• “OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems” hardcovers are here

  I’ll be packing Patronizer and sponsor books first, then complicated preorders, then single-copy preorders. I don’t know if I’ll have them all done today. I might. Paperbacks arrive tomorrow, so I hope so.

• sshd random relinking at boot

  Please test aggressively.

  We look forward to the next steps hinted at in the first of these commit messages.

  If this works out, there are indications other early-boot network daemons will get similar treatement sooner rather than later.

• Why doesn’t sysutils/vm-bhyve start my hosts?

  After booting, my vms are not started by sysutils/vm-bhyve. Why?

• DragonFly: exit windowmaker hangs X, no return to xdm

• Regain space on FreeBSD by removing obsolete packages/ports

  A quick one explaining how I easily gained disk space on one of my FreeBSD servers.

  [...]

  A quick and easy way to gain space on a FreeBSD machine - I'll add this to my maintenance routine :)

• Native Urban Terror on FreeBSD | 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚗

  Welcome to 2023 and let me start a first article of this new year with a … guest post by @NeoMoevius from Twitter. That is right. I did not invented it. I did not created it. I only partially wrote it – treat me as a ghost writer here. ll the thanks and welcomes goes directly to @NeoMoevius – I am just a messenger here

  This post will be about playing (and first building – of course) the Urban Terror game on FreeBSD system. It is about how to build and install Urban Terror 4.3 on FreeBSD without Linux emulation or using WINE. Natively. This will be on the latest and supported FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE system.
