Hello from an OpenBSD desktop!

Wiped my outdated FreeBSD install on an Asus EeePC and put OpenBSD 6.3 on.

Needs more pixels...

My boss told my team today that I'm leaving. It only took a few hours for word to get to another manager within the company who is now trying to get me to consider staying and joining his team.

It's nice seeing that others deem me skilled at what I do and valuable to the company.

without a hit counter, a 90's website wouldn't be from the 90's

Dungeons & Dragons is in the business of selling fantasy. Not the stuff with the magic and monsters -- the part where you *actually believe* that you and several other likeminded adults will be able to coordinate your schedules on a regular basis.

RT @MedievalPete@twitter.com: Someone on Reddit has photoshopped art ladies into a modern office and it's just excellent.

Chrome's private browsing is broken

This defeats the purpose of Incognito. If any website is able to tell you're browsing in private mode, then the browser is leaking data that shows it's not private

Happy ! After a couple of years of playing with Linux, I grabbed a FreeBSD ISO and played with it on Virtual PC (pre-Microsoft). I think it was 4.7-RELEASE?

I gathered some old machines and ran FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD on each. Ran OpenBSD as a router (not having ANY idea what I was doing). Settled on FreeBSD for many years, but have branched back out since. Local DNS is NetBSD on an RPi, VPS web server is OpenBSD.

Woot. The diff to disable SMT (aka Hyperthreading) just landed in #OpenBSD -current.

You can now disable SMT via a sysctl. The default is disabled.

BSD people might find this funny and / or depressing, depending on your point of view:
