Now that you say it, I may have misinterpreted that :
the biggest motivation is and was LLMs.
Thanks for correcting me.
This is very good news as I love and use both software a lot.
Reading the original post from rsadowski@, it turns out the motivation behind it all is a pretext to use LLMs. Given the amount of patches submitted, I truly hope this code was thoroughly reviewed and remains (even if machine-generated) secure and at the same quality level as what we’re used to with OpenBSD software.
There might be some parts that end up not working sometimes, I need to fix that eventually (like process freezing or stuff like that). But the whole adventure is self contained so everything should remain available as long as the site is up !
Did you seriously bring a gun to a sword fight !?

My dear friend, this is (again!) some beautiful art you got there ! This could easily be the artwork for openbsd 7.6 ! If you don’t mind me I’d like to mention it on /c/openbsd so your work doesn’t go unnoticed? :D
I cannot speak for prahou, but I’m fairly sure we both agree on this:
- Codebase is clean and lean
- Security is a first grade citizen
- Dev team is not afraid to call stuff obsolete and remove/replace stuff
- It’s a full operating system, not just a kernel that you need to build on top of before distributing it
- Config files syntax is cohérent across the whole OS
masterPuffy rocks.
We call them crowdstals down there. They used to only target ancients NT kernels but apparently they evolved to infect other environments. Eh, nature.
Nope. But I’m eager to know how you can be so confident saying that ? (FYI the WiFi is served by a hotspot from my phone, which uses a randomized MAC address)
Oh I love this style <3 It’s refreshing and yet so comforting because it’s still girl :D
You don’t have any plugins on surf. I personally use a DNS based ad blocker.
Gotta punch holes in the screen and hammer the keyboard a bit haha. But remember friends, Hardware is forever.
Easy, become a Magnetic Nymph today !
Une dictature, comme vous y allez !
Here’s my 2cts as someone who (used to) hate Wayland:
The main reason is frustration. Using Xorg was simple. You install
xorg-server(and its million dependencies), a window manager and you’re good to go. Fire up the server, and then run all the software you need. The window manager is just one of them (and is entirely optional).Wayland is another story though. You don’t “install Wayland”. It’s only a spec. Just like you don’t install HTTP to browse the web. You either install Firefox, epiphany or dillo, which all support a different amount of that spec. For example dillo is ultra light but doesn’t support javascript. It’s the same with Wayland compositors, except that the spec changes every week (or used to, back in Wayland’s early days). And it was so frustrating to come from Xorg where everything works to another system where you couldn’t even copy/paste between windows !
Wayland being only a protocol is it’s greatest strength and main weakness. It’s good because it’s extensible and everyone’s free to implement whatever extension they need. Unfortunately it went in all directions with everyone coming up with new extension everyday, causing fragmentation when there was barely 3 competitors (kde, gnome and wlroots). As a developer, it’s ultra confusing, just like on the web when you used to add support for chrome, mozilla and IE. And requires a lot of effort because the landscape is constantly changing. So if devs are lost, imagine users…
Hopefully nowadays there’s some kind of consortium that’s voting Wayland extensions, which is a great thing. Things move at a pace that is okayish to keep up with, and most basic expected features are there (copy/paste, screen save/lock, desktop shells, etc…).
