Headlines

BSD talks at XDC 2014

• This year’s Xorg conference featured a few BSD-related talks
• Matthieu Herrb, Status of the OpenBSD graphics stack
• Matthieu’s talk details what’s been done recently in Xenocara the OpenBSD kernel for graphics (slides here)
• Jean-Sébastien Pédron, The status of the graphics stack on FreeBSD
• His presentation gives a history of major changes and outlines the current overall status of graphics in FreeBSD (slides here)
• Francois Tigeot, Porting DRM/KMS drivers to DragonFlyBSD
• Francois’ talk tells the story of how he ported some of the DRM and KMS kernel drivers to DragonFly (slides here)

FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report

• The FreeBSD project has a report of their activities between July and September of this year
• Lots of ARM work has been done, and a goal for 11.0 is tier one support for the platform
• The release includes reports from the cluster admin team, release team, ports team, core team and much more, but we’ve already covered most of the items on the show
• If you’re interested in seeing what the FreeBSD community has been up to lately, check the full report – it’s huge

Monitoring pfSense logs using ELK

• If you’re one of those people who loves the cool graphs and charts that pfSense can produce, this is the post for you
• ELK (ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana) is a group of tools that let you collect, store, search and (most importantly) visualize logs
• It works with lots of different things that output logs and can be sent to one central server for displaying
• This post shows you how to set up pfSense to do remote logging to ELK and get some pretty awesome graphs

Some updates to IPFW

• Even though PF gets a lot of attention, a lot of FreeBSD people still love IPFW
• While mostly a dormant section of the source tree, some updates were recently committed to -CURRENT
• The commit lists the user-visible changes, performance changes, ABI changes and internal changes
• It should be merged back to -STABLE after a month or so of testing, and will probably end up in 10.2-RELEASE
• Also check this blog post for some more information and fancy graphs

Interview – Hiroki Sato (佐藤広生) – hrs@freebsd.org / @hiroki_sato

BSD in Japan, technology conferences, various topics

News Roundup

pfSense on Hyper-V

• In case you didn’t know, the latest pfSense snapshots support running on Hyper-V
• Unfortunately, the current stable release is based on an old, unsupported FreeBSD 8.x base, so you have to use the snapshots for now
• The author of the post tells about his experience running pfSense and gives lots of links to read if you’re interested in doing the same
• He also praises pfSense above other Linux-based solutions for its IPv6 support and high quality code

OpenBSD as a daily driver

• A curious Reddit user posts to ask the community about using OpenBSD as an everyday desktop OS
• The overall consensus is that it works great for that, stays out of your way and is quite reliable
• Caveats would include there being no Adobe Flash support (though others consider this a blessing..) and it requiring a more hands-on approach to updating
• If you’re considering running OpenBSD as a “daily driver,” check all the comments for more information and tips

Getting PF log statistics

• The author of this post runs an OpenBSD box in front of all his VMs at his colocation, and details his experiences with firewall logs
• He usually investigates any IPs of interest with whois, nslookup, etc. – but this gets repetitive quickly, so..
• He sets out to find the best way to gather firewall log statistics
• After coming across a perl script to do this, he edited it a bit and is now a happy, lazy admin once again
• You can try out his updated PF script here

FlashRD 1.7 released

• In case anyone’s not familiar, flashrd is a tool to create OpenBSD images for embedded hardware devices, executing from a virtualized environment
• This new version is based on (the currently unreleased) OpenBSD 5.6, and automatically adapts to the number of CPUs you have for building
• It also includes fixes for 4k drives and lots of various other improvements
• If you’re interested in learning more, take a look at some of the slides and audio from the main developer on the website

We go over Amazon’s new smart phone, and discuss if they’ve missed the mark.

Then the Feds screw up the Silkroad Bitcoin sale, and T-Mobile decided some bits are more privileged than others – and why they might just fool you into liking it.

Amazon announces the Fire Phone, $199 with 2-year contract for 32GB

• A quad-core 2.2GHz SoC
• Adreno 330 GPU
• 2GB of RAM
• 802.11ac Wi-Fi
• Fire OS 3.5.0
• 13MP camera with optical image stabilization.
• A dedicated shutter button.

Fire Phone exclusively available July 25 on AT&T: $199 for 32GB, $299 for 64GB, $649 and $749 off-contract

Equipped with Firefly, its standout feature, the Fire Phone will be able to scan and identify more than 100 million items, enabling users to perform instantaneous price checks alongside a contextual database search of everything from music and street signs to the handwritten contents of notes and letters.

Firefly, when rolled into Amazon’s network of services anchored by Prime, is meant to be the linchpin of the Fire Phone. With a device that customers can take with them to every physical store and location and scan their surroundings, Amazon is adding a powerful new avenue to reroute users back to its platform and marketplace.

At closing, Amazon stock was up 2.69 percent, or 8.76 points, at $334.28 per share

List of Possible Silk Road Bitcoin Bidders Leaked by US Marshals

A list of individuals interested in the auction of the 30,000 bitcoins confiscated from the now-defunct Silk Road black marketplace has been leaked via email by the US Marshals Service (USMS), the US government agency confirmed.

In a statement to CoinDesk, Lynzey Donahue, a US Marshals spokeswoman, indicated that the emailer had intended to send all the recipients an attached informational document and to blind copy all those it intended to contact. The US Marshals service is the federal agency that has been charged with carrying out the auction of the bitcoins, originally seized by the FBI.

T-Mobile’s ‘Music Freedom’ is a great feature — and a huge problem | The Verge

T-Mobile has decided, arbitrarily, that some of the data traveling over its pipes should count against a cap, while other data should not. What’s to stop it from using data cap exemptions as a punitive measure against content providers that aren’t on good terms with T-Mobile (or its parent company Deutsche Telekom)?

Japan’s ruling party says won’t regulate bitcoin for now

Japan’s leading Liberal Democratic Party said it decided against regulating bitcoin for the time being, after the collapse of Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox prompted them to consider more scrutiny of the virtual currency.
