Subject: [talk] Wednesday meeting
Message-ID: <5405C77D.2060608@ceetonetechnology.com>

We had a last minute cancellation for the Wednesday meeting... but we're
working on putting something together.

The question for this list is:

I know after the last meeting on OpenBSD ports, there are some people
ready with ports to commit... sitting in the pipeline right now.

If you are one of them, please ping admin@  Note the domain is lists.

Part of the Wednesday meeting will be an update from whoever is starting
to maintain a port.

Well, it would only be feeding the spam bots then...  They scan the
internet (and these archives) for email addresses to spam.

It's not a bullet-proof solution, but it does mitigate the problem a little.

Anyone every tried this thing out , other the say in the android dev kit ?

Here is an example for ARM64 on Linux

this is great - i'd love to see arm running in qemu.  do you know how 
they are going to port it, i guess they will need to create a 
armv6-bsd-user target or something?

interestingly enough the latest qemu release builds this target with out 
issues :)

./configure --target-list=sparc64-bsd-user

Modern spam bots are far more sophisticated than the kind you are talking about.

Not a bit.  It only annoys users to not have a complete link.

Yes... I remember when reverse lookups on incoming mail dealt with all
spam.  I know it's a bit more sophisticated.

if it means 10% less spam to that account, users can toughen it out.

means nothing for spam really.  what it really means is that someone has to
write the mails in html as opposed to text - i suspect that's the real issue
with how the announce messages are typed/sent.

Hi,

I am on a look out for new laptops preferable running FreeBSD or OpenBSD.
I am looking for the cheapest 100$ to 500$. Preferably 100$ - 250$.
I was quite impressed with the below video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZlVO8SFcns

I wanted to know whether there are resellers of Rasberry PI Portables.

That was my quest for years.

I have to say the first and only laptop where it didn't just hibernate
but actually resumed was OpenBSD on a thinkpad x120e.  It's awesome.
Battery life is great.  I think it's the ideal laptop in many ways.

I run snapshots, and there was a period in which resume didn't work, but
that's what happens when you run snapshots.  You deal or you don't run
snapshots.

ACPI and APM never worked on any laptop for me with FreeBSD, although I
still run in on other Thinkpads.  When I say *never*, I mean a bunch of
laptops for a long, long while.  Utterly frustrating.

There's loads of these projects out there.

there's lots.  adafruit or if  you're in NYC, microcenter in Brooklyn
and Yonkers.

The BeagleBones are better boards overall, though.

"bunny" presented at Defcon? on a home-grown arm-top, about 
microcontrollers embedded in sd cards.

His home-build was then written about in Make magazine 
http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=2686

looked pretty cool!  sounds easy/a lot of work ;)

Suspsend-resume/hibernate-unhibernate using OpenBSD is also flawless on
the T60p. Battery life is not great, but they are versatile and great
deal if you want a 14 or 15" screen (1400x1050).

If you're looking for something Pi-based, any cost savings will be
offset by the hardware hacking it will probably require.  I am curious
about the Intel Edison parts that SparkFun has now, speaking of that
stuff...

As other people have said, the Thinkpad machines are generally study
and work well.  I have an an ancient IBM R600 that I can't bear to
throw away, even though I have nowhere to use it.  It still runs
great, considering.

The Lenovo Outlet is selling a X131e refurb laptop for under $300 just
now when I looked; I imagine ebay/craigslist might also have cheap
models.  I don't know if that particular model works as well as the
other ones people report here.

Subject: [talk] some pfSense, APU notes
Message-ID: <541CF6C7.4030303@ceetonetechnology.com>

Posting here someone on talk@ or via a search engine, might find it useful.

The APU is PCEngines most recent board, replacing those well-loved Alix
boards.  They are 64-bit, and have either 2G or 4G of RAM.  mSATA SDD,
SD Card storage.

http://pcengines.ch/apu.htm

Since the APUs run hot, mounting the heat sink pad is critical.  Rumor
has it there's a few degree cooler on the mobo if you use the black case
as opposed to the other ones.

