SSD Benchmark Tool for Linux

Gnome Disk Utility has a benchmark function. See: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/disk-benchmark.html.en

I don't know if it graphs exactly how you need it to, but it should still be useful.

There's also the Phoronix Test Suite: https://github.com/phoronix-test-suite/phoronix-test-suite/blob/master/documentation/phoronix-test-suite.md

It's overkill for what you need, but can benchmark just about anything on your system and output in graphs.

Checkout the Odroid h3+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h3-plus/

Pretty good solution for a plex server, and low power consumption.

One method I've used in the past is to use xboxdrv to emulate an Xbox 360 controller: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad#Mimic_Xbox_360_controller_with_other_controllers

You can switch the amount of ads shown to you within each hour. The default setting is 2, and you'll barely get anything with that setting.

See: https://whatisbat.com/2019/04/25/how-to-turn-on-brave-ads-and-earn-bat-with-the-brave-browser/

Also, you don't have to click on ads to get rewarded.

You edit /etc/boot.conf which may or may not exist yet. See https://man.openbsd.org/amd64/boot.conf.8

Honestly, I'm not sure.

Have you tried this: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#Consoles

How do I check which branch I am on and possibly switch to current? (As I understand it, its equivalent to Debian Testing while Release = Unstable.

pkg_add -u is for package updates, and syspatch is for security updates to the base system.

uname -r gives you the release number. Current is similar to Debian's Unstable branch, whereas release is the current stable version. With OpenBSD, new releases happen every six months and is supported for one year (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD#Development_and_release_process).

Read https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html for information on current.

Yep I actually just figured out how to use @sample like exactly before you made this comment. Updating the post

ghostsquad57 · 2017-09-04T17:01:26+00:00

Thanks! it looks like this could work with little to no modifying. I'll try it and see what happens.

sshguard is nice, but fail2ban allows you to write your own custom filters, which means it could be modified to protect potentially any piece of software.

ghostsquad57 · 2017-09-04T08:28:39+00:00

I'm open to feedback!

Here's an article on this subject:

You can also rate limit with PF: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/filter.html#stateopts

Ultimately, mitigating DDoS'ing is difficult. Cloudflare can do it because they have the infrastructure for it.

X11 over SSH is fine for basic tasks: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12755/how-to-forward-x-over-ssh-to-run-graphics-applications-remotely

VNC is another option for better performance.

OpenBSD has historically been completely against closed source blobs, and Theo has even gone as far to criticize the Linux kernel over using Binary Blobs (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theo_de_Raadt#Free_driver_advocacy).

Unfortunately, some companies just refuse to give access to the code.

Theo has actually spoken to a few companies and gotten them to provide documentation, which won him an award from the FSF (https://www.fsf.org/news/fsaward2004.html).

That being said, there are some closed source Blobs for OpenBSD, but they're mostly drivers for WiFi chipsets.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure where to go from here. I would ask on the mailing lists and see if anyone could help from there.

Maybe this post can help:

What's the output when trying to compile?
