What to look for in Linux-based networking hardware
by Jason White 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

This isn't a well defined question at this point, but I'm asking here as there may be insight on offer. I'm currently using a Linksys WRT AC1900 as my router at home (the original version, not v2). It has OpenWRT installed, and I keep it up to date. It's fine for the moment. When 802.11ax hardware becomes more readily available, I plan to upgrade to something else. In particular, I would prefer to run an operating system that can be upgraded package by package instead of having to install an entire image, and which is more like a typical Linux distribution than OpenWRT is. Of course, it needs to offer all of the desired networking functionality. So, on the hardware and software side, what are the interesting projects to consider in this area? For the hardware, wireless and at least 4 Ethernet ports would be ideal, as well as high reliability and more RAM/CPU performance than consumer devices provide. As noted, I plan to wait for 802.11ax (unless the current hardware runs into problems meanwhile, of course).

GPG -- OpenPGP /GPGPG
by Andrew McGlashan 07 Jul '19

07 Jul '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, For those of us whom use OpenPGP/GPG keys with GNUPG implementation (perhaps everyone whom interacts with SKS servers)... there has been a very long standing technical problem that is currently causing issues. The problem, in a nutshell causes keys to significantly increase in size due to bad data being easily uploaded to the SKS servers without proper validation and consequently severely effecting performance of anything using the public keyring database. If you experience the problem, it will be due to a significant increase of the size of your public keyring file. When processing the public keyring data, the CPU gets pinned at 100% for at least one thread. What I have done is a full export of keys to ASCII armoured files and look at the larger files -- in my case the two largest were for Micah Lee and the Tor Project keys. Delete problematic keys and import fresh sane data for them. Having older backups of the Tor Project's key, I've replaced the key with one that doesn't have the extra bad payload. The former key /may/ not be easily found as the Tor website directs you to an SKS server to collect the data and it doesn't appear to be easily available directly from Tor project's own website. For Micah Lee's key, I got it from keybase.io (micahflee). https://keybase.io/micahflee There are different solutions, keybase.io is but one. In any case the SKS servers are in big trouble as they stand today. A reason for the problem popping up might be related to a simple key refresh; so that is a major problem. It's been said that even just using the keys can cause problems when you don't have any keys with bad data, but I'm not so sure about that. - -- Kind Regards AndrewM Andrew McGlashan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEAREIAB0WIQTJAoMHtC6YydLfjUOoFmvLt+/i+wUCXRrQBwAKCRCoFmvLt+/i +1XHAQCLxsmNgOlHQYjo283bR1rsA3Y+2RUubBQFiYFeaShcrwEAgOwO3jXOnwPa ibBTYDau9UtIsJt6edk7Shz4kaWUO8c= =6g3D -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

We are currently having problems where mail Andrew sends to luv-main gets blocked by localhost. # postconf -d|grep mynet mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.10.10.0/24 [::1]/128 [2a01:4f8:140:71f5::]/64 [fe80::]/64 Below are the relevant log entries. It seems that ::1 is not being accepted as an exclusion for spam checks, from the above you can see that ::1 is in mynetworks and from the attached main.cf you can see that permit_mynetworks is before other checks. Any ideas as to what the problem might be and why it only seems to affect Andrew's mail? To clarify, what happens is that outbound mail from the list server is sent to localhost and the Postfix instance on localhost is rejecting it. >From the attached master.cf you can see that localhost is excluded from SpamAssassin and ClamAV checks.

Mixed results with Linux 5.1
by Duncan Roe 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Hi all, Following Andrew's exhortations at the last main meeting, I built 5.1 and installed it on my laptop. My 3 AMD GPU bugs are all fixed! Very impressive, since I haven't had any Bugzilla email about them for months. At least, I suppose they're fixed: the symptoms don't show any more. On checking logs I saw 1 Oops (from 3 boots), and it looked similar to the ones I used to see all the time. Confidently I installed 5.1 as my default desktop system. This was a disaster. The system came up to the login prompt very quickly, without changing from the initial terminal font to a smaller one as it usually did. There was a message from INIT that "SV" was respawning too quickly. When I supplied user name and password, I just got the login prompt again. I went back to 5.0 and checked what was in debug.log (which logs everything). And there was nothing at all! No hint that 5.1 had ever started - just a 7 minute gap between the last 5.0 shutdown and 5.0 starting. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to report this - does anyone have a suggestion? Cheers ... Duncan. ======================= Have you seen this email before? Please mail me off-list if so. I originally sent this on 13th May but didn't see it come back. Cheers ... Duncan.

The Truth About Southeast Linuxfest | Ask Noah Show 80

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, This AskNoah episode from last August is well worth listening to in full; especially if you are involved in organizing events, but even if you are not. There is a lot of gold in this. And yes, it goes for about 2 and half hours, but listening to it at 1.5x speed was fine for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqB2mRKmdM4 Here's the quick /first part/ of the YT video's description: Published on Aug 9, 2018 There has been a lot of rumors lately about Southeast Linuxfest. Outside pressure has been exerted in an effort to force the leadership of SELF to do things not in the best interest of the attendees but to push a political agenda. Tonight Jeremy Sands the conference organizer comes exclusively on the Ask Noah Show to share with us the dirty laundry and how SELF is fighting back! - -- Kind Regards AndrewM Andrew McGlashan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEAREIAB0WIQTJAoMHtC6YydLfjUOoFmvLt+/i+wUCXQU6pgAKCRCoFmvLt+/i ++GVAP9/mhhJn4Dn2x41YzKpkWz6r8OgJhbTIAQhKap6vRceRQEAqwHM9g/2ELv4 ybADM5zlnzldmdb/rW9+Vcd+JFYipqM= =5DXN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
