Just spreading love for sysupgrade(8). I had a private server running 7.2 dutyfully serving a PHP software for a local organisation for the past 4 years.

Our provider suffered an outage which brought the server down for a few hours. When it got back up, I decided to use this outage to upgrade it to 7.4.

Two sysupgrade and one pkg_add -u later, the server is up and running again, without further intervention needed.

I did it all from my phone, in a train with a a laggy connection.

Thanks OpenBSD for caring this much about your users ! 🐡♥️

@wgs Yeah is pretty impressive you literally can type one command each between two SSH sessions to upgrade.
