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

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

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

I'm going to compile the NetBSD kernel directly on the Raspberry Pi Zero W, which is running NetBSD.

Let's wait and see 🙂

Did I ever say that I #RunBSD aka #FreeBSD and I think that everyone should give one of the BSD's a shot at least once in their life. :beastie: 😉

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

There's two standard packages on my install list.... because I'm still 7 years old in my head

$ doas pkg install xteddy sl

Switching customers from Linux to BSD because boring is good

I replaced the SSD in my old #Lenovo #x260 and tried #FreeBSD again. This time I installed #Xorg, and it turns out the graphics don’t freeze on wake-from-sleep like they did in Wayland. I still have a couple of issues to fix before I’m content, but I’m happy with today’s little project.
