First for OpenBSD.
I'm sure this will be a high quality thread free of license shit flinging from /fglt/
Which bsd variant has the most efficient and reliable support as a host for virtualization?
just installed OpenBSD now that it supports Skylake, gotta say... its cozy
I anyone running a *BSD as their daily driver on a thinkpad? Been seriously considering it but not sure about hardware support, drivers, package availability, etc...
t. x220 + fedora gnu/linux
OpenBSD on T60, everything works out of the box except the wireless. flaky but im certain its the age of the adapter
FreeBSD with bhyve
Most of the devs run OpenBSD on their ThinkPads, it's probably the best line to choose if you want an OpenBSD laptop.
I use OpenBSD for embedded development. Just comfy.
I like the philosophy behind OpenBSD and it seems like it knows what it wants to be.
If I was to use it for actual work though, I would need to be able to run VirtualBox which it doesn't seem to have support for. I'm guessing FreeBSD would be the best for that.
What about Dragonfly & Net? Are those worth looking into or are they for more specific use cases?
It is all about preference. They are all good.
Dragonfly seems to be focused on distributed computing and NetBSD seems to be best for embedded use
Will keep these in mind and maybe give FreeBSD a spin then. Thanks anons
Does OpenBSD package wpasupplicant?
You say that like you want it to happen. You're the one feeding the trolls, idiot.
i think it's in base
btw hammer2 is out
>HAMMER2 is out
Is it still coming to OpenBSD? Or was that just a maybe thing?
OpenBSD patched it (partly) before the embargo ended, because they put their users first.
Only if license bigots start shitting on the GNU project and GPL.
Why do you get a whole board to shit on BSD and we don't even get one thread to shit on GNU and the GPL?
Why doesn't Qubes use OpenBSD instead of (((Fedora)))?
OpenBSD works perfectly. Better support than GNU/Linux. I didn't have to setup volume buttons or anything like that.
This. OpenBSD doesn't support as much hardware, but the hardware it does support is very well supported. The touchscreen and pen worked in a fresh install, not even Ubuntu managed that.
Maybe.
Is there anywhere you can find really old pkgsrc archives? I'm running NetBSD 5.2 on a Cobalt Qube and don't really give enough of a shit to try and upgrade it, current versions aren't compatible with the mothballed make 5.x ships with.
Definitely a maybe thing. It would be nice to use a filesystem that isn't archaic, but I really doubt if it'll get ported.
Embargo of what?
You have as much free reign to shit on people as anyone else. But, please, for the love of God, take it somewhere else. This thread is the only good thing in my life.
I'm sorry to hear that. That sucks, dude :(
it's 3 now with krack lolol
Nvm I didn't read the cobalt part...
Nope
it technically works, but don't listen to the other anons, it's painfully slow compared to linux
add that to openbsd related issues such as lacking filesystem support and a limited selection of packages, it makes a shit desktop os
yes
Still older than what I've been able to find using FTP search engines, so I appreciate the effort.
This might sound retarded but this is my first time using NetBSD and pkgsrc to any meaningful capacity, are these different archives really locked to a specific architecture or might I be able to dig into, perhaps, some other MIPS platform and make it work? It seems like some of the stuff in here might be old enough.
No, you fucking retard. This is a MITM attack.
The whole "Two exploits in a heck of a long time" thing is stupid, anyway. And that isn't to say that oBSD isn't a good project, but there's no such thing as perfect code, and to act like that motto is a fixed thing is as presumptuous as it is naive.
Shit happens. The point is that you fix it when something does happen. This words games are dumber than the proprietary blobs thing, because at least with blobs, there was a justifiable difference. No wonder Linus calls them masturbating monkeys.
Not all BSD's are created equal, dummy. Fedora, Debian, Slackware... they're all respins of the same operating system. The BSD's are different: they don't just diverge in philosophy (and when they do, they're far more distinct, philisophically), their kernel, userland, packaging--it's all different. So stop making broad generalisations like that. It makes you look ignorant.

who would have known
Yeah, you'd think I'd learn by now not to have such high expectations of my online peers :/
60 days information embargo on that WPA2 implemenations. Researcher who found that did so on OpenBSD and for some reason agreed that obsd can release silent patch on originally agreed term. Now he brags abou it.
BDS is the new Gentoo, its for people who know nothing about tech but want to feel like Neo in The Matrix.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
>The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (also known as BDS and the BDS Movement) is a global campaign attempting to increase economic and political pressure on Israel to end what it describes as violations of international law.
I can get behind that.
Its well known that Israeli politicians openly cry at the mention of BDS
Not knowledgeable enough on the Cobalt architecture I'm afraid, however if it's kept separate from the generic MIPS implementation it would be sufficient for me to say the two are not interchangeable
"Preliminary HAMMER2 support has been released into the wild as-of the 5.0 release. This support is considered EXPERIMENTAL and should generally not yet be used for production machines and important data."
Yeah, go ahead and recommend experimental filesystems to people. Let's not try to learn from what happened with btrfs.
Responsible disclosure is very hard to get right, but it doesn't help when some project leads think their small user-base is more important than everyone.
