This week on the show, we’ve got FreeBSD quarterly Status reports to discuss, OpenBSD changes to the installer, EC2 and IPv6 and more. Stay
Build ld.so with -fno-builtin because otherwise clang would optimize the local versions of functions like _dl_memset into a call to memset, which doesn’t exist.
New ocspcheck utility to validate a certificate against its ocsp responder.
A few hours ago Amazon announced that they had rolled out IPv6 support in EC2 to 15 regions — everywhere except the Beijing region, apparently. This seems as good a time as any to write about using IPv6 in EC2 on FreeBSD instances.
pkg install dual-dhclient
ifconfig_DEFAULT="SYNCDHCP accept_rtadv"
Finally, one important caveat: While EC2 is clearly the most important place to have IPv6 support, and one which many of us have been waiting a long time to get, this is not the only service where IPv6 support is important. Of particular concern to me, Application Load Balancer support for IPv6 is still missing in many regions, and Elastic Load Balancers in VPC don't support IPv6 at all — which matters to those of us who run non-HTTP services. Make sure that IPv6 support has been rolled out for all the services you need before you start migrating.
In today's episode of the Lunduke Hour I talk to George Neville-Neil -- author and FreeBSD advocate. He tries to convince me, a Linux user, that FreeBSD is better.
This is a collection of scripts meant to install desktop environments on unix-like operating systems following a base install. I call one of these 'complete' when it meets the following requirements:
I’m very excited to announce that today I’m open-sourcing a tool I’ve been working on for several months at Google. It’s called Bloaty McBloatface, and it lets you explore what’s taking up space in your .o, .a, .so, and executable binary files.
Bloaty is available under the Apache 2 license. All of the code is available on GitHub: github.com/google/bloaty. It is quick and easy to build, though it does require a somewhat recent compiler since it uses C++11 extensively. Bloaty primarily supports ELF files (Linux, BSD, etc) but there is some support for Mach-O files on OS X too. I’m interested in expanding Bloaty’s capabilities to more platforms if there is interest!
We’ve been using Bloaty a lot on the Protocol Buffers team at Google to evaluate the binary size impacts of our changes. If a change causes a size increase, where did it come from? What sections/symbols grew, and why? Bloaty has a diff mode for understanding changes in binary size
This is an attempt to bring native mdns/dns-sd to OpenBSD. Mainly cause all the other options suck and proper network browsing is a nice feature these days.
Why not Apple's mdnsd ?
Why not Avahi ?
