Hm. It looks like my publishing the "Eighteen years of greytrapping ..." retrospective https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html (https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/08/eighteen-years-of-greytrapping-is.html) has generated an uptick in digital archaeology. People are fetching the archived lists at a surprising rate. #greytrapping #spamd #openbsd #pf #packetfiltering #antispam #cybercrime #security
Running some initial tests, but for now the "httpd rocks" website is being served from a Raspberry Pi 400 in my basement (running #OpenBSD, of course)
We will see how things go...

50% might be more realistic. XD
I think if I "cheated" a little by using #OpenBSD and #i3wm, I could fit most things I use in 512MiB RAM, but #syncthing would be absolutely impossible. :'(
It takes up nearly half a gig on this box by itself. I'll have to check on my OpenBSD laptop later how much it uses. Probably pretty close.
Maybe rsync or unison instead, as a hack.
I tried this on #OracleSolaris 11.4 on a 3.4Ghz Intel Skylake system and got numbers slightly better than @tedu reported on #OpenBSD (after fixing the printf to use "%ld" instead of "%lld"):
elapsed: 0.001843s
elapsed: 0.001782s
elapsed: 0.001574s
elapsed: 0.001827s
That may just be relative CPU speed however, since I don't know what CPU he tested on.

The Church of #OpenBSD has only one single commandment: Shut up and Hack
doas sysupgrade -s . When 7.8 comes out I take it I just continue doing the same as I read that I no longer need to do the other stuff as of 7.7 . Am I correct ?Those running the latest-and-greatest [via a sufficiently new snapshot or built from source] no longer need to use "-D snap" with pkg_add(1) (and pkg_info(1)).#RunBSD

Soon a new OpenBSD release, v 7.8, will be on the horizon. Time prepare and to reprise "You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks." https://nxdomain.no/~peter/openbsd_installed_now_for_the_daily_tasks.html (also https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2024/09/you-have-installed-openbsd-now-for.html) #openbsd #install #sysadmin #devops #maintenance #packages #freesoftware #libresoftware @nostarch
Here's one thing working with #OpenBSD has helped me with: I am much more confident troubleshooting random software compile errors. Just prepared my first Patchset for a Rust thing, but I have zero Rust really, but I could figure out how to fix an outdated dependency. I wouldn't have dared two years ago.
