Thanks for a potentially useful set of suggestions!

The index.html that's out there now has that change in it. However, likely
due to some local silliness with fonts here I get missing italics (starting p 7)
and missing monospace in 'shell' environments or config listings starting a 
few pages later.

If you get better output, I'd be much indebted if you send me your pdf output 
so I can put it in place while I sort of the fonts issue.

You can give wkhtmltopdf (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/) a shot; it's in packages.

A quick test I ran:

$ wkhtmltopdf "https://home.nuug.no/~peter/openbsd_and_you/; output.pdf

produces nice results, but omits the titles. I guess adding ", sans-serif" in
the "font-family" lines in your css should fix that, eg:

- body { font-family: 'Droid Serif'; }
+ body { font-family: 'Droid Serif', sans-serif; }

That was the first option that came to mind, and the one I may go for as 
a supplemental format *if* I can find a way to generate PDFs from this 
source format *and* get the page breaks right. The print preview is
available browsers does not leave much hope of that actually happening,
however.

The primary purpose here is, and will remain, to have the presentation look
nice on any screen that's conveniently available while I do the presentation. 

If I can find a reasonably automatic way to render this without javascript
that's a nice bonus, and I'll keep looking to the extent that it does not
seriously disrupt other things I need to get done.

The in-browser print preview method is simply not a practical option. 
And reverting to the previous powerpoint clone rubbish is right out. If I do
find a workable option, I'll let you all know.

I think workaround is using pdf format. It's supported now by all
modern browsers. It's open crossplatform standard, simple to storing
and can be opened not only in browsers (obviously).

Thank you for caring!

Re: OpenBSD and you

[Peter N. M. Hansteen]

And I was just reminded off-list that the remark markdown variant
(https://github.com/gnab/remark) used for this presentation requires
javascript enabled in your browser.

Sorry about that.

I'll be looking into workarounds, hopefully some can be found.

Re: OpenBSD and you

[Peter N. M. Hansteen]

I finally got around to updating this advocacy presentation with some
6.1 and post-6.1 points, and moving to a slightly more convenient (to
me) format which allows such things as links, including man.openbsd.org
links where relevant.

So here it is, for your advocacy needs -

https://home.nuug.no/~peter/openbsd_and_you/

Updates may happen occasionally.

That is my exact setup. Works really really well. Thank you OpenBSD

Re: OpenBSD and you

[Jan Betlach]

I am (almost) total newbie in respect with networks. Currently in process
of building my own firewall/gateway for home network (based on APU 2C4),
I've decided to take the right (and difficult, at least for me) way of
doing so by using OpenBSD's pf.
Peter's excellent book is my main help and knowledge source and I am
grateful it has been written :-)

It's nice to hear you like it!

The meeting where I presented this was a lot less well attended than I
had hoped but the web server logs seem to indicate that it has some use
as advocacy on the web.

(The odd format is kind of an accident - this is a descendant of a
company-internal presentation I did for a group of colleagues and in
$dayjob land it's the branded pptx templates or no go. Trying to convert
to something marginally saner only served to re-ignite the passion with
which I hate 'office'-style presentation apps.)

OpenBSD and you

[R0me0 ***]

Hello everybody,

As I did see any mention around here, I was boosted to post this great
presentation by Peter N . M. Hansteen.


https://home.nuug.no/~peter/blug2016/

Individually my sincerely grateful for each developer of OpenBSD the true
reliable and high secure operating system.

Regards,

Re: OT: 5 years of OpenBSD ... Thank you ;)

At least once I even made the experience that I could get hardware to

where the prejudice *BSD supports less hardware than Linux was even
more prevalent than now. (It was an isapnp network card, isapnp under
Linux sucked, while OpenBSD had a *working* [as far as isapnp could
work given its design] isapnp implementation.)

OT: 5 years of OpenBSD ... Thank you ;)

[Andreas Maus]

O.K. This is totally off-topic.
But I wish to say Thank you. ;)

In the end of 2002 I used Linux and ipchains (now iptables) and I was
really pissed off by making a syntax error and I shot myself right in
the foot. So someone tells me about about this pf thingy. (*)

After installing OpenBSD 3.2 on my front router I was VERY pleased ;)

So I installed OpenBSD on every host in my DMZ (and since 2005 on
every Desktop system).

To make this post as short as possible ... I NEVER regret this
decission. O.K. PenguinOS has been installed on some hosts but as years passing 
by
I was frustrated that it includes new drivers but the drivers
was never tested (even on i386 !!1!elf!!). E.g. the -binary only-
bcm43xx firmware using 2.6.19 (or so) locked up the system after
a few frames. Well it compiled o.k but does anyone tested it on
a real system ?!?

So I really stick with OpenBSD. It doesn't cover the ultra-up-to-date 
hardware but the at least it was tested on a real systems! And if it
doesn't work I file a bug report. And I don't have any problems using
a daily CVS snapshot and recompile it. Usually it works more stable
than the so called stable kernel.

O.K. I stop the rant ... ;)

So ... I love OpenBSD. And THANK YOU FOR 5 YEARS OF PROTECTING MY
NETWORK ;) Keep on running!

A.

(*) To be exactly I installed my first OpenBSD system on 
26-Dec-2002

P.S.: Since 3.4 I bought every CD set. Even the one I doesn't need
anymore (like my 4.1 set bought on 27-Oct ;) )
