Podcasts about Control panel

We grew up with a Mac Plus/512K, so getting the Pico-Mac 68000 emulator https://github.com/evansm7/pico-mac working on Fruit Jam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200 with 1MB+ of RAM was a high priority for those nostalgic vibes. We've got HSTX DVI output plus PSRAM working https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/tree/rp2350-fruitjam, which means 4MB RAM—that's the most you could get into a Mac Plus and enough to run System 6! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_6 Please note that System 7.1 was the pinnacle of software design, but System 6 was also pretty good. System 6 had some nifty features, such as the "Extensions" and "Control Panel" system programs, like After Dark with the famous Flying Toasters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Dark_(software). Note that we're still working on audio, so you can see the high byte of the memory space used for audio that we've mapped into the video RAM for visualization. http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/devel/plushw.php has more details on how that works - its 8-bit PWM audio reads "one byte per scanline." We'll have that output on the I2S DAC for speaker or headphone output.

Manually manufacturing control panels is difficult. It demands highly skilled labor, years of reading schematics, and the ability to troubleshoot. What's more, it's a time-consuming process. This is where automated and semi-automated panel design and assembly comes in. Not only does this innovation drastically reduce the amount of time spent manufacturing panels, but it also frees up skilled laborers to do higher-value work. In this episode, we're joined by Rittal's Brian Jung and EPLAN's Kruno Kutnohorski. Join us as we discuss the difference between semi-automated and automated panel design and assembly, how to help customers overcome technology hesitancy, and why automation is nothing to be afraid of. In this episode, find out:The difference between automating panels in America and the rest of the worldThe importance of having a story to tell that's backed by data, rather than just conceptualHow EPLAN and Rittal use “lighthouse customers”Best practices for effective collaboration How automation is helping solve the skilled labor shortageWhy there's no right or wrong way to start with automationBrian's “Girl Scout cookie enterprise,” and Kruno's favorite football team and animal!Enjoying the show?

Windows seemingly has adjustments, settings, configurations, and modifications for just about everything. Despite a decade-long effort to finalize the Settings app, the Control Panel is still needed sometimes and finding the adjustment you're seeking can be difficult. That's one reason you might want to enable God Mode. In Short Circuits: One of the first things technicians want us to do when something goes wrong with a computer or other electronic device is turn it off and turn it back on again. This actually fixes a lot of problems, but why? • Do you use Wikipedia for research? Millions of people do every day and, despite the doubters, it's usually quite accurate.

Wes Fenlon stops by this week to help Will run down all the new features and changes in the 24H2 update to Windows 11, from better quick settings to Wi-Fi 7 support and the long-awaited (or perhaps dreaded) addition of Microsoft's Copilot AI features. Then Will also delivers a trip report from this year's Maker Faire, detailing all the best projects he saw at the Bay Area's preeminent DIY event. It's like two podcasts in one! Support the Pod!

If you think sorting out differences between cellular plans is a challenge, try wading through information for the low-cost plans, particularly if the person who will use the plan has some unusual requirements. In Short Circuits: Microsoft has been talking about eliminating the Control Panel for about two decades and yet it remains. It may eventually be forgotten, but not gone. • A pleasant Friday afternoon was interrupted by two emails from my health insurance provider. The first said I had used the “forgot password” function and the second said my password had been changed. Stopping the scammer took only an hour, but it was an hour of frustration.

