Yep, I've done it countless times. I've upgraded from 3 versions on one machine in little time. Granted it's not pluuratiog-and-play and does require some oversight.
I misunderstood your comment to mean you need to do a full reinstall from scratch, meaning configuration and setup. That is not the case.
I've used it on and off on the desktop since the late 90's. It takes a bit more work to get going as you want, but in the end you have a system that works.
It has all the tools I need for my day-to-day work (outside of needing Windows on our domain and Outlook for office communications)
"with OpenBSD, you must reinstall the whole system at least once a year, if you want to keep it secure"
Nonsense. There is an upgrade option when you boot from the ISO or ISO image. Here how you upgrade from 6.3 -> 6.4. I have gone this route for years and it has never failed me. Just be sure to check what it is suggesting and watch the diffs.
I use uMatrix and the "CSS Exfil Protection" add-on for Firefox. There are some sites I use that need CSS to be even remotely useable. Check it out, it has a test page.
I wouldn't mind a quick salute from goat.cx and tub girl. like the old days
I'm one of those odd people who would laugh when tricked into clicking a goatse or tubgirl link. Some of the best would have a long, thoughtful reply to a story as bait to click the link.
Cool, I've wanted a pure, open machine for ages. What do you run and recommend for something that will give me complete source for all operational aspects?

OpenBSD Just Works.

MS suffered the slashdot effect and are begging for mercy. Never underestimate the power of dozens, perhaps hundreds of nerds going to your website.
Was that the PowerPC 6100? I had a PPC 6100/66 with the 486 card in it. I was able to upgrade the CPU to a fast 486DX just by swapping it in.
Those were the days.

Different containers for social media sites, uMatrix, Self-Destructing Cookies, etc. address all that.
Remember Michael Sims? The day that mouth-breathing cretin was shown the door was a good day.
Thanks, I was sure I had seem him much more recently.

This was one of those headlines that had me say something ("Oh no") out loud. Am I reading it right, he hasn't edited on
51% is now considered dominance.
Time Machine isn't dependent on an Airport base station.
Both work on non-Apple devices. I have a big TimeMachine ZFS dataset on a NAS4Free box.
I thought the headline meant they booted up the actual car from the crash to go through the computer.
Me too. They should call it something like D1VX or Xv1d.
I hope he finds his virgin.
Do it in DNS.Way easier to block the entire domain.
OpenBSD has had MP for many years.
Could you please check HBO's site to see if season 2 of Westworld is out yet? It's scheduled for April 22.
I've used it since the late 90's. I'm sure there are more assholes than Theo and I using it.
Thanks! I'm leery of most PC hardware. OpenBSD opened my eyes to 'binary blobs' many years ago.

Me? Nah.
You might run OpenBIOS. Do you have the source code the firmware on your network, graphics, USB, Bluetooth, etc. add ons?
Do you run open source firmware on your PC, various chips, etc.?
