Well, I’ve done some tinkering with Gentoo/Prefix on MacOS X. Not bad so far, although there’s a lot of packages not keyworded… (a bit like MIPS) and some packages I miss from regular Gentoo (e.g. crossdev). However, we can work on sorting this out over time. For those of you who aren’t particularly fond of [...]

Well, one thing I’ll need to investigate… I’ve been battling a slightly broken bzip2 which when compressing some files, would cause the whole machine to lock up. Environment is µClibc-0.9.31 based, using gcc-4.5.2. Everything compiled with the CFLAGS: “-Os -pipe -mips1 -Wa,-mfix-loongson2f-nop”. The latter flag is really for Loongson 2F but I find it helpful [...]
Well, it seems I might have µClibc stages going again, at least for little endian initially, then I might fire up one of the SGI boxes and see about a big-endian version. For a long while, Gentoo/MIPS support for this lightweight C library was all but missing ever since an ABI change broke the µClibc [...]
This is a question raised on an earlier post of mine. It’s an interesting comparison between radios and mobile phones. And some are of the belief that all you do with a radio, is talk on it, or that mobile phones can completely replace radios. Rather than respond there, I’ve decided there’s enough content there [...]
That was one of the comments made following my piece in this week’s WIA national news. We better start thinking up a better protocol then if that’s the truth. And we’ve only got 5-10 years to do it apparently, and migrate everyone. The IPng working group started their work in the early 90′s. It took [...]
Hi all, As promised I’ve put up some of the ebuilds needed to use the YubiKey in Gentoo. This includes a PAM module for stand-alone authentication with the YubiKey, which I have patched to support concatenated two-factor authentication. These are in a new overlay: git://git.longlandclan.yi.org/overlays/yubikey.git http://git.longlandclan.yi.org/git/overlays/yubikey.git Stand-alone two factor authentication: Password + YubiKey with YubiPAM [...]
Amongst playing with the YubiKey, I also had a look at DHCPv6. As people well know, IPv4′s days are numbered, and given we’re all going to have to jump across to IPv6 fairly soon, I figured I had better get acquainted with the newer protocols that come with it. I’ve had my network running dual-stack [...]
At linux.conf.au, we all got given a YubiKey each. These are a proprietary one-time-password generator device which plugs into USB and emulates a USB HID keyboard. Full documentation on how the algorithm works is provided by Yubico and they have also provided a lot of software for interfacing to the keys under a quite liberal [...]
The following was a news article that I intended to record and have included in this week’s WIA National News service, however I had problems cutting it down to the 1:30 required. So, I’ve put in additional information that there wasn’t time for, and I intend to put in a short piece for next week’s [...]
Well, you’ve probably heard about it by now. http://lcaunderthestars.org.au/ To be held in Ballarat, Victoria. I have no idea whether I’ll make it, but this year has been fun.
