Computing to support life on Earth
Computing in the age of climate crisis is often wasteful and adds nothing useful to our real life communities. Here we try to find out how to change that.

A seemingly simple file monitoring problem exposed deep limitations in FreeBSD’s traditional EVFILT_VNODE approach. This article explores how race conditions, scalability issues, and Linux compatibility challenges ultimately led to the development of a native inotify implementation for FreeBSD 15. …

tl;dr I used wg(4), pf(4), and relayd(8), all OpenBSD native tools, to encrypt all inbound connections from a gateway VPS to my local home server. This also hides my local IP information and I managed it all without much hassle and pain.
I recently stood up a VPS running OpenBSD 7.9 on Vultr. The VPS is hosted in Chicago, Illinois, USA. I then took OpenBSD's native WireGuard driver, wg(4), to establish an encrypted tunnel to my local home lab server. Using relayd(8), OpenBSD's native reverse proxy, I can now forward virtual host connections to my home lab server, which has httpd(8) as a web server frontend. I used pf.conf(5) to configure OpenBSD's native fireweall, pf(4), which was incredibly easy.
The result is a secure gateway that routes all traffic via WireGuard to my local server, obfuscating its location and other IP information. This was done by simply configuring handful of system daemons. I've done some OpenBSD network configuration before, but this was the most work I've done. The best part, it wasn't that difficult, and all manual pages provided sufficient details to work with them.
Once I get my site set up I'll write up the experience and step-by-step instructions and share the page here.
New OpenBSD milestone unlocked; no intent to stop anytime soon
Happy hacking, hackers!
Better laptop sleep and Wi-Fi support make the beastie more portable-friendly, but getting beyond the shell remains a DIY job
Tested with a Core i5-based ThinkPad X220.
Surprisingly:
… The handy optional desktop-installer script is still available, but as far as we can tell, it hasn't been updated for version 15.1 yet. In our testing, it couldn't correctly install a working desktop, and whatever desktop we tried, it failed without giving any visible error. …
Worked around, through manual installation of software, but I'm surprised that it happened.

⇒ Linux 7.3 To Introduce DRM "Color Format" Property With AMD GPU Driver Support
While the Linux 7.2 kernel merge window is only ending later today to cap off the feature work on this next version of the Linux kernel, already for the Linux 7.3 kernel cycle later in the year there is one notable feature on the way: the DRM color format property is being introduced and being first supported by the AMDGPU kernel graphics driver.
⇒ Code That Built the Internet: The Impact of BSD, Part 1
Like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expected the internet. Its earliest appearance (as ARPANET) took place in the same year—1969—as the comedy troupe behind the Spanish Inquisition quip, Monty Python. But during its first decade, the internet was treated as a convenience for file-sharing and a couple other applications; few observers anticipated how it would alter modern life until decades later. The major institution that brought computers into the internet age was the University of California at Berkeley, which created a version of Unix that they called the Berkeley Software Distribution and is now known as BSD.

The paper presents a longitudinal measurement study on the adoption of the pledge and unveil system calls in OpenBSD. These system calls are used to sandbox programs and libraries. Given a dataset covering 19 releases, many programs and libraries were modified to use the system calls already before their introductions in official releases.

Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Chainguard, Cisco, Citi, Endor Labs, Ericsson, Google, IBM, JPMorganChase, Microsoft and GitHub, NVIDIA, OpenAI, RapidFort, Red Hat, Rust Foundation, Sonatype, Vodafone and Zscaler join coordinated effort to find, fix and responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in open source software the world runs on
- The Linux Foundation, joined by leading organizations, today announced Akrites, a coordinated effort to remediate and disclose vulnerabilities in critical open source software.
- Akrites establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) and a single, standardized Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) process, built on confidentiality-first principles and industry-standard tooling.
- Founding members commit engineering talent, security expertise and funding to harden the shared open source software that banks, hospitals, power grids, telecoms, governments, and AI labs depend on.
- Organizations that contribute engineering resources or funding to the security of critical open source are invited to participate and can learn more at https://akrites.org.
Hi! So I have a small VPS with OpenBSD on it and I anticipate that disk space will not be enough, so my question is, if I know that I will never compile the whole system from source, can I just repurpose the space allocated to /usr/obj and /usr/src and mount those partitions where they're needed? Or is this a really really bad idea? It would free up about 10GB (out of 40GB total).
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Sched-Ext-Restructured
Quoting Torvalds:
create mode 100644 kernel/sched/ext_arena.c create mode 100644 kernel/sched/ext_arena.h create mode 100644 kernel/sched/ext_cid.c create mode 100644 kernel/sched/ext_cid.h create mode 100644 kernel/sched/ext_types.hPlease don't do this disgusting thing.
There's a reason we have subdirectories: it's to group files together and separate them out
Using name prefixing instead of directories is disgusting and wrong. If you have this many random sched-ext files, it damn well should be cleaned up and not be this kind of mess.
I've pulled this, but under protest. Proper hierarchical filesystems have been available since 1965.
It's blunt, but it did begin with the word "Please".
His use of the word "disgusting" is, ahem, slightly at odds with this recent observation:
… Já o Linus sempre foi mais polido, político e mais comercial.
Translated by Reddit:
… Linus, on the other hand, was always more polished, political, and more business-minded.

I toyed with qutebrowser only because https://www.freshports.org/lang/python311/ is currently quirky in one of my very heavily-extended Firefox profiles (not reproducible in a different profile, not reproducible in Tor Browser):
The effect is not long-lasting, normal appearance resumes after a few seconds.

… critical services used by the human #FreeBSD community are either down, or so degraded they are mostly unusable, by AI scrapers. …
Does anyone know which services are, or were, down?
Today felt pretty decent, or at least comparatively, and maybe only for ~22% of the hours of consciousness...
~0530 -> 22:42 ... just need to save this one file to the NFS share... and...
Seems today is a "No NFS for assholes" day, very astute.
So no NFS for me; still an asshole, sure sure (only sometimes), but no NFS? So unfair. LDAP/FreeIPA why are you the way that you are? 
Maybe if I threaten the LDAP VM with its existential annihilation, and replace it with a RADIUS + TACACS + NIS (the OG right there, nothing better than a Trainwreck deep into the warm, loving arms, the secure embrace, the Inner Self unleashed - unbounded - staring directly into the eyes of `Network Information Service +` ... NIS+ YES!
I read that NIS+ was removed from Solaris 11.x (hopefully this is incorrect), in which case... what are your thoughts on the subject? There's no Windows, no SMB, it's just Solaris, Tribblix, OmniOS, Gentoo, {Rocky 9/10, OEL 9/10}, and of course... FreeBSD, also one or two little nodes w/ NetBSD and a Xen box too... lots of boxes.
So.. NIC+ on Tribblix getting some traction if I decide to reprovision this new workstation w/ the latest instead of Sol 11.4... the video card situation is either a P2200 or A4000, and while those work on Solaris I've not been able to find the right combination of drivers to get these two working with Tribblix. Are those going to work or maybe a RTX 2080?
