Forgall posted:Yes, but that's the release version from July of last year. It doesn't have those 19 patches applied. Yep. Install 6.0 and rebuild the system. It sounds like a lot but it doesn't take very long and it's easy: https://www.openbsd.org/stable.html You could also run -current, but it's more annoying and problem-prone: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html An Enormous Boner fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Mar 18, 2017 |

anatoliy pltkrvkay posted:I used it for my IRC machine for a while, but have moved back to FreeBSD. Their need to mount a disk to update versions just seemed ridiculous to me. What do you mean? You just need to boot from the ramdisk kernel. That doesn't require any additional disks. An Enormous Boner fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Do the devs expect "rcctl check $service || rcctl restart $service" cron jobs or something? If you asked most experienced OpenBSD admins, would they just tell you to install nosh/supervisord/daemontools/Monit? Writing scripts yourself seems costly.

D. Ebdrup posted:Wouldn't they tell you not to install anything and only use what's in base? That's what I'm asking, though. What would some smartypants guy (or a loose consensus of smartypants people) say is a generalized solution for this kind of problem using the base installation? I can only think of 'roll your own scripts', which could range from a somewhat trivial exercise to a real gigantic waste of time. I'm almost certainly ignorant of something. I don't think they're averse to third-party software. Packages are important. Maybe there's someting in the collection. edit: OK... http://ports.su/sysutils/supervisor supervisor is in ports http://ports.su/sysutils/freedt this reimplementation of daemontools is in ports http://ports.su/sysutils/monit monit is in ports So, basically, everyone here probably gave good advice.

I really wish Firefox worked well on OpenBSD. You can increase datasize-max and datasize-cur in login.conf for the paths that contain the binaries. You can increase the ulimit values. I can still reliably crash it by launching mpv from thunar or pcmanfm. Apart from that, it's not performant. I know they're aware of this and are working on some optimizations. Chrome doesn't seem much better, either, and it's not significantly more stable (in my experience).

I installed OpenBSD on a 2003 PowerBook G4. I booted bsd.rd using ofwboot from a USB drive and then got the sets from HTTP. X doesn't work, but it's running.
