I have a pretty significant backlog of links for this week – to the point I had to open a separate browser window to sort out open tabs.

TMUX Config Help on FreeBSD
FreeBSD Foundation Contributions, Fundraising, and More
Donating to the OpenBSD Foundation
The Insecurity of OpenBSD. The article is from 2010 so reading comments at the source link may be better.
BSD now 169: Scheduling your NetBSD, plus a comment. A followup to the second-most-recent BSDNow.
Apple Releases macOS 10.12 Sierra Open Source Darwin Code. I don’t cover enough of the BSD side of MacOS, but it’s hard to separate from the Mac part.

I use italics a lot this week.

Reddit advertising of “PAM Mastery”.
Related: Michael W. Lucas talks about open source and fiction. Best pull quote: “imagine if I wrote a piece of fiction claiming that OpenBSD was contemplating a switch to GPLv3?“
$ git commit murder is an excellent title, by the way.
Also also: PAM Mastery is out for purchase.
Debian considers merging /usr. For contrast to BSD. (via)
Pinky Bar. An ecumenical status bar, which I didn’t realize I needed until I saw it. I like that the author specifically notes BSD in describing what to use. (via)
FreeBSD on a MacBook Pro. (via)
EuroBSDCon 2016 slides – all of them. There’s a lot of material here.
In-kernel audio mixing ahead. (NetBSD)

Looking at the scheduler issue again. Part 2 from previous link.
TrueOS Launch message. Might be time to retire the PC-BSD tag.
Lynis – Security auditing tool for Linux, macOS, and UNIX-based systems. (via)
Exit from Hell? Reducing the Impact of Amplification DDoS Attacks. Also as a paper. I’d like to compare the number of systems found as amplifiers vs. systems in general. e.g. are BSD less likely to create reflectors? (via)

Devops with Chef on FreeBSD, an online course from BSD Magazine.

2016/11/112016/11/11

Full-offload scan and what it means

Imre Vadasz is working on full-offload scan support for wlan, imported from FreeBSD. That doesn’t change much from a user point of view, other that (I assume) reducing load and power usage a tiny amount. I’m reinforcing something most people don’t think about: there’s tiny computers inside your computer with their own firmware and processors, that you don’t directly control.

Adding a new “BUG” category, cause there’s enough ongoing BSD user group activity these days that it’s a reoccurring theme. That makes me happy.
