So this asshole: https://github.com/toddr

Created an account to launder his Claude AI slop code: https://github.com/toddr-bot

So now an OpenBSD porter updates IO-Tty and it only compiles with clang. Not GCC. Neither the ancient GCC in base nor GCC 15.2.0 in ports.

fix: modernize function detection for FreeBSD/Clang compat by toddr-bot · Pull Request #41 · cpan-authors/IO-Tty

Summary The old autoconf-style function detection in Makefile.PL used char $f () forward declarations that conflict with actual prototypes from system headers on modern compilers (especially on Fre...

I saw the quote on my feed a month ago or so but lost the link. I had to make it a hazard sign...

I don't suppose that I have any #bsd #unix #foss #infosec friends out there willing to signal boost, by chance? ​

I could use some help, friends. I'd really appreciate sharing. 

If you can help out with the occasional pizza, that would really mean a lot to me. Monthly gifts would take care of a lot of my financial stress/anxiety as well.

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.

Dave Voutila (dv@) continues his work on multi-process device emulation for #OpenBSD vmd(8), this time moving virtio scsi (CDROM) device emulation to a separate process, further reducing the amount of code running in-process for VMs.

dv@ modified src/usr.sbin/vmd/*: vmd(8): convert virtio scsi device to a subprocess.

Break the virtio scsi device (used as a cd-rom drive) into a subprocess like the virtio block and network devices. This leaves only the entropy device (viornd) and vmmci device running in-process with the vcpus.

This follows up on work presented by Dave at EuroBSDCon 2024.

"some of these people are significantly removed from the conversation"

i just learned a new insult that i think i have to use more often in the future

Maybe I should have gotten it to see how many times I could send a picture of the empty jar and said "Broken under normal usage conditions"
