I have confirmed that OpenBSD 7.8/i386 can successfully sysupgrade on vmm/vmd running on FuguIta 7.9. Thank you very much for your patience.

Hey @asus, did you just clone an already-installed linux image onto all GX10 DGX machines at the factory? Every one I've purchased has the same host ssh key. That means anyone with a GX10 essentially has the same GX10, from an ssh/encryption perspective. It's pretty simple to replace the key but unless you bought more than one, you wouldn't even know this was a problem.

llama.cpp now has an official website: llama.app Our goal is to make local AI accessible to everyone, and improving the user experience is a big part of that. On the new landing page you’ll find a single-line cross-platform installer. The installation provides a single unified `llama` entrypoint which you can use to run/serve models and interface with 3rd-party agentic applications. While oriented towards simplified user experience, the new `llama` application also provides all the advanced functionality of the existing llama.cpp tooling with which experienced users are already familiar. Also note that all GGUF models that you might have already downloaded with llama.cpp in the past will be automatically available to use without downloading again (they are stored in the common HF cache on your machine). We have many improvements in the pipeline both at the UX and at the engine level and we plan to iteratively ship new things over the coming months. One of the main focuses will be seamless integration with local-friendly 3rd-party agents (such as Pi). In the meantime, we’ll continue to listen for feedback from the community and adjust accordingly, so keep letting us know what you think and need.

OpenRiot v7.9.x -- the OpenBSD desktop you've always imaged. Start a Riot at OpenRiot.org
OpenRiot is a clean, minimal, ridiculously polished i3-based OpenBSD 7.9 setup with fish, Helix, and Polybar — all tuned so things just work. No more config drama, no more obscure package fights, no more “works on Linux” copium. Start a Riot at OpenRiot.org

最近ちょくちょく見かける OpenRiot openriot.org 「openBSD 7.9 用の、驚くほど洗練された i3 デスクトップ環境」だそうだ。 河豚板 7.9の上に載るかな。試してみよう 「ディスク 25GB以上推奨 100GB以上が最適」ってのが気になる。別パーティション切ったほうがいいかも

“Why can’t an OpenBSD installation just work correctly and be usable without a hundred hours of fiddling?” Now it can. Start a Riot OpenRiot.org There's an invite-only Signal group for issues as well as github.com/cyphrriot/OpenRio… WARNING: Very BETA.
Linux has become untenable. Infighting, political mandates, age verification proposals, pre-compiled binary blobs, endless bloat, and a growing disregard for actual security have turned what was once a tool for sovereignty into something else entirely. Ubuntu now feels like Windows with extra steps. Even Arch, the distro I built ArchRiot on, is showing the same fractures. For anyone who values control over their own machine, this is no longer acceptable. It's time to start a Riot on OpenBSD. OpenRiot is a complete, one-command desktop recreation of ArchRiot, but built on OpenBSD 7.8 . Same philosophy -- minimal, themed, tiling, privacy-first, but running on the most audited, stable, and sovereign Unix-like OS still standing. No blobs. No telemetry. No compromise. Why OpenBSD? Because every line in the base system is audited. Pledge and unveil enforce least privilege by design. Softraid CRYPTO gives real full-disk encryption without the complexity creep of LUKS. The release model is predictable, not rolling chaos. And the defaults are secure out of the box -- exactly what serious users have been missing since the first Linux distro. OpenRiot delivers • Sway Waybar tiling desktop with full CypherRiot theming • Native WiFi, suspend, trackpoint, power management • Fish, Neovim (fully configured and themed), Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium, btop, foot terminal, and dozens more "just works" pre-installed applications • One-command post-install script or a pre-built installation ISO, just like ArchRiot Your sovereignty, your rules. No distribution politics involved. This isn’t a downgrade. It’s a deliberate upgrade in stability and reliability. We are removing the Hyprland rice and porting everything cleanly to Sway. The system stays lean, fast, and auditable -- the way a desktop should be when you actually depend on it. OpenRiot is for people who use their machines as extensions of their own sovereignty. If you’re tired of distros that treat you like a user instead of an owner, this is for you. No marketing fluff. No identity nonsense. Just code that respects you. We've spend hours turning OpenBSD into a system that just works from the initial install and looks and feels like a modern desktop, just like we did with ArchRiot. Full documentation, setup script, ISO, and and open source repository dropping sometime in April or May 2026 at OpenRiot.org. Until then, the website is updated constantly with progress, including hardware requirements, best-practices, and much more. The riot continues. Now it’s built on a foundation that doesn't bend to politics or convenience. Security. Stability. Control. A Functional OpenBSD Desktop System.

