A warning about openbsdhandbook[.]com - this website has completely incorrect information for some things. Like hallucinated, even though I think it was created before LLMs.
- imwally 15d agoI made an edit to my post because you're not the only one to point this out. Just wanted to say thanks again!
- SoftTalker 23d agoFor BSD (especially OpenBSD) you can pretty much just use the man pages and the online FAQ. They are really good. If you want a book, Absolute OpenBSD is good though a bit out of date now. A lot of it would still be applicable though, if backed up by the current man pages. Reading undeadly.org is a another good way to keep up on developments.
- tolerance 23d agoWhile we are recommending and un-recommending resources https://romanzolotarev.com/bsd/ https://romanzolotarev.com/bsd/ has been my go-to. joshua stein's interest in getting OpenBSD running on anything he can provides useful insight too https://jcs.org/tagged/openbsd https://jcs.org/tagged/openbsd
- imwally 23d agoDang, I didn't know that. I thought it was decent enough to get people exposed to doas(1), pkg_add(1), syspatch(8), etc... from which they could then read the man pages. Thanks for pointing this out and I appreciate the other recommendations in this thread. Massive +1 for @jcs. That dude is awesome and puts out great stuff.
