docbook2mdoc-1.0.0 released
After doing active development on it for about a month,
i just released version 1.0.0 of the DocBook to mdoc converter,
docbook2mdoc(1).
The OpenBSD port was updated, too.
In a nutshell, docbook2mdoc was brought from experimental status
to an early release that can be considered mostly usable for
production, though no doubt there are s [...]
t2k19 Hackathon Report: On rsync, ssh...
The stream of t2k19 hackathon reports continues with this from Christian Weisgerber (naddy@):
Discounting an airport layover, this was my first trip to Asia.
I guess I picked the right spot. Seeing Taipei felt like stepping
into Ghost in
the Shell. Awesome. But this isn\'t the OpenBSD travel
blog…

t2k19 Hackathon Report: unwinding in ...
Fresh from the recent t2k19 hackathon in Taipei, Florian Obser (florian@)
writes in with this report:
unwind(8) is weird. It is the first daemon I wrote without having a
constant use for most of its features. slowcgi(8), slaacd(8) and
rad(8) are different, I use them every day and I will notice when I
break stuff.

Fresh from the t2k19 hackathon comes a report from Anthony J. Bentley (bentley@), who writes:
Seeing an Asia hackathon coming up was pretty exciting; I’d never been there before. I spent a month or so preparing by getting through the more mundane things in my backlog, mostly new ports and updates. That left my time in Taipei open (Read m [...]

the hackathon in New Zealand:
Due to an earlier (pre-737Max) airplane problem on the flight back

mandoc-1.14.5 released
Ingo Schwarze wrote in with the announcement of a new mandoc release. Ingo writes,
I just released mandoc-1.14.5. This is a regular maintenance
release. As structural changes are quite limited, i expect it to
be very stable, so all downstream systems are encouraged to upgrade
from any earlier version.

Using a Yubikey as smartcard for SSH ...
SSH is an awesome tool. Logging into other machines securely is so
pervasive to us sysadmins nowadays that few of us think about what\'s
going on underneath. Even more so once you start using the more
advanced features such as the ssh-agent,
agent-forwarding and
ProxyJump. When
doing so, care must be taken in order to not
compromise [...]
