Version 4.15 of the "anything to PostScript" filter a2ps has been released
— the first release since 2007.
"This release contains few user-visible changes. It does however
contain a lot of changes “under the hood”: code clean-up,
etc. Therefore, it’s likely that there are new bugs."

The
OpenBSD installer now has basic support for configuring disk encryption during the regular installation process. Previously, disk encryption needed to be set up manually by dropping to the shell
from the installer.
Initial support, likely to be expanded upon, was
committed
by Klemens Nanni (kn@) on
March 7, 2023.
The commit reads,
Subject: CVS: cvs.openbsd.org: src
From: Klemens Nanni <kn () cvs ! openbsd ! org>

Another piece from Florian Obser (florian@) just came out, titled
Dynamic host configuration, please.
In the article, Florian details the steps to modern OpenBSD
dynamic host configuration, including interface configuration, name resolution, routing and more.
We also get an explanation of the various userland programs (most of them portable, some OpenBSD-specific) that make a modern OpenBSD laptop shine.
You can read the full piece here, Dynamic host configuration, please.

Many wireless sensors broadcast their data using
Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE). Their data is easy to receive, but decoding it can be a
challenge. Each manufacturer uses its own format, often tied to its own
mobile apps. Integrating all of these sensors into a home-automation system
requires a lot of custom decoders, which are generally developed by
reverse-engineering
the protocols. The goal of the
BTHome
project is to change this: it offers a standardized format for sensors to
broadcast their measurements using BLE. BTHome is supported by the
Home
Assistant
home-automation software and by a few open-firmware and open-hardware
projects.

The Flathub organization (in the form of Robert McQueen) has posted
a lengthy
update on the state of Flathub and its plans for the coming year.
So far, the GNOME Foundation has acted as an incubator and legal
host for Flathub even though it’s not purely a GNOME product or
initiative. Distributing software to end users along with
processing and forwarding payments and donations also has a
different legal profile in terms of risk exposure and nonprofit
compliance than the current activities of the GNOME
Foundation. Consequently, we plan to establish an independent legal
entity to own and operate Flathub which reduces risk for the GNOME
Foundation, better reflects the independent and cross-desktop
interests of Flathub, and provides flexibility in the future should
we need to change the structure.
