Ok so using kitty to display images in the terminal works just fine on #OpenBSD as seen here. So sixel support not being enabled in Xterm on OpenBSD won't be a problem as I'll just use Kitty. #RunBSD

@BoxyBSD was always for BSD based systems only. I focussed to push the whole BSD community and to encourage people to try BSD based systems (such like #FreeBSD. #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, etc.) but I'm not sure if it might provide more value to the whole #opensource community by also supporting #Linux systems (such like #Debian, #Ubuntu, #RockyLinux, #SuSe and more).

I'm not sure if the #BoxyBSD project still provides a value for the community right, now.

What do you think?

Still messing about with #OpenBSD and have Picom installed and setup for transparency in the terminal so far. I've also been tinkering with Xterm and Alacritty terminals and for all the later is good I keep returning to Xterm as it seems to do everything that I want. I have resisted the urge to return to days gone by when running Xorg where I used Kitty. I have for now peeled myself away from said machine to go have a soak in the bath with a bath bomb. #RunBSD

Fuckit, now is as good a time as any to finally submit that Pull Request to update MacPorts' OpenSSH to 10.0p2 that I had been sitting on hoping for help in improving the MacPorts' patches to ssh-agent.c (making it launchd aware) and sshd-session.c (utilizing macOS's sandbox functionality):

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28253

Maybe the GitHub Continuous Integration checks will break there too?

Without getting into the rest of my exhausting day, I finally submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' Game of Trees to 0.111 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28252

GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running!

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it (that is if the CI checks run without issue).

P.S., pkg_size is one of my [scripts]

OMG I keep trying to install Wayland stuff like grim and swayimg when I really need scrot and Nitrogen. This will take a minute to get back into the swings of Xorg. #OpenBSD #RunBSD

BY THE WAY

#OpenBSD CVS Web crippled

Another fresh new year!

21 new VMs were added and 66 VMs were renewed.

We donated €1200 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, €48750 since we started.

Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!

Stay safe, sane & healthy!

#RUNBSD in 2025
