Last time Google made the best Chromebook ever, it was the Chromebook Pixel . The boxy, beautiful $1,000 laptop wasn't designed to go everywhere with you so much as to be so outrageously impressive that it might prompt someone to ask, "Wait, that's a Chromebook?" Google made it to prove a point, not take over the market. This time, Google went a different way.

On this week's episode, Google makes a (few) appearances prior to its October 4th event. Also, Chris has a new addition to announce!  This week's Five Favorites:  1.

We recap vBSDcon, give you the story behind a PF EN, reminisce in Solaris memories, and show you how to configure different DEs on FreeBSD. This episode was brought to you by Headlines [vBSDCon] vBSDCon was held September 7 - 9th. We recorded this only a few days after getting home from this great event. Things started on Wednesday night, as attendees of the thursday developer summit arrived and broke into smallish groups for disorganized dinner and drinks. We then held an unofficial hacker lounge in a medium sized seating area, working and talking until we all decided that the developer summit started awfully early tomorrow. The developer summit started with a light breakfast and then then we dove right in Ed Maste started us off, and then Glen Barber gave a presentation about lessons learned from the 11.1-RELEASE cycle, and comparing it to previous releases. 11.1 was released on time, and was one of the best releases so far. The slides are linked on the DevSummit wiki page (https://wiki.freebsd.org/DevSummit/20170907). The group then jumped into hackmd.io a collaborative note taking application, and listed of various works in progress and upstreaming efforts. Then we listed wants and needs for the 12.0 release. After lunch we broke into pairs of working groups, with additional space for smaller meetings. The first pair were, ZFS and Toolchain, followed by a break and then a discussion of IFLIB and network drivers in general. After another break, the last groups of the day met, pkgbase and secure boot. Then it was time for the vBSDCon reception dinner. This standing dinner was a great way to meet new people, and for attendees to mingle and socialize. The official hacking lounge Thursday night was busy, and included some great storytelling, along with a bunch of work getting done. It was very encouraging to watch a struggling new developer getting help from a seasoned veteran. Watching the new developers eyes light up as the new information filled in gaps and they now understood so much more than just a few minutes before, and they raced off to continue working, was inspirational, and reminded me why these conferences are so important. The hacker lounge shut down relatively early by BSD conference standards, but, the conference proper started at 8:45 sharp the next morning, so it made sense. Friday saw a string of good presentations, I think my favourite was Jonathan Anderson's talk on Oblivious sandboxing. Jonathan is a very energetic speaker, and was able to keep everyone focused even during relatively complicated explanations. Friday night I went for dinner at ‘Big Bowl', a stir-fry bar, with a largish group of developers and users of both FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The discussions were interesting and varied, and the food was excellent. Benedict had dinner with JT and some other folks from iXsystems. Friday night the hacker lounge was so large we took over a bigger room (it had better WiFi too). Saturday featured more great talks. The talk I was most interested in was from Eric McCorkle, who did the EFI version of my GELIBoot work. I had reviewed some of the work, but it was interesting to hear the story of how it happened, and to see the parallels with my own story. My favourite speaker was Paul Vixie, who gave a very interesting talk about the gets() function in libc. gets() was declared unsafe before the FreeBSD project even started. The original import of the CSRG code into FreeBSD includes the compile time, and run-time warnings against using gets(). OpenBSD removed gets() in version 5.6, in 2014. Following Paul's presentation, various patches were raised, to either cause use of gets() to crash the program, or to remove gets() entirely, causing such programs to fail to link. The last talk before the closing was Benedict's BSD Systems Management with Ansible (https://people.freebsd.org/~bcr/talks/vBSDcon2017_Ansible.pdf). Shortly after, Allan won a MacBook Pro by correctly guessing the number of components in a jar that was standing next to the registration desk (Benedict was way off, but had a good laugh about the unlikely future Apple user). Saturday night ended with the Conference Social, and excellent dinner with more great conversations On Sunday morning, a number of us went to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum site near the airport, and saw a Concorde, an SR-71, and the space shuttle Discovery, among many other exhibits. Check out the full photo album by JT (https://t.co/KRmSNzUSus), our producer. Thanks to all the sponsors for vBSDcon and all the organizers from Verisign, who made it such a great event. *** The story behind FreeBSD-EN-17.08.pf (https://www.sigsegv.be//blog/freebsd/FreeBSD-EN-17.08.pf) After our previous deep dive on a bug in episode 209, Kristof Provost, the maintainer of pf on FreeBSD (he is going to hate me for saying that) has written the story behind a recent ERRATA notice for FreeBSD First things first, so I have to point out that I think Allan misremembered things. The heroic debugging story is PR 219251, which I'll try to write about later. FreeBSD-EN-17:08.pf is an issue that affected some FreeBSD 11.x systems, where FreeBSD would panic at startup. There were no reports for CURRENT. There's very little to go on here, but we do know the cause of the panic ("integer divide fault"), and that the current process was "pf purge". The pf purge thread is part of the pf housekeeping infrastructure. It's a housekeeping kernel thread which cleans up things like old states and expired fragments. The lack of mention of pf functions in the backtrace is a hint unto itself. It suggests that the error is probably directly in pfpurgethread(). It might also be in one of the static functions it calls, because compilers often just inline those so they don't generate stack frames. Remember that the problem is an "integer divide fault". How can integer divisions be a problem? Well, you can try to divide by zero. The most obvious suspect for this is this code: idx = pfpurgeexpiredstates(idx, pfhashmask / (Vpfdefaultrule.timeout[PFTMINTERVAL] * 10)); However, this variable is both correctly initialised (in pfattachvnet()) and can only be modified through the DIOCSETTIMEOUT ioctl() call and that one checks for zero. At that point I had no idea how this could happen, but because the problem did not affect CURRENT I looked at the commit history and found this commit from Luiz Otavio O Souza: Do not run the pf purge thread while the VNET variables are not initialized, this can cause a divide by zero (if the VNET initialization takes to long to complete). Obtained from: pfSense Sponsored by: Rubicon Communications, LLC (Netgate) That sounds very familiar, and indeed, applying the patch fixed the problem. Luiz explained it well: it's possible to use Vpfdefaultrule.timeout