Subject: [talk] adb android debugging on *BSD
Message-ID: <8d170fc9-1090-321d-943c-87981ccbef51@ceetonetechnology.com>

Just a quick note, since I assume others have wondered about this...

adb, the debugging interface for Android devices does work, in my case
with OpenBSD.

There are three important components:

* enable developer mode on the Android device, which means going into
Settings, About, then clicking seven times on Build Number.

* once Developer options is enabled as Settings menu option, USB
debugging needs to be enabled

* USB configuration should be on MTP

The other thing to note is using the provided USB cable is important.
Just any old USB cable will likely not work.

This is dated, but points to some possible directions for your happy
hacking:

Less code/services on a device is always a good security practice :)

Couple of questions:

1) If adb works with OpenBSD, I'm going to guess that fastboot, which is
required on some Android phones in order to unlock their bootloaders or to
flash recovery replacements (e.g. TWRP) will also work on OpenBSD as well?

2) Are adb and fastboot available as binary packages for OpenBSD, or do
they have to be rolled from source?

This does have my interest piqued, though. Looking forward to playing with
both on a BSD finally.

Subject: [talk] Lowering net.inet.tcp.minmss
Message-ID: <CAMXt9Na6RuXWcQ-XxU2s1oObg+n-22SGtSnMUPfxwW2qh-tQQQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Talk
  We have all been hunkering down for a long time. Not too much talk here.
I have a good question ; can anyone take a guess or explain how in FreeBSD
the net.inet.tcp.minmss sysctl works . The question is this; if I get
a lot of 64byte
tcp payloads should I lower the net.inet.tcp.minmss from 216 to 64 ?
What does the kernel
do with segments that are under the net.inet.tcp.minmss value ?  Has
anyone poked at this before ?

Stay cool.