When flashing to the newest and latest BIOS, USB sticks were
unsuccessful.  I used an SD card with syslinux from gooze.eu, and
replaced the ROM file as per the most recent at the particular APU
product description page.

The PCEngines support forum (http://www.pcengines.info/) can seem more
like an ugly bar fight, but hold your nose and peruse and you may find
something useful.

For pfSense on the APU with SD cards, I'm using the amd64-nanobsd version.

Over serial, pfSense needs cu/tip/minicom speed at 9600, while the APU
is set for 115200.  Setting the speed to 9600 means the BIOS information
is missed.  Setting the speed to 115200 means pfSense seems to hang at
the "choose a slice" stage, when it actually isn't.  On pfSense, console
speed can be tinkered under the System tab, then Advanced, and scroll
down to "Serial Communications."

The usual "mount root" error can be resolved by manually mounting the
two slices on the SD card, and adding the following to
/boot/loader.conf.local (preferable over /boot/loader.conf)

kern.cam.boot_delay=10000

I recommend making sure both slices boot.  This can be done manually
during the boot process, but can also be done through the "Diagnostics"
tab, then "NanoBSD" in the first "Bootup Information" section.

I'm guessing that recent pfSense upgrade problems I've been having on a
variety of devices with flash media storage has to do with this.

One (seemingly) stupid consideration for all devices requiring logins:
change the default login name.  Always.  Brute forcing passwords is more
difficult when the adversary is using the default login.

HTH.

Should you be unlucky enough to knock your heatsink off/ need a new one,
here is the Netgate link for a replacement one. May you never need to
use this link:

If you're placing an order, add this to your order an extra heatsink:

Subject: [talk] pfSense 2.1.5 and PCI-e wireless cards
Message-ID: <5425592A.6080406@ceetonetechnology.com>

Apparently pfSense doesn't support the wle200nx's Atheros AR9280 from
pcEngines, but with 2.2 there should be support for it since it's based
on FreeBSD 10.x.  Thus speaks redmine.pfsense.org.  May work with
802.11b networks only.

Are there any PCI-e wireless cards anyone is using on an APU that are
compatible with 2.1.5?  I see the compatible chipset list, but am
wondering about specific cards.  And FYI, there are no USB wireless
chipsets supported by 2.1.5 AFAIK.

TIA

Subject: [talk] OpenBSD 5.6 group buy?
Message-ID: <542AE0C2.4050407@devio.us>

Hi folks --

So OpenBSD 5.6 preorders are now up!
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=141209477503670&w=2

Unlike previous releases (and as mentioned previously) Austin is no 
longer handling the merchandise. Now a new openbsdstore.com (run by the 
OpenBSD Europe people in the UK) is doing it. This will mean higher 
shipping prices for us Americans (just did a shipping quote from them... 
over $10 just for one CD).

Do we want to go in on a group buy for stuff? I can coordinate from up 
here in Troy or someone can take up the banner in NYC. I'm also throwing 
this out there for the Americans in devio.us

~Brian

Good idea Brian.  We should do this regularly.

We should figure out how to coordinate though... could be a bit
difficult with two different locations.

Maybe one designated person per city/UG?

So I've somewhat taken up the mantle for nationwide at the moment.
If there's enough NYC interest in and of itself, I'm sure it would be 
fine to do a breakoff order for NYC.

My thinking was get everything to Troy, then ship by small USPS flat 
rate box to people outside of Troy. Capital District people are welcome 
to get it from me directly (at a CDBUG meeting? :D See how I did that? :) )

How does that affect the monies to OpenBSD themselves? I always try to 
order a CD and a shirt or something and try to kick in a little extra 
each time. If I have to order from Europe now, that might suck up my 
extra $$ as shipping. Kinda annoying.

Might not have same satisfaction of getting latest release cd's, artwork and song - but might be a good way to make your USD stretch?