before it's initialised, which caused this panic. To me, this reaffirms the importance of writing good commit messages: because Luiz mentioned both the pf purge thread and the division by zero I was easily able to find the relevant commit. If I hadn't found it this fix would have taken a lot longer. Next week we'll look at the more interesting story I was interested in, which I managed to nag Kristof into writing *** The sudden death and eternal life of Solaris (http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2017/09/04/the-sudden-death-and-eternal-life-of-solaris/) A blog post from Bryan Cantrill about the death of Solaris As had been rumored for a while, Oracle effectively killed Solaris. When I first saw this, I had assumed that this was merely a deep cut, but in talking to Solaris engineers still at Oracle, it is clearly much more than that. It is a cut so deep as to be fatal: the core Solaris engineering organization lost on the order of 90% of its people, including essentially all management. Of note, among the engineers I have spoken with, I heard two things repeatedly: “this is the end” and (from those who managed to survive Friday) “I wish I had been laid off.” Gone is any of the optimism (however tepid) that I have heard over the years — and embarrassed apologies for Oracle's behavior have been replaced with dismay about the clumsiness, ineptitude and callousness with which this final cut was handled. In particular, that employees who had given their careers to the company were told of their termination via a pre-recorded call — “robo-RIF'd” in the words of one employee — is both despicable and cowardly. To their credit, the engineers affected saw themselves as Sun to the end: they stayed to solve hard, interesting problems and out of allegiance to one another — not out of any loyalty to the broader Oracle. Oracle didn't deserve them and now it doesn't have them — they have been liberated, if in a depraved act of corporate violence. Assuming that this is indeed the end of Solaris (and it certainly looks that way), it offers a time for reflection. Certainly, the demise of Solaris is at one level not surprising, but on the other hand, its very suddenness highlights the degree to which proprietary software can suffer by the vicissitudes of corporate capriciousness. Vulnerable to executive whims, shareholder demands, and a fickle public, organizations can simply change direction by fiat. And because — in the words of the late, great Roger Faulkner — “it is easier to destroy than to create,” these changes in direction can have lasting effect when they mean stopping (or even suspending!) work on a project. Indeed, any engineer in any domain with sufficient longevity will have one (or many!) stories of exciting projects being cancelled by foolhardy and myopic management. For software, though, these cancellations can be particularly gutting because (in the proprietary world, anyway) so many of the details of software are carefully hidden from the users of the product — and much of the innovation of a cancelled software project will likely die with the project, living only in the oral tradition of the engineers who knew it. Worse, in the long run — to paraphrase Keynes — proprietary software projects are all dead. However ubiquitous at their height, this lonely fate awaits all proprietary software. There is, of course, another way — and befitting its idiosyncratic life and death, Solaris shows us this path too: software can be open source. In stark contrast to proprietary software, open source does not — cannot, even — die. Yes, it can be disused or rusty or fusty, but as long as anyone is interested in it at all, it lives and breathes. Even should the interest wane to nothing, open source software survives still: its life as machine may be suspended, but it becomes as literature, waiting to be discovered by a future generation. That is, while proprietary software can die in an instant, open source software perpetually endures by its nature — and thrives by the strength of its communities. Just as the existence of proprietary software can be surprisingly brittle, open source communities can be crazily robust: they can survive neglect, derision, dissent — even sabotage. In this regard, I speak from experience: from when Solaris was open sourced in 2005, the OpenSolaris community survived all of these things. By the time Oracle bought Sun five years later in 2010, the community had decided that it needed true independence — illumos was born. And, it turns out, illumos was born at exactly the right moment: shortly after illumos was announced, Oracle — in what remains to me a singularly loathsome and cowardly act — silently re-proprietarized Solaris on August 13, 2010. We in illumos were indisputably on our own, and while many outsiders gave us no chance of survival, we ourselves had reason for confidence: after all, open source communities are robust because they are often united not only by circumstance, but by values, and in our case, we as a community never lost our belief in ZFS, Zones, DTrace and myriad other technologies like MDB, FMA and Crossbow. Indeed, since 2010, illumos has thrived; illumos is not only the repository of record for technologies that have become cross-platform like OpenZFS, but we have also advanced our core technologies considerably, while still maintaining highest standards of quality. Learning some of the mistakes of OpenSolaris, we have a model that allows for downstream innovation, experimentation and differentiation. For example, Joyent's SmartOS has always been focused on our need for a cloud hypervisor (causing us to develop big features like hardware virtualization and Linux binary compatibility), and it is now at the heart of a massive buildout for Samsung (who acquired Joyent a little over a year ago). For us at Joyent, the Solaris/illumos/SmartOS saga has been formative in that we have seen both the ill effects of proprietary software and the amazing resilience of open source software — and it very much informed our decision to open source our entire stack in 2014. Judging merely by its tombstone, the life of Solaris can be viewed as tragic: born out of wedlock between Sun and AT&T and dying at the hands of a remorseless corporate sociopath a quarter century later. And even that may be overstating its longevity: Solaris may not have been truly born until it was made open source, and — certainly to me, anyway — it died the moment it was again made proprietary. But in that shorter life, Solaris achieved the singular: immortality for its revolutionary technologies. So while we can mourn the loss of the proprietary embodiment of Solaris (and we can certainly lament the coarse way in which its technologists were treated!), we can rejoice in the eternal life of its technologies — in illumos and beyond! News Roundup OpenBSD on the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (5th Gen) (https://jcs.org/2017/09/01/thinkpad_x1c) Joshua Stein writes about his experiences running OpenBSD on the 5th generation Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon: ThinkPads have sort of a cult following among OpenBSD developers and users because the hardware is basic and well supported, and the keyboards are great to type on. While no stranger to ThinkPads myself, most of my OpenBSD laptops in recent years