If you copy shod executable to /usr/local/bin or other place existing in $PATH then call it from .xsession/.xinitrc, it will start.

Overview of file systems on #OpenBSD and #NetBSD and mutual accessibility.
FFS (in kernel)
OpenBSD - v1+2, no journaling, no softdeps, OpenBSD does not recognized NetBSD's FFS
NetBSD - v1+2+2ea, has journaling and softdep, recognizes OpenBSD's FFS (but can mount only in ro mode)
Ext2/3/4 (in kernel)
OpenBSD - can create and mount ext2 in rw mode, ext3/4 mounted in ro mode (ext4 has to be 32bit)
NetBSD - same as above
FAT32 (in kernel)
OpenBSD - works flawlessly, file size limit: 4GB - 1B
NetBSD - ditto
ZFS (in kernel)
OpenBSD - no
NetBSD - yes, allows for root on ZFS if boot partition is FFS
NTFS (in kernel)
OpenBSD - mounts in ro mode, works well
NetBSD - theoretically allows for ro mounting, but I was not able to achieve that :(
See ntfs-3g for rw mounting
Honorable mention - exFA(r)T (as FUSE) - can be recognized as NTFS, use mount.exfat, slow
Wanna transfer data from OpenBSD to NetBSD? Mount FFS in ro mode and siphon data off.
Wanna transfer data from NetBSD to OpenBSD? newfs_msdos is the answer or use exFAT/NTFS+ntfs-3g if you are patient.
Minor tip for those using FAT32 - command split(1) allows to cut tar archives into smaller parts which can be placed onto FAT partition. To merge them, use cat(1).
You probably know all that stuff.

Thank you, changing permissions of /dev/dri/* resolved glxgears errors, and also it seems
that glxgears started using V-sync which is probably good news. However, this
has not fixed firefox issue. I am struggling to understand it, because it occurs
only for firefox, only with hardware acceleration on and under any window
manager. It does not matter if I use nouveau or wsfb. Chromium looks good.

Tiny tip for people using #NetBSD and yt-dlp to download videos/music from YT:
if you need to use ffmpeg to merge video with music, you can symlink ffmpegX
(where is X is version of installed software) and ffprobeX to ffmpeg and ffprobe
respectively in /usr/pkg/bin, then yt-dlp will be able to find binaries.

I was able to find fanless GT 710 in reasonable pricing, everything looks good,
but there are 2 things which bother me:
(1) When running glxgears I get:
libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
but runs correctly. Last time as I was playing around with amdgpu driver and drm
devices, results were not great. Can I just skip those errors?
(2) When I run Firefox with hardware acceleration buttons and search bar do not
have rounded corners. Of course it is minor cosmetic thing, but I am wondering
if it is a matter of window manager (I use CTWM, btw) or GPU driver?

This might be interesting for people running old computers and by various
reasons do not use corporate web browsers. Of course if you use simple web
browser like #Dillo, #Links2, #Lynx, #w3m and any other, you may still want to block
connections with 3rd party sites. If you run #OpenBSD or #NetBSD then you have
few options:
(1) Use PiHole, Blocky, Gravastar - but this will not help if you are out of
home.
(2) Use unwind - if you are running OpenBSD.
(3) Use hblock or tblock.
Hblock and tblock are bash/python scripts which update /etc/hosts file using
blocklists available in the Internet. Hblock depends only on bash, so it will
work after some tweaks even on OS/2. Tblock depends on python and few its
modules, so on BSDs it needs manual installation, but it is a little more
user-friendly. Refer to: https://github.com/hectorm/hblock and
https://codeberg.org/tblock/tblock for more information! Remember: running
tblock in aggresive mode on Atom N210 will drain computing powers
enough to block your Internet conenction totally.

2026-07-22 08:06:48 UTC

So you are using Dillo browser, but you want to make web searching easier? In
dillorc file you can add more search engines adding lines like:
search_url="nm NetBSD Man https://man.netbsd.org/%s"
search_url="ps pkgsrc.se https://pkgsrc.se/search.php?so=tut"
search_url="wb wiby.me https://wiby.me/?q=%s"
Then in search bar you can type: "nm gpt" to recall how you can create new
GPT partition, don't ask why I am mentioning this particular command...
Looking for inspiration? Check dillorc of dillo-plus, there are listed more
search engines, but some of them are no longer working or started using JS -

(1) I am looking for GPU which will work out of box and give acceleration to web browser and tetris. I am going to review bsd-hardware.info and dmesgd.nycbug.org, but if someone is aware of good card I will happily take any advise. No new cards, no big power usage, HDMI. Currently I have RX550

No, I do not think that it is okay to add more LLM code. I think that there is no big interest to remove existing LLM code from base. The example is tmux which was notified at least twice or thrice on mailing lists and if people were asking about particular commit then devs shut up as a clam.
I am not pointing to Theo, I want to emphasize that if there is a policy (even if not written on the website) "no LLM code in base" then team should adhere to that.
CC: @nprofile…0xs4

2026-07-02 09:08:13 UTC

- reply

OpenBSD's base already contains LLM code, so it does not matter much if those tools will be baked into the base. The biggest problem is that Theo said no to LLM code because it cannot be licensed, but such code still sits in OS source. If OpenBSD is aimed to developers, OS should not allow you to prepare code which goes against its goals, at least in my opinion.

Who does not like backups? For sure everyone who run dd against root or home partition love them. You might be missing Pear's Time Machine or GNU/systemd's Time Shift. There is another - look here: https://xosc.org/timemachine.html. There you will find instruction how to make Time Machine-like encrypted backups installing only rsnapshot from ports. If you are smart - I am sure you are - you can easily modify the process to your needs. Have fun!

Well, NetBSD removed that unfortunate tmux slop code (at least I was not able to find it in the source code). That's my opinion - NetBSD says "no with loophole" and remove LLM code from source, OpenBSD says "no" and there is no interest to remove that stuff from their tmux. BUT I still give Fish Linux benefit of doubt because there are more examples of rejecting LLM code than inheriting it. In terms of (my) trust Net is a level higher than Open and both are much higher than Linux. Policies can be changed, so I think that the only thing which we left with is a trust.

Well, great part of those deps come from ffmpeg. I do not get why it brings e.g. libXaw (it is 2026, not 1996) or urw-fonts, but there is not much what can be done to decrease number of deps. Manual compilation of ffmpeg seems to be the only way, probably not worth losing time.

Maybe I was not clear earlier, but the only really needed ("hard") dependencies are python, js interpreter and ffmpeg. The first two have very little or none their own dependencies, the last one may have more, but it would be hard to convert/work on videos without stuff like dav1d or opus. IMO it does not seem to be a bunch of stuff.
