  After a flurry of recent commits by Claudio Jeker (claudio@), an important development milestone has been reached, mwx(4), the WIP #OpenBSD driver for Mediatek chips, can now associate and RX/TX w/ an open WiFi AP! :flan_hurrah:​ "This commit was done over mwx(4) with a MT7921" :flan_hacker:​ https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=178118594091085&w=2

  Slides from Florian Obser (florian@)'s talk "Let's find out how to get predictable IPv6 addresses assigned to #OpenBSD VMs" yesterday at @bsd_nl@mastodon.bsd.cafe "Early 2026" conference. https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdnl2026-predictable-ipv6.pdf https://events.bsdnl.nl/early2026/talk/W9P9RT/ Video is up on their Exquisite.tube channel! :flan_thumbs:​ @bsdnlconference

  Friendly reminder for #OpenBSD -current users, you'll need to use 'pkg_add -Dsnap ...' with upcoming snapshots as the project enters release mode for 7.9. The -beta tag has been dropped. :flan_thumbs:​ https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=177610362824141&w=2

  I think it's time for some #OpenBSD #79HYPE :flan_hacker:​ :flan_cool: After ~21 years, gcc 3.x has left the building, with the last remaining platform (OpenBSD/luna88k) ported to gcc4. https://bsd.network/@brynet/115425313813361816 Jonathan Gray (jsg@) has updated the drm graphics drivers (inteldrm/radeondrm/amdgpu) in #OpenBSD 7.9 to Linux 6.18.y/6.18.22 from the 6.12.y longterm support version. https://bsd.network/@brynet/116201960048161449 https://freshbsd.org/openbsd/src?q=drm&...

  A lot of hubbub over a remote crash, a DoS, not a privesc or RCE. #OpenBSD never claimed to have zero remote crashes. The goal has always been to minimize attack surface, and mitigate the impact of attacks. I believe it's worth pointing out the errata was out for 7.7/7.8 almost ~3 weeks ago, and users had a patch ~90 minutes after it was committed. :flan_hacker:​

• Post #889338

  Theo de Raadt has introduced a new hw.blockcpu sysctl to #OpenBSD -current to offer more control over which CPU core types (Performance, Efficiency, and SMT) are available to schedule processes on. Modern Intel (and ARM) CPUs additionally have slower LP-E (low-power) cores that severely hinder system performance. deraadt@ modified src/sys/*: Some new intel machines have a new 3rd tier of cpus called LP-E which are E-core (Atom) without L3 cache. These cpus are Lethargic, and it sucks when proc...

• Post #678918

  Stefan Sperling (stsp@) has added initial support for newer "BZ" models of the Intel AX211 Wi-Fi 6e (not 7) devices found on recent laptops to the iwx(4) driver in #OpenBSD -current. 🥳 Due to an unresolved bug in Tx aggr, currently only 11a/b/g is stable, which will hopefully be resolved in-tree. EDIT: The Tx issue for BZ devices has been fixed by stsp@, 11n/11ac should now work! :flan_thumbs:​ https://bsd.network/@stsp/116222365173857875 "Thanks to all involved for the support...

• Post #434798

  Dave Voutila (dv@) continues his work on multi-process device emulation for #OpenBSD vmd(8), this time moving virtio scsi (CDROM) device emulation to a separate process, further reducing the amount of code running in-process for VMs. dv@ modified src/usr.sbin/vmd/*: vmd(8): convert virtio scsi device to a subprocess. Break the virtio scsi device (used as a cd-rom drive) into a subprocess like the virtio block and network devices. This leaves only the entropy device (viornd) and vmmci device ru...

  Heads up for #OpenBSD 7.8 users, backports for chromium, iridium, ungoogled-chromium ports have been committed, updated -stable packages should be showing up in the next few days! chromium has historically only received updates in -current, but it appears sthen@ has managed to backport them! https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports-cvs&m=177195097807729&w=2