have been from various vendors with brand new hardware components that OpenBSD does not yet support. As satisfying as it is to write new kernel drivers or extend existing ones to make that hardware work, it usually leaves me with a laptop that doesn't work very well for a period of months. After exhausting efforts trying to debug the I2C touchpad interrupts on the Huawei MateBook X (and other 100-Series Intel chipset laptops), I decided to take a break and use something with better OpenBSD support out of the box: the fifth generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon. Hardware Like most ThinkPads, the X1 Carbon is available in a myriad of different internal configurations. I went with the non-vPro Core i7-7500U (it was the same price as the Core i5 that I normally opt for), 16Gb of RAM, a 256Gb NVMe SSD, and a WQHD display. This generation of X1 Carbon finally brings a thinner screen bezel, allowing the entire footprint of the laptop to be smaller which is welcome on something with a 14" screen. The X1 now measures 12.7" wide, 8.5" deep, and 0.6" thick, and weighs just 2.6 pounds. While not available at initial launch, Lenovo is now offering a WQHD IPS screen option giving a resolution of 2560x1440. Perhaps more importantly, this display also has much better brightness than the FHD version, something ThinkPads have always struggled with. On the left side of the laptop are two USB-C ports, a USB-A port, a full-size HDMI port, and a port for the ethernet dongle which, despite some reviews stating otherwise, is not included with the laptop. On the right side is another USB-A port and a headphone jack, along with a fan exhaust grille. On the back is a tray for the micro-SIM card for the optional WWAN device, which also covers the Realtek microSD card reader. The tray requires a paperclip to eject which makes it inconvenient to remove, so I think this microSD card slot is designed to house a card semi-permanently as a backup disk or something. On the bottom are the two speakers towards the front and an exhaust grille near the center. The four rubber feet are rather plastic feeling, which allows the laptop to slide around on a desk a bit too much for my liking. I wish they were a bit softer to be stickier. Charging can be done via either of the two USB-C ports on the left, though I wish more vendors would do as Google did on the Chromebook Pixel and provide a port on both sides. This makes it much more convenient to charge when not at one's desk, rather than having to route a cable around to one specific side. The X1 Carbon includes a 65W USB-C PD with a fixed USB-C cable and removable country-specific power cable, which is not very convenient due to its large footprint. I am using an Apple 61W USB-C charger and an Anker cable which charge the X1 fine (unlike HP laptops which only work with HP USB-C chargers). Wireless connectivity is provided by a removable Intel 8265 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1 card. An Intel I219-V chip provides ethernet connectivity and requires an external dongle for the physical cable connection. The screen hinge is rather tight, making it difficult to open with one hand. The tradeoff is that the screen does not wobble in the least bit when typing. The fan is silent at idle, and there is no coil whine even under heavy load. During a make -j4 build, the fan noise is reasonable and medium-pitched, rather than a high-pitched whine like on some laptops. The palm rest and keyboard area remain cool during high CPU utilization. The full-sized keyboard is backlit and offers two levels of adjustment. The keys have a soft surface and a somewhat clicky feel, providing very quiet typing except for certain keys like Enter, Backspace, and Escape. The keyboard has a reported key travel of 1.5mm and there are dedicated Page Up and Page Down keys above the Left and Right arrow keys. Dedicated Home, End, Insert, and Delete keys are along the top row. The Fn key is placed to the left of Control, which some people hate (although Lenovo does provide a BIOS option to swap it), but it's in the same position on Apple keyboards so I'm used to it. However, since there are dedicated Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys, I don't really have a use for the Fn key anyway. Firmware The X1 Carbon has a very detailed BIOS/firmware menu which can be entered with the F1 key at boot. F12 can be used to temporarily select a different boot device. A neat feature of the Lenovo BIOS is that it supports showing a custom boot logo instead of the big red Lenovo logo. From Windows, download the latest BIOS Update Utility for the X1 Carbon (my model was 20HR). Run it and it'll extract everything to C:driversflash(some random string). Drop a logo.gif file in that directory and run winuptp.exe. If a logo file is present, it'll ask whether to use it and then write the new BIOS to its staging area, then reboot to actually flash it. + OpenBSD support Secure Boot has to be disabled in the BIOS menu, and the "CSM Support" option must be enabled, even when "UEFI/Legacy Boot" is left on "UEFI Only". Otherwise the screen will just go black after the OpenBSD kernel loads into memory. Based on this component list, it seems like everything but the fingerprint sensor works fine on OpenBSD. *** Configuring 5 different desktop environments on FreeBSD (https://www.linuxsecrets.com/en/entry/51-freebsd/2017/09/04/2942-configure-5-freebsd-x-environments) This fairly quick tutorial over at LinuxSecrets.com is a great start if you are new to FreeBSD, especially if you are coming from Linux and miss your favourite desktop environment It just goes to show how easy it is to build the desktop you want on modern FreeBSD The tutorial covers: GNOME, KDE, Xfce, Mate, and Cinnamon The instructions for each boil down to some variation of: Install the desktop environment and a login manager if it is not included: > sudo pkg install gnome3 Enable the login manager, and usually dbus and hald: > sudo sysrc dbusenable="YES" haldenable="YES" gdmenable="YES" gnomeenable="YES"? If using a generic login manager, add the DE startup command to your .xinitrc: > echo "exec cinnamon" > ~/.xinitrc And that is about it. The tutorial goes into more detail on other configuration you can do to get your desktop just the way you like it. To install Lumina: > sudo pkg install lumina pcbsd-utils-qt5 This will install Lumina and the pcbsd utilities package which includes pcdm, the login manager. In the near future we hear the login manager and some of the other utilities will be split into separate packages, making it easier to use them on vanilla FreeBSD. > sudo sysrc pcdmenable=”YES” dbusenable="YES" hald_enable="YES" Reboot, and you should be greeted with the graphical login screen *** A return-oriented programming defense from OpenBSD (https://lwn.net/Articles/732201/) We talked a bit about RETGUARD last week, presenting Theo's email announcing the new feature Linux Weekly News has a nice breakdown on just how it works Stack-smashing attacks have a long history; they featured, for example, as a core part of the Morris worm back in 1988. Restrictions on executing code on the stack have, to a great extent, put an end to such simple attacks, but that does not mean that stack-smashing attacks are no longer a threat. Return-oriented programming (ROP) has become a common