I keep saying it. Pitching is so broken it's breathtaking. Just take a peek at the 1st pitch of the SD/LA game. Spin rate? Check! Velocity? Check! Command? Nowhere to be seen. I cannot explain how FAR from pitching this is. On the first pitch, hell the first inning, you are working your fastball around the zone to get a feel for the corners and your command. You might throw 2 of your 3-4 pitches but most nights April to September you don't show your arsenal in the first, you need to get hitters out a couple times. You hold on to the 3 and 4 pitches that you setup in the 1st AB and in the hitters ahead of a guy for later ABs. I am unsure I can explain just how far this one pitch, and the ENTIRE process behind it, is removed from pitching. Having said that I do NOT blame the pitchers. The game is to blame. When you're working on 300 million dollar deals hoping to get 150 innings from a guy, that tells ya all you need to know. It's certainly not an easy fix, nor a quick one, but from the draft to MLB there is ABSOLUTELY a process to 'fix' this crap. Not to mention fewer DL stints, fewer TJ surgeries and longer shelf life for SP.

Eric Schmidt should’ve stopped mid-speech and said: “Fine. Boo AI. But make your next Preply class Chinese, because the civilization cheering this stuff is not waiting for you to finish your campus struggle session.” China’s grandmas are lining up to install AI tools. Chinese developers are shipping open-source models like their hair is on fire. Their public is overwhelmingly positive about AI (83% feel positive about the future while in the west we are circling the drain around 30%). Their companies are moving fast, copying fast, improving fast, innovating fast, deploying fast. And in America? Our most educated children boo the mere mention of the most important technology since electricity. Why? Because our AI leadership class has spent three years doing the dumbest possible PR campaign in the history of technology. One half of them tells everyone AI will kill them. The other half tells everyone AI will take every white-collar job in 18 months. Then the closed-model cartel runs to DC whispering that ordinary people cannot be trusted with powerful open-source AI, that the future must be locked behind a handful of corporate APIs, safety boards, export controls, permission slips, and East India Company monopolies. And everyone acts shocked when the kids hate it. You told them AI means unemployment. You told them AI means extinction. You told them AI means no future. Then you walk onto a graduation stage and say “AI” and wonder why they boo. This is what strategic suicide looks like. The country that taught the world to love computers, the internet, open source, startups, hackers, builders, weirdos, tinkerers, and permissionless innovation is now teaching its children to fear the next platform shift. Meanwhile China looked at AI and said: deploy it, open it, copy it, improve it, integrate it, normalize it. We looked at AI and said: regulate it, monopolize it, catastrophize it, litigate it, protest the datacenters, ban the open models, blame every layoff on it, then act mystified when the public thinks it’s a demon machine. NIMYBs are moving from blocking housing to blocking datacenters. The same folks that stopped nuclear, the cleanest energy we have, are now joining hands with the NIMYBs. The hard right nationalists in Bannon and the hard left socialists in Bernie are joining hands in a new American party with mad Max Tegmark spending billions to terrify children about AI. Wonder what they'll call themselves? Maybe the National Socialists? The West does not have an AI capability problem. It has an AI civilizational-confidence problem. And if we keep telling our kids that the future is something to boo, don’t be surprised when the future answers back in Mandarin.
3 commencement speakers were booed at the mention of Artificial Intelligence (Video) 1. Eric Schmidt, Google CEO 2. Scott Borchetta, Big Machine Records CEO 3. Gloria Caulfield, Tavistock Development VP
