Discovered something clever:

I use Ctrl+Super+L for screen locking in .
It works fine, but Plasma doesn't automatically pause media playback when locking the screen.
So, I removed the lockscreen shortcut, and added a custom Ctrl+Super+L shortcut to execute:
bash -c 'playerctl pause & qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock'

Perfect!

Nice, nice! I have ctrl + super + [-=] for brightness, ctrl + shift + super + [-=] for volume, and ctrl + shift + super for play/pause (used to be mute toggle)

I tend to write single-purpose scripts that work on as many platforms as I use, so my volume and brightness scripts work on multiple linux distros and #OpenBSD. ;)

#OpenBSD tip:

You can remove all packages with

pkg_delete $(pkg_list -mz) && pkg_delete -a

Edit: @solene has informed me of a cleaner way to do what I was trying to accomplish:

pkg_delete -X

Please do this instead. 😅

Finally going home after a whole day of meetings.

I'd like to update my 15 VMs...

I also think I need to double-check my qemu installation, as 7.2.9 seems to be the last 7.x version (I have 7.2.7 installed).

I still have and VMs to update or reinstall.

Thinking about setting up a mirror.

SearxNG is definitely something I need to setup.

Also SNAC2 under Slackware.

Hai Dunia,

ini adalah instance yanfg dibuat untuk tujuan uji coba. Siang tadi ane mendapatkan akses VPS dari provider dataideas dengan spesifikasi basic yang ane install 7.5 sebagai OSnya.

Tujuan pembuatan VPS ini adalah untuk belajar dan ujicoba openbsd, nantinya jika sukses besar kemungkinan ane akan migrasi dari vultr ()) ke VPS ini.

akun utama ane masih pakai di @poes dan ane belum ada rencana untuk pindahan ke instance lain meski sekarang gts sudah support perpindahan akun.

I do not eat the easter eggs until it’s April 1st.
I do not open Xmas presents until it’s December 25th.
I do not upgrade to #OpenBSD 7.5 until it’s April 5th.

With the release of 7.5 just around the corner, I plan to write up a "from scratch" install process on my X220.

It will be based off my existing Open Suck1 installer, which defaults to mostly software with as the main DE.

A little while ago, softdep was removed from #OpenBSD for being unmaintainable unless you're Kirk McKusick.

I wonder if that means someone is planning to tackle TRIM support, without that complexity in the way.

I will no longer sync my music library to my phone. I don't listen to it there, and I have real backups. It's hard on syncthing to watch a huge pile of files, especially if I switch back to OpenBSD where there are no recursive file watches.

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@tulpa

I haven't had any problems with #syncthing on #OpenBSD except that I have to turn off auto-watching and set scanning intervals to something like 5 minutes.

Just when I switch my netbook to I find out that they too are going to drop 32 bit support. :sadlinux:
Do I take my chances with a community supported Debian port or do I distro hop?

Wait, I probably need to update all my #NetBSD VMs to 10.0 now that it has been officially released... 🤔 :netbsd:

@screwtape@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@ParadeGrotesque I approve of your The Unix Way mastery, though isn't there also something like this (#openbsd) #checksums

sha512 -h hashes.512 files/*
to make the hashfile

whence
sha512 -C hashes.512 files/*

ParadeGrotesque,
@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, after 2 days filled with 8 hours of meetings EACH, it is my displeasure to say that, not only are my #NetBSD VMs NOT updated, but my #OpenBSD VMs are not updated either!!

Much unhapiness ensues, especially since I am now way too tired to do any updating at all.

The updates (or is that complete re-installation?) have therefore been postponed to tomorrow

I would like to apologize for any inconvenience. :netbsd: :openbsd:

ParadeGrotesque,
@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

And so it begins.

Lord Cthulhu, I love sysupgrade.

Many thanks to all the wonderful #OpenBSD devs out there! :openbsd:

ParadeGrotesque,
@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

Here is the thing with #NetBSD : I like it, I really do, but it's the ton of little infuriating details that bug me.

Take a look at the 2nd screenshot: you will see NetBSD tries an ipv6 address before switching back to ipv4 once it hits a timeout.

Which is fine, except there is no obvious way to disable ipv6 anywhere in NetBSD. And I have searched for a solution!

Conversely, #OpenBSD is as smooth as a cold glass of water in a heatwave. DHCP does not provide ipv6? Disable it!

ParadeGrotesque,
@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

I mean, it's right there in the #OpenBSD ifconfig man page, while there is no such entry in the corresponding #NetBSD page (again, unless I am mistaken, corrections by smarter people are very welcome)

https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig

The result is that, on an ipv4 only network, all the utilities will keep on timing out trying ipv6 addresses first.

ParadeGrotesque,
@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

So: upgrading #OpenBSD to 7.5:

sysupgrade

(reboot)

pkg_add -u -vv

syspatch

And we are done here! :openbsd:

Total time? About 10 minutes.

Updating to #NetBSD 10.0 = reinstall.

(Remove previous OpenSSH key from .ssh/known_hosts)

Total time? About 10 minutes. :netbsd:

Good job everyone! 🤓
