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. ​

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.

[Action Advised] Manage your unused OAuth clients and protect your information

In accordance with OAuth 2.0 policies, the following projects that you manage have OAuth clients that have been inactive for at least 5 months, and will be deleted in 30 days unless you take action:
[..]
To prevent OAuth clients from being deleted, use them in a Sign-in with Google flow or to exchange a refresh token for an access token. Do this for each client that you want to retain.

But it's not inactive.. I use fdm + oauth2.py many times daily, which refereshes the access token. It's working as intended.. ​

Received this scam sponsorship offer by email, even referencing my advocacy/open-source work on OpenBSD, and quoting things off my website.. ​

https://brynet.ca/pub/sponsor-scam.txt

Then they hit me with this.. ​

To proceed with the sponsorship coordination, an upfront processing payment
of $100=E2=80=93$200 is required for the administrative work involved.

Please let me know if you are willing to proceed so I can provide the exact amount and payment details.

Best regards,

Shame on me, I guess.. sent to /dev/null. ​

Ori Bernstein (ori@) has sent a follow-up mail about his experimental #GEFS port to #OpenBSD tech@, including a updated diff with newfs_gefs(8) utility, and more error handling. ​

[...]
First off, thanks to Martijn, and everyone else who tried it out and sent patches.

Everything is updated and rebased, and the diff has been regenerated with all of the lastest.

I've gone through a the error handling code. In theory the filesystem will handle errors mostly correctly. There are probably still places where theory diverges from reality. I've also forward ported most of the important bugfixes from 9front.

[..]
Some userspace tools have been done (you can now mkfs on openbsd!), but snapshot control hasn't.

< user1> oh fun, linux has an unauth RCE
< anon> It has a lot of other great features, too.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this #halloween. I just put this #OpenBSD 8.0 usb inside this candy bar. Be safe. 😔

Happy Halloween Eve Day! 👻​

12 years on, #OpenBSD's port of #nginx still maintains its default chroot(2) patch.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rnagy/nginx_chroot_patch/master/nginx-1.30.0-chroot.patch

Reyk Floeter attemped to clean up nginx, wrote a large patch replacing all risky malloc calls w/ reallocarray(3), but upstream gave no indication they would accept, it was eventually discarded due to difficulty maintaining it.

After ~3 years in base, & the subsequent discovery of multiple "Heartbleed accelerating custom allocators", ngnix had outlived & outgrew its welcome.

A new dbupdate(8) utility is being backported and released as a syspatch(8) update for #OpenBSD 7.9/8.0. This will make it easier for users to periodically update /etc/ssl/cert.pem and /usr/share/zoneinfo. ​
