C'est pas illégal de le demander à ton/ta collègue cela dit.

 

As the next release is slowly cooking, I'd like to mention an artist that I love: @pmjv, or prahou. He's been dedicated to submitting awesome artwork about his universe, here at /c/unix_surrealism, which features many openbsd related comics (puffy being an important protagonist).

I was thus wondering how an artist could pretend at submitting an artwork for the next release ? Is it a shortlist ? Do you simply upload some on the mail list ?

My dear friend, this is (again!) some beautiful art you got there ! This could easily be the artwork for openbsd 7.6 ! If you don't mind me I'd like to mention it on /c/openbsd so your work doesn't go unnoticed? :D

I cannot speak for prahou, but I'm fairly sure we both agree on this:

  • Codebase is clean and lean
  • Security is a first grade citizen
  • Dev team is not afraid to call stuff obsolete and remove/replace stuff
  • It's a full operating system, not just a kernel that you need to build on top of before distributing it
  • Config files syntax is cohérent across the whole OS
  • ~~master~~ Puffy rocks.

We call them crowdstals down there. They used to only target ancients NT kernels but apparently they evolved to infect other environments. Eh, nature.

Nope. But I'm eager to know how you can be so confident saying that ? (FYI the WiFi is served by a hotspot from my phone, which uses a randomized MAC address)

Oh I love this style <3 It's refreshing and yet so comforting because it's still girl :D

You don't have any plugins on surf. I personally use a DNS based ad blocker.

It is usable for me, I don't have issues.

Gotta punch holes in the screen and hammer the keyboard a bit haha. But remember friends, Hardware is forever.

Hi everyone! I'm planning on getting a split keyboard to replace my planck, but I don't have a soldering iron.

What are my options ? Ideally I want:

  • DIY, no soldering involved
  • QMK firmware
  • 40% format

The keyboard I'm leaning toward is the let's split as it's a planck split in two halves, but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can't.

 

Hey everyone !

With so many people stuck at 200 points on the board, I'm wondering if the chapter 2 isn't too "abstract" ?

The Cyb3r Hunt is meant to be challenging, but it shouldn't discourage players because they can't figure out what to do.

For those that went past it, did you find the solution sketchy ? Did it all make sense, or you went past it without really understanding what all these files were for ?

For those stuck, where are you stuck at (please use a spoiler tag) ?

I'm considering removing some files I consider "optional", and changing the hint to make it less like a guessing game as to what to do.

Any opinions on this ?

 

I've been working on this project for over a year now, and I'm sure many people here will like it !

This is a game where the player must complete technical challenges about various technologies (programming, cryptography, networking, etc...) to progress through the story. It puts the Unix family under the light, and features many opensource technologies all running on a single server!

Check out the about page for details, and happy hunting !

 

Bonjour amis technophiles !

J'avais déjà teasé ce projet il y a 15 jours, et ça y est, le jeu démarre aujourd'hui ! Il reste encore de la place sur le tableau des scores donc c'est le moment de plonger dans cette aventure dystopique et de mettre vos compétences techniques à rude épreuve !

 

Over the past year, I've created technical adventure for people eager to challenge their skill and knowledge about many technical fields, while also having fun !

Programming, version control, command line, network protocols, cryptography, steganography, games, … Thorough the game you'll switch from decades old to state of the art technologies, and use it all to progress through a dystopian story happening around the 2^nd^ Epochalypse.

Get your systems ready, and hope that you'll be done with it before the Advent of Code starts, because you will probably not handle both at the same time ;)

Just spreading love for sysupgrade(8). I had a private server running 7.2 dutyfully serving a PHP software for a local organisation for the past 4 years.

Our provider suffered an outage which brought the server down for a few hours. When it got back up, I decided to use this outage to upgrade it to 7.4.

Two sysupgrade and one pkg_add -u later, the server is up and running again, without further intervention needed.

I did it all from my phone, in a train with a a laggy connection.

Thanks OpenBSD for caring this much about your users ! 🐡♥️

The CYB3R HUNT is a game of which you are the hero.

Set in a dystopian future, you are a CYBER HUNTER scavenging supplies from the CYBFARM, a network of automated farms and factories controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence.

Work your way through the puzzles set by the CYBFARM, earn "flags" to update your score, and discover the History of this world as your quest unfolds!

The hunt opens on the 31^st^ of october. Meanwhile, you can look for the Guest book and try to post a message there!
