Obligatory screenshot of my new #OpenBSD setup. I've configured CWM because StumpWM doesn't do well with multiple monitors. I usually prefer StumpWM on OpenBSD. This makes computing fun again.
This computer, like this user, never sleeps.

I got tired of using Debian on my desktop. Frequent crashes and outdated software. So I installed #OpenBSD on a separate SSD and everything works. My only compromise is I need to use DRM-free media. I still use Debian for video games for the same reasons that a Linux user would keep Windows 10 years ago. But for schoolwork OpenBSD works perfectly fine, and I have plenty of music files and downloaded series. I had a few issues with my USB microphone and webcam but I fixed that easily.
I don’t know why I haven’t done this sooner, I’ve always imagined myself using FreeBSD on the desktop before OpenBSD because of the nostalgia, but the lack of 802.11ac support is problematic.

I've just launched the version of my blog with a BSD-based theme. The main colors are inspired by the BSDs, and badges will appear if a post includes one (or more) BSD in its categories. I've applied a few fixes (there are more to come), but it's already fully usable.
The site is designed to be navigable even without images or JavaScript, and can be used with text-based browsers. The only feature that requires JavaScript is the search function, which runs locally in the user's browser for maximum security and privacy.
For those who have already visited the site in recent days, you might not see the new theme correctly as some CSS parts could still be cached in your browser. I’ve set long expiration times for the CSS, so browsers may not notice the changes right away.
I had fun creating a BSD-based theme for my blog. It's promising; I just need to fix a few graphic glitches, but I think I'll put it up on the blog tomorrow. And the colors are red, yellow, and orange - I don't think I need to explain why!

Hi #OpenBSD's friend. I tried stumpWM, but that require WXallowed on my fstab. There's a way to make it less agressive ?

I need to start blogging again. Even if the reading of my blog post by Tom Jones on an episode of @bsdnow got hijacked by a story about a cat.

Good news for all #OpenBSD users: #Freeciv21 is now available as games/freeciv21 in the OpenBSD ports tree.
Kudos to @thfr for creating and maintaining the port.
