Absolutely agree with your second point. If only marketing had gotten the memo ... Regarding your question, self driving cars have to interact with their environment. Receiving a message that indicates there is a vehicule of x,y coordinates

It depends how your unbound is configured. In my case, I have unbound running on my laptop configured as a recursive resolver; i.e: it will not query the DHCP provided DNS. In networks with captive portals, the DHCP provided DNS will have a

NAT adds latency to a number of applications (VoIP, video conferencing, gaming). Not so much in the translate IP/ports and keep some state, but in connection establishment. CG-NAT only makes this worse (not to mention it's becomin

4G, just like 3G before it will get slower over time. The spectrum is still shared, and the more devices are connected on the 4G bands, the less bandwith there is for each device. IMHO, 5G is not so much about speed as it is about latency a

Keep in mind that "FOSS development model" does not equal "bazaar-style" development. Case in point: the *BSDs follow a more cathedral-style development model. I fully agree with the author's first point ("A co

Corporate environments where "endpoint solutions" snoop through all traffic to detect malware activity. While I understand the use case, I would not support it. What I find unacceptable is, assuming the article is correct, that ET

Two sentences from the article struck me: > Linus Torvalds once famously said that there is no design behind the Linux kernel. Reminds of a talk/interview where Bryan Cantrill (of Solaris/Illumos/Joyent fame) said: "Y

You do have to care which OS it's running inside if only to know when to patch it for $vulnerability_of_the_day. It sure is convenient to consider it as a blackbox that you 'just' need to configure, but that's just pu

I'd really like it if instead of having "kernel developers add a third packet filter", said developers would sit down a bit and agree on how to manage firewalling at the userspace level. iptables feels like a tool that was de

For what it's worth, the /proc filesystem is not on all UNIX /UNIX-like OSes. I believe it originated in Linux, and FreeBSD has a procfs interface as well, although it does not have all the bells and whistles you will find in

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to answer. Some comments: > It doesn't. All this stuff is opt-in. If you don't want to use it, don't. I said I feared a package used it, because it made sense at packaging time. Let&#

On the one hand, the user facing aspect of this feature as presented in this article seems really nice. On the other hand, it's another abstraction over rather new kernel APIs. Your average user may know of NetFilter kernel component,

I'm running OpenNTPD on all my devices (laptops, servers, VMs) and as far as I can tell they are in sync. Both amongsts themselves, as well as with other devices that are running other NTP implementations. I've heard other people

Have you reported this bug upstream ?

Human readable syntax. Documentation. A complex iptables ruleset is difficult to understand, while a pf.conf almost reads like prose. Feature-wise, netfilter is richer, if only for the fact that there are more contributors. On the other han

Thanks, I will look into it. I started off with Janus too but I had some odd bugs and segfaults. Since time was short I decided to give Kurento a try and since it worked, I stuck with that. There are still some warts but it does the job so

Can you elaborate on the "using Firefox headlessly" ? I recently had to deal with WebRTC on a headless machine and managed to hack up something with some Python scripting and GStreamer. I didn't know it was possible to run Fi

Solaris within Oracle is as good as dead from the latest reports. However, Illumos is a Solaris descendant that is very much alive. It has all the good systems stuff that came out of Sun (zones, ZFS, DTrace) and is backed by Joyent (now par

I think inotify is broken. If 'broken' is too strong a word, then it's at the very least misnamed. It stands for inode notify, except there are edge cases where it doesn't actually report inode events. Consider this scen

systemd works somewhat ok for me, because I decided to stick to a very limited subset of the functionality it attempts to provide. I've also used runit (which follows the daemontools model) as a service manager and I've never ha

Mac doesn't have perf, but it has DTrace. They added it in OS X 10.5 which was released 9 years ago. Regarding the other tools you mention, keep in mind they are system tools. You cannot simply take the source of Linux netstat, compile

FWIW, OpenBSD's netcat supports creating a TLS socket. I'm not sure it will work on all Linux distributions since it depends on libtls/LibreSSL and most ship with OpenSSL.

Using programs in /bin to recover a failing system is a lost cause on Linux. Pretty much every binary in /bin in Debian (the OS I have at hand to check) links to a library of some sort. Therefore, if my /lib is hosed, I can&#

I don't have a specific recommendation, but when I see a project uses a JSON file as configuration, I wonder: "hasn't the author ever needed to include a comment in the configuration ?".

To be fair, I'm not a heavy user of either dig or drill. I use it mostly to check that my local resolver (unbound) is still responding, and that the DHCP distributed resolver isn't handing out garbage. My usage probably falls into

I recently built LibreSSL to replace OpenSSL on my laptop that runs ArchLinux. After installing, pretty much every thing works seamlessly so far. I rebuilt python because apparently the ssl module looks for RAND_egd (or something of the vei
