or come up with to make life easier on us?
Anyone out there running wayland on #openbsd, as a daily driver that have written anything about it?
So I got back to tinkering with #FreeBSD on my macbookpro13.2 but today I notice way to many SPI timeout to be able to really doing something with it. So I will pause this project for now. Since some said "Why not run rustdesk in Linux VM" and my mind went to a blog post about running a small Linux vm in vmm and then install random software that cant run on openbsd and then just use ssh with X11 forwarding. So lets see if we can get this running that way.
docker containers should not be the default way to run your open source software.

it's like asking contributors to edit files in your favorite text editor only... and your text editor is microsoft word
We have this system called yealink here at work. Its a usb dongle you use to connect to our projectors. Today will be the first time Im hosting a meeting since I changed to running #OpenBSD at work. So I had to go and see if it works and yes it works out of the box. Another thing I have checked off my list of things that need to work on openbsd to be able to use it at work.
So far I have gotten #FreeBSD installed on the macbookpro and wayland and sway seem to work. I will start having a look at the other software I use to see what more I can get running on that machine, but that will have to happen tomorrow. Starting to become hard to decide what to bring on the vacation this time around.
Okey, since I now can use #OpenBSD at work lets give #FreeBSD and Wayland a try on my old macbookpro 13.2 to see what works.