Today we have a very special panel event episode featuring two ‘Targeted Individuals aka T.I.'s” who have all been working overtime to expose electronic warfare and mind control as prominent whistleblowers in the T.I. community through books, blogs, podcasts, and outreach. Introducing: -Ron Alan: Author and writer of the book: “21st Century MK-Ultra Slave: A Vintage Transhuman Tale”-Tracy with ‘Freedom Protocols' on Substack, andThis is going to be a very special episode as the topic of targeting has become more and more widespread and more and more survivors and victims are coming forth and whistleblowing their experiences. I chose 2 guests who have 2 very different backgrounds and experiences and who have all stepped up to be on the front lines of exposing this terrifying torture being inflicted on countless individuals all around the world. Gang-stalking, V2K, directed energy weapons and other forms of remote torture are proven to exist - it's society who has been slow to catch on to this being a reality. These covert forms of torture are not only debilitating to those experiencing them, but because the abuse is essentially invisible, victims and survivors are left oftentimes with no help, support, or ability to prove what they are going through is actually happening. I've heard countless times from T.I.'s that when they decide to reach out to help for any kind, they are abandoned, called crazy, and gaslit back into silence. And because they are left in 24/7 pain, discomfort, fear and terror, working a normal job or living normally in society is often impossible. The other problem with this type of abuse and torture is because it is so covert and often done with different forms of electricity, there is no one known ‘cure' or way to stop what is happening and victims can end up with excruciating side-effects such as burns and burning sensations, rashes, full-body pain, wounds, continual ringing in the ears and tinnitus, brain fog and trouble thinking, and so much more.  CONNECT WITH RON: Purchase Ron's Book:21st Century MK-Ultra Slave: A Vintage Transhuman Tale: Alan, Ron: 9798846563490: Amazon.com: BooksCONNECT WITH TRACY: Substack: (7) Freedom Protocols | Tracy | SubstackTwitter: (5) Tracy (@imgodzgurl) / X (twitter.com)YouTube: @imgodzgurl CONNECT WITH EMMA & THE IMAGINATION:Emma's Substack: (1) Emma's Substack | Emma Katherine | SubstackEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com   All links: Emma Katherine on Direct.meBUY ME A COFFEE: Emma Katherine is Artist (buymeacoffee.com)Support the show

Bald ist Meep wieder da! Aber noch nicht in dieser Folge, da müssen euch Mike und Mo genügen.Mo hat seinen PC nicht nur endlich aufgebaut, sondern direkt auch umgebaut und ein wenig aufgerüstet: Er möchte bald seine "Karriere" auf Twitch starten. Mike bleibt lieber bei vereinzelten "Let's Plays" auf Youtube, wie aktuell zu Outcast 1.1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otogo7ZhEX4. Auch sonst sehr PC-lastig: Nvidia modernisieren endlich das Control Panel bzw. bringt eine neue App, die Control Panel und Geforce Experience vereinen und ersetzen soll. Sony testeen das VR-Headset PS VR2 für den Einsatz am PC. Außerdem feiern Sony und Entwickler Arrowhead aktuell einen gewaltigen Erfolg auf Playstation und PC mit Helldivers 2 und zeigen anscheinend, wie GaaS funktionieren kann. Arctic bringen die AiO-Wasserkühlung Liquid Freezer III heraus, den Nachfolger der sehr erfolgreichen Liquid Freezer II. Crucial, die Endkunden-Tochter von Micron, wagen sich nach der Einstellung der Ballistix-Reihe wieder ein wenig in Richtung "Overclocker"-RAM mit dem neuen DDR5-Arbeitsspeicher "Pro Overclocking". Mercedes wollen wohl länger als ursprünglich geplant Verbrenner-Autos bauen und begründen das mit Problemen in der Lieferkette. Mo und Mike wünschen sich, dass die deutschen Autobauer endlich von den SUV-Schiffen wegkommen. Neu hinzugekommenen Hörern wollen wir besonders unsere letzten beiden Specials ans Herz legen: zum einen die Folge zu Tieren in Spielen mit Robin von Hooked und Die Ratsherren https://technikquatsch.de/special-feat-robin-schweiger-tiere-in-spielen-gefaehrten-gegner-spielfiguren-ressourcen/ und unsere Spekulationen und Wünsche zum Nachfolger der Nintendo Switch mit Mats von MatsMittendrin und ebenfalls Die Ratsherren https://technikquatsch.de/special-die-switch-2-technikquatsch-fantasiert-feat-special-guest-mats/.

Lots of things come with do's and don'ts: appliances, computers, cars ... even clothes. These do's and don'ts help us get the most out of the things we use every day. Your wastewater system is no different.  By following the manufacturer's recommendations, and some common-sense guidelines, you can be confident that your wastewater system will operate with little-to-no hassle for many years. Not every septic system has a control panel. However, if you have one in your system, it might be something of a mystery. In this last episode of our series, Angela and I talk about what you should and shouldn't do if you have a control panel or alarm as a part of your septic system. Listen along as we give you some practical advice to take some of the mystery out of your control panel.If you have comments or questions about our podcast, you can reach us through this link.

