If the upgrade to OpenBSD 6.6 is not an in place upgrade, please remember to add my RF Assistant software to the new build. Thank you for your hard work!
Recent security updates required a reboot of the server. Overall, the
system has been very stable, with 222 days of continuous uptime that
was only interrupted due to the security update. There have been two
instances of the Netnews server consuming all avalaible PTYs, which
were resolved without a reboot in both cases.
Unfortunately, after the reboot both the web and netnews services
were not properly restarted. The netnews server is currently started
manually, and needs to be updated to restart automatically.
The web server should have restarted automatically, but was
prevented due to a race condition with Wireguard for establishing
secure connections to other participating Tildeverse servers. The
Wireguard/VPN dependency has been removed for the time being until
the race condition can be resolved.
The local 'chat' command is not currently working, as the IRC tunnel
requirements have changed within the Tildeverse. A new approach is
being investigated, and will be implemented as soon as possible.
Going forward, the system will need to be updated to OpenBSD 6.6.
Once that is ready to be done, a maintenance downtime window will
be announced.
I appreciate everyone being here. Please let me know if there is
anything that will make the system more useful.
One last item, I've been away from IRC lately due to a confluence
of family issues and stupid IRC client issues. However, I do login
at least once per day and check email/news. If there are any issues
and I'm not on IRC, please hit me up with an email.

Hi All -
Not sure what you like to use to browse gopherspace, but I highly
recommend Bombadillo (https://tildegit.org/sloum/bombadillo). I've been
using it on several pubnixes including radiofreqs. If Matthew is
amenable, it could be installed system-wide fairly easily. I'm always on
the look out for other options for browsing gopherspace as well, so feel
free to reply with what you like to use!
