Apparently a commit that I can’t find (“e8de9e9“?) disabled acceleration for R5 240 Radeon cards, but causes an error for R7 models. If you’ve got an R5 and you want accelerated video, try taking it out – assuming it̵…
This week’s BSD Now talks about some pro-BSD ideas, which may or may not include the idea of Linux with a BSD userland. I find it slightly upsetting.
If you think about the name, you’ll realize what it does: libpasswdqc(8) does quality checks on passwords via PAM, and now it’s in DragonFly.
rpki-client 7.2 has just been released and will be available in the
rpki-client directory of any OpenBSD mirror soon.
rpki-client is a FREE, easy-to-use implementation of the Resource
Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for Relying Parties (RP) to
facili…
The headline says almost everything, in this case. There’s a HOWTO for DragonFly NVMM which should get most of what you want to do, and I’m sure it will be updated.
An errata patch for the libc library on the mips64 architecture has
been released for OpenBSD 6.8 and OpenBSD 6.9.
On mips64, the strchr/index/strrchr/rindex functions in libc handled
signed characters incorrectly.
Source code patches can be found …
An errata patch for the relayd application layer gateway daemon has
been released for OpenBSD 6.9.
relayd(8), when using the the http protocol strip filter directive or http
protocol macro expansion, processes format strings.
Binary updates for the a…
No mini-theme this week. This bizarre bit of merchandise is a visible sign: shirts are being autoproduced with robots and text recognition these days. Using Keybow to build custom keyboard functions. PiStorm – Keeping the Amiga alive. An emulated hardware CPU. I struggle to describe this; it’s blurring the line between hardware and software. (via) …
No theme this week; just catching up with all the links I didn’t get to last week. Valuable News – 2021/07/19. VirtualBox with FreeBSD + KDE. VM-to-desktop. Also VirtualBox guest additions in FreeBSD for that previous link. Managing Boot Environments. (ZFS) FreeBSD TCP Performance System Controls. FreeBSD KGDB support in LLDB. A description of the …

Introduction
This report covers FreeBSD related projects for the period between April and
June, and is the second of four planned reports for 2021.
Some of this reports highlights include but are not limited to work on an
experimental installer, changes to pf, additional work on the Linuxulator,
updates on the state
Here’s something I just learned: If you are running dma(8), /etc/dma.conf will contain MAILNAME. If your email server is somewhere else, but you set MAILNAME as your domain – dma will deliver locally. I had /etc/dma.conf set with MAILNAME shiningsilence.com – so dma kept delivering overnight periodic results to root, which was aliased to justin@shiningsilence.com …
This week’s BSD Now covers different topics – you may think from the headline it’s a “tips and tricks” link, but no, it’s about confidential info.

Now enabled by default on OpenBSD -current is dhcpleased(8), a dynamic host configuration protocol daemon written by florian@ (Florian Obser), who spoke with us about his work:
I suppose this is either the KAME project’s fault, or if we don’t wan…
Aaron LI’s added NVMM, hardware acceleration for virtual machines, to DragonFly. The version of qemu in dports is not set up to support this, yet. Until then, you can download a prebuilt version. Since NVMM originated on NetBSD, the NetBSD documentation page for it describes how to use it quite well. There’s a man page …
ChiBUG meeting is at 6 PM at the normal place, which means you should go if you are near, and vaccinated.
boot and libstand directories are moved to src/stand/boot on DragonFly. This won’t affect most people, as you’ll upgrade and build the same way as always, but if you were specifically looking for it in the old locations of sys/boot and lib…