Today, Dr. Snyder is going to talk about attracting abundance. He will discuss about clearing your energy field and understanding the Law of Attraction. Stay tuned as Dr. Snyder shares his insights and secrets that you don't want to miss out. Standout Quotes: If the body is a result of the energies that make it up, and the experiences that we have are the result of the information encoded in the energy, then that energy must be encoded in a language the neurology understands. If that's true that language is size, shape, location, and color. Key Takeaways: Everything that we consider an attribute has neurological meaning. It tells neurology how to generate an experience, which is analogous to a vibrational signature, which is holographic in nature. And if you can access one piece of the hologram, you can access all of it.

Controlling chemical dosing with automation allows for less chemical usage. Chris Cason from Hayward does a deep dive demonstration on the plug-and-play OmniLogic Control panel with JC Escudero from J Design Pool & Spa. Features like handling multiple heat sources, the Chem Sense & Dispense System, light controls, and the OmniDirect capabilities are also shown. Plus, how do you move from an older Hayward system to the OmniLogic?

Natasha Vorompiova describes herself as a Metrics Whisperer—her clients call her their secret weapon because she helps them collect key metrics into an easy-to-read Control Panel that reveals the meaning behind all those numbers. As a result, her clients are able to make decisions based on specific, personal trends and patterns we detect in their customers' and prospects' activities, instead of relying on guesses and hunches. Growing a business is very much a numbers game, but it doesn't have to feel like playing blackjack, nor that there's no option but to do more to gain more.  She believes the key is knowing your numbers, making a well-reasoned hypothesis based on what the numbers tell you, and once you've taken focused action, comparing your projections to the results so that you can optimize your machine even further. “1% action can make a 99% difference.” The internal shifts that need to take place to increase business from 6, 7 and 8-figures. What is a “system whisperer?” How Natasha got started with this online space. How she pivots with the multitude of technology platforms.  The systems that Natasha believes work and the systems that aren't working.  Why it's so incredibly important to not go with the status quo with systems.  How to determine the business system that works best for you. The internal hang-ups that people have who haven't crossed the 7-figure mark.  The importance of looking at your warm audience numbers to fine-tune things and scale.  The aversions that business owners have with increasing their business revenue.

This week on BSD Now, Adrian Chadd on bringing up 802.11ac in FreeBSD, a PFsense and OpenVPN tutorial, and we talk about an interesting ZFS storage pool checkpoint project. This episode was brought to you by Headlines Bringing up 802.11ac on FreeBSD (http://adrianchadd.blogspot.com/2017/04/bringing-up-80211ac-on-freebsd.html) Adrian Chadd has a new blog post about his work to bring 802.11ac support to FreeBSD 802.11ac allows for speeds up to 500mbps and total bandwidth into multiple gigabits The FreeBSD net80211 stack has reasonably good 802.11n support, but no 802.11ac support. I decided a while ago to start adding basic 802.11ac support. It was a good exercise in figuring out what the minimum set of required features are and another excuse to go find some of the broken corner cases in net80211 that needed addressing. 802.11ac introduces a few new concepts that the stack needs to understand. I decided to use the QCA 802.11ac parts because (a) I know the firmware and general chip stuff from the first generation 11ac parts well, and (b) I know that it does a bunch of stuff (like rate control, packet scheduling, etc) so I don't have to do it. If I chose, say, the Intel 11ac parts then I'd have to implement a lot more of the fiddly stuff to get good behaviour. Step one - adding VHT channels. I decided in the shorter term to cheat and just add VHT channels to the already very large ieee80211channel map. The linux way of there being a channel context rather than hundreds of static channels to choose from is better in the long run, but I wanted to get things up and running. So, that's what I did first - I added VHT flags for 20, 40, 80, 80+80 and 160MHz operating modes and I did the bare work required to populate the channel lists with VHT channels as well. Then I needed to glue it into an 11ac driver. My ath10k port was far enough along to attempt this, so I added enough glue to say "I support VHT" to the iccaps field and propagated it to the driver for monitor mode configuration. And yes, after a bit of dancing, I managed to get a VHT channel to show up in ath10k in monitor mode and could capture 80MHz wide packets. Success! By far the most fiddly was getting channel promotion to work. net80211 supports the concept of dumb NICs (like atheros 11abgn parts) very well, where you can have multiple virtual interfaces but the "driver" view of the right configuration is what's programmed into the hardware. For firmware NICs which do this themselves (like basically everything sold today) this isn't exactly all that helpful. So, for now, it's limited to a single VAP, and the VAP configuration is partially derived from the global state and partially derived from the negotiated state. It's annoying, but it is adding to the list of things I will have to fix later. the QCA chips/firmware do 802.11 crypto offload. They actually pretend that there's no key - you don't include the IV, you don't include padding, or anything. You send commands to set the crypto keys and then you send unencrypted 802.11 frames (or 802.3 frames if you want to do ethernet only.) This means that I had to teach net80211 a few things: + frames decrypted by the hardware needed to have a "I'm decrypted" bit set, because the 802.11 header field saying "I'm decrypted!" is cleared + frames encrypted don't have the "i'm encrypted" bit set + frames encrypted/decrypted have no padding, so I needed to teach the input path and crypto paths to not validate those if the hardware said "we offload it all." Now comes the hard bit of fixing the shortcomings before I can commit the driver. There are .. lots. The first one is the global state. The ath10k firmware allows what they call 'vdevs' (virtual devices) - for example, multiple SSID/BSSID support is implemented with multiple vdevs. STA+WDS is implemented with vdevs. STA+P2P is implemented with vdevs. So, technically speaking I should go and find all of the global state that should really be per-vdev and make it per-vdev. This is tricky though, because a lot of the state isn't kept per-VAP even though it should be. Anyway, so far so good. I need to do some of the above and land it in FreeBSD-HEAD so I can finish off the ath10k port and commit what I have to FreeBSD. There's a lot of stuff coming - including all of the wave-2 stuff (like multiuser MIMO / MU-MIMO) which I just plainly haven't talked about yet. Viva la FreeBSD wireless! pfSense and OpenVPN Routing (http://www.terrafoundry.net/blog/2017/04/12/pfsense-openvpn/) This article tries to be a simple guide on how to enable your home (or small office) https://www.pfsense.org/ (pfSense) setup to route some traffic via the vanilla Internet, and some via a VPN site that you've setup in a remote location. Reasons to Setup a VPN: Control Security Privacy Fun VPNs do not instantly guarantee privacy, they're a layer, as with any other measure you might invoke. In this example I used a server that's directly under my name. Sure, it was a country with strict privacy laws, but that doesn't mean that the outgoing IP address wouldn't be logged somewhere down the line. There's also no reason you have to use your own OpenVPN install, there are many, many personal providers out there, who can offer the same functionality, and a degree of anonymity. (If you and a hundred other people are all coming from one IP, it becomes extremely difficult to differentiate, some VPN providers even claim a ‘logless' setup.) VPNs can be slow. The reason I have a split-setup in this article, is because there are devices that I want to connect to the internet quickly, and that I'm never doing sensitive things on, like banking. I don't mind if my Reddit-browsing and IRC messages are a bit slower, but my Nintendo Switch and PS4 should have a nippy connection. Services like Netflix can and do block VPN traffic in some cases. This is more of an issue for wider VPN providers (I suspect, but have no proof, that they just blanket block known VPN IP addresses.) If your VPN is in another country, search results and tracking can be skewed. This is arguable a good thing, who wants to be tracked? But it can also lead to frustration if your DuckDuckGo results are tailored to the middle of Paris, rather than your flat in Birmingham. The tutorial walks through the basic setup: Labeling the interfaces, configuring DHCP, creating a VPN: Now that we have our OpenVPN connection set up, we'll double check that we've got our interfaces assigned With any luck (after we've assigned our OPENVPN connection correctly, you should now see your new Virtual Interface on the pfSense Dashboard We're charging full steam towards the sections that start to lose people. Don't be disheartened if you've had a few issues up to now, there is no “right” way to set up a VPN installation, and it may be that you have to tweak a few things and dive into a few man-pages before you're set up. NAT is tricky, and frankly it only exists because we stretched out IPv4 for much longer than we should have. That being said it's a necessary evil in this day and age, so let's set up our connection to work with it. We need NAT here because we're going to masque our machines on the LAN interface to show as coming from the OpenVPN client IP address, to the OpenVPN server. Head over to Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound. The first thing we need to do in this section, is to change the Outbound NAT Mode to something we can work with, in this case “Hybrid.” Configure the LAN interface to be NAT'd to the OpenVPN address, and the INSECURE interface to use your regular ISP connection Configure the firewall to allow traffic from the LAN network to reach the INSECURE network Then add a second rule allowing traffic from the LAN network to any address, and set the gateway the the OPENVPN connection And there you have it, traffic from the LAN is routed via the VPN, and traffic from the INSECURE network uses the naked internet connection *** Switching to OpenBSD (https://mndrix.