after a week of hunting for hardware for my portable ssh terminal, i'm giving up.
considered: eink tablets (supernote manta, boox go, boox note), eink ereaders (pocketbook, kobo, even kindle) and a few diy options (waveshare + rpi, eink panels with esp32).
eink tablets are too expensive and slow for code editing;android ones are too bloated;jailbreaking ereaders is too fragile;diy options are even more expensive and clumsier.i guess we have to wait for someone to build this product for us.
7-10" 15hz eink;customizable os (i want stripped down #openbsd with ssh client only);replaceable battery;wifi;usb-c (for external keyboard, display, and charging).#solarpunk #cyberdeck #typewriter #eink

If #OpenBSD is Fish Linux, what's Wario Linux?
Omarchy. Definitely flipping Omarchy. 🤢
One notable #openbsd commit message:
I have a #Thinkcentre with #OpenBSD. It serves as a host for all my repos. My two laptops, an old #x240 with #alpinelinux and the #t480s with #netbsd, I use for programming. I pull a repo to the laptop of the day, and push when I'm done. Because of the recent issues with #SSH on #alpinelinux I changed all three machines to work with #sshkeys instead of passwords as of yesterday. Apart from the security aspect, it has the added benefit that I don't have to key in my crazy long password whenever I #push or just use #ssh to do cross machine activity.
Why didn't I do this long ago?
bless the maker and his bsd.rd

Which BSD do you use ?
I'm interested to see which BSD has the bigger user base on the fediverse and why you use it.
Boosts are welcome.

Does any #OpenBSD arm64 wizard know how to let simplefb know to use the higher resolution on a Lenovo ThinkPad T14S G6 (Snapdragon X1E) with the 2880 x 1800 option?
My eyes would be most grateful…
The Ghidra reverse engineering tool/decompiler has returned to #OpenBSD ports!
Thanks to Kurt Miller (kurt@), #Ghidra 12.0.2 is now in -current!
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports-cvs&m=177069535911042&w=2
Ghidra was originally ported to OpenBSD back in 2019, but due to major changes upstream, updates stagnated until 2023, when it was disabled to avoid shipping an outdated package.

Maybe go ahead with #GhostBSD as the "gateway drug"
into the BSD world. Then when you've "found your BSD feet" with it, hopefully easier to try plain #NetBSD or #OpenBSD.
I think that's what I might do. I used friendly PC-BSD back in the 00s but no BSD experience since. (Switching not urgent yet as I'm on Linux Mint Xfce X11, based on a 2024 LTS release, so presumably much less likely to contain slop than a cutting edge release.)

Hope my fellow #OpenBSD developers have a great time this week in Krk, Croatia at the #h2k26 #hackathon!
