Re: PostgREST post in OpenBSD
Looks like Haskell code. if you are familiar with Haskell app built using cabal just give it a try. Haskell itself, i.e. posgrest should not be issue here probably. What you may hit are various possible issues in GHC's runtime. But honestly, GHC runs very nicely on OpenBSD so well, good luck and give it a try and report back...

hi i have not touched to MAC till now . the other day i got macpro(mid 2006) under $80 at auction . manjarolinux(64bit)’s grub boots openbsd . the result is 1) $ uname -ar OpenBSD mac.my.domain 6.2 GENERIC.MP#134 amd64 2) top load averages: 0.10, 0.13, 0.06 mac.my.domain 17:08:07 33 processes: 32 idle, 1 on processor up 0:11 CPU0 states: 0.6% user, 0.0% nice, 0.3% system, 0.1% interrupt, 99.1% idle CPU1 states: 0.3% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.3% idle CPU2 states: 0.1% user, 0.0% nice, 0.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.7% id CPU3 states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.1% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.8% idle Memory: Real: 23M/291M act/tot Free: 683M Cache: 194M Swap: 0K/5120M 3) the problem is that i can not reproduce tripleboot state (manjarolinux, windows10 and openbsd) . any way the previous openbsd is 6.1 . i use legacy PC and CD(install62.fs ) and install OpenBSD area .

Netbooting is inherently machine-dependent. Firmware aside, there are also at least two OpenBSD bootloader flavors: * pxeboot (amd64, i386) uses TFTP to load the kernel. * netboot (alpha) and ofwboot.net (sparc64) load the kernel from an NFS server. Looking at INSTALL.macppc, I see that macppc's ofwboot works along the lines of alpha and sparc64. If you are trying to give advice based on amd64/i386, then this will be bogus and misleading. Indeed, in this case the ofwboot is already retrieved so it's not a tftp issue. About the problem for booting on the nfs, I would try starting tcpdump on the nfs server and see what happens when the client boots.

Please see my thought above and replace "german" with "iceland"
In analogy to the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) you can
find Directive 2001/29/EC ("Copyright Directive") in the European Union.
Because Germany is part of the European Union maybe the hoster in
germany can be seen as "not DMCA free" like in your question

Not at all. Some hosting companies specific mention it. In this case a

automatic email threats from DMCA lawyers, but require a written subpoena
to do so.

Re: OpenBGPd Templates for IXP Manager
I believe IXP Manager has the pieces in place to work with non-BIRD route servers, but not having implemented an alternative, I can't be confident they're complete. However, a lot of IXP Manager is based on customizable templates, so I would be surprised if it didn't work here too. Thanks for the referral to ARouteServer. It has a lot of features and could be quite useful. It doesn't quite replace IXP Manager doing it natively, but it certainly advances me to my end goal. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP - Original Message - From: "Stuart Henderson" To: misc@openbsd.org Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2017 6:19:55 AM Subject: Re: OpenBGPd Templates for IXP Manager On 2017-10-16, Mike Hammett wrote: > Here's a quick summary for those outside of the IX community. > > OpenBGPd used to be the spine of the IX route server community.

But you probably don't want to go into that. It is not for the faint hearted. - Go buy yourself a new serial cable Cheers David
Re: macpro boot openbsd 6.2 , but ,,,
sorry correction (wrong) any way the previous openbsd is 6.1 . i use legacy PC and CD(install62.fs ) and install OpenBSD area .

What began? I was watching the display ..., scared out of one's wits . It came out on the screen with a light blue Windows flag. It is the start screen of Windows 8.1. By the way, this SSD was what I used on the main PC until this time. i thought it stopped with an error on the way . but it washed up as it was. Windows was running natively on MacPRO ! MacOSX could not be installed with my all efforts. but MacPRO run Windows 8.1 with no problem . what a sarcasm it was ! --- but this is not the case for openbsd . and https://everymac.com/mac-answers/snow-leopard-mac-os-x-faq/mac-os-x-snow-leopard-64-bit-macs-64-bit-efi-boot-in-64-bit-mode.html says that -- Intel Core 2 Duo and Xeon processors are 64-bit. However, based on reader reports received, as well as hands-on observation, it is believed that all Macs with 64-bit processors released in 2006 only have a 32-bit EFI, and consequently, only are capable of booting in 32-bit mode. This is of particular disappointment to owners of the first Mac Pro, which despite having a powerful 64-bit processor no doubt has had its "working life" cut short by a 32-bit EFI. - --- regards
Re: DMCA Free OpenBSD VPS Hosting, multiple payment methods
To the other things spoken here (which I don't quote to keep it more short). Hetzner is a German company, which is part of the EU. There are not so many OpenBSD friendly hoster outside the USA and the EU. See 1984s TERMS OF SERVICE at https://www.1984.is/tos/ The torrents and illegal topic will also maybe depend on the content of the torrents. If you share something highly illegal - every provider on this planet will give you a kick (earlier or later). > nice to know. i had seen 5.9 and 6.1 only. > > cheers. > > x9p They add the image today in the morning (European time).

Torrents are not basically illegal. So no problem with the hosters. But of course you should not host something like pirate bay in EU. And also better to stay away from the non-EU-members in europe (like swiss, monaco, moldova...)

