My experience installing #GrapheneOS for my after market Pixel is similar to my experience buying my first used ThinkPad specifically to install #OpenBSD

Both projects value simplicity and security. Neither tries to force any unnecessary choices down your throat. You get a box with cool tools, it is up to you how you want to fill it.

The state of 3d-printing from OpenBSD by Andrew Hewus Fresh
@AFresh1

youtu.be/q8K9VH76c8o

It's possible to do some 3d printing related things on an OpenBSD machine, but there are a bunch of popular tools that aren't available in the ports tree. We will talk about some of the different classes of software and what things are popular and whether they are currently available on OpenBSD and what the blockers are from getting those into the ports tree.

Following up on previous, the LinkedIn discussion revealed that there are people who have not heard about greylisting.

So here is my 2012 piece with updates, "In The Name Of Sane Email: Setting Up OpenBSD's spamd(8) With Secondary MXes In Play - A Full Recipe" nxdomain.no/~peter/in_the_name

all operating systems suck uniquely. find the one that sucks the least for you and use it. also, shut up about it.

EDIT: "shut up about it", is about OS proselytizing. share all you like, just don't pressure me to use what you use. it'd be hypocritical to say this as I certainly don't shut up about my love for OpenBSD.

I feel like raylib is a good cross platform gui and game engine.

* Things I don't care about:
"native look and feel" I could not care less about this kind of thing.

* Things I DO care about:
Using opengl when most/all of my ideas are 2D. (I don't like it.)
But ... I also like ncurses for simple stuff. So this is the compromise.
GUIs get OpenGL and TUIs (ncurses) are for the retro/old/remote machines.

Otherwise, I can't find a decent C gui lib. GTK is too big and I don't like constant
version churn. (basically that is ALL the gui libs.)

Lot's of the simpler stuff I find is wrappers for something bigger like gtk.

If I wasn't so into #C and #OpenBSD right now, I would probably just be happy
to use tcl/tk for gui stuff.
