Excuse me for being ignorant, is Seccomp what SELinux is based on ?

Also, what is well-known piece of software that uses Capsicum on FreeBSD ? Can someone name a few ?


No. SELinux is based on the Linux Security Module framework, which places explicit hooks at key points within the kernel.

They also operate under pretty fundamentally different philosophies. Seccomp is based on a program dropping its own permissions. SELinux is based on a system integrator writing an ahead of time policy restricting what a program can do.


When I was watching that Lunduke's video a couple of days ago initially I was thinking he's just making a joke of that Vendefoul Wolf distro on 200MB box. I recalled using FreeBSD as access server with lots of modems (PPP/SLIP), Apache, Samba and QuakeWorld server running on a box with just 32MB of RAM. That was also my daily working machine with XF86 and Enlightenment desktop manager, circa 2000. So, 200MB is a whole lot of memory!


Is there Plan9 port for RISC-V (RV32I) ?


There's a 9legacy port, and an in-progress 9front port.

That's interesting, thanks. I feel a need for simple multitasking/networking OS for synthesizable RV32I core (not RTOS like, but more like Unix or CP/M). Would be nice to try Plan9 on it once port is out.


Probably not. And there aren't many 32-bit RISC-V cores with an MMU. I guess you can use a simulator if you found one.


I use one written in SpinalHDL. :-)

Next question is how much RAM it needs to boot and can it be used without rio ?


Ice hockey player also here. Defence. Pretty neat analogy with Google. :)


Did you see tamatoes harvested that way ? They are suitable only for producing sauce.


Exceptionally good reading!


Get two FTDI FT232RL chips, connect them together on serial side (RXD->TXD, TXD->RXD, GND<->GND). Plug into USB ports of your computers, run terminals (or any other software that supports serial I/O), send/receive data. Can use XYZModem to send files, PPP for TCP/IP networking, etc. No programming involved. Cheap as hell.


Thanks for the idea. I think it's a great one, but I have a few concerns:

1) The two computers are on 2 different grounds, so I believe it could damage the computers. So I would like to isolate the ground somehow, I am not sure what the options are. I tried to look for opto-isolated options, but didn't really find something clear. Do you have any suggestion?

2) This specific chip is marked NRND (not recommended for new designs) on ftdi's website, So it feels slightly wrong to use it?


I wonder why I had to scroll so far down to find this comment

People even suggesting using two Ardinos which each have a USB serial chip on board


Are there any options to connect more than 2 computers via USB using hub topology?


No pointers ?


from the grammar:

> pointer_type = "^" type.


How about social.md which is gpg signed ?


Why not just sign the social.org file and publish it as social.asc or something?


Right. But I would still prefer markdown file format, so I could simply open it in web browser. :)


Sure. But the point of this system is you use it from emacs.
