[OT] Keyboards, a trick I found and advice requested

[Chris Bennett]

I have really bad repetitive stress problems, so I have been looking at
split mechanical keyboards. The Glove80 looks might it might be OK, but
it's very expensive. Anyone used it?


After watching various reviews, it suddenly occurred to me that I
already have a keyboard without a number pad and one with a number pad.
I connected both and used my left hand with one and my right hand with
the one with the keypad. A little weird but I can now touch type
comfortably now with my hands spread far apart.
I posted this with the hope that someone else might find this trick as
much of a lifesaver as I did. I can finally touch type again.

I'm really not sure that I want to spend $400 on a keyboard that I can't
take for a test drive first.

Hi

cdio seems to be the right for me,
thank you for all your thoughts.

To each their own, I guess, but I don't consider this a good idea.

To me, that sounds like a lot of unneeded magic going on at the kernel
level that should be a non-root, application thing.  The few times I
want to directly see the data on a CD, I'm generally digitizing the
contents of the CD, and running an application to do that is just
fine with me.

OpenBSD provides cdio(1), which has the "cdrip" option to extract
audio tracks to .wav files.  In the base system.

bgpd group announce property not respected

[Kapetanakis Giannis]

I'm trying to set announce none property inside a group and it's not 
enforced/respected unless it's under neighbor.


conf is:

group "ibgp" {
  remote-as $myAS
  announce IPv4 none
  announce IPv6 none

  neighbor 10.0.0.1 {
 #announce IPv4 none
 #announce IPv6 none
  }
  neighbor :x:x:::2 {
 #announce IPv4 none
 #announce IPv6 none
  }
}

this gives a bgpd -n -v

group "ibgp" {
    neighbor 10.0.0.1 {
    remote-as 65001
    enforce neighbor-as no
    enforce local-as yes
    announce IPv4 unicast
    }
    neighbor :x:x:::2 {
    remote-as 65001
    enforce neighbor-as no
    enforce local-as yes
    announce IPv6 unicast
    }
}

If I remove the comments inside neighbors then announce none is respected.

Is this ok?

According to bgpd.conf(5)
"Neighbors placed within a group section inherit the properties common 
to that group"

Right now it ignores DMARC as if it doesn't exist.

Doing a DMARC lookup for domain and inserting it's results into the header
is possible and not a big deal, but it has some issues.

The first is parsing the From header. It is durable, but different MUA may
follow different logic and parser for this can be quite complicated. And
complicated means bugs.

The second is more ideological. DMARC needs something that aggregates the
results and sends out reports. It shouldn't be a filter for smtpd. But a
filter can write it's decision to log, and something should harvest it to
process and create reports that need to be sent. Anyway, forensic reports,
which should be close to real-time and include a lot of things from the
original email, is a much more complicated story.

All this brings up the question of personal data / GDPR and DMARC. I know of
a very good analysis of DMARC and GDPR in the case of German law [1], which
can be summarized as a quote:

  The reports are fundamentally permitted and justified under data
  protection law. However, the principle of proportionality is to be
  complied with at all times.

Based on this analysis, I assume that only aggregated reports can be used
without legal headaches in the EU.

But implementing only a part of DMARC seems as much worse than not
implementing it at all, and implementing it in its entirety requires a lot
of pieces in place, much more than just a filter.

Thus, DMARC was discussed on the OpenBSD mailing lists a few months ago [2].

As a conclusion, I personally use the p=none policy, because I assume that
my mail should be delivered, and To is not the final destination, it's a
kind of starting direction of the mail's way to the recipient.

does it have policy server included? for instance, when DKIM fails, the policy 
can be set up to deny the message.

Thanks.
