R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵 :MiraLovesYou:<a href="https://techhub.social/@oz1tmm" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@oz1tmm</a>I use say on one box, i3wm on my <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> box, and <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/plasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plasma</a> everywhere else.I used to daily-drive <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a> at work, but sometimes it's nice to have an environment that looks like windows (for the office).For my workflow at work, overlapping windows just seems to work best. Otherwise I love the simplicity and efficiency of <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sway</a>.

Shawn WebbOTP mode isn't the only mode that causes a <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/Yubikey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Yubikey</a> to present as a keyboard. Static password mode also does that.For my system, I use a Yubikey in static password mode. I first enter my memorized master password, then I have to touch the Yubikey to append the static password stored there.I wonder if this <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> change would now lock me out of my system (if I were to use OpenBSD, that is): <a href="http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20250822064253" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20250822064253</a><a href="https://bsd.network/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#infosec</a>

And rendered <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.anduin.net/tag/openbsd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> useless for people who use Yubikeys for OTPs, which is a *perfectly valid use case*, just because someone is annoyed with random strings being emitted. There are a couple of problems with this attitude and approach, for example that - Yubikeys aren't the only ones doing this, they are just the most common(?) devices - That there isn't (wasn't - there's a proposed patch but no idea if it'll be accepted) even a way to re-enable it for those of us who need this functionality - It's an arrogant, elitist douche move (not the first, but a pretty blatant one, and directly impacting regular users who have been using OpenBSD for many, many years) - The argument that "reconfiguring the yubikey is hard" is just complete horse shit; users already know this and they still choose the yubikey over other devices. Their problem; not one for the OS to "solve". I appreciate and applaud the OpenBSD project for taking strong policy stances in system design and security matters. They are trailblazers and have many excellent ideas, concepts and inventions to their name, which other operating systems either adopt or envy. This is not one of those policies. It's just a "fuck you, regular user" policy. There is no valid security concern here, and even if there was - this is not a solution. It's just someone taking their ire out on a single company when there are many doing the same thing. Oh and trying desperately to be as cool as Linus by acting like a bloody 4 year old on the mailing lists. Sheesh.

10; DROP TABLE records --I understand that in <a href="https://exquisite.social/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> you can grow partitions, but can you shrink them? Like I need to chop off 40g from /home and create a new partition -- how do I go about it? Tried <code>umount /home && disklabel -E && newfs</code> but I just ended up destroying /home. Is this possible, and if yes, how? Checked <code>growfs(8)</code> and <code>tunefs(8)</code> manpages but I am left thinking, "only at install"?

This goes back to 2001.

Don't get me wrong I love <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> too but OpenBSD has some how captured my heart and is making me want to implement it in as many places as possible in my desktop / home lab.
