Packaging an out-of-tree module for Debian with DKMS
DKMS is a framework designed to allow individual kernel modules to be upgraded without changing the whole kernel. It is also very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels.
On Debian-like systems,1 DKMS enables the installation of various drivers, from ZFS on Linux to VirtualBox kernel modules or NVIDIA drivers. These out-of-tree modules are not distributed as binaries: once installed, they need to be compiled for your current kernel. Everything is done automatically:
# apt install zfs-dkms Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following additional packages will be installed: binutils cpp cpp-6 dkms fakeroot gcc gcc-6 gcc-6-base libasan3 libatomic1 libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libcc1-0 libcilkrts5 libfakeroot libgcc-6-dev libgcc1 libgomp1 libisl15 libitm1 liblsan0 libmpc3 libmpfr4 libmpx2 libnvpair1linux libquadmath0 libstdc++6 libtsan0 libubsan0 libuutil1linux libzfs2linux libzpool2linux linux-compiler-gcc-6-x86 linux-headers-4.9.0-6-amd64 linux-headers-4.9.0-6-common linux-headers-amd64 linux-kbuild-4.9 linux-libc-dev make manpages manpages-dev patch spl spl-dkms zfs-zed zfsutils-linux […] 3 upgraded, 44 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

Shine the Light: Six Women Making a Difference
This International Women’s Day, we’re boosting the profiles of incredible women around the world who are pushing boundaries using technology – and we encourage you to do the same!
Last month, during Safer Internet Day – a call to action for everyone to play their part in creating a better Internet for everyone – women in the Internet Society’s 25 Under 25 group, using just their smartphones to record video, answered the question, “What does a safer Internet mean to me?”
Watch the videos, explore the different ways these young women are using technology to shape tomorrow, then Shine The Light on some of the incredible women you know who are making an impact. Join the #ShineTheLight tweet chat with @SIGWomenISOC on March 8th… then join SIG Women!

Reykjavík, Cloudflare’s northernmost location
Iceland is a small country in Northern Europe, a land of active volcanoes and boiling hot geysers. The geology and climate creates unique conditions for running compute power. With an abundance of green electricity and natural cooling, many companies are placing high power machines in Iceland to run power intensive, heat generating operations. Reykjavík is our 125th location globally.
Connecting to the rest of the world
A unique aspect about Iceland relates to how it connects to the Internet, being situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge means submarine cables are necessary to reach networks in other countries. Iceland has three active fibre optic submarine cables that land on its shores: FARICE-1, DANICE and Greenland Connect. Due to the distance, latency to the nearest Cloudflare locations in London and Copenhagen starts at 35 milliseconds. By deploying in Reykjavík, we're able to drive down latency even further to a minimum of under 1 millisecond.
Iceland is unique in many ways, but is no different from other countries when it comes to exchanging internet traffic. ISNIC, Iceland's Network Information Centre runs RIX, the Reykjavík Internet Exchange. Cloudflare is the only CDN network connected to RIX, allowing traffic to flow directly to Continue reading