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/switching-to-openbsd.html) After 12 years, I switched from macOS to OpenBSD. It's clean, focused, stable, consistent and lets me get my work done without any hassle. When I first became interested in computers, I thought operating systems were fascinating. For years I would reinstall an operating system every other weekend just to try a different configuration: MS-DOS 3.3, Windows 3.0, Linux 1.0 (countless hours recompiling kernels). In high school, I settled down and ran OS/2 for 5 years until I graduated college. I switched to Linux after college and used it exclusively for 5 years. I got tired of configuring Linux, so I switched to OS X for the next 12 years, where things just worked. But Snow Leopard was 7 years ago. These days, OS X is like running a denial of service attack against myself. macOS has a dozen apps I don't use but can't remove. Updating them requires a restart. Frequent updates to the browser require a restart. A minor XCode update requires me to download a 4.3 GB file. My monitors frequently turn off and require a restart to fix. A system's availability is a function (http://techthoughts.typepad.com/managing_computers/2007/11/availability-mt.html) of mean time between failure and mean time to repair. For macOS, both numbers are heading in the wrong direction for me. I don't hold any hard feelings about it, but it's time for me to get off this OS and back to productive work. I found OpenBSD very refreshing, so I created a bootable thumb drive and within an hour had it up and running on a two-year old laptop. I've been using it for my daily work for the past two weeks and it's been great. Simple, boring and productive. Just the way I like it. The documentation is fantastic. I've been using Unix for years and have learned quite a bit just by reading their man pages. OS releases come like clockwork every 6 months and are supported for 12. Security and other updates seem relatively rare between releases (roughly one small patch per week during 6.0). With syspatch in 6.1, installing them should be really easy too. ZFS Storage Pool Checkpoint Project (https://sdimitro.github.io/post/zpool-checkpoint) During the OpenZFS summit last year (2016), Dan Kimmel and I quickly hacked together the zpool checkpoint command in ZFS, which allows reverting an entire pool to a previous state. Since it was just for a hackathon, our design was bare bones and our implementation far from complete. Around a month later, we had a new and almost complete design within Delphix and I was able to start the implementation on my own. I completed the implementation last month, and we're now running regression tests, so I decided to write this blog post explaining what a storage pool checkpoint is, why we need it within Delphix, and how to use it. The Delphix product is basically a VM running DelphixOS (a derivative of illumos) with our application stack on top of it. During an upgrade, the VM reboots into the new OS bits and then runs some scripts that update the environment (directories, snapshots, open connections, etc.) for the new version of our app stack. Software being software, failures can happen at different points during the upgrade process. When an upgrade script that makes changes to ZFS fails, we have a corresponding rollback script that attempts to bring ZFS and our app stack back to their previous state. This is very tricky as we need to undo every single modification applied to ZFS (including dataset creation and renaming, or enabling new zpool features). The idea of Storage Pool Checkpoint (aka zpool checkpoint) deals with exactly that. It can be thought of as a “pool-wide snapshot” (or a variation of extreme rewind that doesn't corrupt your data). It remembers the entire state of the pool at the point that it was taken and the user can revert back to it later or discard it. Its generic use case is an administrator that is about to perform a set of destructive actions to ZFS as part of a critical procedure. She takes a checkpoint of the pool before performing the actions, then rewinds back to it if one of them fails or puts the pool into an unexpected state. Otherwise, she discards it. With the assumption that no one else is making modifications to ZFS, she basically wraps all these actions into a “high-level transaction”. I definitely see value in this for the appliance use case Some usage examples follow, along with some caveats. One of the restrictions is that you cannot attach, detach, or remove a device while a checkpoint exists. However, the zpool add operation is still possible, however if you roll back to the checkpoint, the device will no longer be part of the pool. Rather than a shortcoming, this seems like a nice feature, a way to help users avoid the most common foot shooting (which I witnessed in person at Linux Fest), adding a new log or cache device, but missing a keyword and adding it is a storage vdev rather than a aux vdev. This operation could simply be undone if a checkpoint where taken before the device was added. *** News Roundup Review