finally got around to learning about dbus. still can't send busctl commands but can with gdbus.
why? i still mess up the terms object, service, interface and whatever so I'll stick to whats working atm

that and that it wouldn't let me enter wrong value. wanted to send int but didn't know how until more staring

A new dbupdate(8) utility is being backported and released as a syspatch(8) update for #OpenBSD 7.9/8.0. This will make it easier for users to periodically update /etc/ssl/cert.pem and /usr/share/zoneinfo. :flan_thumbs:
It's also available as an errata patch: https://www.openbsd.org/errata80.html#p005_dbupdate

Looks like #OpenBSD cannot supply a new /etc/ssl/cert.pem through their existing syspatch(8) mechansim. The upcoming solution seems to be a new dbupdate(8) script, which fetches selected "databases" from a /dbupdates/ directories on the mirrors: https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/15cbf8b7c56f62e653ad919590ebb0d4f7272534
