Pinebook is an affordable 64-bit ARM notebook. Today we\'re going to take a look at the kernel output at startup and talk about what hardware support is available on NetBSD.

ACPICA update to 20180508 in DragonFl...
Sascha Wildner has brought in the last 9 months of ACPICA updates to DragonFly. This may mean better power or motherboard support for your hardware in DragonFly. I always have a hard time pointing directly to ACPICA updates and how they benefit, but looking at the changelog update may help.
OpenBSD Errata: May 17th, 2018 (ipsec...
Errata patches for IPsec have been released for OpenBSD 6.3 and 6.2.
A malicious packet can cause a kernel crash when using IPsec over IPv6.
Binary updates for the amd64, i386, and arm64 platforms are available via
the syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the respective
errata pages:

BSDNow 246: Properly Coordinated Disc...
BSDNow 246’s title is talking about CVE-2018-8897, which was (unlike the original Spectre/Meltdown) responsibly disclosed to many different operating system vendors, including the BSDs. As a result, fixes arrived a lot faster… seems like a good idea. No interview in this episode, but as always there’s other topics explore [...]
ipfw3: highspeed lockless in-kernel N...
This commit from Bill Yuan says “highspeed lockless in-kernel NAT”, and lists a huge number of changes for ipfw3. How much of a change is it? I don’t know; there isn’t a matching documentation update and I don’t have a way to test.

Next up in the stream of p2k18 reports is one from Antoine Jacoutot (ajacoutot@):
Because there was yet another national railroad strike, I decided not to take

GCC 8.0 in DragonFly
Thanks to Rimvydas Jasinskas, GCC 8.0 has been imported into DragonFly. It’s not built by default, so you’ll need to set WORLD_ALTCOMPILER to get it. Rimvydas mentions this is part of a 3-year upgrade cycle.
Note that he went the extra mile and made sure dports could handle it too.
