Oh, shit, git!Oh shit, git! Git is hard: screwing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is fucking impossible. Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can’t search for how to get yourself out of a mess, unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know about …
Right now the site is down from Amsterdam; luckily we have http://web.archive.org/web/20160909123413/http://ohshitgit.com/

May the Fork Be with You: A Short History of Open Source Forks – The New Stack
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/09
Every time there is a fork, and I think forks are actually good things, it means somebody sees a need and a technical reason to do something different from the standard kernel. But most forks are failures. They find that the things they needed were not actually worth doing and as a result, most forks die. — Linus Torvalds.
Many forks at May the Fork Be with You: A Short History of Open Source Forks – The New Stack [WayBack]
Notably missing: OpenSSL forks (especially since OpenSSH is mentioned).

Trip down memory lane:
at the time of the videos release (1984/85), this was completely state of the art – I got my C64 in 1983 and an Amiga in 1986, so this is 8 bit level of tech in home computing time.
The video has been the work of Gavin Blair and Ian Pearson, canadian animators which needed the money and a test run for their animation software. What Gavin and Ian actually wanted to make is Reboot, a pretty groundbreaking early full-render animation series.

OpenSuSE Tumbleweed ntp problem after snapshot 20160905 will be fixed in snapshot 20160908
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/09
On some systems, after upgrading OpenSuSE Tumbleweed to 20160905 ntp stops working.
TL;DR
Pending the verification of snapshot 20160908 (not finished yet), if if you have updated to 20160905 or 20160907,, the bogus ntp version is, so you have to downgrade:
zypper in --oldpackage http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/ntp-4.2.8p8-1.3.x86_64.rpm systemctl restart ntpd.service
Or wait a few hours and install snapshot 20160908.

Modifying openssl to build on Mac without makedepend: using cc -M/gcc -M/clang -M
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/08
Coping with OpenSSL is frustrating on so many levels. It would be hilarious if not so many depended on it.
The main thing is that there is so much cruft in openssl but nobody seemingly to care enough about copying with that cruft. Though the intentions of the LibreSSL are great and it has far left cruft, it didn’t gain enough ground in the 2+ years it exists.
For me, the biggest problem was that OpenSSL would fail to build on “modern” OS X versions. These lack makedepend which was part of OS X, but got removed somewhere between 2006 and 8.0 in 2012. Luckily, the 2006 post also mentions the alternative: gcc -M.
Actually
cc -Morclang -Mwork just as well asccsymlinks toclangandgcccallsclangwith some parameters.
OpenSSL references makedepend in a lot of Makefiles (see list below). The good part is that config and Configure modify the Makefiles so most people use a manual workaround after running Configure or revert to a macports built or other binaries of makedepend or a homebrew formula.
That is not really an automated solution suitable for general use, let alone suitable for Continuous Integration, so I dug a bit deeper: config is a shell script and Configure is a sherl script: a cleverly crafted shell script starting with the below line invoking Perl with the rest of the script. The reason is that #! shebangs need an absolute location which for Perl can vary. A nice discussion on this trick is at Running Under Some Shell which contains a more elaborate how this works:

TUMBLEWEED Poor performance in VMware Fusion can be a `search localdomain` issue
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/07
I figured this out, it turned out to be a DNS resolution issue. For some reason leaving ‘search localdomain’ in resolv.conf generates some slowness. I’m not sure if it’s because 127.0.0.1 isn’t mapped to ‘localhost.localdomain’ in /etc/hosts by default, or whatever, but taking it out fixes the performance issue.
