When I least expected it, I witnessed the strongest possible contrast. While I was watching a video of the Artemis II astronauts, something truly amazing for humanity, I received the photos of the f...

My wife keeps telling me "don't trust anyone, people are awful".
I refused to take this "advice" seriously for a long time.

But now, watching what is happening around, I think she was/is right.
Maybe I just owe her apology ?

No it's network based, below is from their FAQ. KDE Connect uses dynamic ports in the range 1714-1764 for UDP and TCP. So if you are behind a firewall, make sure to open this port range for both TCP and UDP. Otherwise, make sure your network is not blocking UDP broadcast packets. CC: nostr:nprofil...

Dear #OpenBSD friends. I feel like I owe everyone thank you for so many suggestions about #backup tools.

Last few days I tried to rsync OS together with home data to an external, encrypted disk and then make it bootable. So I have backup and a nice recovery tool at the same time.

Umfortunately I can't make it boot. Seems like kernel does not assemble encrypted softraid disk while booting from USB. It goes sideways while booting with "root device (duuid of softraid disk) not found".

Any ideas ? πŸ˜€

So, for all those people that suffer from poor Firefox performance on #OpenBSD.

Here is my recipe. I did not do any professional comparisons. It's just my personal feeling that FF feels much more snappy:

1. Increase OS resource limits -----> https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/openbsd-on-a-laptop/.

2. Go to Betterfox site -----> https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox.

3. Copy user.js content from above repo and create user.js file in your profile directory (/home/$username/.config/mozilla/firefox/profile.$name).

4. Paste below if your GPU is supported in "My overrides" section:

user_pref("identity.fxaccounts.enabled", false);
user_pref("layers.acceleration.force-enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.webrender.enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.webgpu.force-enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.webrender.all", true);

Profit ! Doing above increased speed of my Firefox install at least twice. YMMV.

Please don't kill me :openbsd:
