OpenBSD 6.4 Released (openbsd.org)
The 45th version of the OpenBSD project has been released, bringing more hardware support (Radeon driver updates, Intel microcode integration, and more), a virtualization tool that supports the disk format qcow2, and a network interface where you can quickly join and switch between different Wi-Fi networks.
Root.cz also notes that audio recording is now disabled by default. If you need to record audio, it can be enabled with the new sysctl variable. An anonymous Slashdot reader first shared the announcement. You can download it from any of the mirrors here.

When did FreeBSD adapt the Code of Cancer?
Or is OpenBSD still best used as a firewall / server / NAS ?
The CoC hardly affect the user. Unless that user is a NPC.
Is anyone using OpenBSD?
OpenBSD actually does have a code of conduct:
"Shut up and hack!"
yes it does, it sacrifices technical excellence for SJW fad of the day.
February 2018, the wusses
This version you have heard about did not exist. It never did. Any rumors that it may have are lies.
I remember it doesn't support a lot of hardware.
Has / will OpenBSD adopt some of the grsecurity / pax hardening techniques (or all of them)?
Address space randomization, non executable pages, etc etc etc.
FUCK LINUX AND THE FUCKING WOMYN WHO RUN THE SHOW IN OSS FUCK!!!!
Men do the work, WOMEN rule over them
I can very much understand preferring BSD if that's the environment you cut your teeth on. Is there anyone who didn't have that history who looked at both Linux and BSD and decided the latter better served their needs?
I went out to OpenBSD's grave on Decoration Day. The old forgotten cemetery is to be found adjacent to the dark woods beyond the edge of town. There within olfactory distance of the municipal treatment plant you will find OpenBSD's final resting place.
OpenBSD's tombstone was shrouded by thick mosses and knots of noxious ivy. A mournful funerary crow sounded the requiem, as I gently pulled aside the tangled twists of thorns, and cleaned the decaying marker the best I could. A suffocating melancholia filled my heart, while I pondered that this indeed was OpenBSD's figurative charnel house of which so many have plaintively spoken.
Nothing is so pitiful as an untended grave, a loved one now forgotten. The short sad life of this doomed and fated OS makes us realize that there but for the grace of God go all of us.
I planted some wilting marigolds, found discarded in the waste heap behind the caretaker's shack, wishing that by some miracle these fleurs de mort might take root and bring a modicum of cheer to OpenBSD's God forsaken plot. My fervent hope is that the torpid colored boy, who so carelessly mows the grounds, doesn't slice them down, inadvertently mirroring OpenBSD's own doomed encounter with death's irresistible scythe.
Funny how things work out. Linux, that brilliant novam stellam, now runs the Internet and the world's fastest computers, while OpenBSD lies moldering within its forgotten crypt. Let the barren silence of OpenBSD's tomb be a mute reminder that hubris and braggadocio were no defense on that woeful day when the Angel of Death's bleak umbra was cast upon OpenBSD.
New Theo-linux!!!!! So damned exciting.. been waiting for 6.4!!!! 3
Free Software world hero Linus Torvalds was forced to resign from the Linux kernel project by blackmail. He fell for a honeytrap and was threatened with a #MeToo purge if he didn't resign. It's a corporate power grab, using Social Just-Us as a tool.
Who is this "Single Jesuit Woman" everyone speaks of...?
It is more important to have "convenience" features operating than having a secure OS. That is what you are telling us in a nutshell.
There are people who disagree. The computer world is already a cesspool of crime and subversion. OpenBSD shows the way out. ACPI or not.
Whoever is not pursuing world-domination ideas like you, must be "in a grave". Keep emitting the hype.
...you have nothing to say, it is best to keep silent. Thereby you cannot embarass yourself. Now go back to your goo-crippled Linux telefone.
But they DO have release songs (although only up to 6.1):

Really, when you think about it, you immediately realize that BSD is D E A D.
That's the way it goes in life. Some are winners, some are losers, some die young. BSD lost and died young. Oh well, that's the way it crumbles, cookie-wise.
Really? You don't think the competence of the developer impacts the user?
Guns don't kill people; Physics kills people! - John Lithgow as Dick Solomon on Third Rock From The Sun
What is the "Code of Cancer"?
...I must run Oracle databases, and they have not run on OpenBSD since Linux emulation is removed.
I do have a soft spot for the OS, and I upgraded my home system last night. I'm wondering if I should upgrade the SPARC at work without telling anyone.
Greetings. Iâ(TM)m curious from anyone thatâ(TM)s used OpenBSD what is still missing or either desktop or enterprise networking purposes? For compute performance there are definitely some cases where OpenBSD wouldnâ(TM)t necessarily make sense, but besides performance Iâ(TM)d love to have constructive feedback on what folks would like to see. Some comments Iâ(TM)ve heard are lack of support for things like high end 40g nics, or even in the 10g nic space, thereâ(TM)s very little thatâ(TM)s supported outside of stuff from intel. On the desktop side Iâ(TM)ve heard some requests for the latest wifi standards and more support for the wifi that comes with your laptop as well as better support for usb3. Iâ(TM)m curious if thereâ(TM)s anything else. Also note, I think the devs who do the work on networking/wifi/usb do amazing jobs, and theyâ(TM)d love to see others join the effort by contributing diffs etc.
It's what babies call it when a company has a code of conduct.
but these days on my notebook you'll find Linux. Never used OpenBSD on desktop, but on server it was really reliable. I was able to live with limited app selection, there are too many crappy apps anyway :). I don't care about desktop environment, I can live with i3 or gnome or whatever quite happily. I don't care if it's systemd or other init what's starting my system, probably because I'm not religious. I can live with bash, ksh, csh, but I prefer fish. I just need good terminal, (n)?vim, development environment and from time to time edit video, photos, print and all this on relatively cheap hardware. Looks to me this is easier to achieve in linux. Linux firewall solutions compared to pf are somehow inferior, but as of late I've noticed I'm spending all my time deploying *containers*, either docker or lxc, either standalone or in k8s. All this on OpenStack, openshift and their friends. Guess what, these things are linux ( mostly exclusively ) and I'm sometimes wondering, if out there someone still works with old good [Free|Open]BSD.
