Why isn't the OpenBSD project more inclusive of LGBTQ+? This OS is becoming a gravitational center for racism and homophobia in the tech community. What are we doing to change that? How is pic related considered normal?
Alright Jow Forums, some is trying to kill gpg (again). If you use gpg to encrypt files, do you think OpenBSD signify(1) could eventually replace OpenPGP?

New to BSDs. Been rolling FreeBSD the pats couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me why one would choose Open over Free?
Angel Cook
signify doesn't do encryption, just signing you can get simple encryption scheme from libsodium or similar API, but it does not have stable algorithm choices. tedu did some experiments with it, see flak.tedunangst.com/post/reop signify uses surprisingly small keys. what kind of mad man would opt for 128 bit keys when 256 bits is the recommendation? see research.kudelskisecurity.com/2017/04/25/should-ecdh-keys-be-validated/, I'm not quite sure if signify does some checks to avoid those broken keys the commandline API is a fucking inconsistent mess. the same flag is sometimes input, sometimes output. you have to input paths for files that don't exist before or after the command runs and shits like that the gzip behavior is a fucking mess
Carter Rivera
>why one would choose Open over Free? The more honest answer would be to try both. Personally, I roll new services as Open except for fileservers, who get FreeBSD or FreeNAS.
Luis Morris
FreeBSD is more performance-oriented and, while ported to many architectures, their focus is on x86-x64.
OpenBSD is security-oriented, and their developers value portability.
Blake Foster
I prefer OpenBSD for a multitude of reasons but find myself using FreeBSD simply because I need the software and hardware support it offers and I'm willing to compromise.
Isaac Martin
if you behave like a sane human and contribute good things and not meaningless bullshits like CoCs, i'm sure the OpenBaSeD team would accept you no matter how you identify or what you like.
and you to , thanks.
if you value security, good code practices and focus on things that matter, at this moment Open is the choice. Free have choose a path that lead to misery.

>deviancy doesn't make you special I second all the points made by this user, especially this. That is why the high suicide rates among lgbt people, they find it very difficult to swallow that they aren't special, at the end just normal human beings with some slight deviation.
Isaiah Morales
The problem with this mindset is that we're like, totally liberal and it's fine if trannies seize a considerable amount of power in our organization as long as they're "based" trannies, and now you have no power to prevent them from CoC'ing your project, which they always will.
Even as a radical I am not saying we should be hunting trannies down and purging them from the repos, but the gay agenda is on the attack everywhere we look. If there is no major resistance and everyone just says "whatever", they are clearly going to win, as they are in real life.
Backups. Although I have had power go out a dozen times and FFS has never shit out on me.

I would love to switch to openbsd, but I'm a little worried I can't run some programs on it, specifically android studio (yeah, I could use vim, as I do for c and python, but google added specific functions without which android dev is a pain in the ass). Is running my non-bsd apps in a vm a realistic solution?

How do I handle the bootloader stuff?
Camden Harris
Forgive me for I am retarded but I must ask for some help.
I have installed OpenBSD, I used a USB drive the install went well. The default selections for the installation process were ideal and it all went well. The system has now rebooted and I am at a login prompt. I did not set a login, only a root password. So what do I enter for "login :"?
I realise this is probably laughably stupid to you all but I am attempting to learn, please assist me if you could.
Josiah Wilson
I'm not sure what the best bootloader that supports both would be.
If you have separate drives in your computer, like two SSDs one for each OS, you could just use your BIOS to select which one to boot. Not as fancy as a bootloader, but works. It's how I boot Wangblows on my desktop (by default it just boots to Linux)
Colton Fisher
Did you create a user during installation? If you did, enter the name of the user at the prompt, then press enter and type its password.
Ryder Stewart
I did not, which was extremely foolish of me. I realised that the login was therefore "root". Don't worry, i'll redo the entire install, paying more attention this time, not like it takes long!
John Garcia
No need to reinstall, just create a user by entering to the root account and using the adduser tool. Here's the manual for it: man.openbsd.org/adduser.8
Jace Diaz
For the login, just type 'root', and enter the password. Root is a real username on any UNIX-like.
Then, do user add -m adolf && passwd adolf to create your own username and set its password.
Jace Garcia
I'll try that, thanks.