technique for compromising systems via a stack-smashing vulnerability. There are various schemes out there for defeating ROP attacks, but a mechanism called "RETGUARD" that is being implemented in OpenBSD is notable for its relative simplicity. In a classic stack-smashing attack, the attack code would be written directly to the stack and executed there. Most modern systems do not allow execution of on-stack code, though, so this kind of attack will be ineffective. The stack does affect code execution, though, in that the call chain is stored there; when a function executes a "return" instruction, the address to return to is taken from the stack. An attacker who can overwrite the stack can, thus, force a function to "return" to an arbitrary location. That alone can be enough to carry out some types of attacks, but ROP adds another level of sophistication. A search through a body of binary code will turn up a great many short sequences of instructions ending in a return instruction. These sequences are termed "gadgets"; a large program contains enough gadgets to carry out almost any desired task — if they can be strung together into a chain. ROP works by locating these gadgets, then building a series of stack frames so that each gadget "returns" to the next. There is, of course, a significant limitation here: a ROP chain made up of exclusively polymorphic gadgets will still work, since those gadgets were not (intentionally) created by the compiler and do not contain the return-address-mangling code. De Raadt acknowledged this limitation, but said: "we believe once standard-RET is solved those concerns become easier to address separately in the future. In any case a substantial reduction of gadgets is powerful". Using the compiler to insert the hardening code greatly eases the task of applying RETGUARD to both the OpenBSD kernel and its user-space code. At least, that is true for code written in a high-level language. Any code written in assembly must be changed by hand, though, which is a fair amount of work. De Raadt and company have done that work; he reports that: "We are at the point where userland and base are fully working without regressions, and the remaining impacts are in a few larger ports which directly access the return address (for a variety of reasons)". It can be expected that, once these final issues are dealt with, OpenBSD will ship with this hardening enabled. The article wonders about applying the same to Linux, but notes it would be difficult because the Linux kernel cannot currently be compiled using LLVM If any benchmarks have been run to determine the cost of using RETGUARD, they have not been publicly posted. The extra code will make the kernel a little bigger, and the extra overhead on every function is likely to add up in the end. But if this technique can make the kernel that much harder to exploit, it may well justify the extra execution overhead that it brings with it. All that's needed is somebody to actually do the work and try it out. Videos from BSDCan have started to appear!

This week on BSDNow! We've got Netflix + FreeBSD news to discuss, always a crowd pleaser, that plus EuroBSDCon is just around the corner. Stick around for your place This episode was brought to you by Headlines Protecting Netflix Viewing Privacy at Scale, with FreeBSD (http://techblog.netflix.com/search/label/FreeBSD) This blog post from Netflix tells the story of how Netflix developed in-kernel TLS to speed up delivery of video via HTTPS Since the beginning of the Open Connect program we have significantly increased the efficiency of our OCAs - from delivering 8 Gbps of throughput from a single server in 2012 to over 90 Gbps from a single server in 2016. We contribute to this effort on the software side by optimizing every aspect of the software for our unique use case - in particular, focusing on the open source FreeBSD operating system and the NGINX web server that run on the OCAs. In the modern internet world, we have to focus not only on efficiency, but also security. There are many state-of-the-art security mechanisms in place at Netflix, including Transport Level Security (TLS) encryption of customer information, search queries, and other confidential data. We have always relied on pre-encoded Digital Rights Management (DRM) to secure our video streams. Over the past year, we've begun to use Secure HTTP (HTTP over TLS or HTTPS) to encrypt the transport of the video content as well. This helps protect member privacy, particularly when the network is insecure - ensuring that our members are safe from eavesdropping by anyone who might want to record their viewing habits. The goal is to ensure that your government, ISP, and wifi sniffing neighbour cannot tell which Netflix videos you are watching Netflix Open Connect serves over 125 million hours of content per day, all around the world. Given our scale, adding the overhead of TLS encryption calculations to our video stream transport had the potential to greatly reduce the efficiency of our global infrastructure. We evaluated available and applicable ciphers and decided to primarily use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher in Galois/Counter Mode (GCM), available starting in TLS 1.2. We chose AES-GCM over the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) method, which comes at a higher computational cost. The AES-GCM cipher algorithm encrypts and authenticates the message simultaneously - as opposed to AES-CBC, which requires an additional pass over the data to generate keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC). CBC can still be used as a fallback for clients that cannot support the preferred method. All revisions of Open Connect Appliances also have Intel CPUs that support AES-NI, the extension to the x86 instruction set designed to improve encryption and decryption performance. We needed to determine the best implementation of AES-GCM with the AES-NI instruction set, so we investigated alternatives to OpenSSL, including BoringSSL and the Intel Intelligent Storage Acceleration Library (ISA-L). Netflix and NGINX had previously worked together to improve our HTTP client request and response time via the use of sendfile calls to perform a zero-copy data flow from storage (HDD or SSD) to network socket, keeping the data in the kernel memory address space and relieving some of the CPU burden. The Netflix team specifically added the ability to make the sendfile calls asynchronous - further reducing the data path and enabling more simultaneous connections. However, TLS functionality, which requires the data to be passed to the application layer, was incompatible with the sendfile approach. To retain the benefits of the sendfile model while adding TLS functionality, we designed a hybrid TLS scheme whereby session management stays in the application space, but the bulk encryption is inserted into the sendfile data pipeline in the kernel. This extends sendfile to support encrypting data for TLS/SSL connections. We tested the BoringSSL and ISA-L AES-GCM implementations with our sendfile improvements against a baseline of OpenSSL (with no sendfile changes), under typical Netflix traffic conditions on three different OCA hardware types. Our changes in both the BoringSSL and ISA-L test situations significantly increased both CPU utilization and bandwidth over baseline - increasing performance by up to 30%, depending on the OCA hardware version. We chose the ISA-L cipher implementation, which had slightly better results. With these improvements in place, we can continue the process of adding TLS to our video streams for clients that support it, without suffering prohibitive performance hits. If you would like more detail, check out the papers from AsiaBSDCon 2015 (https://people.freebsd.org/~rrs/asiabsd_2015_tls.pdf) and the updated one from 2016 (https://people.freebsd.org/~rrs/asiabsd_tls_improved.pdf) *** OpenBSD on HP Stream 7 (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/OpenBSD-on-HP-Stream-7) Recent events have rocked the mobile computing world to its core. OpenBSD retired the zaurus port, leaving users in desperate need of a new device. And not long before that, Microsoft released the Anniversary Update to Windows 10, but with free space requirements such that it's nigh impossible to install on cheap 32GB eMMC equipped devices such as the HP Stream series, leaving users searching for a new lightweight operating system. With necessity as both mother and father, the scene is set for a truly epic pairing. OpenBSD on the HP Stream 7. The HP Stream line is a series of budget computers in a couple form factors. The Stream 11 is a fairly typical netbook. However, the Stream 7 and 8 are tablets. They look like cheap Android devices, but inside the case, they're real boys, er PCs, with Intel Atom CPUs. To install OpenBSD on such a device, we need a few parts. Obviously, the tablet itself. There's a dearth of ports on these things, but there is a micro USB port. Attaching anything useful requires an OTG “on the go” cable that creates a type A port. Attaching more than one useful thing requires a mini hub. And completing the install requires one each USB stick, keyboard, and network adapter. First, we need to prep the machine to boot from USB. Actually, before doing anything, make sure you have a full charge. It's going to be battery only from here on out. Plug everything in. Flash drive, keyboard, and network into the hub, hub into the OTG cable, cable into the port on top of the Stream. Turn on the machine while holding the volume down button. This launches a mini menu from which we can enter the BIOS. There's a little on screen keyboard in the corner, so this can be done even without a keyboard attached, but the USB keyboard should work. We need to change two settings in the boot section. First, turn off secure boot. Second, switch boot order to prefer USB. Save and exit. The first reboot reveals a confirmation screen checking that we really want to disable secure boot. We must enter a PIN and press enter. Enter the PIN shown on the screen and press enter. And we are go. Then boot up OpenBSD from the USB drive Ted then works there a number of kernel panics and device driver issues, but after disabling ACPI and IntelDRM, the device boots OpenBSD. Of course, there's no X at this point. And definitely no touch screen. And no internal networking. However, by keeping our USB hub attached, we can drive the console and access the network. At least until the battery is depleted, even if we have no way of knowing how long that will be since we disabled all the ACPI devices, which also means no suspend or resume. With some xorg.conf hacking, he did get Xorg working *** DragonflyBSD steps towards base LibreSSL (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/commits/2016-September/624493.html) Project: DragonFlyBSD / Switch base to use private LibreSSL libraries (http://freshbsd.org/commit/dfbsd/304ca408000cd34559ef5319b4b5a6766d6eb35b) DragonFly BSD adopts uses of LibreSSL (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911231651) The number of projects beginning to switch over to LibreSSL is growing and it appears we can now throw DragonFly into that camp. Following something that sounds vaguely familiar (Allan!) DFLY is now creating “private” LibreSSL libraries which are only linked against by base system binaries. For the moment OpenSSL is still built, primarily so that various ports and 3rd party apps can continue to function as before. A NO_OPENSSL option has also been added, but doesn't really do much (yet), since it'll still build and install headers / libraries even if set. *** OpenBSD g2k16 Hackathon g2k16 Hackathon Report: Antoine Jacoutot on Binary Patches (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911012316) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Matthieu Herrb on xenodm (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911231712) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Vincent Gross on iked(8), armv7 and sys/netinet[6] (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911000337) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Florian Obser on httpd, networking, acme-client, and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911000052) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse on ddb(4) and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160909012520) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Christian Weisgerber on gettext progress, RTC work, removing kernel cruft (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160908002430) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Brent Cook on Chromebooks, crypto, and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160907131655) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Ted Unangst on doas, signify, code removal (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160906230610) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Marc Espie on package signing evolution (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160905235911) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Adam Wolk on ports, wireless drivers and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160906004915) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Mike Larkin on vmm + vmd progress (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160905134009&mode=expanded) *** News Roundup OpenBSD (with encrypted softraid) on the Chromebook Pixel (https://jcs.org/notaweblog/2016/08/26/openbsd_chromebook/) Looking for a Laptop to make your OpenBSD road-warrior? If so, we have a great blog tutorial on getting OpenBSD setup on the Chromebook Pixel with encrypted softraid! Author Joshua Stein gives us a very verbose look at how to install and dial-in the laptop perfectly. But first for those wondering about the hardware in the pixel: The Chromebook Pixel LS (2015) has an Intel Core i7 processor (Broadwell) at 2.4Ghz, 16Gb of RAM, a 2560x1700 400-nit IPS screen (239ppi), and Intel 802.11ac wireless. It has a Kingston 64Gib flash chip, of which about 54Gib can be used by OpenBSD when dual-booting with a 1Gb Chrome OS partition. Due to this being a chromebook with seaBIOS, some manual key-press trickery will be required to initially get the OpenBSD Installer up and running. From here you'll want to pay special close attention to the disk partitioning. In particular Joshua will show us how to shrink the existing encrypted /home that ChromeOS uses, keeping the dual-boot intact. This will become important if you ever plan on updating the device. From here, we move back to a more traditional setup, but with the added bonus of doing a soft-raid setup. But the fun isn't