of TrueOS (https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20170501#trueos) TrueOS, which was formerly named PC-BSD, is a FreeBSD-based operating system. TrueOS is a rolling release platform which is based on FreeBSD's "CURRENT" branch, providing TrueOS with the latest drivers and features from FreeBSD. Apart from the name change, TrueOS has deviated from the old PC-BSD project in a number of ways. The system installer is now more streamlined (and I will touch on that later) and TrueOS is a rolling release platform while PC-BSD defaulted to point releases. Another change is PC-BSD used to allow the user to customize which software was installed at boot time, including the desktop environment. The TrueOS project now selects a minimal amount of software for the user and defaults to using the Lumina desktop environment. From the conclusions: What I took away from my time with TrueOS is that the project is different in a lot of ways from PC-BSD. Much more than just the name has changed. The system is now more focused on cutting edge software and features in FreeBSD's development branch. The install process has been streamlined and the user begins with a set of default software rather than selecting desired packages during the initial setup. The configuration tools, particularly the Control Panel and AppCafe, have changed a lot in the past year. The designs have a more flat, minimal look. It used to be that PC-BSD did not have a default desktop exactly, but there tended to be a focus on KDE. With TrueOS the project's in-house desktop, Lumina, serves as the default environment and I think it holds up fairly well. In all, I think TrueOS offers a convenient way to experiment with new FreeBSD technologies and ZFS. I also think people who want to run FreeBSD on a desktop computer may want to look at TrueOS as it sets up a graphical environment automatically. However, people who want a stable desktop platform with lots of applications available out of the box may not find what they want with this project. A simple guide to install Ubuntu on FreeBSD with byhve (https://www.davd.eu/install-ubuntu-on-freebsd-with-bhyve/) David Prandzioch writes in his blog: For some reasons I needed a Linux installation on my NAS. bhyve is a lightweight virtualization solution for FreeBSD that makes that easy and efficient. However, the CLI of bhyve is somewhat bulky and bare making it hard to use, especially for the first time. This is what vm-bhyve solves - it provides a simple CLI for working with virtual machines.

The article then walks through his impressions of performing a fresh install of 5.8, and then getting up and running in X. He mentions that you may want to check the installation defaults, since on his 8GB VM disk, it didn't leave enough room for packages on the /usr partition. It also includes a nice heads-up for new users about using the pkg_add command, and where / how you can set the initial repository mirror address. The “doas” command was also praised:“I found I very much appreciated the doas command, its documentation and configuration file. The doas configuration file is much easier to read than sudo's and the available options are well explained. The doas command allowed me to assign root access to a user given the proper password and doas worked as advertised.” A glowing summary as well:“OpenBSD may be very secure, but I think what sets the operating system apart are its documentation and clean system design. It is so easy to find things and understand the configuration of an OpenBSD system. The file system is organized in a clean and orderly manner. It always takes me a while to get accustomed to using OpenBSD, as for me it is a rare occurrence, but once I get settled in I like how straight forward everything is. I can usually find and configure anything on the system without referring to external documents or searching for answers on-line and that is quite an accomplishment for an operating system where virtually everything is done from the command line. “ *** OpenBSD Hackathon Reports Alexander Bluhm: multiprocessor networking (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20151212192918) “The next step, we are currently working on, is to remove the big kernel lock from forwarding and routing. mpi@ has been doing this for a long time, but some corner cases were still left. I have written a regression test for handling ARP packets to show that all cases including proxy ARP are still working. Another thing that may happen with lock-free routing is that the interface is destroyed on one CPU while another CPU is working with a route to that interface. We finally got this resolved. The code that destroys the interface has to wait until all routes don't use this interface anymore. I moved the sleep before the destruction of the interface is started, so that the routes can always operate on a completely valid interface structure.” Vincent Gross: ifa_ifwithaddr() (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20151215150708) Vincent worked on the function that finds the interface with the specified address, which is used to tell if the machine is the intended recipient of an incoming packet. A number of corner cases existed with broadcast addresses, especially if two interfaces were in the same subnet.

