2021-12-11 23:06:31 What are the VPN available on OpenBSD.

I wanted to write this text for some time, a list of VPN with encryption that can be used on OpenBSD. I really don't plan to write about all of them but I thought it was important to show the choices available when you want to create a VPN between two peers/sites.

2021-12-10 16:41:58 The OpenBSD hypervisor in the wild, a short story, but getting longer. (Dutch)

In the Summer of 2018 —after a poll on Twitter— OpenBSD Amsterdam started testing with vmm(4)/vmd(8). Mostly to see how far we could take it; more importantly to give back to the project. Little did we know where it would take us. During this talk, Mischa will outline how it all started, how it’s built, how we operate the platform, what speedbumps we encountered and where we are now.

2021-11-25 18:20:07 Running OpenBSD 7.0 on your laptop is really hard (not).

Instructions on this page will provide a nice xfce4 based desktop. I'm using it on a Thinkpad X220 with a 480Gb SSD and 8Gb RAM. The example command results and links are still pointing to 6.8/6.9 at present. I'll update these in a week or two...

2021-11-20 12:15:07 Running the Searx metasearch engine on OpenBSD.

Searx is a free metasearch engine. This means that it will aggregate search results from several search engines, like Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google or Qwant. But it will also use search engines from services like DailyMotion, DeviantArt, FramaLibre, GitHub, Reddit or Wikipedia to extract search results.
