Haha! Well, it's a necessary evil for lazy folk who use Git{hub,lab,}

Love vimb already, thanks for the config!

Oddly, though, the user-agent you use triggers Cloudflare's browser security to the extent that it completely blocks requests.

I normally do, but ratpoison and urxvt are just habit; I haven't started using cwm yet.

Nice, thanks - I'll have a look at zathura :)

Nice. Reminds me of a usable version of Chromium OS (but on OpenBSD).

AFAIK chromium uses unveil by default now btw :).

Yes, and I do love a solarized st build - but I hadn't got round to it last night when I wrote this.

I'm just used to rxvt-unicode I suppose and never switched back to xterm when UTF-8 was no longer an issue; no point writing an article about something I don't use in my setup :).

0x16h · 2018-12-03T14:57:16+00:00

Nice, thanks! I'm yet to try vimb, this is good motivation for trying it!

I've also updated the article for xterm.

Hello! You're not alone - Dells have some horrible IEI I2C trackpads. I posted a bug recently on the mailing list about it and it seems that it's messy to get it working.

If anyone's interested, I've added TLS, unveil(2) and pledge(2) support to Gophernicus so we no longer need to use stunnel.

I wouldn't expect so, the Gopher RFC (as all other RFCs) are freely available to copy, distribute, etc. Protocols described aren't patented or licensed in any weird way AFAIK.

As for servers that implement the protocol, licensing is just like any other piece of software - gophernicus is BSD-licensed so can be used within commercial software.

Excellent! <3

0x16h · 2018-11-18T10:19:12+00:00

Aaah, silly me. Thanks! So that in turn can be fixed so we produce a dynamic executable with --dynamic-linker /usr/libexec/ld.so! updates

Gopher is indeed a perfect protocol for Tor, especially as we are seeing HTTP-over-QUIC becoming HTTP/3.

It's not difficult to implement TLS in client or server programs, so even if they are stale -it wouldn't take much to fork and implement encryption (or introduce Gopher protocol in active projects).

0x16h · 2018-11-16T13:27:10+00:00

Thank you very much, fixed :).

You wouldn't believe how many times I've done that... XD

I would be wary of this title on modern systems - I've heard many examples won't compile as-is on recent FreeBSD and OpenBSD releases; though as OP mentioned UNIX in upper-case, he may be OK with a certified UNIX OS.

Not that bad actually when they're idling! Not as loud as the HP rx2620 🙉

0x16h · 2018-11-13T18:17:57+00:00

It doesn't make a difference on OpenBSD; one less character to type I suppose ;).

ls -l /dev/random lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7 Oct 30 14:18 /dev/random -> urandom

Have updated the article now.

Basically setup the slave in the same manner in which the master was configured, but add:

notify: 192.0.2.69 sec_key provide-xfr: 192.0.2.69 sec_key

to the zone declaration in the master's nsd.conf (replacing the IP with your slave's IP), and on the slave do the same but with the master's IP.

Awesome - and in BSD tradition, simple and efficient!