Little did I know that it would quickly turn into n2k15, a network hackathon with 20 attendees from all over the world” “If you ever hosted such an event or a party for many guests, you will know the dilemma of the host: you're constantly concerned about your guests enjoying it, you have to take care about many trivial things, other things will break, and you get little to no time to attend or even enjoy it yourself. Fortunately, I had very experienced and welcomed guests: only one vintage table and a vase broke – the table can be fixed – and I even found some time for hacking myself.” Martin Pieuchot: MP networking (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20151218175010) “ We found two kind of MP bugs! There are MP bugs that you fix without even understanding them, and there are MP bugs that you understand but can't fix” Stefan Sperling: initial 802.11n support (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20151219160501) *** Hacking the PS4 (https://cturt.github.io/ps4.html) As a followup to the story last week about the PS4 being “jailbroken”, we have a link to further information about how far this project has come along This article also provides some great background information about whats running under the hood of your PS4, including FreeBSD 9, Mono VM and WebKit, with WebKit being the primary point of entry to jailbreak the box. One particular point of interest, was the revelation that early firmware versions did not include ASLR, but it appears ASLR was added sometime around firmware 1.70. (Wonder if they used HardenedBSD's implementation), and how they can bypass it entirely. “Luckily for us, we aren't limited to just writing static ROP chains. We can use JavaScript to read the modules table, which will tell us the base addresses of all loaded modules. Using these bases, we can then calculate the addresses of all our gadgets before we trigger ROP execution, bypassing ASLR.“ The article also mentions that they can prove that jails are used in some fashion, and provides examples of how they can browse the file system and dump a module list. The kernel exploit in question is SA-15:21 (https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-15:21.amd64.asc) from August of this year. The jailbreaking appears to be against an older version of PS4 firmware that did not include this patch *** Nokia and ARM leading the charge to implement better TCP/IP as part of the 5G standard (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/14/nokia_and_arm_bid_reinvent_tcpip_stack_5g/?page=1) “Many believe that a critical success factor for 5G will be a fully revamped TCP/IP stack, optimized for the massively varied use cases of the next mobile generation, for cloud services, and for virtualization and software-defined networking (SDN). This is the goal of the new OpenFastPath (OFP) Foundation, founded by Nokia Networks, ARM and industrial IT services player Enea. This aims to create an open source TCP/IP stack which can accelerate the move towards SDN in carrier and enterprise networks. Other sign-ups include AMD, Cavium, Freescale, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the ARM-associated open source initiative, Linaro.” “The new fast-path TCP/IP stack will be based on the open source FreeBSD operating system” The general idea is to have a fast, open source, user space networking stack, based on the FreeBSD stack with an “optimised callback-based zero-copy socket API” to keep packet processing in user-space as far as possible It will be interesting to see a little bit more FreeBSD getting into every mobile and cloud based device. *** Interview - Trent Thompson - trentnthompson@gmail.com (trentnthompson@gmail.com) / @pr1ntf (https://twitter.com/pr1ntf) iohyve (https://github.com/pr1ntf/iohyve) *** News Roundup First cut of the FreeBSD modularized TCP stack (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=292309) FreeBSD now has more than one TCP stack, and better yet, you can use more than one at once Each socket pcb is associated with a stack, and it is possible to select a non-default stack with a socket option, so you can make a specific application use an experimental stack, while still defaulting to the known-good stack This should lead to a lot of interesting development and testing, without the level of risk usually associated with modifying the TCP stack The first new module available is ‘fastpath', which may relate to the Nokia story earlier in the show There are also plans to support changing TCP stacks after establish a