I'm thrilled to share my excitement for EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb! After an incredible experience last year and at BSDCan, I can't wait to reconnect with the amazing BSD and open-source community. This year, Jeroen and I are even presenting our talk, "Liberating the social web using *BSD". Come join us!| The BSD Cafe Journal
For those who are adventurous enough to explore the non-http corners of the Internet, the Gemini protocol is a delightful experience to use. It has been around a number of years, making the biggest bang around the time when discontent with the web’s general demise started to reach current heights (so maybe around 2022).| The BSD Cafe Journal

I like to go on the internet and click on links, but some of the links are bad, so then I swipe right to make it go away. The problem is that when I’m running chrome on OpenBSD, the swipe gesture doesn’t seem to work like it does on other platforms. We’re not going to fix it, but we are going to make it work. (Although, I hear the younglings say they swipe right when they like something. Explains a lot, actually.)| flak.tedunangst.com

ASUS laptops generally have a feature that lets the user toggle the fan speed. Fn-F5 on some models, Fn-F on others. The direct effect is to limit the fan speed, from whisper mode to megablast, and indirectly control performance. But it doesn’t work in OpenBSD, so I needed to write an ASUS ACPI WMI driver.| flak.tedunangst.com

I don’t usually recommend budget laptops, which end up being useful for little more than getting online and ordering a real replacement, but occasionally there’s exceptions. Like the ASUS Vivobook 14 (X1404ZA) from 2023, which apparently was made in great numbers but didn’t sell very well, because stores are still trying to unload it. It’s not a great laptop, but for $225 or so, it’s better than most of the alternatives. (Unless you find a good deal on an ebay thinkpad, etc. An X1 C...| flak.tedunangst.com

As I move around, I roam between wifi networks, but sometimes lose the connection. Then I click a link and watch in vain as it fails to load. So I’d like an easy way to check which, if any, wifi network I’m connected to, such as by putting it in my dwm status bar. I could run ifconfig and parse the output, but that’s excessively wasteful. I need to get the info myself.| flak.tedunangst.com

Dear readers,| rsadowski.de
The OpenBSD kernel has a set of functions to help detect memory corruption, the poison subroutines. The memory management code uses these functions, but they themselves have a very simple interface, no complicated types or data structures, meaning they’re easy to replace. What if we rewrite the memory corruption detection functions in rust so it’s impossible for them to cause memory corruption?| flak.tedunangst.com

The OpenBSD kernel is getting to be really old, like really, really old, mid 40s old, and consequently it doesn’t like surprises, so programs have to tell it where their syscalls are. In today’s edition of the polite programmer, we’ll learn the proper etiquette for doing so.| flak.tedunangst.com

This past week was truly one for the blooper reel. A public cloud service provider let the great unwashed into the address ranges published as safe mailers via their SPF records, with hilarious if rather predictable results. Next up, we find an intensive advertising campaign for spamware aimed at our imaginary friends. And the password guessing aimed at an ever-expanding dictionary of non-existing users continues.| That grumpy BSD guy
On OpenBSD, there is a rule that you link with libc to interface with the kernel, because that’s where the syscall stubs live. This causes a great deal of consternation for partisans of other languages, because they don’t want to link “all of libc”. But when does anything link all of libc?| flak.tedunangst.com
