OCSP has nothing to do with ATT, it is a security feature that is supposed to help verify the authenticity of certificates. From what I've read on tech news sites, it has fallen out of favor precisely due to issues like this (Chrome has deactivated it, for example). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Certificate_Status_Protocol; also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Public_Key_Pinning for one (the?) replacement.

[gentoo-user] unable to compile kdelibs in arm chroot
Hi List, For the last few weeks i was playing around with my newly acquired raspberry pi 2. While it was pretty easy to setup a working gentoo stage3 system i failed installing anything below the basic packages. Generally my idea was building the arm packages on any system and provide them as binary packages for other raspberry pi's (yeah, i already bought my second rpi :D) At first, my idea was to build all the packages directly on the rpi. (with /var/tmp /usr/portage on a external harddisk). However, the compile times are worse than i expected so i abandoned the idea. Next i've played around with crossdev. It sort of worked, but i never could finish compiling xorg-server. (or basic system packages) Even though i've started over and over with different settings, there were always packages which failed to compile thus doesn't let me finish xorg-server. I might look into it some other day but now i just wanted something working. Now i'm playing with using qemu-arm [1][2] in order to compile the packages inside a chroot. This is - so far - the most promising method building packages, even though the compile times are worse than with crossdev, but still better than directly on the rpi. So far i finally could compile xorg-server and also updated the whole system, which, at this point, wasn't much anyway. My next goal was kde. I've compiled about half of all packages which are required for kdebase-meta, but now i'm stuck at kdelibs and i have no idea what's wrong. The problem: The problem is, the compile doesn't fail - it just hangs/stops. At some point (which seems to be random - it can stop anywhere between 1% and 100% of the compile) the compile stops and does nothing. I've waited hours, but nothing happened. So far i tried lots of things, for example: * MAKEOPTS=-j1 and/or FEATURES=-sandbox * also tried without building binary packages (-buildpkg) * /var/tmp on tmpfs * using: ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base//kdelibsebuild compile * using python3.3 instead of default 2.7 * moved it on a different system and tried building it there (again with many different settings) Nothing worked, even though the build moved until 100% two times (-_-) I have no idea what the problem is. Even qtwebkit, which took way longer to compile (about 3 hours) compiled on the first try. (which should exclude temperate and/or resource problems) I also don't think it's a problem with a use flag as the build stops anywhere - i couldn't find a pattern. It seems to be completely random.

Re: [gentoo-user] RTL8192CU
Hi, I had a rtl8192ce in my laptop. Nothing but problems with Linux. Don't know why, but the signal strength always was much better when using Windows. For me, the rtl8192ce only worked when using it as a module, not hard compiled in the kernel. Second, it is important to know that this WiFi Card stopped working for me with kernels 3.17. The card was detected but it didn't show up any WiFis. I read that there were fundamental changes to the rtlwifi stack in 3.18. Eventually I decided to buy a new card and better card (Intel Centrino, I now can connect to 5GhZ networks :) ) for my laptop and I'm so happy now :) No more Realtek WiFi cards for me.

[gentoo-user] crossdev setup questions for distcc usage
Probably the first of many. I emerged crossdev on my 64-bit PC. When
I ran crossdev -t --help, it wanted an overlay, and pointed me to
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay/Local_overlay which led me to...
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/{metadata,profiles}
echo 'netbook' /usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name
echo 'masters = gentoo' /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf
chown -R portage:portage /usr/local/portage
echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}'
/etc/portage/make.conf
I now have a line...
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}
...in /etc/portage/make.conf wich leads to a few questions...
1) Given that I don't have PORTDIR_OVERLAY previously defined, can I
safely cut down that line to...
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage
2) Does this imply that one can have multiple, space-separated, overlays
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage /fu/bar /whatever/wherever