session, which might land as early as January *** Faces of FreeBSD : Erin Clark (http://freebsdfoundation.blogspot.com/2015/12/faces-of-freebsd-2015-erin-clark.html) In this edition of “Faces of FreeBSD” the FreeBSD foundation gives us an introduction to Erin Clark, of our very own iXsystems! Her journey to the BSD family may sound similar to a lot of ours. She first began using Linux / Slackware in the early 2000's, but in 2009 a friend introduced her to FreeBSD and the rest, as they say, is history. “I use FreeBSD because it is very solid and secure and has a great selection of open source software that can be used with it from the ports collection. I have always appreciated FreeBSD's networking stack because it makes a great router or network appliance. FreeBSD's use of the ZFS file system is also very nice - ZFS snapshots definitely saved me a few times. I also like that FreeBSD is very well documented; almost everything you need to know about working with FreeBSD can be found in the FreeBSD Handbook.” Originally a sys admin at iXsystems, where she helped managed PC-BSD desktops among others, now she works on the FreeNAS project as a developer for the CLI interface functionality. *** New Olimex board runs Unix (https://olimex.wordpress.com/2015/12/16/new-product-in-stock-pic32-retrobsd-open-source-hardware-board-running-unix-like-retrobsd-os/) Looking for some small / embedded gear to mess around with? The Olimex folks have a new Pic32 system now available which runs “RetroBSD” “The current target is Microchip PIC32 microcontroller with 128 kbytes of RAM and 512 kbytes of Flash. PIC32 processor has MIPS M4K architecture, executable data memory and flexible RAM partitioning between user and kernel modes.” RetroBSD isn't something we've covered extensively here on BSDNow, so to bring you up to speed, it is a port of 2.11 BSD Their website lists the following features of this 2.11 refresh:“ Small resource requirements. RetroBSD needs only 128 kbytes of RAM to be up and running user applications. Memory protection. Kernel memory is fully protected from user application using hardware mechanisms. Open functionality. Usually, user application is fixed in Flash memory - but in case of RetroBSD, any number of applications could be placed into SD card, and run as required. Real multitasking. Standard POSIX API is implemented (fork, exec, wait4 etc). Development system on-board. It is possible to have C compiler in the system, and to recompile the user application (or the whole operating system) when needed.“ For those looking into BSD history, or wanting something small and exotic to play with this may fit the bill nicely. *** OpenSource.com reviews PCBSD (https://opensource.com/life/15/12/bsd-desktop-user-review-pc-bsd) Joshua over at opensource.com writes up a review of PC-BSD (10.2 we assume) Some of the highlights mentioned, include the easy to use graphical installer, but he does mention we should update the sorting of languages. (Good idea!) Along with including nice screenshots, it also covers the availability of various DE's / WM's, and talks a fair amount about the AppCafe and Control Panel utilities. “Thanks to being featured on PC-BSD's desktop, the PC-BSD Handbook is easily located by even the most novice user. There is no need to search through the system's installed applications for a manual, or relying solely on the help documentation for individual components. While not comprehensive, PC-BSD's handbook does a good job as striking a balance between concise and thorough. It contains enough information to help and provides detailed instructions for the topics it covers, but it avoids providing so much information that it overwhelms” *** BeastieBits Gandi introduces support for FreeBSD on their IaaS platform, with both ZFS and UFS based images available (https://www.gandi.net/news/en/2015-12-23/6473-introducing_freebsd_and_trimming_down_the_official_image_list/) Funny commit message from the Linux kernel (http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f076ef44a44d02ed91543f820c14c2c7dff53716) FreeBSD Journal, Nov/Dec 2015 (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/journal/vol2_no6) Feedback/Questions Zafer - NetBSD on DO (http://slexy.org/view/s2MPhvSFja) Richard - FreeNAS Replication (http://slexy.org/view/s2hhJktjRu) Winston - Android ADP (http://slexy.org/view/s2VK83ILlK) Alex - Multiple Domains (http://slexy.org/view/s20UVY8Bs5) Randy - Getting Involved (http://slexy.org/view/s20Cb076tu) Craig - zprezto (http://slexy.org/view/s2HNQ2aB42) ***
