I have been a ksh user out of principle really but since I haven't yet been able to figure out how to overcome command-line clipping which utterly ruins my shell experience, I switched to zsh. Which then started to annoy me with its weird default autocomplete things. So remembering @npub1h5d0...emws's write-up about fish I thought I would give it a go and OMG. Mind, as fun as the interactive bits are, and as mindblowing it is to see a one-line manpage summary on pressing tab and stuff, if I could figure out why ksh clips long command prompt entries when pressing tab to auto-complete, I would go back to it. But for the time being, wow. #OpenBSD

#Python in #OpenBSD 7.8-current has been bumped to #Python313 from 3.12. If you run any applications via #pipx then you might find they are failing to launch and cannot be upgraded either because of the version bump. You need to reinstall them all: $ pipx reinstall-all Solved my woes :flan_thumbs:

New Artoffact Records sampler for 2025 is out! @npub13n40...3h2h

If ungoogled-chromium refuses to launch for you on #OpenBSD 7.8-current with it looking for but not finding files in /etc/chromium, it is because /etc/ungoogled-chromium is going to be /etc/chromium in future releases and so new versions are already looking for things but not finding them. Symlinking two dirs to their "new" places works for now. Please make sure that the destinations are empty. $ doas ln -s /etc/ungoogled-chromium /etc/chromium $ ln -s ~/.config/ungoogled-chromium ~/.config/chromium I guess fixes are coming eventually, maintainer has been notified.

Unironically using #Dillo while ungoogled-chromium is playing crashy-crashy on the latest snapshot on #OpenBSD. It's just the best.

I attempted a wifi card swap in this HP Compaq Mini 700. I removed the stock Broadcom BCM94312HMG and added an Atheros AR5BHB92 (as the AR9280 chipset is supported by #OpenBSD and can do dual band). Much to my surprise it refuses to boot now. Vendor lock-in is a terrible thing. Any hints for bypassing such checks? #retrocomputing

If you use #OpenBSD on an older #intel #Apple Macbook then this is the time to send some thank-you donations to developers who finally managed to hunt down and fix the awful ACPI timeout bug:
