New #blog post alert!

I muse about research some of my grad students and I did around independently evaluating some #OpenBSD anti-ROP mitigations, and I bid farewell to being an OpenBSD developer.

couldn't find anything better than #thinkpad for #openbsd, but still shopping around...

let me know if you can recommend anything else.

I've moved some of my currently active repositories over to Game of Trees Hub! 🌳

GoTHub is a transparently funded Git/Got repository hosting service - lightweight, BSD-licensed, and a great minimalist alternative to the big tech.

Check it out: https://rsadowski.gothub.org/

Packing for a move. It's exciting to see what you find in the cellar. #History of #OpenBSD

OK, so #AI #bots have managed to bypass #Anubis - again. How much is the AI DDoS by now? So much that the Linux kernel can’t handle it anymore:

nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet

And yes, this is seconds after rebooting the VM even.

This is insane.

OK, that’s it. Let’s shut down the internet, there is no point anymore. AI bots have destroyed it completely, there is no point in keeping iy anymore.

Kudos to Robert Nagy (robert@). Without much fuss, he committed OpenWV and enabled Widevine support in Chromium. Now we can all enjoy Netflix, Disney+, and other DRM content on #OpenBSD.

I nearly forgot to wish those that celebrate a very happy OpenBSDmas too. 😉

I hope you all had a good start to the new year. For my part, I am looking forward to 2026! Every year can be the best year ever. It's up to you!

2025 was a year in which I wrote more than I had done in a long time. I am considering continuing to do so. Perhaps in a slightly different way. I would like to use this blog more to summaries what I am learning during a month or events.

The travel list has also grown this year and welcomed a new guest with Japan.
