This is just a command which is likely to trigger a reboot (on amd64) without getting into other problems that might hang. Basically to identify whether it's in ddb without having changed the screen, or whether it's hard locked.

There is no support for newer Intel wireless like the 9260 the T495 has. The version of amdgpu in the tree does not include support for picasso APUs (Ryzen 3xxx) https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/picasso or whatever raven2 works out to be. It is also not enabled by default just yet. If anyone wants to have a Ryzen thinkpad work in the short term the current A series A285/A485 and similar generation E series require less work. Suspend/resume doesn't work right on them currently. They mostly ship with RTL8822BE wireless which there is no support for but this can be replaced with an Intel 8265 which is in the bios whitelist and is supported by iwm(4).
Re: PF firewall for desktop
Lots of miscommunications in these threads. The original poster here was talking about setting up a virtual firewall machine to deal with traffic on a single box. Most of the war stories are from sys admins protecting a corporate LAN (or larger) with lawyers and accountants weighing in. Of course you need to consider the collective OpenBSD wisdom and up your game accordingly, when protecting a multimillion dollar facility. I could really go for a methanol, about now!

Issue with file not showing up in directory mounted over local NFS
Hi, I'm building current ports in a chroot with dpb(1), and I'm keeping the ports tree in /extra/ports which is mounted over local NFS to both /usr/ports and /extra/proot/usr/ports (in my chroot). Recently I've seen this happening: $ ls -l /extra/ports/packages/amd64/all/wget* -rw-r--r-- 3 _pbuild _pbuild 1227063 May 28 12:27 /extra/ports/packages/amd64/all/wget-1.20.3p1.tgz $ ls -l /usr/ports/packages/amd64/all/wget* ls: /usr/ports/packages/amd64/all/wget-1.20.3p1.tgz: No such file or directory That is, the name of the file is listed in the directory entry on the NFS mount, but the actual file does not appear to be there. It appears after a few *minutes* though. $ mount /dev/sd0a on / type ffs (local, softdep) /dev/sd0e on /usr type ffs (local, nodev, softdep) /dev/sd0d on /var type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid, softdep) /dev/sd1a on /usr/local type ffs (local, nodev, wxallowed, softdep) /dev/sd2a on /home type ffs (local, nodev, softdep) /dev/sd3a on /extra type ffs (NFS exported, local, nosuid, wxallowed, softdep) localhost:/extra/ports on /usr/ports type nfs (v3, udp, timeo=100, retrans=101) localhost:/extra/ports on /extra/proot/usr/ports type nfs (v3, udp, timeo=100, retrans=101) The entries for the mounts in /etc/fstab: localhost:/extra/ports /usr/ports nfs rw localhost:/extra/ports /extra/proot/usr/ports nfs rw This is on a current amd64 VM.

In advance it's been mentioned many times is this list that bridge-only (IP-less) firewall is not a recommended setup. Start with this: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc=124056858519840=2 I'm sure you will find valuable info there like the post from Henning@ (pf dev): "yes. lots of idiots do it. bridging is stupid. don't. there are cases where you can't avoid it, but deliberately? about as clever as knowingly drinking methanol." First of all it's harder to detect problems, configuration errors. There might be performance issues as well since you're utilizing the bridge interface (not sure if it's still a case) IP/routing adds another layer of protection. The packets must pass the network layer 3 of the firewall. Layer 2 attacks are not easy to protect from or even to detect sometimes. Not having an IP on the firewall is no better than having an IP firewall with no open services or no open services on the external interface. G
Re: hw.ncpu=1, hw.ncpuonline=1, hw.ncpufound=4
Thank you I was not aware of the security issues of hw.smt. Fortunately, things are fast enough without it, and I'm setting up a true multicore AMD system soon. On my hypothesis about CPU usage competition, I was using "interrupt" in the sense that doesn't involve computers. For example, suppose that I first run something that outputs its processing as it processes, like nmh scan(1) or playing music with mpv(1). Second, in the middle, I run something that uses the filesystem a lot, like a borg(1) backup. The first thing's output will stop for a moment while the second thing runs. Best salutations, Ipsen

I'm using ix(4) (onboard or X550 cards) here, but there are other options. They are common enough that you can find used ones pretty easily if you are keeping costs to a minimum. DOM statistics (light levels, temperature, etc) are also available on 6.5 with ix and a few other 10g nics.
