Sound is good on OpenBSD
OpenBSD gives a better sound experience on my machine than several Linux distributions I have used and FreeBSD. Just want to say thank you to all the people involved and state the fact that OpenBSD does make a difference. -- Yury https://yvgrebenkin.wordpress.com/

If not, you could allocate additional nodes under a spare major for the extra partitions. If so, well I'm just talking out of my arse. I'd see for myself if I could find where they're allocated. I'll have more of a deep dive later. -- Aaron Mason - Programmer, open source addict I've taken my software vows - for beta or for worse

installation hangs/crashes on 2007 iMac
With extra time while in quarantine I idly tried to install 6.6 on an older iMac[1] I have. Using install66.fs on a USB flash drive, when starting (holding ALT key) it was offered as a boot disk choice. It reaches the boot> prompt, then reaches the "entry point at..." and crashes (machine restarts) after a few seconds with no further messages on screen (transcript below) If I enter "boot -c" at the boot> prompt, the machine never restarts but hangs indefinitely at the same point. I found a post[2] on r/openbsd that seemed sorta similar, and claimed to be resolved by installing 6.4, then upgrading from there but keeping the bootx64.efi from the 6.4 release. However on my machine the 6.4 installation had the same behavior. I didn't try anything older. Is this machine known to work/not work or can I provide any more info to debugging? probing: pc0 mem[572K 64K 3046M 40K 16K 56K 288K 4M 316K 16K 48K 32K 1M 196K 32K 4M 5M 3M 148K 40K 1024M] disk: hd0 hd1* hd2* >> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOTX64 3.46 boot> boot -c cannot open hd0a:/etc/random.seed: No such file or directory booting hd0a:/6.6/amd64/bsd.rd: 3732172+1537024+3885432+0+598016 [376562+128+455] 544+303577]=0xa648d0 entry point at 0x1001000 (hangs here, or restarts machine after a few seconds if not "boot -c") Regards, Allan Footnotes: [1] https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.0-20-inch-aluminum-specs.html [2] https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/eggg4m/64_works_perfectly_but_6566_bsd_kernel_frozen_on/
snapshot checksums failing
hi, would it be possible to regenerate the latest snapshots (amd64, cdn.openbsd.org)? some of the archives show checksum errors... thank you. -f --

Re: UNIX crash course
mail. Since I don't trust Google or pretty much any "free" provider at this point, that means doing it myself. Some steps (registering a domain, ordering business-class service or a static IP, etc) are self-evident. But after that, there's a lot I really need to learn Running your own inbound and outbound SMTP service on the public network is not as easy today as it was 10+ years ago. You need to play with SPF, eventually DKIM and DMARC (and the many false-positives you get bounced back caused by mailing-lists subject and signatures), leverage DNSRBL (real time blacklists), ideally enforce STARTTLS and accept the fact that nobody cares about certificate validation on that front. Not mentioning having to deal with Gmail and Microsoft's very agressive blacklists (up to the point where it seems to be whitelists or at least reputation-based). Same goes for DNS. If you want to host your own, it's a whole new game now with DNSSEC.

I'd say inbound is easier than 10 years ago, the software is better, and many of the people that don't know what they're doing that would have used to try to run it with trash software have just outsourced now. Outbound "it depends" but it's not usually too bad unless your mail server is on a dirty network range. (That restriction rules out many cheap colo places though). > Same goes for DNS.

Outside of certain network infrastructure (RIRs and DNS software vendors) and TLDs offering incentives (.se and .nl, maybe others) DNSSEC is still very rare. Do a lookup of a couple of dozen randomly chosen general purpose domains - I think you'll be lucky to find more than 1 or 2 signed.
boot drive hide and seek on new notebook
hi, i am trying to run openbsd on a very new notebook and it kind of works. i have taken away some space from win10 and created a partition, and the installation went well. atm i dont want to create a boot menu, so i just insert a usb key with openbsd installed on it, and i select the kernel from the internal drive. however... this is a normal boot: probing: pc0 mem[636k 1928M 14304M] disk: hd0 >> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOTX64 3.50 boot> machine diskinfo DiskBlkSiz IoAlign SizeFlags Checksum hd0 512 0 3919MB 0x2 0xa3b9b69 Removable the internal nvme disk is nowhere to be seen. but i have just installed openbsd on it... another boot, this time i enter the BIOS, and it has a menu to select the boot device manually, so i select the USB key: probing: pc0 mem[636k 1928M 14304M] disk: hd0 hd1 >> OpenBSD/amd64 BOOTX64 3.50 boot> machine diskinfo DiskBlkSiz IoAlign SizeFlags Checksum hd0 512 0 3919MB 0x2 0xa3b9b69 Removable hd1 512 4 953GB 0x2 0x122409ee boot> b hd1a:/bsd ... and success. but unless i enter the bios, the internal drive is not in that list. i think the installation process went well because i also had to enter the BIOS to select the usb key to boot from. here i would like to say, that amazingly, most stuff worked when i booted up openbsd on this ASUS ROG Zephyrus gaming machine (despite the sea of "unknown" devices ;). here is a dmesg: OpenBSD 6.7-beta (GENERIC.MP) #157: Sat Apr 25 15:58:34 MDT 2020 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 17005793280 (16217MB) avail mem = 16477765632 (15714MB) mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 3.2 @ 0x7a9e9000 (37 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "GX531GW.306" date 06/28/2019 bios0: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

Very happy. They have free service, no DNSSEC, and paid service with DNSSEC. And yes, they really are cheap. :-) You do have to transfer in your domain for DNSSEC. Chris Bennett
Re: boot drive hide and seek on new notebook
Some BIOS's require you to select legacy boot and legacy boot before UEFI in order to boot off of a USB. Also might need to turn off boot security option, too. A lot of BIOS's suck nowadays. Who woulda thought that examining the BIOS would become a purchasing decision? A future BIOS update might make things better, or impossible. Good news is that you got it to work. Chris Bennett
