Making rent as an open source developer.

Attracting new monthly sponsors and people willing to buy me the occasional pizza with my crappy HTML skills.

With my OpenBSD developer hat on, I'll say we're grateful for hardware donations (from new laptops, to esoteric networking gear, etc.)

Also the OpenBSD foundation is ~5% away from its fundraising goal for 2025! :-)

I guess mine is more blog-lite? It's a mix of microblogging (an embedded view of the rss feed for my mastodon) as well as some static-HTML blog articles below that.

For anyone interested in digging in further, I posted some OpenBSD 7.8 highlights over on Mastodon as well.

Yes, OpenBSD/arm64 runs on M1/M2 machines.


I understand M3 and M4 are (by some accounts gratuitously) different and harder to support. Do you know of any future plans toward those?


Unfortunately no, I don't. At the very least we'll likely need to wait for support in Asahi Linux which provides for us the m1n1 bootloader, device trees, etc., as a first-stage.


wifi works, it's bwfm(4).



You did a lot of cool things, mister. How do I send you pizza (from one of the good places)?

Glad to see how many high-value changes OpenBSD is receiving. You just inspired me to get Chicago95 up and running on an old MacBook I have lying around right now, and replace the battery. I run it off of an old Lenovo Thinkcentre that I use as a server on my local network, but I haven't been using it as my daily driver. The number of things I can run on macOS is a lot smaller than it used to be 15 years ago, so I might give OpenBSD another shot as my daily driver.

P.S. I didn't know there were other people interested in using Chicago95 on OpenBSD, let alone OpenBSD contributors. Good stuff, man!


Yeah, after this was ported to OpenBSD by kn@ earlier this year. I just found the combination to be silly, booting OpenBSD on an Apple Silicon Mac to run a Win95 themed DE with the classic Windows 95 startup sound, it does require some tweaking. I also followed the instructions on the GitHub project page.

You certainly don't have to, but I appreciate it!

Too bad they haven't done a release song since 7.3: https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#73
