Very much looking forward to Ori Bernstein (ori@)'s #EuroBSDCon 2026 talk "GEFS: The File Shredder of the Future"
Ori Bernstein (ori@) has sent an "early preview" diff for GEFS, the "Good enough file system" to #OpenBSD tech@.
GEFS is a new crash-safe, snapshotting, copy on write [filesystem]

While still experimental, GEFS has been used in production on 9front/plan9.

Ori Bernstein is porting GEFS, the crash-safe, snapshotting, copy-on-write filesystem originally written for 9front, to OpenBSD.
GEFS on OpenBSD: a very early preview
The Good Enough File System, originally developed for 9front, is being ported to OpenBSD.
For those who haven't watched my talk, GEFS is a new, crash-safe, snapshotting, copy on write FS that I wrote for 9front, and which I am in the process of moving to OpenBSD. The file system is described in full here.

Breaking! 🚨 🎉 Ayer quedó finalmente instalado en el rack de servidores de Undernet el equipo dedicado a la comunidad Tilde-UnderNET. Se trata de un proyecto Pubnix (servidor Unix de acceso público) corriendo sobre OpenBSD 7.9 con servicios legacy como IRC, finger, FTP, Usenet, Gopher y Gemini. La idea es fomentar el intercambio de ideas, código y experiencias en un entorno donde se privilegia el uso de la terminal de texto plano. No tenemos claro si es la primera iniciativa de este estilo en Uruguay (o por lo menos activa) y nos motiva mucho inaugurar nuestro propio rincón nerd. Todavía quedan un par de cosas por pulir, pero ya tenemos varios servicios online y funcionando. Les dejo algunas capturas. Si quieren solicitar una cuenta pueden hacerlo enviando un correo a contacto@undernet.uy con las razones para unirse, un username de login y una llave pública SSH. Todavía estamos discutiendo, proponiendo cosas y tirando ideas. Nuestro canal de discusión principales son el grupo de XMPP xmpp:tilde@salas.undernet.uy?join y la propia Usenet interna #tilde #plaintext #textoplano #retro #consola #terminal #unix #pubnix #uruguay #undernet #openbsd #nerd
Bueno, comenzamos la migración de la comunidad Tilde Undernet al nuevo servidor dedicado OpenBSD y estamos finalizando el nuevo servidor de respaldo cifrado redundante. Luego de todo esto, se viene una tremenda, pero no voy a adelantar nada aún #tilde #undernet #plaintext #textoplano #openbsd #bsd #pubnix #uruguay

In #openbsd what is called #vi is actually #nvi, and when you install #nvi from ports, it is #nvi2.
To danes with our national characters æøå we need the latter because #vi prints two byte hex sequences for æ, ø, or å. #vi handles them correctly except for the printing of them.
#vi and #nvi use the same #man page.
Update:
On #netbsd #vi is also #nvi. Here you must install #nvi2 to get #nvi if you need æ, ø, and å support.
Best wishes from T. R. Dane (The Real Dane ;)
