A simple shell status bar for OpenBSD and cwm(1)

The idea behind termbar is to launch an terminal that will loop printing the information you want ; via a shell script. It’s a bit like using xsetroot with dwm(1). That terminal will be ignored by cwm(1) and stay in some reserved placed...

OpenBSD Laptop.

Hi, I know it’s been a while. I recently had to nuke and re-pave my personal laptop and I thought it would be a nice thing to share with the community how I set up OpenBSD on it so that I have a useful, modern, secure environment for getting work done. I’m not going to say I’m the expert on this or that this is the BEST way to set up OpenBSD, but I thought it would be worthwhile for folks doing Google searches to at least get my opinion on this. So, given that, let’s go…

Calibrate your touch-screen on OpenBSD

I didn’t expected it but my refurbished T460s came with a touch-screen. It is recognized by default on OpenBSD and not well calibrated as-is. But that’s really simple to solve.

AAA gaming on OpenBSD with Google Stadia

robert@ updated OpenBSD's chromium port to enable Stadia. This significantly expands what is possible in terms of gaming on OpenBSD. In this video, I provide some game footage from OpenBSD with discussion of performance, pros, cons, and the implications for users with different interests in gaming and OpenBSD.

Top 12 best opensource games available on OpenBSD.

This article features the 12 best games (in my opinion) in term of quality and fun available in OpenBSD packages. The list only contains open source games that you can install out of the box. This means that game engines requiring proprietary (or paid) game assets are not part of this list.

My Fanless OpenBSD Desktop.

After the disappointment of my X1 Nano and learning that all future Intel “Evo”-branded laptops would lack S3 suspend, I started thinking about returning to my M1 MacBook full-time or building an OpenBSD desktop. I chose the latter, building my first desktop machine in many years...

OpenBSD on the HiFive Unmatched.

My desktop's power supply died, and rather than replace the ill-fated PSU I decided to go with something different. OpenBSD's new riscv64 port looked interesting, so I got a HiFive Unmatched to see how it would work as an OpenBSD desktop...
