On Unix and gaming and SIGINFO


I used #Linux a bit in the days when Slackware was recent, then a friend of mine suggested #FreeBSD (4.7 at the time) and it was love at first sight. After that day, I used FreeBSD on all the servers I am the admin of, and also on my office desktop PC. Still very happy about my choice.

At home, on the other hand, I always needed to keep Windows to cater my gaming habit (no, I don't like dual booting at all, as I often game for a short time while keeping tens of other programs open and ready to use afterwards). Resorting to CygWin to have Unix tools, which I later substituted with WSL 1 (WSL 2 doesn't properly support IPv6 and also it occupies Hyper-V and thus forces VirtualBox in "turtle mode", so it is a no go for me), happily enough for a couple of decades.

Enter Steam creating Proton (out of Wine), making gaming on Linux a common and accessible thing almost overnight (of course it was possible for a long time already, but mostly retro-gaming and via emulators).
So, as an experiment, in the desktop PC I keep at my significant other's home I decided to try and avoid Windows… I tried FreeBSD for a couple of days, but running Proton on my nVidia 1070 card was very difficult (if at all possilble, I wonder) so, contrary to my convictions, I tried Arch Linux (mainly because it is the one Steam Deck is based on, and the fact that AUR is very similar to the FreeBSD Ports I love and use daily) and… even if #ZFS (I filesystem I cannot do without, ever) is not officially supported and using it via DKMS is a bit of an hack, that only took me 2 hours to conquer and from there it was all much smooth and easier that I dared dream. In only a couple more hours I had everything working at first try, all "by default" and with no need for extra configuration, including things like: nVidia with 3D and CUDA support, USB webcam, Wi-Fi printer/scanner, Bluetooth USB dongle.

I am impressed. 2024 might really be the "Linux on desktop year" as some say, for sure it was for me (at least in this PC, I'm still not migrating the existing Windows setup for now — but someday I will).

Now, ironically, the thing I feel absence mostly is control-T support in the terminal, which on BSD sends a SIGINFO which makes most programs print a status report on stderr. It is something that on Linux wasn't included "mostly out of laziness" as reported by Theodore Ts'o in 2014, but is still missing.

I am of course using FreeBSD on all the servers and hoping that FreeBSD will catch up on ease of use on the desktop to change to it again, but right now… I like using Linux better than Windows+WSL. ;-)

it's amazing that you "started" with modern Linux distros on Arch Linux. Did your experience with FreeBSD help in any way in that regard?
in reply to Magitian

(Sorry about late response)
I'm actually not sure… there's also the fact that I end up doing some devops on RedHat for work and had some past Ubuntu experience on Windows WSL too (I recently switched to Arch also on WSL).
I don't really like systemd, but in the end I don't hate it as much as I thought and I will not remove it from the system (I'm not even sure if that's possible); what I really like is that packages are (IMvHO) "properly updated" just like on FreeBSD, I really really dislike Debian approach "old is more secure" (which is not, IMHO, and sometimes is even spectacularly worse just because of that approach).


I had a wild weekend trip down the rabbit hole of #tlog Transparency Logs (a theme I also use at work, but the urge was too much to wait for an off-time at work), resulting in having installed a Trillian Tessera server, an OmniWitness server, and creating a PR for the latter to let them understand each other… which might be totally unuseful, as the main author of both projects seems to be the same, and he certainly doesn't need help from me to let those understand each other, but you know… I had to see it working now!

PS: well it was merged, and it was a bit of a learning experience in Go too. So yay!


Future of Mozilla (and) Firefox


Please someone in here re-assure me #Firefox has a future, as I'm really cozy with my setup and really wouldn't want to migrate again. 🤣
… but I am also more and more worried each and every time a new article about #Mozilla hits the news. 😞
(I look forward to #Servo too, but that's a partly different issue)

Just in case you need a NodeJS script to sort extended #ZSH history which doesn't break on multi-line entries:

#! /usr/bin/env node
const fs = require('fs');
const lines = fs.readFileSync(process.argv[2], 'utf8').split(/(?<=[^\\])\n/);
lines.sort((a, b) => a.split(/:/)[1] - b.split(/:/)[1]);
fs.writeFileSync(process.argv[2], lines.join('\n'), 'utf8');
#ZSH


A short history about keeping your #ssh daemons up-to-date by checking their banners, unexpectedly short debugs, happenstance, #hpn, and #RFC definitions.

#golang Fediverse please help a Go-noob: is it possible to get the `git describe` string from a `go install github.com…@latest` type installation?
In order to use for `--version` output, that in various projects report no version when installed that way.

E.g.:

% go install github.com/walles/moar@latest
% moar --version
Should be set when building, please use build.sh to build


ASN1js tree mode


Public request for comments: #ASN1js has historically been like this, I have received a very nice PR on Github to make it more like the usual tree view with ⊕, it can be tested here.
I like that, but it's a huge change to the website historical look&feel #UX.
What do you think about it?
Better? Worse? Can be further improved?

in reply to Lapo Luchini

nice ! Can you re-encode ASN.1 structures based on text descriptions ?
I did that using OpenSSL CLI and Perl github.com/wllm-rbnt/asn1templ…
in reply to Lapo Luchini

oh! I didn't know you were on Mastodon.

Thank you SO MUCH for making asn1js. It was absolutely instrumental in my recent escapades into the world of DNSSEC.

Genuinely an inspiring tool.



ASN1js now (also on) ESM


I released a 'next' version of #ASN1js on npm which drops any AMD/UMD boilerplate and only uses ES6 modules.

I'm waiting for the forthcoming #NodeJS sync require(esm) in order to release that as a default version, because it seems unreasonable to force library users to do everything async.

Any thought on that? #library #JavaScript

é un assaggio del potere della sorveglianza elettronica con cui dovremo fare i conti sempre più spesso. Ha già i connotati distopici questo dispositivo contro la pirateria, figuriamoci le soluzioni tecniche pensate proprio per il controllo della popolazione.