As I wrote in a post before, that are Debian people. But on the other hand, they are open minded to provide OpenBSD .iso's.

while awaiting the 6.2 release song...
Hi, now that OpenBSD 6.2 has been out for a bit but there are still some weeks of anticipation for the 6.2 release song, and now that CD sets are no longer being made in order to avoid the overhead and instead focus on ongoing development, here is a small distraction for the time being: OpenBSD songs 3.0-6.2 potpourri with artwork and release history https://youtu.be/tuWadwmXCys Don't forget that "no more CDs" doesn't imply no more need for infrastructure, electricity, hackathons, and funding of special development projects. It's already October and http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/campaign2017.html is still a bit short of the target, so have a look at: https://www.openbsd.org/donations.html Thanks and enjoy, Ingo

That means that one is only really safe in Switzerland (where privacy laws really protects the (torrent) users) or Iceland. The EU countries, and more specifically Germany, The Netherlands and France follow a strict policy. I have no reason to assume that matters are different in the other EU countries, although there are a lot of bullet proof hosters in Romania and Bulgaria, but one really does not want to be associated with that. Bullet proof hosting is associated with criminal activities. Especially Switzerland is probably the best choice (good interconnections, low latency). Prices for VPS's are high though, and I do not know the situation with OpenBSD hosting.
Re: macpro boot openbsd 6.2 , but ,,,
Have you tried using rEFInd for dual or triple-booting? http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/index.html I use it to dual-boot macOS and OpenBSD on multiple systems. The order I follow during upgrades or installs: 1) Install or upgrade macOS first because it will overwrite rEFInd if present 2) Boot into macOS Recovery Mode and install rEFInd 3) Boot OpenBSD installation media using rEFInd and perform install or upgrade 4) Reboot and OpenBSD should be selectable in rEFInd (you can customize to make it have an icon, etc. see rEFInd docs.) That's basically it at a high level. I won't go into detail about disk partitions because that's a thoroughly documented topic.

They will only terminate your contract upon receiving a WRITTEN court order to do so. Lawyers are not cheap. A lawsuit will not be brought against each and everyone using Pop Corn Time to watch Hitman's Bodyguard, but it is really easy and cheap to write an script, collect IPs via torrent, and send DMCA takedown notices. DMCA free ignores this automatic scripts, but of course need to act upon receiving a court order. If you are Pirate Bay, ok, you should worry. If you are a John Nobody like me, that will not happen anytime soon. cheers. x9p

They will take action based on DMCA requests by the way, they already do, on behalf of the US copyright holders. Not to frighten you, but that is how it works. Been there, seen that. And yes, it has been announced they will start crackown on the smaller targets (already started). Follow the current standard operating procedures. It has been judged that Stichting Brein WILL get names based on ip addresses by court order, no further actions needed, no further courts involved. You seem to be blissfully unaware of the 'progress' in the Dutch legal system thus far. Full blocking (ip-, name and DNS based) for ISPs for TPB. If 'Stichting Brein' determines a new ip address or name, they demand a blockade, no court order needed. I would not take the chance, and I live in The Netherlands. I don't need to. But if I would build a setup, it would be with a VPS in Switzerland. Never, ever in The Netherlands. But back on topic. This has nothing to do with OpenBSD.
Re: DMCA Free OpenBSD VPS Hosting, multiple payment methods
What I would like to c is full disk encryption supported vms , you can easily do fde and encrypt the vm's disk from the providers side, noone does it (as far as I know) On October 16, 2017 3:19:25 AM GMT+02:00, x9p wrote: >Hi, > >Anyone know a good non-DMCA-compliant (outside US) VPS hosting, >OpenBSD-firendly?

An "OpenBSD friendly hoster" is one who knows you are running an OpenBSD VPS, and doesn't suggest you change iptables settings when talking about your firewall with their support team.

Re: DMCA Free OpenBSD VPS Hosting, multiple payment methods
You use OpenBSD, so why are you worried about DMCA? That is, you must care about security so you’re already using aggressive blocklists, encrypted peers only, etc etc. A well configured torrent client leaks very little info. Unless laws have changed and you don’t need any proof of wrongdoing besides lots of peer to peer bandwidth to get investigated? In that case, just ignore me. I don’t torrent anymore so I could be out of date. Actually if anyone knows more about the current status quo I’d like to hear more just out of curiosity. The discussion about the Netherlands has been tremendously interesting to me. Only asking since I’ve found other OpenBSD people do tend to be more astute and well informed than me! >> On Oct 19, 2017, at 13:12, Mike wrote: >> >> On 10/19/2017 11:36 AM, Michael Hekeler wrote: >> Am Thu, 19 Oct 2017 16:32:34 +0200 >> schrieb "Christoph R.

Ah I see ;-) I´m beginning to understand... To me the term "OpenBSD friendly hoster" was not clear because for me a "friendly hoster" is one that cares for the hardware and doesn´t care for what I run inside my container (RedHat, *BSD, Plan9, whatever)

I want to c a system that Auto encrypts it vms (can "easily" be done with some lines of python/whateverulike) and just forward all abuses to the customer, some isp's does this , however they are fucking assholes ISP that are retarded like dg-access in sweden who doesn't care about its customers , I am thinking that Switzerland would be a good way to host something in but as allways do allooot of research, try out acouple of different and c who works On October 20, 2017 7:48:42 AM GMT+02:00, Michael Hekeler wrote: >> An "OpenBSD friendly hoster" is one who knows you are running an >OpenBSD >> VPS, and doesn't suggest you change iptables settings when talking >about >> your firewall with their support team. > >Ah I see ;-) >I´m beginning to understand... >To me the term "OpenBSD friendly hoster" was not clear because for me a > >"friendly hoster" is one that cares for the hardware and doesn´t care >for what I run inside my container (RedHat, *BSD, Plan9, whatever) -- Take Care Sincerely flipchan layerprox dev
