I've been scouring the internet trying to find whether NetBSD can utilise a pi camera , then I can work on getting a mpeg server running to use it. 🤞

Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for the reply , I've been using the IRC channel quite a bit these last couple of weeks, it's been quite nice using IRC again.

Thank you for the information, this is inspiring to know that so many people are working on NetBSD. I wasn't aware that foundation had a full time employee, is the aim to work towards more full time employees if the donations continue to increase?

@tfb@bsd.cafe @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org

Annoyingly , I found it in the end, can't believe I overlooked the community page.....DOH!

but thank you for the reply all the same

@washbear@mastodon.sdf.org

ooh, I didn't know there were other forums, where are these forums?

do you mind if I ask how many developers work on NetBSD? of course I understand all the work on NetBSD is by volunteers this is all just about better understanding the team that create this amazing OS.

edit: I managed to find the forums, I somehow managed to overlook the community page on the website

Is it possible to get a Raspberry pi camera working with the BSD's ?

#raspberrypi
#netbsd
#openbsd
#freebsd
#runbsd

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org

Out of interest, why does NetBSD not have a forum to get help and ask questions?

I'm trialling irssi which seems quite nice at the moment, but thanks for the tip also.

@radhitya@fedi.welack.org
thanks for the hexachat suggestion checking it out now.

thanks for the suggestion, checking out irssi now

can anyone recommend an IRC client for OpenBSD? I've been getting into IRC again lately and Halloy was the best I found on linux, but its noit available on OpenBSD.

Any suggestions for a gui options?

#irc
#openbsd
#runbsd

I think I need to look at how to add a relay to increase my reach and number of known domains, but otherwise I have similar numbers to yourself which is interesting.

This is pretty interesting, I just happen to have a kobo clara e-reader sitting here not doing much at all. I may have to look into what I can do with it.

@hund@fosstodon.org I should have explained this is a VPN to my home network so I can use services on my LAN and maintain them when remote. I always use a VPN for searching. But I don't need this VPN active unless I need to access the LAN

What's your OS of choice for gaming ?

Currently I use CachyOS but I'm open to suggestions from the wisdom of the fediverse.
(Except Windows, it's the bane of my life)

#gaming
#steam
#pcgaming
#unix

@hund@fosstodon.org I managed to set it up with WG and hostname.wg0 , the native option on OpenBSD but then it's always on.
So I think I will go the wg-quick route , like I have on my other machines.

Any one using OpenBSD with XFCE, how do you power off and reboot ? Command line only or have you managed to get the panel buttons working ?

#openbsd
#xfce

Edit: managed to work it out , add my user to _shutdown group

Hi fediverse,

what's the best way to setup Wireguard on a OpenBSD laptop (client) where I only need the VPN occasionally ? i.e I want to be able to enable and disable when needed.

#openbsd
#wireguard

Funny you should say that , last night I felt adventurous and installed OpenBSD on another drive as you mentioned , it went without a hitch. I wasn't so lucky with fuguita , I couldn't get passed the allocated memory question. I will test more today, but I think I will I stall OpenBSD on my SSD, it seemed a lot more stable that FreeBSD on this laptop.
