Scratching My Needs

While browsing on /usr/src/usr.bin to kill some time, found "yes". The manpage was simple:

NAME
    yes — be repetitively affirmative

SYNOPSIS
    yes [expletive]

DESCRIPTION
    yes outputs expletive, or, by default, “y”, forever.

So, it repeats "y" forever. A quick try rev up my processor to the max and

PF has always been my "only" choice of firewall when I'm on OpenBSD or FreeBSD. My PF kungfu is just enough to use it as a host firewall though. Recently I needed to level up my PF skill in order to use it on one of my hobby project. This book came in the right time.

Since I'm using OpenBSD, the excellent manual & FAQ at www.openbsd.org would have what I needed. But the commercial offering (of this book) illustrated PF differently and with much more working examples. This means my homework is already done mostly, leaving me to read and "realized" the knowledge. :)

This is a short summary on what I found interesting while reading this book:

This post is so disqualify as weekly post. Apparently I'm busy with real world but in fact, I need to build up this habit to sit down and organize what I've read and post it up here.

Anyway, here's the archive of links & reads for what's worth:

Last seen on fortnight ago and still lacking reading time. Here's two weeks of what's worth:

Finally get the chance to put in these links. "Busy" is the usual excuse, lack of discipline is the real cause :p

So much for nonsense, here's the link accumulated for the passed weeks (if not months):

For the past 2 weeks, meat space have been a busy but very interesting one. Much to my realized the world without BSD are wild & unstable, but yet surprisingly interesting. I wouldn't recommend anyone with less sanity to spare but if you must have a dangerous adventure, try linux kvm on a (mere) load average of 38 with dual six core processor. All process curse & swear.

Worse, even after so many iterations of versions, the BSOD stalks me forever. Why must they keep pushing me to BSDs? Daemons, I miss you so much.

Enough bitching, readings for the past 2 weeks have been low and I'm combining week 25 & 26. Nonetheless, my time was well spent on these links. Here's what's worth:

This blog hasn't been updated as ofter as it should. That doesn't mean I'm abandoning. I'm still lurking on the internet, poking my nose around here and there.

I routinely read Justin's Dragonfly BSD Digest and particularly fond of "Lazy Reading" weekly post. He'll talk about the list of interesting stuff he finds on the internet and share it with the readers. I'm copying his idea to fuel my updating of this blog.

For what's worth, here it goes:
