Good looking fonts in Java apps

Hi Guys, I am running a Java app launched by javaws (IcedTea-web) and am finding the fonts terrible, does anyone know how I can get better anti-aliased fonts? I have installed all the good ttf fonts from Google (Noto, Droid, Freetype etc ) which have made my Gnome3 desktop a bit nicer, it is

Dear Group, To congratulate myself for 2 years of not smoking I want to buy a new medium to high end laptop and install only OpenBSD on it. Does anyone run OpenBSD on a brand new laptop with good support? Any recommendations. Cheers! Sent from ProtonMail mobile

Compiling Linux source on OpenBSD

Hi all, This is my first time on OpenBSD and am really loving it. I had my HP Pavilion desktop booting into a Gnome3 desktop in no time (.. had so many issues trying to boot FreeBSD, gave up) My question is regarding compiling Linux code. I have some tools for programming FPGA's which I would

Best place for VM images

Hey friends, what is the best/recommended place to store the vmm images. In man 5 vm.conf is an example with /var/vmm/, is this the best location? Also if /var/vmm is its own partition, what would be the best mount options for it. I would assume nodev, nosuid are good. Any recommendations?

CVS: tag exploration

Hi, I'd like to backfill the changes in 6.1 to https://openbsd.org/plus61.html and update https://openbsd.org/plus.html, but I faced a little problem: how do I find out the last revision number before the pre-release code freeze? Those revisions must be tagged, but, apparently, cvs(1)

Choice of sis(4) versus vr(4) ?

I'm looking to refurbish an old device and will probably add a network card to it. Are there any reasons based on the current drivers or the hardware itself to choose sis(4) or vr(4) over one or the other on i386 -curren? Regards, Lars

Getting Dell RAID status via SNMP

Hi folks, On HP HW we can query the RAID status of a system remotely with snmpwalk on .1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.2.1.2.1.5.3 And you get back a status of one of the following 3 : - online - pfail - rebuild Works great! I cannot find a RAID status on a Dell though. I do a walk of 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155

Verified auth tty ioctl()s implementation details

Hi all, In the last couple of days I've been studying sudo(8) and doas(1) to find out how they work and what their operational differences are. With regards to storing persistent cookies, to allow a user to execute further commands without reauthentication (subject to a timeout), sudo uses a

syspatch glitch

It seems syspatch looks at the current machine capabilities instead of which kernel is running when it decides on if /bsd is /bsd.sp or /bsd.mp. I tried to install OpenBSD 6.1 to a USB connected CF card that later will run in an alix2d13 that has got one core, but I did the installation from a

Re: OpenBSD as Open Networking OS

Yes, I'm very interested in this but there is no "open" hardware. As Mischa mentioned, all of the platforms need vendor drivers and AFAIK all of them are gigantic and non-free *. OpenFlow is an alternative to control switches in a standard way without direct access to the switch chipsets, but it

Hi Thomas, I used to work for Cumulus and the tricky part with this is that you need to get access to the broadcom (and melanox) shipsets, which is not trivial and costly. I would love to see a BSD running on open networking equipment! There are more NOS out there but they have their own

Hi misc, I just read about a trending topic: SDN and Open Networking. The principal idea behind Open Networking is to allow the customer to install a custom OS to switch-hardware. The main software player in this business seems to be a penguin OS called: Cumulus There is also a overview of

snapshot kernel crash amd64

Hello, I had installed OpenBSD 6.1 on a Dell Latitude E7470 laptop (amd64, Skylake architecture). It could work on it but there were some shortcomings (video was slow). Today I upgraded to the latest snapshot, and I have rebooted successfully, once, after which I updated packages. When I boot
