--- this is kindof unrelated to @bugs, is it okay if say in the middle of thread I decide to post(a Re:) to @misc or something else? Take for example this thread, it was relevant right before UDENIX and this email. So can I cross-post to different threads per-say? I know that that OpenBSD list archiving website won't like that... Me too. If I2P implementations were to not be flawed (both i2pd and java I2P are in my opinion) a "little" bit (java one literally uses http lmao), then I2P would be the perfect network, that which internet should have been.. OpenBSD folks love networking, but it seems like almost none use I2P... makes me wonder just how much do they know about I2P to begin with? Find more about I2P at https://i2pd.website . It would also be nice if it were updated more frequently in ports :-) Software such as that has a even more security-caused hurry for updating than OpenBSD patches are, because people's lives might depend wether or not the network and (more importantly) you the user, have the networking software implementation up to date. I contributed a little bit to I2Pd (configuration file clearup, shared the guides on how to use it trough RUSTED qBittorrent, and finally shared crash logs of i2pd), but I2P needs a implementation in C that's suckless and not bloated and utter shit that i2pd in C++ is. I hope to step in one day and do just that.. the i2pd developers are Russian stubborn grannies. > > Grettings, fellow gentlemen and ladies. > > Hereby I want to announce the following issue that I got while running > > `torsocks sysupgrade -n` on 1 machine. > > > > Dmesg should be attached below. > > I'll summarize the sysupgrade output because the X11 doesn't work right > > now so I can't easily copy everything now because of the current bug. > > > > > > Fetching from [REDACTED for increased anonymity] > > SHA256.sig 100% ... > > Signature Verified > > BUILDINFO 100% ... > > INSTALL.amd64 100% ... > > [literally everything else from base76.tgz to xshare76.tgz, all 100%] > > Verifying sets. > > (SHA256) bsd: FAILED > > [literally everything else from this bsd to xshare76, all FAILED] > > > > and that's where it ends. > > If it were because of the transition to 76, then it would stop immediately, > > right? > > In all of my time of using OpenBSD, this is the 1st time this has happened > > to me. > > Does this have something to do with the specific mirror that I use? > > Is that mirror being fishy? > > I use Tor for anonymity reasons and have done this many times successfully. > > The currently used snapshot should be like from within 24 hours. > > > > Speaking of sysupgrade, if I use it with I2P (installurl is a localhost link > > to a I2P tunnel that goes to a I2P mirror for OpenBSD), then sometimes it > > just > > quits with 0 output, shortly after starting, OR > > case b) it stalls forever, which probably has something to do with what > > Solene > > said for this exact use-case - ftp drops the connection way too soon. > > I made the entire process exactly ONCE, and it was such a good feeling! > > > > Nothing better than downloading a snapshot for half a day, at 0-50kb/s :') > > seriously, it feels like the good old days, except you're more-less > > anonymous, > > safe and cozy. > > > > It wouldn't be bad to have a verbose option for sysupgrade like some other > > utilities do, but it more-less gets the job done so ohwell :/ >
