I'd like to replace my aging/noisy AMD Zen1+ desktop 
Not great timing, I know, but I'm thinking a Intel mini PC (e.g: N150, 11th Gen i5/i7) would work for my #OpenBSD testing & hacking, Any help towards this would be greatly appreciated.

Please boost my shameless posts for pizza, rent, & ThinkPads.
I could use some help, friends. I'd really appreciate sharing. 
If you can help out with the occasional pizza, that would really mean a lot to me. Monthly gifts would take care of a lot of my financial stress/anxiety as well.

A guaranteed $2500 CAD a month would go a long way towards solving a lot of my problems.. sigh. 
It would allow me to spend less time worrying about food, rent, bills, and more on open source. 
I'm looking for monthly/yearly "no-strings" sponsors, if any companies (or individuals) would like to help to support me so that I can focus on open source full time. Feel free to direct message or Email me.

Call for testing: OpenBSD vmm(4)/vmd(8) fd-ification https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260804054218 #openbsd #vmm #vmd #virtualization #virtualmachines #testing #newcode #development #security #freesoftware #libresoftware
NetBSD 11.0 released! Upgrade to OpenBSD 7.9 today! 
I made my first commit to src/usr.bin/ssh/* today, be afraid I might do it again.
#OpenBSD httpd(8) now has support for fully configuring custom HTTP response headers.
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=178495844507568&w=2
This enables httpd to add security headers, custom metadata, or remove unwanted headers without modifying app/fastcgi code.
Very cool.
man, fuck my chronic fatigue
fuck my anxiety
fuck my depression 
If any of my work on #OpenBSD, or my highlight posts here (or elsewhere) has been helpful in the past, a small recurring monthly donation would be extremely appreciated.

I will be hosting a #GameOfTrees version control system tutorial at #EuroBSDCon 2026, with @op as co-host.
This tutorial will be suitable for both #Git experts and complete beginners. The experts will probably spend significant effort temporarily unlearning some things they know, while the beginners will spend moderate effort learning some things they didn't know. Our goal is that both groups will broaden their version control horizons a bit and have fun doing so
Support for the loongson platform has been retired in #OpenBSD -current and has now been unhooked from the build. 7.9 is the last release for this platform.
Very much looking forward to Ori Bernstein (ori@)'s #EuroBSDCon 2026 talk "GEFS: The File Shredder of the Future"
