       | I'm really confused by this webzine.
       | 
       | It's a single page aggregation of undeadly.org or ..what?
       | 
       | How is that a webzine?

         | author cares about. What's confusing? There can be more than
         | one website about OpenBSD.

           | as someone else reported, the confusing fact is that it's
           | advertised as a webzine yet it does not come in the shape of
           | a webzine.

       | On the one-hand you've got some direct kernel/release changes
       | that go way over my head as a Linux user (what the hell is the
       | uvm-handler?). Then a few lines down, you've got some pretty
       | rudimentary Shell tips that I would expect anyone with a terminal
       | to have learned within their first few months of use.
       | 
       | I like the concept, though. Site looks great on mobile, looks
       | like you've got an RSS feed. This would definitely be the kind of
       | thing I would add to my Pocket and read with my morning coffee,
       | if I were a BSD user.

       | is, no disrespect intended, more or less completely useless.

         | when I have time.
         | 
         | So I do not need to keep track of multiple sources for OpenBSD.
         | Just this and the OpenBSD Journal

       | That's so cool! I love undeadly but it's great to also have this
       | website, with interesting content I wouldn't normally come
       | across. I'd have no idea that OpenBSD was installable on
       | Gandicloud, for example. Or how to play Bach's prelude in C minor
       | on OpenBSD using the MIDI speakers (issue #2). Thanks and keep up
       | the great work!
