@bhtooefr@mastodon.social @cynicalsecurity@bsd.network Done, thank you for the recommendation.

Polite notice: I’ve moved, I’m on @cynicalsecurity@bsd.network now.

I just noticed some people are still answering here and I have not seen your messages, sorry :(

And yes, I did set the forward…

I have moved my main account to @cynicalsecurity@bsd.network should you wish to follow me there.

I have already followed, at least I hope, all those I was previously following.

Achtung Bitte: I am going to try to move my account from @cynicalsecurity@mastodon.social to @cynicalsecurity@bsd.network…

I don't know if it will work correctly because I am using the web interface and I am one of these "give me my ADM-3A back" people. Bear with me.

@phessler@mastodon.social @lattera@bsd.network USB disk, I assume, as I don't see a SATA connector (like the Raspberry).

@phessler@mastodon.social @lattera@bsd.network Oh, OK, so I should not assume this is as trivial as burning an image on to a microSD card… I am trying to decide what to do in the sense that the Pi 3 with Raspbian is a nice toy but for my servers I would prefer *BSD. My plan is to use the WD external disk for Raspberry Pi 3 (or the PINE64 eMMC) for server stuff but if it is a nightmare then perhaps not.

For those desiring to take a trip down Folly Lane here's the (marketing) PDF for DIDO (DIrect Data iO, I think): https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/data-direct-i-o-technology-overview-paper.pdf

@phessler@mastodon.social @lattera@bsd.network not sure what that means about u-boot but I'd be happy to learn :) Where can I document myself?

I am not sure if I should thank @Kensan@mastodon.social and @qrs@mastodon.social for introducing me to Intel's DIDO where the NIC speaks directly to the processor's L3 cache.

Now I am even more terrified of Intel processors than I already was.

It is obviously a performance trick taking DMA over PCI to the next level (most likely for Intel NICs which are already integrated on SOCs) but… my God that takes courage to deploy in any secure network design.

@phessler@mastodon.social does it mean it does OpenBSD? :) I notice on the forum they say HardenedBSD is available for the PINE64-LTS (Is it true @lattera@bsd.network ? I thought HardenedBSD was amd64-only). I am working hard on removing my machines from hosting because $$ and setting up an el-cheapo hosting at home on ARM-based machines. My biggest load is e-mail to my private domains and the PoC||GTFO mirror..

Does anyone have experience with the PINE64 SBCs?

They seem to offer Gigabit Ethernet compared to the Raspberry Pi3 or is this purely theoretical? I also note FreeBSD support in 12.0-CURRENT.
