#signal client Gurk [1] compiles and seems to run fine on #OpenBSD (I did not try to connect as I'm not a Signal user).

You can give it a try with:

• doas pkg_add rust gmake protobuf
• cargo install --git https://github.com/boxdot/gurk-rs gurk

Run ~/.cargo/bin/gurk

I did something to my OpenBSD system that feel very wrong. :flan_evil:

Did you ever get bored of ffs filesystem?

• clean /home/
• create a qcow2 disk in /home that take all its space
• install alpine linux on that disk using btrfs
• export a directory from alpine linux over NFS
• mount your user home directory using NFS
• enjoy frankenbtrfs on your OpenBSD :flan_thumbs:

(one can enable compression and deduplication on btrfs)

@OpenBSDAms hi, as the VMs are in Amsterdam, do you know what logging policy we should have as customers to be compliant with law? (retention, information etc..)

I'm proud and happy to announce the first release of my project openbsd-check-outdated

It is a shell script scanning your installed packages and check on repology if a newer version exists.

https://git.sr.ht/~solene/openbsd-check-outdated

You need a checkout of the ports tree, jq and curl to make it work.

I wrote it because I prefer to update packages I actually use than random packages I don't care about.

I have my ticket for EuroBSDCon 2024 :flan_sf:

This will be my first time ever at an event.

Any idea what this is? I found it in my cable drawer, I don't know what it is and which hardware came bundled with it :flan_eyes_narrowed:

I'm planning to try RustDesk to help family with computers, teamviewer sucks too much now

is the selfhosted version working reliably? looking for feedback :flan_thumbs:

I started linux with Slackware, with a feeling of hand crafted

Then I moved to Debian to have something popular and solid.

After that, I used OpenBSD to learn Unix basics.

Then, I found NixOS and it taught me about purity.

I'm currently having fun with Qubes OS, providing me meta.

There were many other distros and OS in between, but I used these the most and each of them allowed me to discover a new facet of computing science.
