Did you seriously bring a gun to a sword fight !?
As the next release is slowly cooking, I'd like to mention an artist that I love: @pmjv, or prahou. He's been dedicated to submitting awesome artwork about his universe, here at /c/unix_surrealism, which features many openbsd related comics (puffy being an important protagonist).
I was thus wondering how an artist could pretend at submitting an artwork for the next release ? Is it a shortlist ? Do you simply upload some on the mail list ?
Gotta punch holes in the screen and hammer the keyboard a bit haha. But remember friends, Hardware is forever.

Until the hunt opens, check out the Guest book !
CYB3R HUNT is an epochalyptic online adventure of which you are the hero! Check out the about page, the rules, and prepare for the opening on the 31^st^ of october !
Artworks are made by prahou, creator of the unix_surrealism universe (check out his mastodon account for the image on the background, and more quality content!).
As for the programs running :
WILL lie would be more appropriate right?
Came back from a trip in Corsica where we climb the most mental slab I've ever put my hands on !

On the 19th of January [...] The admin team was helpless. In the split of a second, the whole CYBFARM network went down. Every subsystem on the planet stopped, and there was nothing they could do against it. The CYBFARM has always been autonomous, and nobody had enough knowledges of its internals to debug or fix anything.
Hopefully, a few minutes later, the first system came back up: the security module. Then other subsystems rebooted one after the others, and the production of goods restarted as expected.
We later found that an overflow occurred in the system clock. This caused a disruption of the internal message bus of the CYBFARM, which entered a locked state, and shut itself down to prevent harming the subsystems. The CYBFARM eventually found and patched the bug automatically, without any external intervention from our part. This was the first time in History that [an autonomous system] healed itself without human action!
This is such a major milestone in History!

The CYB3R HUNT will be starting soon… Spread the word, and get ready!

Case stared at the old laptop.
Is it broken ?
Molly closed the lid, and put it next the others, all destroyed by the CYBFARM security module.
There must be a way to bypass it...

Or just set tabsize to 9, that's the point :)
Tabs for indent, spaces for alignment. This is the way, I can't believe people are still fighting that ?
Because other people might have restricted environment which might not suit their preference is not a good reason to level it down IMO.
Also, I think 9 is the best size for indent (matter of preference), do you think I should switch to space so everyone can enjoy this wonderful view I have ?
I'm in awe or you and the techno-mage storyline. Thanks for doing this all !
A VPN is easy to setup (and I have it setup by the way), but no VPN is even easier. SSH by itself is sufficiently secure if you keep it up to date with a sane configuration. Bots poking at my ssh port is not something that bother me at all, and not part of any attack vector I want to be secure against.
Out of all the services I expose to the clear web, SSH is probably the one I trust the most.
Yeah I know, I just don't really care about that traffic to bother changing it :) Also, I'm talking about a server hosted on Hetzner, so I feel like it's scanned a lot.
I get what you say, and you're definitely not wrong to do it. But as I see it, you only saved ~80Kib of ingress and a few lines of logs in the end. From my monitoring I get ~5000 failed auth per day, which account for less than 1Mbps average bandwidth for the day.
It's not like it's consuming my 1Gbps bandwidth or threatening me as I enforce ssh key login. I like to keep things simple, and ssh on port 22 over internet makes it easy to access my boxes from anywhere.
Is that how the techno-mage met the master for the first time ?
There might be some parts that end up not working sometimes, I need to fix that eventually (like process freezing or stuff like that). But the whole adventure is self contained so everything should remain available as long as the site is up !
