I've just updated my GitHub #Sponsors profile! Now, supporters get access to a monthly newsletter with insights on my latest work, project updates, and thoughts on OpenBSD development. Check it out and join the journey. #OpenBSD #OpenSource

Hot take: #Nextcloud doesn’t need #nginx. We moved every #OpenBSD Nextcloud instance managed by https://t.co/M3ZnaWWXxO to #httpd. With the new header syntax we cover ~90% of the nginx config. Secure by default, easy to audit. 🐡

httpd(8):
header block "Content-Type" "*multipart*" 403 "multipart blocked"

relayd(8):
block request quick header "Content-Type" value pattern "[Mm][Uu][Ll][Tt][Ii][Pp][Aa][Rr][Tt]" label "multipart blocked"

If you're using #OpenBSD 8.0 #httpd and have manually configured “ciphers” delete them. #httpd is now secure and PQC by default

The upcoming #OpenBSD #Qt update to 6.12 will come with VA-API support enabled in QtMultimedia. QtMultimedia’s FFmpeg backend can now offload video decoding to the GPU via VA-API (Intel media driver / Mesa on AMD).

All in all, it was a nice #OSSummit. As for Ai, I’d say the LF is simply seeing just how far we can take it. There was no sign of any critical voices.
Perhaps in the subtext!?
Does copyright in OSS licence still hold any value?
Who is the copyright holder? LLM or the prompt auth.

You can find the new port "x11/sddm" on ports@. Feedback welcome. happy #OpenBSD #Desktop

[Rafael Sadowski @sizeofvoid]

My god what have I done?

[Rafael Sadowski @sizeofvoid]

Hey #FreeBSD #NetBSD folks,

which mailing lists should one subscribe for technical development, discussions and diffs (such as tech@, ports@ for #OpenBSD)?

[Rafael Sadowski @sizeofvoid]

Right, that was a surprise and completely unexpected. I wanted to try out how #relayd(8) behaved on #FreeBSD. Now it turns out that #FreeBSD does not support my Wi-Fi device. That was a short journey. Bye!

@tms_hbr What would you suggest? Having a tool for ACME is simply in keeping with the UNIX philosophy.

[Rafael Sadowski @sizeofvoid]

I have a few tasks in my #relayd and #httpd backlog. However, I’d be interested to know what you think is missing or what isn’t working properly? Please only reply if you’ve used it or are currently using it. If you’ve used it before, why not?
