This is my first time upgrading OpenBSD. Usually i do full reinstall but it just too time wasting, so i tried these step.
sysupgrade will update your OpenBSD by rebooting and download installation package from internet (i think). Then pkg_add -u will update all of installed program (take a long time). Its a successful upgrade. Thanks to OpenBSD developer who make it so seamless and work beautifully. Great work.

Emacs is an editor, but not just it. Thats what i read on internet. Emacs like in a battle with Vim, another editor. I have play with vi so many years ago, but with emacs it is just recently i learned to use it basic function.
Install it on ubuntu we can choose GUI or terminal version. I like the terminal version because it will be handy during my engagement with VM/Cloud which only can use terminal to manage it.
Open Emacs by typing on terminal emacs and press enter, it will show a welcome page like below.
We can move cursor to a hyperlink and press enter to go to particular subject, like tutorial or manual. Tutorial can also accessed using key combination C-h t, which mean press Ctrl and hold then press h, release keys, then press t. C is Ctrl and M is Meta (Alt/Esc).

Digest gem on ruby 2.6 is part of standard library. No need to do “gem install digest” anymore ! Here is proof on NetBSD 9.
To host sinatra ruby web application on NetBSD 9 we need to install apache http server, ruby, and passenger.
To install ruby 2.6, login as root and do pkgin install ruby. This will automatically install ruby version 2.6. After installed, install sinatra and your other gems using gem install sinatra.
Next is to install apache http server. On terminal execute pkgin install apache. Copy rc.d script from /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/apache to /etc/rc.d folder (this step just following after install message). Edit /etc/rc.conf and add a line containing apache=YES to enable auto start of apache on system start up.
Install passenger module to apache by executing pkgin install ap24-ruby26-passenger. After install edit /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf and add as follow.
LoadModule passenger_module lib/httpd/mod_passenger.so <IfModule mod_passenger.c> PassengerRoot /usr/pkg/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.6.0/phusion_passenger/locations.ini PassengerRuby /usr/pkg/bin/ruby26 </IfModule>
