For those of you wondering what happened to the #PF #tutorial slides, the new home for the slides is at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/pf_fullday.pdf - as PDF for reasons only to be discussed over refreshments when we meet. New versions will be available at that location in sync with updated sessions. #openbsd #pf #packetfilter #freebsd #networking #ipv6

Something "new" to explore on the workbench today: a 1995 #Apple #Macintosh #Performa 630 in the "DOS Compatible" variant. It’s a bit of an oddball machine from Apple‘s otherwise quite bland (in my opinion) beige era. It has both a regular 68040 Mac and a full 486/DX2-66 PC inside. Should even be capable of running Windows 95 alongside MacOS 8! Thanks to a very generous donation from @markuspooch I’m going to get to play with it. Thank you! #InTheLabDoingStuff #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Closeup of the same Mac with the "DOS Compatible" logo showing. The floppy disk drive slot is also visible.

What platforms were used in the 80s up to about 1993 or 1994 for Internet servers? It can be #FTP, #Gopher, #telnet, #USENET, the #OldWeb, or anything else that was on the Internet in that era.

My research indicates Solaris was very popular for web servers until Linux took over, and so I suspect it (and SunOS before it) was very popular for the Internet in general, but I'd like to hear from anyone with this sort of experience.

This is one of the best explanations of the xz matter I have seen so far:
https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/technologist-vs-spy-the-xz-backdoor

and it leads in with a quote to remember -

"This dependency existed not because of a deliberate design decisionby the developers of OpenSSH, but because of a kludge added by some Linux distributions to integrate the tool with the operating system’s newfangled orchestration service, systemd."

Enjoy!

It is the latest fallout from Ronna #McDaniel’s ouster from the network.

I just submitted for #bsdcan.

If you too have #BSD (#OpenBSD, #FreeBSD, #NetBSD or related) material you want to present and would like to go to #Ottawa end May to start of June to do that and hang out with other BSD people, go to https://www.bsdcan.org/2024/papers.php and follow the submission instructions until Monday February 12th.

See you in Ottawa!

Sure. Among these, the app that takes up RAM should be… Twitter.

(Sometimes I do wonder if there are still lingering weird ARM-specific issues in #macOS, since I hadn’t had these dialogs on Intel in a long time, despite having half the RAM. Something in Cocoa, maybe?)
