  1. OpenBSD proves that minimalism is the best security strategy. Proactive auditing beats reactive patching every time. Most modern OS designs are too bloated to ever be truly secure. Stick to a small codebase to reduce the attack surface.

  10. Advanced Programming the #UNIX Environment

    Week 1: UNIX History

    We cover the early days at Bell Labs, USL vs BSDi, the birth of the BSDs and #Linux, and how we got from Ken Thompson playing "Space Travel" on a PDP-7 to Unix running on your phone, fridge, and TV.

  15. ⚪️ Building Custom Arch Linux Images for Desktop and Raspberry Pi

    🗨️ Sometimes you need to reinstall a system or deploy it on another computer. In such cases, it is convenient to have a prebuilt USB drive containing a distribution with all the required settings already configured.

  22. My 9/11/2001 was an odd day: though I was a college student and would get the cliche millennial "AV cart with a CRT TV and VCR showing the news in class" later in the day, I had a part-time job I went to in the morning.

    I drove to work listening to my Rio Volt, so despite being an avid radio listener at the time I missed it on the news until I got to work.

    When I came in the secretary said "did you hear a plane hit the Pentagon?" I had not. Getting any information was kind of hard because there were no TVs, only the Internet.

    And every news web site was down, so I got news via IRC, namely #unix on EFnet where people were frantically trying to contact regulars of that channel who lived in NY to see if they were okay.

    The news came out that one of the Twin Towers had been hit, then the other happened. Eventually via IRC and DCC I was able to download an MPEG and everyone at work gathered around to watch a low resolution video of the towers collapsing.

    How important was Linux?
    It caused one of the biggest UNIX projects in history, between 4 of the largest companies (at the time) to fall apart, and one to spend 18 YEARS trying to sue IBM for $5-billion dollars, all while attempting to strongarm other companies $699 per server to avoid being the next Target of a suit.

  32. Advanced Programming in the #UNIX Environment

    In this class, we use #NetBSD as our reference platform. In addition to our shared shell server, here are some ways you can install NetBSD:

    - put it on e.g., your laptop: netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-

    - use VirtualBox: stevens.netmeister.org/631/vir

    - use UTM: stevens.netmeister.org/631/utm/ (Video instructions: youtu.be/hCqfmuG5Acc )

    - use or create an AWS image: stevens.netmeister.org/615/net

    - create your own NetBSD #Linode: netmeister.org/blog/netbsd-on-
