@awesomekling "Is this too much voodoo for our purposes, for our mission statement? Our mission is to be a modern GitHub. The question is, is this too much? This is the hardest question you could ever face in programming." RIP TAD.

github if Terry A. Davis designed it

One thing a lot of people don’t realize about OpenBSD: It prioritizes correctness, code quality, and security by default over chasing features. That is a big reason it feels so clean and predictable compared to many systems - the project is opinionated on purpose.

Made a thing using Hermes. Central hub for all my agents. And she decided she wanted a music player too, so why not. Told her to make her own playlist and she put in Ministry, Killing Joke, and ClockDVA. #ALICE @NousResearch

#OpenBSD has a new hw.blockcpu sysctl to offer more control over which CPU core types (Performance, Efficiency, SMT) to schedule processes on. Modern Intel/ARM CPUs additionally have slower LP-E (low-power E-cores) that severely hinder system performance. marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs…

@lcheylus Yes! Reviving the netbt stack disabled in 2011, on amd64/-current. Added SSP, BLE, and LE Secure Connections (LESC pairing with passkey). Got a Logitech MX Keys Mini working over BLE HID end-to-end (keystrokes reaching wscons). Realtek RTL8852AE firmw loading also done in ubt(4).

@MuriloIjanc Do you port old BT code suppressed from OpenBSD sources to 7.9-beta/current version?

i've been testing bt on an obsd snapshot Tp X1 Nano, mainly for mouse/keyb use, is just for personal use. The learning exp has been incredible. HID (mouse/keyb) is still not reliable enough for daily use. #OpenBSD #Bluetooth

@igor_os777 OpenBSD ksh is the default shell github.com/openbsd/src/bl…

Korn Shell (ksh), courtesy of David Korn at Bell Labs (1983), was once the elite’s shell—fast, elegant, and packed with powerful scripting features. Sysadmins appreciated its robustness and speedy execution of scripts. Problem: AT&T licensing nightmares stunted its popularity early on, and GNU-friendly Linux distros largely ignored it. Today, ksh lives mostly in legacy enterprises, older AIX and Solaris installations, and in sysadmins who enjoy mumbling “real programmers use ksh.”