Hi anons! Linux user here (void), Interested in switching to OpenBSD when I have some free time. Just one question, do you have any experience in running OpenBSD on SBC's? Reading the documentation on this, It seems that Rockchip-based PINE64 boards (pic) are well supported. Also, there are some experiences whit low-cost SBC's like the RPi Zero?
>automatic backups on the menu Make sure to enable soft updates as well so you can get better performance.

Tbh no matter how good your file system is, you're always risking with your data if power goes out while you're using your computer. I recommend getting a UPS so that you can have a few minutes to turn off your computer.

FFS is finished software. It works well enough. HAMMER2 is on the way and it will take a while to get it right. That's okay, because we're not trying to shovel out shitware as fast as possible to please Jewish corporations like Linux is.

I am latino, and I ask you: you praise quantity over quality?; you praise "everyone can code" also?; Quoting Theo: "Why are you guys so fork paranoid? Do you want everyone to vote for the same political party, too?" Maybe you need to dig more, just bits. medium.com/swlh/when-software-kills-ab6f48a15825
Computers shouldn't be for everyone, just for the ones (regardless of their race, religion or sexual orientation, obviously) truly interested on learn about computers and improve computers in order to improve human quality of life. That's not quite what is happening today if you see the whole picture, not just the good and safe parts.
If you come here and ask when an OS developed by a small team, which is very committed to making quality software regardless of their many limitations, will implement a filesystem resistant to data corruption by frequent power failures (never done yet by any OS), you SHOULD FIRST be committed to solve your own power failures (installing solar panels, using low consumption pc's, using a diesel generator, etc), in order to have a working pc!. I know that is easier bitching in anonymous boards, but that never resolved anything before.
why not use NetBSD? seems like the best compromise between OpenBSD and FreeBSD

A Theo's quote for the record: " I am simply astounded at some of the things people keep repeating. I don't mean this applies to everyone, but is there a high quantity of attention deficit disorder in our user community? Or retards? Or is it just the same old trolling? OpenBSD does not incorporate non-free software."
Logan Anderson
There are very few games on OpenBSD. If you want to game on a BSD, I'd recommend FreeBSD since it has WINE and a Linux compatibility layer, it has Nvidia drivers as well. be aware though that the gaming experience won't be as convenient as you have it on Linux because corporations like Valve don't focus on supporting *BSD.
Landon Green
So how's steam on BSD with the compatibility layer?
Angel Ortiz
>I'd recommend FreeBSD since it has WINE and a Linux compatibility layer NetBSD has WINE and a Linux compatibility layer as well
I don't know, didn't try gaming on a *BSD before. I recommend dual booting Linux and OpenBSD, so that you can use Linux for gaming and OpenBSD for everything else.
>I recommend dual booting Linux and OpenBSD >so that you can use Linux for gaming and OpenBSD for everything else. Why would anyone dualboot what's practically the same OS? Oh, wait... Because Linux is more POSIX compliant than BSD.

right, and I responded with vi. vi improved that is.
>Being retarded Nothing's an improvement if it's not POSIX-compliant
Jayden Ward
Yes, I had this problem with vim as well.
Henry Evans
I think the answer is no. This is all of vi's `set` variables and none of them are candidates. Vim has :set nuw=1, but I hardly see a reason for this because once you hit line number ten it bumps all of them up again.
Oh, thank you for spending time in investigating this.

GPG is literally too complex for most people and is part of the reason snowden got caught.

GPG is shit and the openssl binary doesn't even support basic crypto like AES in GCM mode. Will *BSDfags ever be able to encrypt their files without calling C crypto primitives by hand?
Isaiah Parker
I hate GPG too, but Snowden didn't get caught because of it, he voluntarily went public.
