As the next release is slowly cooking, I'd like to mention an artist that I love: @pmjv, or *prahou*. He's been dedicated to submitting awesome artwork about his universe, here at /c/unix_surrealism, which features many openbsd related comics (puffy being an important protagonist). I was thus wondering how an artist could pretend at submitting an artwork for the next release ? Is it a shortlist ? Do you simply upload some on the mail list ?

Hi everyone! I'm planning on getting a split keyboard to replace my planck, but I don't have a soldering iron. What are my options ? Ideally I want: - DIY, no soldering involved - QMK firmware - 40% format The keyboard I'm leaning toward is the let's split as it's a planck split in two halves, but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can't.

Hey everyone ! With so many people stuck at 200 points on the board, I'm wondering if the chapter 2 isn't too "abstract" ? The Cyb3r Hunt is meant to be challenging, but it shouldn't discourage players because they can't figure out what to do. For those that went past it, did you find the solution sketchy ? Did it all make sense, or you went past it without really understanding what all these files were for ? For those stuck, where are you stuck at (please use a spoiler tag) ? I'm considering removing some files I consider "optional", and changing the hint to make it less like a guessing game as to what to do. Any opinions on this ?

I've been working on this project for over a year now, and I'm sure many people here will like it ! This is a game where the player must complete technical challenges about various technologies (programming, cryptography, networking, etc...) to progress through the story. It puts the Unix family under the light, and features many opensource technologies all running on a single server! Check out the [about](https://cyb.farm/about.html) page for details, and happy hunting !

Bonjour amis technophiles ! J'avais déjà teasé ce projet il y a 15 jours, et ça y est, le jeu démarre aujourd'hui ! Il reste encore de la place sur le tableau des scores donc c'est le moment de plonger dans cette aventure dystopique et de mettre vos compétences techniques à rude épreuve !

Programming wgs • 11 months ago • 100%

Over the past year, I've created technical adventure for people eager to challenge their skill and knowledge about many technical fields, while also having fun ! Programming, version control, command line, network protocols, cryptography, steganography, games, … Thorough the game you'll switch from decades old to state of the art technologies, and use it all to progress through a dystopian story happening around the 2^nd^ Epochalypse. Get your systems ready, and hope that you'll be done with it before the Advent of Code starts, because you will probably not handle both at the same time ;)

Just spreading love for `sysupgrade(8)`. I had a private server running 7.2 dutyfully serving a PHP software for a local organisation for the past 4 years. Our provider suffered an outage which brought the server down for a few hours. When it got back up, I decided to use this outage to upgrade it to 7.4. Two `sysupgrade` and one `pkg_add -u` later, the server is up and running again, without further intervention needed. I did it all from my phone, in a train with a a laggy connection. Thanks OpenBSD for caring this much about your users ! 🐡♥️

I used to rock a bare metal 1Tib HDD server for 17€/month, that I used as an NFS server for all my other servers which needed storage space. First of all, NFS kinda sucks and I'm looking for alternative solution that I can use on OpenBSD to mount remote volumes. Secondly, I'm planning to move this server to hetzner (my current provider), but they lack affordable storage (it's 50€/month for 1Tib). Do you know an hosting provider which would provide high volumes for not so expensive prices ?

Salut les Français ! Je bosse sur un projet dans le cadre duquel j'ai besoin de construire une table de correspondance entre des mots de passe et leurs hash cryptographiques. Seulement voilà, l'algorithme de calcul de ces hash (argon2id) est spécifiquement construit pour être long et coûteux a calculer. Or moi j'ai besoin d'un gros volume de données aléatoires (+2Gib), et memes avec toute ma puissance dont je dispose a la maison, ça me prendrait des mois. J'ai donc mis au point [hashcrush](https://git.z3bra.org/hashcrush), un "brûleur de CPU", qui calcule ces précieux hash en utilisant toute la puissance disponible sur la machine qui l'exécute. Je l'ai testé sous Linux et OpenBSD. Parce que je crois en l''esprit communautaire et l'entraide dans la vie de tous les jours, je préfères demander de l'aide au sein des communautés auxquelles j'appartiens plutôt que d'engraisser les fournisseur de service (qui me louerait du CPU à foison pour le même résultat avec grand plaisir). Donc si vous voulez bien me filer un coup de main, clonez le dépôt et mangez du hash ! Toutes les infos sont sur la [page du projet](https://pub.z3bra.org/hashcrush/goal.html). Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à les poser ici. Merci les copains :) Edit: pour ceux que ça intéresse, on a atteint l'objectif. Ça nous aura prit 3 jours, contre 8 mois si j'avais fais ça tout seul !

