Today is [All Saints
Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day), so it seems
natural to let duckland.org start new again.
As is popular in Hollywood, I have decided to reboot this web site after
6 1/2 years. I have not decided about the old content.
I am planning on using this as a technical notebook. *Shrug* I hope to
make it worth while.

So, I use rxvt as my daily interface to my computers. I also use [mutt](https://www.mutt.org) for my email reading pleasure. Sometimes, I get URLs in email and I want to read them in a browser. If I was using a GUI based mail reader, I would just click the URL to open it. Well, there is an easy way to set up rxvt to do that!
Using the fine [Arch Linux wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org) entry for [rxvt unicode](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/rxvt-unicode#Clickable_URLs), the solution is quite easy. In the file **\~/.Xdefaults**, add:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher
URxvt.url-launcher: /usr/bin/firefox
URxvt.matcher.button: 1
And either do a **xrdb \--merge \~/.Xdefaults** or log out/log in. And start a new rxvt, and you are good to go.

I needed to write an iso image to a USB key, and the typical way is with
just dd(8), but I wanted a progress bar. A quick google later, and I
get:
pv -tpreb isoname | sudo dd of=/dev/sdd bs=1024
Which will write the iso image to the USB stick sdd, and give me a
progress bar, tell me how fast it is writing, and give me an eta when
finished. Perfect.

So, I am starting a new personal project at the house, and I need a new server. As I was wanting to learn more about the **BSD**, I started looking around at things like [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org), [NetBSD](https://www.netBSD.org), or [OpenBSD](https://www.openbsd.org).
Since there was a security part, I started with **OpenBSD**. One of the things I noticed quickly while doing my research is that while there is a lot of documentation, they do not really seem to care about making it easy for new folks to join the project, nor are the trying to support new-fangled hardware, like bootable USB drives. This strikes me odd, as FreeBSD has [instructions (see 2.3.5)](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html).
Since I want to use pf, I am going to stay with OpenBSD for now.
