This was an April fools joke. xz is not in OpenBSD base. However, it is in the ports system, but OpenBSD is not affected by the back door as it’s clearly not Linux.
Not sure. But worth noting the backdoor was in the build system of xz and it explicitly aborts installing the backdoor when built on/for any non-Linux systems.
Also interesting to see how that merge introduced a potential buffer overflow because of swapping of arguments to strlcpy, but the use of calloc prevented that in the first line of defense.
Allow to use table(5) mappings on various match constraints.
This reduces the need for multiple tables with the recipients, specially when you want multiple match for one domain. In general tables are worked on. The current plan is to make the interface for external tables asyncron.
The radeon driver is properly ancient (no hardware newer than 2012).
The new cards are under amdgpu, but that man page is much less explicit about supported hardware, simply claiming it “supports SI cards and newer”. SI in this context is Southern Islands, the codename for the HD 7000 series of cards released in January 2012. A lot has happened since then.
Ugh. Now I have to type
sysupgrade, reboot, andpkg_add -uto get up to date. My life is sooo horrible!(OpenBSD’s upgrade experience is pretty amazing. Looks like another great release!)
I deployed my first OpenBSD server a couple of months ago, so this is my first time. 😊
anyone know if there’s any background for the Ozymandias artwork? http://www.openbsd.org/images/King_of_Kings.jpg
I did a quick crop of the image at 3840x2160 FYI: https://postimg.cc/3yn7MGbB
EDIT: Unless you mean the “story” as to why it was picked? Then I have no clue 😛
Yeah I was referring to the story/context around why they might have picked it. Maybe if/when a release song comes out we’ll know more.
I’ve been trying to find reference movie poster images… but have come up empty. I didn’t think to use the filename, though, which must be a clue!
Does anyone know if this has the latest version of xz? I haven’t been paying attention to the news, but everyone sure seems excited about it!
yes!

Happy to see that finally a patch for OpenSMTPD is merged that fixes receiving mail from senders using GroupWise.

Nice to see Rust 1.76.0 in the list of updated packages! That’s a very recent Rust version.
I’m not familiar with OpenBSD but am interested in giving it a try.
Is there a list of (newly) compatible hardware or features? I can find neither in the man pages for drm, amdgpu or other drivers.
Additionally, does OpenBSD use Mesa and does that mean it supports modern OpenGL and Vulkan, too?
For Radeon devices: https://man.openbsd.org/radeon.4 For Intel: https://man.openbsd.org/intel.4
I’m not a graphics person… AFAIK OpenGl works. No idea about Vulkan.

There’s a “games on OpenBSD” effort. They’d know!
