I had promised I would try BSD on the ThinkPad 14s Gen 6. Well, #OpenBSD 7.7/arm64 -current from snapshot¹ dated 7th August 2025 installs from USB in no time (as every other OpenBSD install) and, well, I am so pleased.

No WiFi, etc. etc. but hey, this is wonderful :) I'll grab my USB NIC so that I can try to upgrade and install the firmware.

Thank you #OpenBSD team :)

If you provide software for running on servers and the documentation in the manual pages is only a subset of the documentation on some cookie-requiring web site, then you're doing documentation wrong.

It's actually better to provide NO documentation in a man file, and instead point to a web site, than provide something that LOOKS complete, but isn't.

Also, man files should have authors which should be actual human beings, because it's relevant to know who actually wrote something.

Remember that pie charts have their uses!