over yet! If you want to make OpenBSD the default boot, that'll require cracking the lid on the device and removing a special pink write-protect screw. And of course if you want to remove the default splash-screen image, Joshua has you covered as well, although some flashrom magic will be required. At this point you are nearly done. Final details on enabling specific bits of hardware are discussed. Most things work, apart from Audio and Bluetooth as of right now. *** doas mastery (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/doas-mastery) “doas” mastery - Paging MWL! Our buddy Ted Unangst has written up a great ‘mastery' guide of the doas command, which can come in handy if you are among the un-initiated in doas land. UNIX systems have two classes of user, the super user and regular users. The super user is super, and everybody else is not. This concentration of power keeps things simple, but also means that often too much power is granted. Usually we only need super user powers to perform one task. We would rather not have such power all the time. Think of the responsibility that would entail! Like the sudo command, doas allows for subdivision of super user privileges, granting them only for specific tasks. He starts with the basic doas.conf setup, which starts with an empty config file The doas config is much like a pf ruleset, the default is to block everything > We add the root rule second because doas evaluates rules in a last match manner. root is in the wheel group, so the first rule will match, and then we need to override that with a second rule. Remember to always start with general rules, then make them more specific. *** iXsystems iXsystems to host MeetBSD (https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/ixsystems-host-meetbsd-california-2016-uc-berkeley/) FreeBSD Foundation Welcomes New Board Members New Board Members (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/freebsd-foundation-welcomes-new-board-members/) The FreeBSD Foundation has added two new board members Interview with Kylie Liang (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/new-board-member-interview-kylie-liang/) Kylie will focus on representing FreeBSD at conferences and businesses in China I live in China. There, I can act as a bridge between Chinese companies and the FreeBSD community to help drive FreeBSD adoption. Through my leadership role in the FreeBSD Foundation, I will help promote FreeBSD in China and also represent the Foundation at conferences and events in my region. Kylie leads the team the ensures FreeBSD runs well on Hyper-V and Azure, including providing commercial support for customers who run FreeBSD or FreeBSD based appliances on the Azure Cloud I joined Microsoft and started to lead the project called FreeBSD Integration Service to get FreeBSD running well on Hyper-V and Azure. To promote our work and to understand the FreeBSD ecosystem, I started to participate in FreeBSD events where I was inspired by this technical community. Interview with Philip Paeps (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/new-board-member-interview-philip-paeps/) Philip started with FreeBSD in the early 2000s and got his commit bit in 2004 The patches I submitted to make ACPI and input devices work on that laptop led to a src commit bit in 2004. While I haven't worked on ACPI or input devices since, I have been contributing to different areas of the kernel. Taking up maintainership of some ports I cared about also got me a ports commit bit after some time. Philip will continue to help run EuroBSDCon, but is also spreading the word about FreeBSD in India and Africa Primarily, I think I can be useful! I attend (and organize) a number of conferences around the world every year, particularly in regions that have a mostly “stealthy” FreeBSD community. While I clearly don't need to be on the FreeBSD Foundation board to advocate for FreeBSD, joining as a director will provide an additional asset when working in areas of the world where organizational affiliations are meaningful. Philip has also developed network drivers and various other bits and pieces, and has extensive experience working with and for hardware vendors and appliance vendors Despite intending to eventually contribute their code to the FreeBSD Project as open source, many hardware vendors still find it very difficult to engage directly with the FreeBSD development community. The Foundation helps bridge that gap and helps facilitate collaboration between commercial vendors and the FreeBSD community. I hope to make FreeBSD more visible in regions of the world where it is historically under-represented. I expect I will be attending even more conferences and getting myself invited to even more organizations. more, less, and a story of typical Unix fossilization (https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/MoreAndUnixFossilization) Chris Siebenmann from the University of Toronto digs into the history of the difference between ‘less' and ‘more' In the beginning, by which we mean V7, Unix didn't have a pager at all. That was okay; Unix wasn't very visual in those days, partly because it was still sort of the era of the hard copy terminal. Then along came Berkeley and BSD. People at Berkeley were into CRT terminals, and so BSD Unix gave us things like vi and the first pager program, more (which showed up quite early, in 3BSD, although this isn't as early as vi, which appears in 2BSD). Calling a pager more is a little bit odd but it's a Unix type of name and from the beginning more prompted you with '--More--' at the bottom of the screen. All of the Unix vendors that based their work on BSD Unix (like Sun and DEC) naturally shipped versions of more along with the rest of the BSD programs, and so more spread around the BSD side of things. However, more was by no means the best pager ever; as you might expect, it was actually a bit primitive and lacking in features. So fairly early on Mark Nudelman wrote a pager with somewhat more features and it wound up being called less as somewhat of a joke. In a sane world, Unix vendors would have either replaced their version of more with the clearly superior less or at least updated their version of more to the 4.3 BSD version. Maybe less wouldn't have replaced more immediately, but certainly over say the next five years, when it kept on being better and most people kept preferring it when they had a choice.” + “This entire history has led to a series of vaguely absurd outcomes on various modern Unixes. On Solaris derivatives more is of course the traditional version with source code that can probably trace itself all the way back to 3BSD, carefully updated to SUS compliance. Solaris would never dream of changing what more is, not even if the replacement is better. Why, it might disturb someone. Oddly, FreeBSD has done the most sensible thing; they've outright replaced more with less. There is a /usr/bin/more but it's the same binary as less and as you can see the more manpage is just the less manpage. OpenBSD has done the same thing but has a specific manpage for more instead of just giving you the less manpage. So, now you can see why I say that less is more, or more, or both, at several levels. less is certainly more than more, and sometimes less literally is more (or rather more is less, to put it the right way around).

