It was a great opportunity to define net.ipv{6,4}.ip_nonlocal_bind so nginx(8) at thebus.top finally starts at boot without error because it has network but no IP defined. Once again systemd doing its stuff -_-'
.Xresources but I can't find out if it matters whether a line has capitals or all lowercase. For example:XTerm*faceSize: 10
is this just the same does it not matter ?
xterm*faceSize: 10
Sorry but if it does not matter, if I start XTerm or xterm then that's good as having both just now plays on my OCD. :D

Most of their re-implementation of already existing software is more pragmatic, and straight to the point. There is a reason why so many OpenBSD tools end up in "portable" versions for other OSes 🙂 That makes it very likeable.
Heads up: Multiple Security Issues in GNU Screen - mostly affecting release
5.0.0 and setuid-root installations (Local Root Exploit and others) https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/05/12/1
I will try http/3 on the server once Trixie is out though !
Let the fun begin!

@stefano Is this a intel N100 type or similar?
Mine Runs Freebsd out of the box…
Have fun
...
@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe oo! what's the specs on that machine?
...
@puppygirlhornypost2 it's an Intel N150 - 12 GB DDR5 Ram - 256 GB SSD (or NVMe - still unsure). 2 1 Gbit ports.
I had it for less than 130 euros (new) and I'll test if it can be a full workstation (for some browsing, LibreOffice, etc) or "Just" a small server.
I have three potential use cases - as my desktop at the office (as I don't work from the office that often), as a workstation or server for a client or for a workstation for my parents.

@mascal I'm trying some desktop experience with OpenSuse - it's incredibly fast!
Added Webmention support for links (Markdown-style or direct) written in a post.
Added new command-line options for list maintenance.
Display custom emoji in more places (contributed by dandelions).
Mastodon API: fixed infinite scroll in many clients (thanks to cheeaun for giving me the clue), added /api/v1/accounts/.../lists endpoint (contributed by dandelions).
Email notifications can now be sent via libcurl SMTP instead of spawning the /usr/sbin/sendmail program. To use this new feature, some additional server configuration is needed, see snac(8) (contributed by shtrophic).
If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.

@grunfink if this post originated from grunfink i'm just flagging for you that the "type" property of your media attachments is not set properly
...
I'll take a look at it, thanks for reporting.
...
@grunfink in mastodon (not necessarily ActivityPub) "link" is not a valid value for a MediaAttachment
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/MediaAttachment/#type
@grunfink something up with how phanpy displays links now
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.76 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28373
GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks passed!
It's up to someone else with write access to merge it.
Thanks to you and dandelions and shtrophic (and anyone else I may have missed) for the continued contributions and improvements!

ifconfig(8) and especially the /etc/ifconfig.<interface_name> configuration system ❤️I'm not disappointed by the result, it still could be used as a semi dumb terminal for ssh(1). The memory usage is low because I deactivated all services but cron(8); it may be lower with a tailored kernel, but I don't mind 🙂

I couldn't test the parallel, pcmcia ports, but all the rest just work, I even took the luxury to try adding urndis(4) but that doesn't play well with USB1. Well it's compensated by using yt-dlp(1) then ffplay2(1) successfully to play youtube audio on a 25 years old clunker.
I'm very impressed by build.sh, it's magic and hard to believe for the newcomer! I cross-compiled the NetBSD kernel from Linux/amd64 to NetBSD/i386 with ease thanks to the official docs and some wget(1) invocations to download sets.
I'll keep dearly my kernel config file derived from GENERIC_TINY. It has been the hard part ahah
How to change a password on a remote system... [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
On a BSD or Linux system?
SSH into it and use passwd(1), and done. The same command that has worked for decades.
On that Windows system over remote-desktop?
Some instructions will tell you to use control+alt+delete to get to the password-change screen. But that gets intercepted locally. So can't use that.
Other instructions will tell you to use the Accessibility settings to launch an on-screen keyboard with which you can enter the control-alt-delete to get to the password-change screen. But that doesn't seem to work when I just tested it.
As a third option, you can launch PowerShell, type
(New-Object -COM Shell.Application).WindowsSecurity()
and hit Enter. And that works reliably for me.
I'm glad Windows is such a consistent and user-friendly OS. 🙄
systemctl edit sorcery, disabling PrivateTmp, which is a bit meh.Don't ask me why I did it, especially that I don't need that much of throughput.
