    I have recently been reminded of the greatest Wikipedia edit in history.

    Any of my London friends around tomorrow or Sunday? I'm in town for #baseball at London Stadium, but can meet in the morning or early afternoon on both Sat and Sun.

    bsd.network has blocked the librem.one instance, because they removed all abilities for us to report abuse to them. They also removed the ability for their users to report abuse from our users, which is also pretty troublesome.

    While we normally do not announce instance blocks, this is a fairly serious action on their part and needs to be pointed out publicly.

    The safety of our users in the Fediverse is very important to us.

    Noes, the makers of the #Yotaphone went bankrupt!

    This was an amazing phone that was way ahead of its time. Two screens, the one on the "back" was a touch-screen #eInk display! On version 2, you could mirror Android to the back screen, and use it entirely from the eInk side. Or, apps could be configured to display things specially on it.

    Sadly, the hardware was buggy, and the software was intrusive to the OS, so updates were hard.

    Firefox admits they will eventually be sending all of your DNS to Cloudflare. Cloudflare will monetize your internet browsing, no matter how much their PR people say they are.

    If you want to disable that, go to "about:config", and set "network.trr.mode" to 5.

    The values are: 0 - default off, 1 - race, 2 TRR first, 3 TRR only, 4 shadow, 5 off by choice

    Good news, Everybody!

    My "#BGP for non-experts" #tutorial has been accepted to #BSDCan. As always, it is a *full day*, and intended for those that are brand new to networking and BGP.

    See you in #Ottawa!

    Biggest one is the #PinebookPro.

    14" 1080p display
    **usb-c**, with power input and video output
    #Rockchip #RK3399

    and the usual laptop features. target price, US$199! I look forward to getting #OpenBSD running well on this #arm64 system.

    Thanks to msfriedl, #OpenSSH now supports #ECDSA keys stored in PKCS#11 tokens such as #Yubico Yubikey 4. This is available in CVS/git HEAD now and will be in the OpenSSH 8.0 release.

    When I started this instance, I envisioned it as a social network :flan_guns:.

    Like the hallway track at #BSDCan :flan_book:. Or when we wander the streets at #EuroBSDCon :flan_flaneur:. And like when we hit up the bars at #AsiaBSDCon :flan_beer:.

    Chat about anything! Everything! Code is cool, but so is anything in your noggin. Good thing so many of you are already doing that :flan_pats:.

    Super cool to see a speaker try a font that was intended to be better to read his presentation.

    Theo de Raadt of #OpenBSD has two very specific recommendations for the recent #Intel CPU bugs.

    """DISABLE HYPERTHREADING ON ALL YOUR INTEL MACHINES IN THE BIOS"""

    """I'm going to spend my money at a more trustworthy vendor in the future."""

    The #RIPE77 meeting is happening Oct 15-19 in Amsterdam, and the CFP is open!

    Hi all, Admins from bsd.network here.

    After the jackassery at HOPE, and general jackassery involving lots of tech people, we're going to be adjusting our T&Cs in the near future.

    This isn't a free speech zone, and I'm not interested in hosting people who act in bad faith.

    If you do see any problems from our users, please let the admins know.

    We're back!

    In case you are wondering why we'd disable #HyperThreading on a server, check out the #OpenBSD commit message https://www.mail-archive.com/source-changes@openbsd.org/msg99141.html

    Or the article by El Reg: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/06/20/openbsd_disables_intels_hyperthreading/

    I'm Speculating(tm), but expect further news about problems in those areas...
