From servers in a data center to desktop computers, many devices communicating on a network will eventually have to filter traffic, whether for security or performance reasons. Bpfilter is a project that allows packet filtering to be done with BPF, which can be faster than other mechanisms. Even small performance improvements in this area can lead to significant gains.

Windows was crashing every few days (while unattended) with the error "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error is caused because the system stopped responding and the hardware watchdog triggered a system reset." even after a full restore.

Just released: #swad 0.7! 😎

Swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon". If you're looking for a solution to add cookie/form #authentication to your #nginx reverse proxy, or maybe even a #lightweight alternative to #Anubis which leaves the actual proxying to nginx, this might be for you! It is designed for use with nginx' auth_request, written in pure C, with minimal dependencies (zlib and, depending on build options, openssl/libressl and/or libpam), and compiles to a small binary (currently between 150kiB and less than 300kiB depending on compiler and target platform).

Swad should work on many #posix (and almost) systems. It's actually tested on #FreeBSD (in "production" use, but on a very low-traffic private site), and quick functionality tests also done on #Debian (#Linux) and #OpenIndiana (#Illumos, open-source #Solaris descendant).

As announced, this release doesn't bring any new features (in terms of WHAT it can do), but great improvements "under the hood", that should help performance at least on some platforms, see release notes for swad 0.7.

Quick tip: You can use the last argument of the previous command at the CLi. The syntax is:
command1 !$

For example, make a new dir:
mkdir foo_dir1

Then:
cd !$

which becomes cd foo_dir1, thus saving you typing time. Give it a try.

You can quickly toggle between your two most recent directories with ‘cd -‘:

If you find yourself frequently jumping back and forth between two directories, stop typing out long paths repeatedly! Simply use the command:
cd -

This command will take you to the directory you were in just before your current one. Executing it again will take you back. It saves me a lot of typing and time so give it a try 😌

The problem I have with the actual #LINUX audio stack (ALSA) is when certain hardware configurations decide to take "card 0" on bootup even if there is no output jack on the device. This means I will have to edit $prefix/share/alsa/alsa.conf and replace e.g. s/card 0/card 1/

OH and Lord have mercy if you didn't create a group called audio, or else nothing that uses alsalib will work.

This is hardly criminal behavior FWIW, just lacking quality controls.

Realize the following; **you** are in control of the fun you have when you are computing.

The only way you can guarantee that is by running an Open Source Operating System on that device.

If you happen to be in a closed Source operating system with an open source kernel {Android} there are ways to dechain yourself fully

They will probably be hard or painful but they are worth the effort.

If it seems to be too hard, plan your next device to be one that is designed to run with an open source operating system especially if you are going to buy your next Android.

First check if your device is supported by an open source operating system, fully supported!, then you buy it.

Make sure that the grip of the closed Source operating system underlords on you is released Free yourself

Nice feature indeed.

I use linux-cpupower with a “Governer” variable in crontab. From there I call the script like:

./powermanager.sh powersave

on working hours
./powermanager.sh performance

I make use of #autocpufreq

I even shut down VM's when not needed and start again with the ha-manager in Crontab like:

# Stop Gotify VM 2015
30 9 * * * /usr/sbin/ha-manager set 2015 --state disabled && /usr/sbin/pct shutdown 2015

and when needed again:
# Start Gotify VM 2015

The next release of #swad will probably bring not a single new feature, but focus on improvements, especially regarding #performance. Support for using #kqueue (#FreeBSD et al) to handle #signals is a part of it (which is done and works). Still unsure whether I'll also add support for #Linux' #signalfd. Using kqueue also as a better backend for #timers is on the list.

Another hopefully quite relevant change is here:

https://github.com/Zirias/poser/commit/798f23547295f89fa0c751f0e707c3474b5c689c

In short, so far my #poser lib was always awaiting readiness notification (from kqueue, or #epoll on Linux, or select/poll for other platforms) before doing any read or write on a socket. This is the ideal approach for reads, because in the common case, a socket is NOT ready for reading ... our kernel must have received something from the remote end first. But for writes, it's not so ideal. The common case is that a socket IS ready to write (because there's space left in the kernel's send buffers). So, just try it, and only register for notifications if it ever fails, makes more sense. Avoids pointless waiting and pointless events, and e.g. with epoll, even unnecessary syscalls. 😉

Three days later, mostly done.. no. Everything else got in the way, hastily cabled basic bare minimum in-place. Maybe I'll finish it up on Saturday.

Howdy #everyone!

Time for an #introduction. I'm Pete, a #neurodivergent and #actuallyautistic #humanbeing who is enthusiastic about #technology especially #linux and #unix systems.

I've been on #Mastodon for a few years now and really enjoy it. After having many positive interactions with folks from the BSD Cafe, I recently joined this instance for tech-specific posts.

My "main" account on mastodon.social is for human rights, social issues, and politics.

I look forward to engaging discussions with you all!

@stefano openSUSE has come a long way. My first experience with it was SUSE Linux Professional 9.3 back in 2005. Desktop Linux was still in its early stages then and it did alright. A little buggy in some places but otherwise OK. I used its enterprise variants over the years, rather enjoyably.

I used it again briefly on another build in 2013. Just after restoring my data into a freshly installed system, the OS locked up *hard*. After the reboot, everything and I mean *everything* I had just restored to /home/pete was gone. Including the rest of my profile. The directory was empty. I went back to Debian as a daily driver and didn't touch openSUSE for almost a decade.

I decided to try both Tumbleweed and Leap 15 on a spare laptop. Yes, both are stable and have improved over the years. I prefer Leap over Tumbleweed. Unfortunately, due to that one data loss experience I am skeptical of using it (as a daily driver). I hope you have a much better experience with it.
