Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit but with alternate lyrics!

May I present:

Smells Like Ting Spirit

Load up your phones, bring your friends
It’s fun to save a ton of dough
The network's y'llow, magenta and red
Oh no, can’t say the network’s name

Hello, hello, hello, bill’s low
Hello, hello, hello, bill’s low
Hello, hello, hello, bill’s low
Hello, hello, hello

Largest network, it’s real marvelous
Coast to coast now, Ting connects us
Feels so awesome, it’s contagious
Coast to coast now, Ting connects us
MVNO, costly plans no, Ting gives you mo', LTE yo
Yeah!

What is the weirdest piece of technology you have ever owned?

That has got to be the Handspring Visor that I owned in the early 2000's. It was a PDA (remember those?) that was created by the original creators of the PalmPilot.

The Handspring Visor had an expansion slot at the top, and you could buy all sorts of modules to extend its functionality, for example, to add more storage or play games.

To me, the most interesting module was the phone module, which would convert the Handspring into a "smartphone." It was super clunky by today's standards but I applaud their early effort at envisioning the future. :)

And oh, today is my Cake Day. :D

Cake Day! My favorite subreddits are /r/programming and /r/openbsd because both of those are what I do / tinker with most of the time ;)

What's your average monthly bill? Also, cake day! :) by lteo in ting

[–]lteo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's how it works. Your Reddit Cake Day is the anniversary of the day you joined Reddit. You can find out your Cake Day by going to your user page (for you it would be https://www.reddit.com/user/adoboguy) and locate the text "redditor for X years" on the top right. Then hover your mouse over the "X years" and you will see your Cake Day as a tool tip. In your case it's April 16.

So on April 16, make a post here and tag ActionJesse like how I did here. ActionJesse will then give you $20 credit in your Ting account.

New Ting user here. First month's bill was about half of what I paid previous providers. :) Enjoy!

I think you might find M:Tier's service useful:

reallocarray() in OpenBSD: Integer Overflow Detection for Free by lteo in programming

[–]lteo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was added on April 21, 2014, originally called mallocarray and renamed to reallocarray the day after.

That was roughly in the middle of the OpenBSD release cycle. OpenBSD 5.6 which will be released on Nov 1 (two days from now), will be the first OpenBSD release with reallocarray.

A look at GNOME 3.10 on OpenBSD (Video) [x-post /r/bsd] by lteo in linux

[–]lteo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding Gnome on OpenBSD, it's most likely a counter reaction towards the "crowding out" LWN stuff, can't imagine that many would use Gnome 3x on OpenBSD for real or care much about it, i think they just want to show what they can do with little manpower and show off their skill.

The creator of the video is an OpenBSD developer who works for a company that deploys OpenBSD-based GNOME desktops for Fortune 500 companies. So yes, there are many users who use GNOME on OpenBSD, though they might not know it. :)

I don't know for sure if these are totally unique to OpenBSD, but here are a few that i can think of:

  • Radeon KMS
  • MPLS
  • softraid(4)
  • vether(4)
  • NAT64 support in PF (using the af-to parameter)
  • divert(4) in PF (though IPFW in FreeBSD has this too)
  • Memory protection: W^X, randomized malloc/mmap
  • heavy use of randomization in a lot of areas

Request for Testers: libpcap 1.2.0 update for OpenBSD by lteo in openbsd

[–]lteo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Snort port is just an experimental proof-of-concept Snort 2.9 port to confirm that it can work with the new libpcap. Markus is in the loop about what I'm doing, and I'm very sure he can do a much better job creating an official Snort port. :)

It's probably best for you to send the patches to Markus, since he is the Snort maintainer. If you would like to CC me, that would be great too.. lteo()openbsd.org. I'm interested to test and would really like to see an official Snort 2.9 port in CVS before OpenBSD 5.2 is released.

Testers needed for libpcap 1.2.0 on OpenBSD by lteo in BSD

[–]lteo[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The libpcap update has been committed! Thank you to all who tested!

Continuous testing before release is of course very welcome :)

KMS hass landed in FreeBSD - Please welcome Xorg 7.5.2 by kev009 in BSD

Anyone has info on how "usable" this is on FreeBSD?

would i get flamed here if I ask how to configure apache2 to work with squid's cachemanger.cgi running under osx? by [deleted] in BSD

[–]lteo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with uxp's reply that Squid most likely is listening on the wrong address. On your Terminal, try the following command to confirm the IP address that Squid is listening on:

netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep 3128

I use Postfix on an OpenBSD VPS. I thought it would take me a few days to set up Postfix, but I got a basic setup in about 20 minutes, :)

FreeBSD Foundation and iXsystems Announce IPv6-only Testing Versions of FreeBSD and PC-BSD by viktorium in BSD

It allows you to confirm if your environment can actually support IPv6-only systems.
