PowerShell is open sourced and is available on Linux

Today, we are taking the next step in our journey. I am extremely excited to share that PowerShell is open sourced and available on Linux. (For those of you who need a refresher, PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language built on the .NET Framework to help IT professionals control and automate the administration of the Windows, and now Linux, operating systems and the applications that run on them.) I’m going to share a bit more about our journey getting here, and will tell you how Microsoft Operations Management Suite can enhance the PowerShell experience.

The Linux Foundation Releases Development Report Highlighting Contributions to the Linux Kernel Ahead of 25th Anniversary of Linux | The Linux Foundation

The report comes just days before the 25th anniversary of the initial release of the Linux kernel by Linus Torvalds on August 25, 1991, and analyzes the work done by over 13,500 developers over more than a decade, as well as more recent trends.

Security and reproducible-build progress in Guix 0.11

The GNU Guix package-manager project recently released version
0.11, bringing with it support for several hundred new packages, a
range of new tools, and some significant progress toward making an
entire operating system (OS) installable using reproducible builds.

Google to drop support for Chrome apps on Windows, Mac and Linux

Google has killed a lot of things in the past, including Google Buzz, Google Wave and Google Reader. Well Google’s grim reaper is at it again. This time, Google Chrome apps will no longer work on Windows, Mac and Linux by 2018. The company says only 1 percent of Chrome users took advantage of this feature. However, Chrome apps will still function on Chrome OS, which powers Chromebooks.

Android 7.0 Nougat review—Do more on your gigantic smartphone

Nougat brings a new multitasking split screen mode, a redesigned notification panel, an adjustable UI scale, and fresh emoji. Nougat also sports numerous under-the-hood improvements, like changes to the Android Runtime, updates to the battery saving “Doze” mode, and developer goodies like Vulkan and Java 8 support.

Like the BQ phone, the Meizu MX4 is very much a device for early adopters, since Ubuntu for Phones is still in the development phase. While the €169.90 Aquaris E4.5 is a mid-range phone, the Meizu MX4 delivers considerably more computing power for €299. It runs on a Meizu-customised octa-core MediaTek MT6595 SoC with four ARM Cortex-A17 and four ARM Cortex-A7 cores, with a PowerVR G6200 GPU to handle the graphics, all supported by 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM.

The Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition combines two different interfaces so you can use it either as a tablet or as a PC. The first module offers all the typical functions of a tablet, while the PC mode is activated automatically when you connect it to a mouse and keyboard.

This time on the show, we’ll be talking with Justin Cormack about NetBSD rump kernels. We’ll learn how to run them on other operating systems, what’s planned for the future and a lot more. As always, answers to viewer-submitted questions and all the news for the week, on BSD Now – the place to B.. SD.

Headlines

EuroBSDCon 2014 talks and tutorials

OpenBSD adopts SipHash

  • Even more DJB crypto somehow finds its way into OpenBSD’s base system
  • This time it’s SipHash, a family of pseudorandom functions that’s resistant to hash bucket flooding attacks while still providing good performance
  • After an initial import and some clever early usage, a few developers agreed that it would be better to use it in a lot more places
  • It will now be used in the filesystem, and the plan is to utilize it to protect all kernel hash functions
  • Some other places that Bernstein’s work can be found in OpenBSD include the ChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated stream cipher and Curve25519 KEX used in SSH, ChaCha20 used in the RNG, and Ed25519 keys used in signify and SSH

FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE

  • FreeBSD’s release engineering team likes to troll us by uploading new versions just a few hours after we finish recording an episode
  • The first maintenance update for the 10.x branch is out, improving upon a lot of things found in 10.0-RELEASE
  • The vt driver was merged from -CURRENT and can now be enabled with a loader.conf switch (and can even be used on a PlayStation 3)
  • Bhyve has gotten quite a lot of fixes and improvements from its initial debut in 10.0, including boot support for ZFS
  • Lots of new ARM hardware is supported now, including SMP support for most of them
  • A new kernel selection menu was added to the loader, so you can switch between newer and older kernels at boot time
  • 10.1 is the first to support UEFI booting on amd64, which also has serial console support now
  • Lots of third party software (OpenSSH, OpenSSL, Unbound..) and drivers have gotten updates to newer versions
  • It’s a worthy update from 10.0, or a good time to try the 10.x branch if you were avoiding the first .0 release, so grab an ISO or upgrade today
  • Check the detailed release notes for more information on all the changes
  • Also take a look at some of the known problems to see if you’ll be affected by any of them
  • PC-BSD was also updated accordingly with some of their own unique features and changes

arc4random – Randomization for All Occasions

  • Theo de Raadt gave an updated version of his EuroBSDCon presentation at Hackfest 2014 in Quebec
  • The presentation is mainly about OpenBSD’s arc4random function, and outlines the overall poor state of randomization in the 90s and how it has evolved in OpenBSD over time
  • It begins with some interesting history on OpenBSD and how it became a security-focused OS – in 1996, their syslogd got broken into and “suddenly we became interested in security”
  • The talk also touches on how low-level changes can shake up the software ecosystem and third party packages that everyone uses
  • There’s some funny history on the name of the function (being called arc4random despite not using RC4 anymore) and an overall status update on various platforms’ usage of it
  • Very detailed and informative presentation, and the slides can be found here
  • A great quote from the beginning: “We consider ourselves a community of (probably rather strange) people who work on software specifically for the purpose of trying to make it better. We take a “whole-system’s” approach: trying to change everything in the ecosystem that’s under our control, trying to see if we can make it better. We gain a lot of strength by being able to throw backwards compatibility out the window. So that means that we’re able to do research and the minute that we decide that something isn’t right, we’ll design an alternative for it and push it in. And if it ends up breaking everybody’s machines from the previous stage to the next stage, that’s fine because we’ll end up in a happier place.”

News Roundup

The FreeBSD foundation’s biggest donation

  • The FreeBSD foundation has a new blog post about the largest donation they’ve ever gotten
  • From the CEO of WhatsApp comes a whopping one million dollars in a single donation
  • It also has some comments from the donor about why they use BSD and why it’s important to give back
  • Because the FreeBSD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) it must show that it has support of the general public, not just a small number of large donors. That is why individual donations are so important
  • Donate even just $5, just to increase the number of names on the donors list
  • Don’t know what to get your favourite FreeBSD developer for Christmas? Donations can be dedicated to others
  • Spread the money around, donate to the foundation of each BSD you use when you can – every little bit helps: OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFly
  • You use OpenSSH don’t you? gzip (bsd licensed gzip is from NetBSD)?, newfs_msdos (making FAT(32) file systems for USB devices etc, also from NetBSD)

BSDTalk 248

  • Our friend Will Backman is still busy getting BSD interviews as well
  • This time he sits down with Matthew Dillon, the lead developer of DragonFly BSD
  • We’ve never had Dillon on the show, so you’ll definitely want to give this one a listen
  • They mainly discuss all the big changes coming in DragonFly’s upcoming 4.0 release
