export http_proxy to a socks5

Hey, Does anyone have a good way to set the system variables https and http_proxy to a socks5 proxy so that all my http ad https traffic forwards to my socks5 box? ( Anyone got any good way or a quick ugly hack to solve this? ) -- Sincerely Flipchan

mouse stops working 2 days after reboot

Hi. On 6.4 (not 6.3 or snapshots i tried), the external mouse just stops working, ~2 days after rebooting, multiple times. A reboot fixes it, but just restarting X with Ctrl-Alt-Bksp does not fix it (though it does seem to close/restart xenodm). I am not using the trackpad and even while this

I use resflash to build read-only images for my router: https://gitlab.com/bconway/resflash/tree/master/ It's not quite a standard OpenBSD installation, but it's pretty close. However, unless you're using really bad install media (like USB flash memory or something) I don't think OpenBSD is

Vacation with smtpd doesn't work in 6.4

OpenBSD with root FS mounted read only

hello, for more than 10 years, I install OpenBSD to serve as firewalls and VPN IPSec or OpenVPN. Some of these firewalls are near my office, while other are far away. Most of them are not used with an UPS. It is the main reason why I decided to use root FS mounted RO. /tmp, /dev, /var and

Hi! Not to question or criticise existing practices here, just making sure that I understand the situation correctly. Suppose that I'm running -stable (i.e. I installed a supported release and am running syspatch regularly) and I want to use a few packages. I would like to be able to install

Re: python3 script not running as root

AFAIK cron won't spawn a login shell, so there are no 'env' variables to start with. You could import a user's profile from the crontab and get done with that (0 5 * * * . $HOME/.profile; /path/to/command/to/run) but IMO best practice would require you to set any variables in your cron script.
