Henning, knowing that you run an ISP of sorts what type of routers are you using?

Re: Anyone from this list at BlackHat or DefCon? And a query...
On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 12:07 AM, Amarendra Godbole [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It is generally said that the BH or DefCon wireless network is hostile, and sane individuals must not use their laptop for the risk of being compromised. My question is: if I use OpenBSD -current, with not much additional configuration (apart from the Intel wifi firmware), will the connection be reasonable secure? (Not sure if this hostility is a publicity stunt). Thanks again. I'd also recommend that you take a laptop that contains nothing you care about. Since if you do get hacked you won't lose anything of value. I believe even Defcon's website recommends you bring a freshly installed computer to save you from the hassle of losing things. Certainly make backup's before you go. :) -- # Curt Micol

Backend: MySQL or SQLite 2. webserver: apache or Lighttpd 3. development language: PHP or Java or Javascript (and XML I guess) Thanks in advance. -BG I would give PostgreSQL a look, it doesn't get as much press as MySQL, But it is VERY solid, and it is BSD licensed I've also found it much easier to maintain than MySQL. As far as language, you should look for something that looks fun to you. Language's are really all over the place, it really depends on what looks like you are going to want to develop in it. Perl is popular as it is on nearly every *nix system in the world (it is also what the pkg_* tools are written in), Ruby is popular with its Ruby on Rails web framework (there is a lot more to Ruby than Rails fyi) and finally Python which is popular and I would recommend. But what matters to me may not matter to you. Take a look at some tutorials and find something that you _want_ to program in. (Sorry Sam for the spam). -- # Curt Micol
OLPC
I saw this today and thought I'd share. It took me back to Theo's email[1] from a number of years ago about using the closed drivers by Marvell: * Ironically, the majority of the system-level problems we had experienced are directly tied to the two proprietary code bases on the laptop: the wireless firmware and the embedded controller firmware. While there are efforts to replace these, OLPC itself has been diligently working with both Marvell and Quanta to make the best of the situation. To suggest that fundamentalism has impeded progress on those two subsystems is not correct.[2] Thought some of you would be interested in that nugget.

What's noticing out of order MX use - just a log entry? Are there any changes to existing functionality to be forewarned about; or just new features?
