Well, with RPiX you completely missed the target I'm afriad. If I'm
correct, then whole SoC is booted on the side of video processor which
loads some blobs into it, run ThreadX OS and then boots ARMv8
bootloader on ARM core. There have been some attempt to replace ThreadX
and binary blob on RPiX, but so far IIRC unsuccessful.

So if you like to have libre hardware w/o binary blobs, then you need
to look elsewhere. I don't now situation in ARM land, but at least
RaptorCS is very vocal about advertising their POWER9 boards as truly
libre computer systems... The only issue with this is that OpenBSD does
not fly on them.

I'm happy to be taking this step. Thanks for the book recommendations!
I'm also liking the aspect of not having to worry about whether when
there is a problem if it's my fault or their fault. It then will clearly
be my fault if things aren't right and I can discover what I'm doing
wrong and not second guessing who is to blame.
I'm also concerned that Godaddy may very well be at fault in order to
push people to host with them instead of on their own. $$ speak volumes!
They also charge hefty fees if you want to change registrars.

I already bought ebooks on SSH Mastery, Httpd and relayd, and DNSSEC by
M. Lucas. Bad side is that I prefer real books. Somehow I get delayed
reading ebooks vs. real books.

I definitely have a lot to learn! At this point it seems best for me to
cut out the possibility of someone else being the problem. Then I know
exactly who to blame: me

I will not just jump off the bridge without learning a lot more first.
That would be stupid on my part!

Because I haven't looked into it yet.

This all started because I'm on vacation in a major electronics hub and saw a 
Raspberry Pi at a local mall, thought it would be a fun project and 
want to get away from Intel ME/AMD PSP binary blob-istan.


Would love to have a totally open computer where all the code is auditable, 
and have it be small enough to pack into my carryon for the flight home...

Congratulations Chris on starting to learn the trade of a hostmaster.

Being a hostmaster is a specialist skill, like being a webmaster, or
sysadmin, or postmaster - each is a vastly different skill set.

Move the domains to a different registrar.

Eh? DNS is not SMTP. For postmaster problems, learn spamd, etc.

Have you taken the time to learn about these records, then create them?

Move the domains to a different registrar.

A hostmaster creates the SOA record however he likes.

Create the zone files on your master NSD server,
and have your slave NSD server(s) AXFR the zones over.

Reading at least 1 book about DNS and learning seems way better to me.



For a beginner hostmaster, the book "DNS and BIND" by Nicolai Langfeldt
is a good place to start the subject.

On from there, "DNS and BIND" by Cricket Liu & Paul Albitz is a good
next read.

Zytrax publish their DNS book online: http://www.Zytrax.Com/books/dns/


As you'll be using NSD, translate the ideas into NSD's configuration
style. You need to step back from implementation details and learn why
before how. Learn the difference between masters and slaves and their
transfers, A records and CNAMES, and why a hostmaster would use each
for various circumstances - before getting into DKIM & DMARC.

Re: Raspberry Pi support in 6.4

2019-01-19 Thread Mihai Popescu
Why not an AMD Opteron A1100 based board?

The OP started from Pi then moved gradually to nowhere!
I think it matters what you really want to do with the board. It's
fine to buy it even for fun or killing time, but say it so, please.

I'm thinking to do some multimedia computer hooked to some TV with
such a board, but very few information are available from people who
actually did this. Most of them are linux.

As an example, I am curious how an average player (mplayer, mpv, vlc?)
runs something in 1080p? Some people may want to check the VPN
performace for such a board.

Why I do not receive this message? Why this message is "from=<>"? I have
config "smtpd.conf" from man.