In today's episode we look at the newly updated Chromebook pixel as well as the new Google store to go with it! Plus we take a quick look at the updated Google play store app and finally Cyanogen announce a partnership that could be a key step in "freeing" Android from Google. Headover to Droidtoday.com for show notes (and a picture of Chris's desk)

Speaker: Jason Grigsby Windows 8. Chromebook Pixel. Ubuntu Phone. These devices shatter another consensual hallucination that we web developers have bought into: mobile = touch and desktop = keyboard and mouse. We have tablets with keyboards; laptops that become tablets; laptops with touch screens; phones with physical keyboards; and even phones that become desktop computers. Not to mention new forms of input like cameras, voice control and sensors. One of the core things that responsive design has taught us is that we have to be comfortable with the ambiguity of not knowing what the size of our canvas is going to be. Input has that same ambiguity. It is transient. It is unknowable. Reconciling that understanding from a design and implementation perspective is going to be as big a challenge if not bigger than the one we faced coming to grips with responsive design. We’ve learned how to respond to screen size. Our next challenge is learning how to adapt to different forms of input.

Tim and David discuss distracted driving, sugar-less soda, Google IO, the Verizon and Google kerfuffle, and Chromebook Pixels.

DigitalOutbox Episode 164 DigitalOutbox Episode 164 - Google I/O Playback Listen via iTunes Listen via M4A Listen via MP3 Shownotes 1:45 - Google I/O - Just one keynote this year....that lasted for 3 ½ hours - Notable absence - no new hardware. Unlike previous years there were no hardware announcement, but all attendees did get a Chromebook Pixel. There was however plenty of new software and services (but nothing on Google TV and no new version of Android). Key announcements... - Google: 900 million Android activations to date, 48 billion app downloads - Google announces Play game services, Android's cross-platform answer to Game Center - The platform will support cloud saves, thereby allowing users to save their progress or game state and pick it up on a separate device, as well as achievements and leaderboards using Google+. - API will enable both turn-based and real-time multiplayer - Google Play game services will be supported for titles on Android, iOS and the Web - truly cross platform - Google Play services updated with new location, Google+ sign-in, and cloud messaging APIs - 3 new location API’s including Geofencing and Activity Recognition API that will help users track their physical activity - Android Studio - It’s an IDE based on IntelliJ. - This tool has more options for Android Development, making the process faster and more productive. A “live layout” was shown that renders your app as you’re editing in realtime. - Tools to support beta testing and language translations - Google takes on Spotify with Google Play Music All Access subscription service - web and mobile interfaces feature millions of songs you can play instantly, recommendations, charts and playlists, and instant radio stations. The Spotify competitor launches today in the US for $9.99 a month, comes with a free trial month, and sign-ups before June 30th get it for $7.99. - Everything from your Google Music locker is automatically pulled into Google Play Music All Access. Beneath the content you own, everything else an artist has ao All Access is automatically listed and plays at a tap. More countries will get Google Play Music All Access soon. - Google redesigning Play apps and Play Store on the web - Google turns the Samsung Galaxy S4 into a Nexus phone, coming June 26th for $649 - Unlocked - Vanilla Android - no Samsung crapware added - Should get quick updates of new Android releases - Google takes on Apple in schools with Google Play for Education - Play store for education - currently trialling now - Google+ completely redesigned with new cards-based interface - 41 new features - Multi column stream (Like Facebook or Pinterest) - Auto tag posts - New features for hangouts and photos - Photos - automatically enhance the tonal distribution in an image, soften skin, sharpen certain parts of an image and remove noise – and all of those computations happen in the cloud. - system can now analyze your images and kick out blurry photos, duplicates, images with bad exposure (which it will try to fix). It can also recognize good images with certain landmarks, for example, and detect faces and see if people are smiling and/or of those people are in your Google+ circles. It will also try to make some decision based on aesthetics. What used to take hours of work, Gundotra said, now happens automatically in the cloud and take seconds. - Now that Google offers everybody 15GB of free storage, users an also upload 15GB worth of full-size images to Google+ Photos. In addition, the autobackup feature provides unlimited storage space for photos at sized under 2048px. - “Awesome” – can automatically detect when an image is part of a series and stitch it together in one image or an animated GIF. “If we detect that you took a series of photos, in burst mode or otherwise, we can stitch them together,” Gundotra told us. To recognize these images, the system does a bit of analysis to make sure the background hasn’t moved. - This is about more than animated GIFs, though. This new feature – which Google calls “auto awesome” – can also automatically create a group photo from a series of photos and pick the one where everybody is smiling. It can stitch together landscape photos to create panoramas and create HDR images from a series of photos where it detects bracketed exposures. All of this happens extremely fast, too, thanks to the power of Google’s data centers. - Google unveils Hangouts: a unified messaging system for Android, iOS, and Chrome - replaces the numerous Google services that currently help you have real-time conversations with other users, such as Google Talk, Google Voice and Google+ Hangouts. - It will launch on most major platforms later today, including iOS, Android and the Web. (iOS works well, Android - doesn’t support Nexus 7) - Conversations can either be one-on-one or in larger groups; the new Hangouts app can do both. - As with many other apps, such as WhatsApp or even iMessage, conversations support multimedia content, including high-resolution photographs. - Video chats as