Always great to see active DOS communities!

The problem is this, and this will always be the answer a member gives you: if the port doesn't exist, create it; otherwise, do without it until someone else does it someday—if ever. That sets the tone; if that's okay with you, great… As you can see on: https://www.openbsd.org/mail.html ports@openbsd.org (Archive) Discussions about using and contributing to the ports tree.

@carson@social.chittom.family great. Let me know if you find any problems!

⇒ (06/05) Aggressive caching for a Mastodon reverse proxy: what to cache, what to never cache, and why content negotiation will eventually betray you how to cache Mastodon with nginx on FreeBSD while handling content negotiation correctly, covering cache keys for HTML/ActivityPub/JSON variants, bypass rules for private traffic, and TTL strategies for assets, media, and dynamic pages. The guide includes production-tested configurations for thundering-herd protection, failover, and logging to verify cache behavior. https://it-notes.dragas.net/2026/06/05/aggressive_caching_for_a_mastodon_reverse_proxy/

I hadn't come across this CVE. Thanks for the share!

Thanks, I deleted my duplicate!

I've been using OpenBSD for my projects for the last few release cycles and I feel comfortable upgrading, etc. but I'll keep this for sharing with others. Great post.

Today on undeadly log: Migrating mail servers from exim to OpenSMTPD (smtpd) is fun and useful Like (we suspect) quite a few of our readers, undeadly.org co-editor Peter Hansteen runs a mail service and settled on exim as the reasonable alternative to the classic sendmail way back when. However, that software has had its share of security issues over the years, and during the preparations for the OpenBSD 7.9 release, the ports maintainers decided that… https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260516064650

That explains it perfectly – "in the body" – thanks! Tag: solved

… Neither Ivy nor George had children. After George's death, I heard his voice in conversation with Anne and Rose. All three of them were alive. Can you guess the hidden history that explains the voice? It was not a voice from beyond the grave. Not quite. It was George's son, whose existence had been hidden from George's sisters (Anne and Rose) and everyone else in the known family, as far as we could tell. Barnardo's – things were very different in the 1950s. Fast-forward to when Anne (my mum) and Rose met my cousin for the first time. I stood in my mum's kitchen, making a pot of tea for him and his newfound family, listening to them in the front room, thinking: "it's George". George's son spoke like him, despite them never meeting each other (in living memory), and the resemblance was more than just a regional accent. Mysterious and lovely. Hidden histories …

Linux kernel czar says AI bug reports aren't slop anymore • The Register (Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, 2026-03-26) – interview Greg Kroah-Hartman can't explain the inflection point, but it's not slowing down or going away … "Something happened a month ago, and the world switched. Now we have real reports." It's not just Linux, he continued. … Two weeks later from SJVN: Project Glasswing and open source software: The good, the bad, and the ugly – opinion Just what FOSS developers need – a flood of AI-discovered vulnerabilities He quotes David Wheeler, director of Open Source Supply Chain Security at the Linux Foundation (LF), which supports Glasswing: … "Is there a risk of lock-in? Yes, that's always a risk. That said, I don't think the risk is as bad and we're working on ways to address this. … "… the new open source software cyber reasoning system (OSS-CRS) emerged from AIxCC and is a standard orchestration framework for building and running LLM-based autonomous bug-finding and bug-fixing systems." The second part was new to me. AIxCC: AI Cyber Challenge | DARPA Launched in 2023, the Artificial Intelligence Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) is a two-year competition that brings together the best and brightest in AI and cybersecurity to safeguard the software critical to all Americans. … In the penultimate paragraph, SJVN agrees with the CFO of the Linux Foundation. There's real urgency.

Sorry, I omitted a link to the affected post. It's now linked from above. Note the lines in the original. The representation in Mastodon is wrapped, no line endings.

Thanks. Maybe NodeBB defaults to strictness for new users, which would make sense. If so: leave it as is, I guess that I'll be able to edit the subject line there when I become a trusted user (I'm in no rush).
