Che fine ha fatto Donald Trump? Il presidente Usa non si fa vedere da giorni e i social si scatenano: «E se fosse morto?»

L'assenza (inusuale) del presidente americano dalla scena pubblica solleva i primi interrogativi. E pochi giorni fa, Vance diceva: «Se gli dovesse succedere qualcosa, io sono pronto»

Study: Moderate Coffee Drinking May Slow Cognitive Decline in Older Adults

A new long-term study found that drinking one to three cups of coffee per day may be the sweet spot for older adults seeking to prevent cognitive decline.

Flipping Bits: Memory Errors in the Machine by Taylor Campbell

youtu.be/vZmzWNcV0Q0

We've all heard stories of the dreaded cosmic ray angrily flipping bits in your RAM. But how much does it matter, really? And, more importantly, how do you tell?

This talk will cover an overview of hardware architecture around detecting and correcting memory errors, software support for handling them and other types of hardware errors, and stories of memory errors in the real world.

And, if the stars align (specifically, the cosmic-ray-generating supernovae), perhaps we'll have a live demo.

Confidential Computing with OpenBSD -- The Next Step by Hans-Jörg Höxer

youtu.be/KpPY0wKSURM

Confidential computing is a family of techniques to enhance security and confidentiality for data in use. One technical approach is strong isolation for virtual machines.

AMDs Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) offers several feature sets for isolation of guest virtual machines from an non-trusted host hypervisor and operating system. These feature sets include memory encryption, encryption of guest state including CPU registers and an attestation framework.

With OpenBSD 7.6 released in October 2024 we are now able to use the memory encryption features of AMD SEV to run OpenBSD as both

a confidential guest VM and

as a hypervisor providing a confidential execution environment.

Now, thanks to memory encryption the hypervisor is not able to peek into a guests memory and is not able to retrieve sensitive information. However, the state of the CPU registers used by the guest is still visible to the hypervisor.

Therefore, we implemented support of AMDs "Secure Encrypted Virtualization with State Encryption" (SEV-ES) for OpenBSD guests and hypervisor. With SEV-ES all CPU guest state is encrypted and hidden from the hypervisor.

In this talk we will explain the fundamentals of SEV and SEV-ES. Then we explore the challenges imposed by SEV-ES for both guest and hypervisor. Finally we will take a closer look into selected implementation details.

Hans-Jörg Höxer is employed at genua, a German firewall manufacturer, who is using OpenBSD as a secure and stable base for its products.

Automated and Distributed Testing Using TTCN-3 by Hiroki Sato

youtu.be/RALPalII95c

Testing an operating system is not easy. FreeBSD project uses Kyua testing framework and has continuously made efforts to add more test cases. They are mostly written in shell scripts or some lightweight programming languages. Writing and maintaining complex test cases is still challenging.

This talk introduces TTCN-3, Testing and Test Control Notation version 3. This is a domain-specific language designed for automated testing and is widely used in telecommunicating systems as an ETSI industry standard. While the primary target is conformance testing of communication protocols, it is also helpful to write complex test cases for operating system testing that cannot be covered by shell scripting.

Eclipse Titan is a TTCN-3 toolchain that Ericsson internally developed and Eclipse Foundation now maintains under Eclipse Public License 2.0. It translates test cases in TTCN-3 to a C++ program, and it generates a single binary without annoying library dependency to perform testing. The toolchain runs on *BSD or other Unix-like systems with GCC, and includes powerful orchestrating controller and logging capability. This project also maintains production-quality test case implementations for various protocols we can reuse.

The talk will cover how to get started with Eclipse Titan on FreeBSD, and how to write test cases of networking and multiple nodes. It includes examples such as a simple string matching of messages over STDIN/STDOUT, a simple request/response packet exchange over IP, and more complex scenarios that show both the upside and downside of using TTCN-3.

Speaker Biography: Hiroki Sato is an assistant professor at Institute of Science Tokyo. He is one of the FreeBSD core team members and has been a FreeBSD committer since 2001.

EU-buitenlandministers nog altijd niet eens over maatregelen tegen Israël. Zo is er nog steeds onvoldoende steun, zelfs voor sancties, zoals het opschorten van Europese handelsvoordelen voor Israël of het deels stopzetten van de samenwerking in wetenschappelijke onderzoeksprogramma's.

Anthropic settles AI book piracy lawsuit

Anthropic has settled a class action lawsuit with a group of US authors who accused the AI startup of copyright infringement. In a legal filing, Anthropic says it has negotiated a “proposed class settlement,” allowing it to skip a trial that would have determined how much the company owes for allegedly training its AI models on pirated work.