well - Text, emoji, photos, video, see who’s typing, read receipts - The service’s Google+ integration is one of the best features in the entire product: every photo that you or a friend posts is automatically saved in a private, shared album on Google+. - One flaw - doesn’t bring in SMS, so not fully unified - Google confirm that SMS is coming soon - Google adds button-free voice search in Chrome: just say 'OK Google' - You should, according to Google, be able to ask it when your upcoming flight is, and where your package might be in transit. - Search getting a lot smarter - improving knowledge graph - Making claims that search is only starting - next generation search coming....end of search as we know it - Google Now updated to include voice reminders, emails, and public transit data - new cards include a location-based Reminder feature, public transit travel times, and information about books, music, TV shows and video games that might be of timely interest to users. - Reminder feature is based on time, people and location and can be set with simple voice commands using natural language processing. It’s like the geofenced Reminders that are used by Apple in iOS, but looks to be arguably more useful since it ties into the Google Now knowledge graph. Reminders takes Now further by giving users a way to actively set and retrieve content, which should help prove its worth among users who weren’t getting much out of the automated results previously being generated by the engine. - Google Wallet comes to Gmail - Google announced two important features regarding Google Wallet. The first is integration with Gmail so you can pay by sending an email. The second is the launch of the Google Wallet Instant Buy Android API, which lets developers integrate payment features into apps for selling physical goods and services. - The first feature, which is rolling out “over the coming months” to all US Gmail users over 18 years old, means you can send money to whoever you want directly from Gmail. Recipients don’t need to have a Gmail address: any email will do. Google lets you send money for free as long as your bank account is linked to Google Wallet or using your Google Wallet Balance. There are “low fees,” however if you are sending money using your linked credit or debit card. - Google redesigns Maps for mobile - Android, iOS incl iPad version coming this summer - New look for Android, based on iOS - iPad coming soon - new floating search box is the highlight of the main map view, and it incorporates a new suggestion engine that will help you find relevant places nearby and more. - new version of maps will also have live traffic incident reporting and re-routing. - Google Maps integrates Google Earth and Street View in completely redesigned interface - new version of Google Maps is heavily customized for every user, with knowledge about a user contributing to discovery of new places using the same data as Google Now. - new service collates imagery from Google Earth, Google’s Street View and special projects including its space and underwater imaging. Instead of having to bounce around between products, you’ll now be able to get all of that in one place - new overhead view, which is also rendered in 3D using WebGL, like Google Earth: - Flight search and place reviews are now integrated fully into Google Maps, giving you the ability to search for directions including flights in one go. Reviews and ratings can be culled from top reviewers or your Google+ circles. - Larry Page then came on stage, said a few statements (slammed Oracle - in it for the money, then went into a 45 minute Q&A. Most was fairly interesting but there was one bizarre statement.. - Google CEO Larry Page is holding a rare Q&A session with attendees of today's Google I/O keynote, and he's been offering up some pretty unfiltered answers. In response to a question about reducing negativity and focusing on changing the world, Page noted that "the pace of change is increasing" and said that "we haven't adapted systems to deal with that." Specifically, he said that "not all change is good" and said that we need to build "mechanisms to allow experimentation." That's when his response got really interesting. "There are many exciting things you could do that are illegal or not allowed by regulation," Page said. "And that's good, we don't want to change the world. But maybe we can set aside a part of the world." He likened this potential free-experimentation zone to Burning Man and said that we need "some safe places where we can try things and not have to deploy to the entire world." Google is already well-known for coming up with some pretty interesting ideas — the idea of seeing what Page could come up with in this lawless beta-test country is simultaneously exciting and a bit terrifying. - Also, this - Every story I read about Google is ‘us versus some other company’ or some stupid thing, and I just don’t find that very interesting.

Most important things are not zero sum, there is a lot of opportunity out there. - A few hours later they put out a cease and desist on Microsoft - Following Google's demands for Microsoft to remove its Windows Phone YouTube app, Microsoft has responded saying it's happy to include advertising. Google sent a cease and desist letter to Microsoft recently, with concerns that the Windows Phone YouTube app does not display ads. "We’d be more than happy to include advertising but need Google to provide us access to the necessary APIs," says a Microsoft spokesperson. - Microsoft appears to want to rectify the situation, noting Google CEO Larry Page's comments at I/O today.

Microsoft recently released an update for its Windows Phone YouTube application to support sign-in, downloads, and a full YouTube experience. The application has been available for just over a week, but Google has demanded that it be removed by May 22nd for violating its YouTube API rules. 32:52 - 50 Billion Downloads 34:10 - YouTube launches its paid subscription channels with select partners 37:05 - Google Unifies Its Free And Paid Storage Options 38:40 - Google completes the feedback loop 40:20 - Lulzsec hacker group handed jail sentences 40:58 - BlackBerry bringing BBM to Android and iOS this summer 43:51 - Nokia unveils the Lumia 925 46:18 - HTC First to be discontinued 47:25 - Windows Keeps Getting Better 47:57 - Players force EA to drop online pass for used games 49:35 - GT6 for PS3 52:29 - Chris Hadfield - the astronaut's best tweets, photos and videos
