trunk

Setup

ifconfig bge0 up
ifconfig bge1 up
ifconfig trunk0 trunkport <proto> bge0 trunkport bge1 \
192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
proto desc
failover Fails over to next link
lacp increases link speed and redundancy, requires lacp-capable switch
loadbalance load-balancing
roundrobin Use round-robin scheduler to distribute traffic

CARP

master advertises on port 112

ifconfig syntax

ifconfig carpN create
ifconfig carpN [advbase n] [advskew n] [balancing mode]   \
[carpnodes vhid:advskew,vhid:advskew,...] [carpdev iface] \
[[-]carppeer peer_address] [pass passphrase] [state state] [vhid host-id]

Try to become master

# Force master to give up control
ifconfig carp0 down

# Allow preemption
sysctl net.inet.carp.preempt=1

pf

pfctl

flag command
-e Enable pf
-d Disable pf
-nf parse file, don’t load
-f load pf.conf file
-sr show rulesets
-ss show state table
-si show filter stats+counters
-sl show label counters
-sa show everything

General rule syntax

action [direction] [log] [quick] [on interface] [af] [proto protocol] \
[from src_addr [port src_port]] [to dst_addr [port dst_port]] \
[flags tcp_flags] [state] 
action pass/block
direction in/out
quick if packet matches rule, do action and skip rest of rules
af (address family) inet/inet6
protocol udp/tcp/icmp

($ext_if) is shorthand for “use the IP address for the rule” (handy with NAT)

Default deny

block in  all
block out all 

Table containing all IP addresses to firewall

table <firewall> const { self }

Launcher icon (iOS 1.1.3+)

Rounded corners, no added shiny (iOS 4.2):

Added shiny:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="touch-icon-iphone.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="touch-icon-ipad.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="touch-icon-iphone4.png" />

With no sizes the default is 57x57 px

(Multiple sizes iOS 4.2+)

Startup Image (iOS 3.0+)

<link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="/startup.png">

320x460 px, portrait

Have standalone look

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />

You might think it’s an innocent meta tag, but in fact it’s a powerful and dangerous meta tag if you add it irresponsibly. You must provide a single page application solution offering back buttons inside the UI -or use location.href instead of normal links if you don’t want them to be opened in the browser instead of your app’s container-. https://medium.com/@firt/dont-use-ios-web-app-meta-tag-irresponsibly-in-your-progressive-web-apps-85d70f4438cb

That will involve: a) adding back navigation everywhere, b) create a SPA experience or use location.href instead of links for internal navigation, c) if the load process is done in fullscreen mode (navigator.standalone==true), always load the home screen not matter what the stored URL says and please d) don’t suggest me to “download an app” if I’m already inside an app-like experience.

Hide top status bar

NB - must have standalone mode on.
