▲ 9 r/openbsd

I'm trying to get the basic necessities working on my 2022 m2 mac I posted about earlier. I'm specifically missing the firmware file apple-bwfm/brcmfmac4387c2-pcie.apple,hokkaido.bin. I can infer that this file wasn't included in the distribution because it's proprietary, but where can I find it?

I've done some light digging for it, it seems like it exists somewhere within the asahi project? and also I heard tell of an official apple endpoint that I might be able to download this from, but I'm stuck.

(my backup plan if I can't figure this out is to just bite the bullet and switch to Asahi Fedora.. But I'm hoping I can figure it out without too much trouble!)

Thanks for any help!!

My first time booting a BSD, M2 Mac <3

Hey all! Just wanted to celebrate: I successfully booted into OpenBSD on my 2022 M2 Macbook Air! I wasn't able to find much documentation of other people having done this, so I wanted to share my experience a little.

I got stuck for a while, basically where u-boot would fail to boot into OpenBSD using install78.img. I hit my head on it a bunch until I randomly tried miniroot, which worked flawlessly of course.

Huge Thanks to everyone who made this possible! I never thought I'd be able to run anything other than macOS on this machine, so I'm over the moon with OpenBSD so far. Even if I don't really know what I'm doing yet haha...

Typie: a suckless typing practice tool

https://codeberg.org/y1nz/typie

Hey yall!

I just wanted to share this little tool I made, based on some incomplete code NRK gave me in the IRC. It takes in a prompt as an argument, runs a typing test using stdin/out, and then writes statistics to stdout or a file. It has pretty colors and I've been using it to log my typing speed over time, and to learn the dvorak layout >:)

It's around 800 lines of C code total, although my coding style tends to produce lots of lines as I never abbreviate anything lol.

Hope you find it useful, I had an awesome time writing it! :3
