How to Install OpenBSD (2027 Edition)

#OpenBSD #Linux #Install #MemeVideo

Just about every consumer facing operating system, search engine and service is using AI now to some extent. I’ve seen folks switching to #openbsd from Linux/Mac/Windows…but what about other services? Proton has AI, and damn near every internet search engine has AI, even the ones that claim to be private and secure. I’d be interested in hearing some realistic tech stacks and workflows that don’t involve tools with AI in them or created with the help of AI. If you are willing to share please comment.

I've been working on Guestlet for a few years now. It is a #hypervisor platform built on #opensource technologies. This is the first #blog post in a series that lays out the early decisions that were made.

Can someone give me the tl;Dr version of why folks don't like systemd? I don't know what it does or doesn't do compared to whatever the options are. #linux #fedora #homelab

They: "On a scale from 1 to 10: How lazy are you?"

Me: Using the copy fail exploit instead of sudo to avoid having to type my password

If you’re a Linux user looking to supercharge your workflow with a fast, customizable, and versatile launcher, look no further than Rofi. Rofi (short for "Runner Of Everything") is a lightweight, extensible tool that started as a window switcher but has evolved into a multi-purpose utility.

Oh, and @zeitkapsl have a #Linux desktop app and one for the command line!

(The desktop app only works as flatpak for me, the RPM has conflicts on my Fedora install).

(EDIT: Problem solved! With this reply https://techhub.social/@konform/116490565176455678)

Librewolf keeps opening the tabs that were opened last, even though I have this tickbox unchecked. I want a fresh session all the time. I never want it to restore anything ever - even if it crashed.

I was able to get this behaviour in my last setup, but I forgot what I did (recently I wiped my hard drive and did a fresh linux install).

Does anyone know how to get this behaviour?

So you read about #CopyFail, and are like… owww, shit. But then you see that it was responsibly disclosed after being fixed in main, we had releases since, they went stable in #Gentoo (over other #security fixes), so we should be good, right?

Except that it turns out that after it has been fixed in mainline, nobody bothered actually backporting the fix to all the LTS branches. And it doesn't apply cleanly (https://social.treehouse.systems/@thesamesam/116490971618284574). What a shitshow!

(And we've been only talking how 5.x don't get vulnerability fixes in time — but it turns out that anything but the latest is insecure to use!)

#Gentoo #Linux

#KDE #Linux #KDEConnect #computers #software

The exploit includes cpu-specific shell code (ELF). I have the toolchain working to build working shell code and the exploit binary on both Linux/86 and Linux/ARM, but the exploit doesn't work out of the box on ARM.

Anyone got further details if this vulnerability is only valid for x86?

BLUG, Bergen 2026-05-28: Social anarchic, mad, and misbehaving agents collaboratively solving tasks v/Bjarte Johansen

Bergen (BSD and) Linux User Group er tilbake!

@projectanchorage I would look at multiple options.
- If you're strictly stuck with i386 (not even i486) that means #NetBSD is propably the only choice.
- Depending on your goals, you may want to consider #OpenBSD or #386BSD (today's #FreeBSD).
- Not shure if #OpenSolaris / #illumos supported anything beyond #SPARC(v9 / SPARC64) & #amd64.

The question to me is whether or not old #BSD versions emcan even be built with midern toolchains and if choosing them isn't going to bite one in the ass down the line.
- The reason I choose #Linux for @OS1337 is because it's mature toolchain, drivers and hardware support.
- Tho you may rightfully argue that #OS1337 is just taking the #toybox / #musl + linux "distro" #mkroot and basically tries to make something out of it.

I can't decide whether I prefer z over regular cd.

z is "smart" it remembers what directories you've been to and will take you to what directory you want, even if you don't specify the path.

If you aren't in ~/ and type z Documents, you will go to ~/Documents, assuming either that's the only Documents, or it's the only folder with that name you frequently visit. It saves you from having to navigate up, or typing the whole absolute path.

I worry that with continued usage maybe I'd be prone to forgetting where things are though.

Been playing with Solus Linux recently. I like that things like installing Blender also pulls in AMD rocm clr and friends and gets Cycles support working without any real futzing around.

The Solus installer doesn't give a lot of filesystem options, err, perhaps more fairly, options that I like. No zfs and simple btrfs. I converted the root disk into a btrfs raid1 mirror after the fact but it would be cool if that was possible in the installer. Maybe I missed it. I can live with btrfs, I guess. Ha.

Running the Plasma spin (for now?). Will take a hard look at Qt based Budgie 11 when it comes out.

Very nice, polished distro. Thinking about putting it on my main box since I've got btrfs retroactive mirroring figured out. First time using (i.e. trusting) btrfs so maybe I should let some more water go under Solus' keel before going 'all in'.

Too bad Alpine doesn't have the same level of rocm support. I get it. It is what it is.
