As the next release is slowly cooking, I'd like to mention an artist that I love: @pmjv, or prahou. He's been dedicated to submitting awesome artwork about his universe, here at /c/unix_surrealism, which features many openbsd related comics (puffy being an important protagonist).

I was thus wondering how an artist could pretend at submitting an artwork for the next release ? Is it a shortlist ? Do you simply upload some on the mail list ?

Hi everyone! I'm planning on getting a split keyboard to replace my planck, but I don't have a soldering iron.

What are my options ? Ideally I want:

• DIY, no soldering involved
• QMK firmware
• 40% format

The keyboard I'm leaning toward is the let's split as it's a planck split in two halves, but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can't.

I've been working on this project for over a year now, and I'm sure many people here will like it !

This is a game where the player must complete technical challenges about various technologies (programming, cryptography, networking, etc...) to progress through the story. It puts the Unix family under the light, and features many opensource technologies all running on a single server!

Check out the about page for details, and happy hunting !

Bonjour amis technophiles !

J'avais déjà teasé ce projet il y a 15 jours, et ça y est, le jeu démarre aujourd'hui ! Il reste encore de la place sur le tableau des scores donc c'est le moment de plonger dans cette aventure dystopique et de mettre vos compétences techniques à rude épreuve !

Over the past year, I've created technical adventure for people eager to challenge their skill and knowledge about many technical fields, while also having fun !

Programming, version control, command line, network protocols, cryptography, steganography, games, … Thorough the game you'll switch from decades old to state of the art technologies, and use it all to progress through a dystopian story happening around the 2^nd^ Epochalypse.

Get your systems ready, and hope that you'll be done with it before the Advent of Code starts, because you will probably not handle both at the same time ;)

Just spreading love for sysupgrade(8). I had a private server running 7.2 dutyfully serving a PHP software for a local organisation for the past 4 years.

Our provider suffered an outage which brought the server down for a few hours. When it got back up, I decided to use this outage to upgrade it to 7.4.

Two sysupgrade and one pkg_add -u later, the server is up and running again, without further intervention needed.

I did it all from my phone, in a train with a a laggy connection.

Thanks OpenBSD for caring this much about your users ! 🐡♥️

CYB3R HUNT is an epochalyptic online adventure of which you are the hero! Check out the about page, the rules, and prepare for the opening on the 31^st^ of october !

Artworks are made by prahou, creator of the unix_surrealism universe (check out his mastodon account for the image on the background, and more quality content!).

As for the programs running :

• window manager: glazier & wmutils
• terminal: st
• web browser: firefox (with borders removed for better visual effect)
• irc client: irssi
• image viewer: lel
• widgets: lemonbar

Je viens d'achever la création de ma CYB3R HUNT, une aventure dystopique dont vous êtes le héros!

L'accès ouvrira à la fin du mois, et offrira un grand nombre de challenge techniques allant crescendo en terme de difficulté et d'implication. En progressant dans les défis proposés, vous ferez avancer l'histoire vers son dénouement, et gagnerez des "flags" permettant de mettre à jour votre score sur le tableau général.

Rendez-vous le 31 octobre pour vous mesurer à ce défi technique que je vous propose ! N'hésitez pas à repartager le lien d'ici là; plus on est de fous, plus ont rit ! 😉

Came back from a trip in Corsica where we climb the most mental slab I've ever put my hands on !
