OpenBSD 6.9 released

OpenBSD 6.9 has been released. This release focuses a lot on improving support for certain platforms, such as powerpc64 - mainly for modern POWER9 systems such as the Blackbird (which we reviewed late last year) and Talos II (which I have here now for review), arm64, and preliminary support for Apple's ARM M1 architecture. There is way, way more in this release, of course, so feel free to peruse the release notes.

On a related note, I recently bought an HP Visualize C3750 PA-RISC workstation, and it's been pretty much impossible to get my hands on a proper copy of HP-UX 11i v1 that works on the machine. As such, in the interim, I installed OpenBSD on it, and it's been working like a charm. I still need to set up and try X, but other than that, it's been a very pleasant experience. Effortless installation, good documentation, and user friendlier than I expected.
