Oh yeah I have a nice Italian beer in my hand and just noticed my -current desktop has lots of package updates. So now I even have gammastep installed and running nicely on my setup. ❤️

      Until now I've never bothered to look into the internals of keyboard software support and whatnot, but for a long time I somehow put up with (or maybe it was a / issue?) not enabling by default key repeat - or however you call holding a button and have it register as continuous holding instead of a single press.

      Lo and behold, on that just works (I just passed by the conf where key repeat is explicitly defined, so you know real people put real effort into this system). On the other hand, changing the language on my keyboard when using cwm instead of something like KDE?...

      setxkbmap -layout ro does not output an error, but still doesn't mean it actually switched me to Romanian (however, something like French actually just works). wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=ro outputs the error that ro is not a valid encoding. According to the documentation, encodings are apparently listed in /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h - and indeed, there seems to be no "ro" in there. Changing locale didn't seem to help either.

      Then I took a deep dive into the man page of wsconsctl(8). There it says: "The current mapping can be printed with wsconsctl keyboard.map. The value for each keycode specifies the keysym that is output when each of Key, Shift + Key, AltGr + Key, or Shift + AltGr + Key is pressed" A magic thing then happens... I test wsconsctl keyboard.map+="keycode 15 = l L at" - afterwards, I see in the keyboard mapping "l L at at"; the output is a Polish l=L with slash. I decide to test AltGr with every other key on my keyboard...

      I burst into laughter when I realized that I do have now Romanian characters: they were hidden in plain sight, usable with AltGr as modifier. I can't seem to spot them in keyboard.map, where according to the documentation all keysyms should be specified. Maybe setxbkmap did the magic on top? At least I am grateful I can type ăâșîț and not have to copy paste the characters.

          If you are using (on or anywhere else) please always be diligent about checking SSH host key fingerprints.

          Versioned files inside the work tree's meta-data .got directory can be created during 'got checkout' or changed during 'got update'. Files in the meta-data directory should never be under version control, yet the current implementation unfortunately allows this.

          Which provides a way for malicious repositories to configure remote servers stored in .got/got.conf which would then be used by the fetch and send commands. Unless you already have the bad host key stored, SSH will ask for verification of the bad server's host key fingerprint as the last line of defense against a man-in-the-middle.

          The problem was reported to me by Runxi Yu about 2 hours ago. A fix for this issue is being worked on: marc.gameoftrees.org/mail/1778

                    I have recently launched a website: fionescu.princeps-poesis.xyz/ - Here I posted what may be the only text in Romanian about that isn't a news announcement or a recent AI slop translation!
                    Tl;dr: I have celebrated one year since having switched from to by... switching from Linux to OpenBSD my daily driver OS. Why? OpenBSD's "proactive security by default" stance is the best for me - and it runs on my somewhat legacy hardware. Most of the essential software I used on Linux is also here, so for most purposes OpenBSD is fine for me.

                        I have a simple script called pkg_size that lets you query the size of a package and any dependencies that would need to be installed* without installing it.

                        * (it totals the sizes that pkg_add -s reports for every mountpoint and converts it to usable SI units, not just bytes)

                        https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/pkg_size

                        It has no dependencies outside of base* (I just reworked it to use /bin/ksh instead of bash).

                        * (Actual dependencies/external binaries called: basename, bc, grep, mktemp, pkg_add, pkg_info, rm, sed, tee)

                                  It caused quite a spike in the Sidekiq workers. I am pretty confident we can now handle that traffic without causing the failures to go up too.

                                  We've done a deep dive into further resource optimizations to a point where I can confidently say we can even handle that spike in threefold.

                                  And should shit hit the fan, the monitoring is now able to call me out of bed too.

I wanted to share some exciting updates about the development of BSD Mail, our privacy-focused email service designed with robustness, security, and transparency in mind. Here’s a deep dive into the technical choices I've made, focusing on my use of open source solutions and open protocols:

                                                                                    🌍 **Servers & Location**

                                                                                    - We're running on two physical servers:
                                                                                    - One hosted by OVH in France

                                                                                    - Both servers operate on FreeBSD with NVMe drives in a ZFS mirror configuration for speed and data integrity.

                                                                                    🔒 **Virtualization & Security**

                                                                                    - We utilize jails on both servers to ensure isolated environments for different services, managed via BastilleBSD. On one server, jails are set up directly on the hardware, whereas the other server employs nested jails.
                                                                                    - Each server hosts a bhyve VM running OpenBSD with OpenSMTPD for handling SMTP duties securely.

                                                                                    🔗 **Networking**

                                                                                    📧 **Email Services**

                                                                                    - **Rspamd** instances are tied to local KeyDB jails, set up in master-master replication for consistent and reliable spam detection and greylisting.
                                                                                    - **ClamAV** runs in corresponding jails for virus scanning, maintaining a high level of security.
                                                                                    - **SOGo** provides a web interface for email management, connected to MySQL databases in master-master replication to handle sessions and authentication smoothly.

                                                                                    💾 **Data Management**

                                                                                    - Email data is stored on separate, encrypted ZFS datasets to secure emails at rest.
                                                                                    - MySQL databases are used for storing credentials and managing sessions for SOGo, also in a master-master replication setup. Importantly, all passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt, ensuring they are salted and safe.

                                                                                    🔎 **Monitoring & Reliability**

                                                                                    - Our DNS is managed through BunnyNet, which continuously monitors our server status. Should one server—or a specific service—become unavailable, DNS configurations are dynamically adjusted to avoid directing users to the affected IP until full service is restored.

                                                                                    🌐 **Commitment to Open Source and Open Protocols**

                                                                                    - Every component of BSD Mail is built exclusively using open source software and open protocols. This commitment is crucial for ensuring data freedom and the reliability of the solutions we use.
