It looks to be back now, so it was likely a temporary problem somewhere along the likely multi-hop way. That said, unless you are running a mirror, the general recommendation is to find a mirror reasonably close to you network-wise (which may rougly correspond to geographical positions) and stick to those. The sites listed at https://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html are synced often enough that you probably won't miss out on much for long. - Peter PS cross-posting to several OpenBSD mailing lists is generally frowned upon. -- Peter N.

R5S is probably most likely to fit the bill. armv7 is probably too slow to be of all that much interest. Be aware that OpenBSD is a bit less polished on arm platforms. Most are at least a bit more awkward than most amd64. > Fortunately, since there's only one speed connection, a set number of > devices doing a fixed number of things in each location, we will have no > problem advising you on the best choice for your application... > > oh, wait... :) > > Well, here's the HW compatibility for those platforms: > https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html > https://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html There's only partial detail of what works on the various boards, and some need fiddling with boot loaders/device trees.

Honestly, though, I'd suggest just recycling an old PC and a surplus network card (or multi-port card, depending on how people toss stuff out around you). If you want "the best choice", this is probably it. Nick.
Which hardware for a firewall?
Hi all, I'm going to create a firewall with openBSD, and would like to use the ARM64 or ARMv7 distribution for that. Unfortunately I don't know what hardware I can get for this, and that's the reason for this mail. Can someone point me to a suitable platform for this?

Re: Wrong SHA256 sums for latest snapshot
On 6/19/23 14:38, Benjamin Stürz wrote: Hi misc@, I have issues installing the latest snapshot from cdn.openbsd.org. Snapshots change frequently. They take time to distribute around the world. Content Delivery Networks pull from lots of different sources and cache various things at various times. Kinda easy to see how things like this not only happen, but are kinda expected. For snapshots, you might want to pick a favorite local mirror and use that. I doubt you will see a huge difference in performance for an install or upgrade. Nick.