Cybersecurity wgs • 1 year ago • 96%

I've recently dug into my firewall logs and the most traffic I seem to receive from internet is targeting port 3389. While I could just blacklist the source IPs and call it a day, I would like to actually listen on this port and "trap" them in a fake RDP connection. There are tools like [endlessh](https://nullprogram.com/blog/2019/03/22/), and I've found that you can do the same for [http](https://phroxy.z3bra.org/z3bra.org:70/0/notes/tarpit.go) by sending an endless stream of headers. I would like to do the same for RDP, and before I start digging into the whole spec, I was wondering if there is already something similar for RDP. Is anyone aware of that ? Is that even a thing ?

Hey everyone ! I finally decided to monitor my applications more closely with Grafana. However I'm having issues building dashboards their logs. Their logs are currently sent over syslog (in RFC3164 format) into telegraf. But it simply puts the whole message into the `message` field, so I can't use specific fields (eg. URL for httpd, source IP for DNS requests, username for SSH, …) to build graphs. I've read about grok patterns, but I have no idea how to use them. Would someone have any pointer on how I could make sense out of these logs for later use ?

I would like to add a new keyboard layout ([FR - AZERTY AFNOR](http://norme-azerty.fr)). What is the correct way to do it ? Ideally I would like to use it for everything: - full disk encryption - TTY - xenodm - xenocara session For now, I updated `/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr` to add the variant, which I load in xenodm and my xsession using `setxkbmap`. However I feel like it's not "clean" as it should be done with `wsconsctl` . So what is the correct way to do it ?

I just found about this distro, which is relatively new (2021). Its specificity is that it doesn't features any GNU software by default, which I find interesting.

[Old computer challenge V3](https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2023-06-04-old-computer-challenge-v3.html) I stumbled upon this challenge just in time, and decided to blow the dust out of my trusty Acer Aspire one from 2008. This beast features an Intel Atom clocking at 1.67Ghz, 230Gib HDD and a whooping 1024Mib of RAM ! I slapped OpenBSD 7.3 on it just to find that my wireless card is still not supported (probably never will...). I had to scrap one from an (even older!) Asus EEE PC to get it going. It's now up and running, ready to choke at the 512Mib limit while trying to browse the web ! I'm using `st` for the terminal. Programs running are `sacc` (gopher client), `vis` (text editor) and `irssi` (IRC client). It runs my own window manager: [glazier](https://z3bra.org/glazier) with [wmutils](https://github.com/wmutils/core). Will happily answer any questions !

Hey everyone, I decided after many year to try again to slap OpenBSD on my old Acer Aspire one. The Wifi adapter is not supported, but I was thinking about using my phone to get network connectivity out of it. Unfortunately I'm hitting a strange behavior: `ifconfig urndis0 autoconf` works as expected, and I get an IP over DHCP. Ping and DNS resolution work as expected, but when I try any TCP connection, the connectivity simply stops working, and I cannot even ping the gateway anymore. `dmesg` doesn't say anything about it. Has anyone encountered this already ?

Does anyone do this ? I've been using irssi for years but it does not support using a SOCKS proxy which makes it unsuitable for this purpose.

I used to run it on my Xperia, and life was good. Then they announced a version for the Xperia 10 III, so I got hyped and bought the device. When the release came out, it lacks so many features and was riddled with bugs, so I never installed it. As of today (4.5.19), it seems the software still lacks basic features (ability to use the 3 cameras), and still has very annoying bugs (must use loidspeaker when in communication to prevent echo). Am I misinformed ? Is anyone using it daily that could share their experience? Thanks!

For the past 4 years, I've been working on this hacked version of Pokemon Crystal. The story takes place in an alternate reality where Mewtwo defeated Mew, and decided to took his revenge on humanity, turning the world into a wasteland. This hack is very short to play, but will hopefully offer a different but refreshing experience to the player compared to the traditional games. As a huge fan of the original GBC games, this is my tribute to them. Hope you guys can enjoy this as much as I did ;) _Edit_: I hope it's ok to post self-promotion like this here. It's not like I'll make a new game every week anyway 🙃

I've been accessing my servers over Yggdrasil for the last few years and I never see it mentioned in self hosting communities, so here you go ! Yggdrasil works over IPv6 and brings encryption at the network interface level (similarly to a VPN). The cool thing is that your IP address is derived from your private key, so when you try to connect to a specific IP, your packets are encrypted so that ONLY the destination server can decrypt it (thus preventing MITM attacks). And as everything is encrypted at the NIC level, you can safely use plain text protocols ;) How cool is that ?
