Freelance software engineers: what sites do you use to find gigs? With my wife effectively out-of-work, I need to pick up some extra work myself. Hoping to pick up around 10 hours per week of extra work. #programming

@rysiek@mstdn.social Good thoughts! you almost certainly should continue to use Signal, unless you specifically know that this is a big problem for you. If this is a problem for you, you could use Signal behind Tor.Then, the CDN cache is hit from a Tor exit node. It would be great if Signal also provided an Onion Service CDN. That way, no data leaves Tor (if configured to use Tor).

Today, I'm thankful for the combination of these two #FreeBSD features: geli-based storage encryptionZFS Before I fly out to help with a family medical emergency, I'm backing up my most important bits to a geli-encrypted encrypted NVMe USB enclosure. It's ZFS all the way down, so I can do something like: # zpool import backups $ zfs snapshot rpool/home/shawn@2026-06-27 $ zfs send -vp rpool/home/shawn@2026-06-27 > /backups/laptop/home-2026-06-27.zfs Rinse and repeat for each ZFS dataset I'm interested in backing up, both for the laptop itself and for the ZFS datasets contained within the VMs on the laptop.

Woke up this morning to new #Radicle seeders for the #HardenedBSD src and ports repos. This is encouraging to see.

There are a number of issues to fix:

STALE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT should either be bumped or made configurable (or both).
Filesystem permissions get messed up on #OpenZFS #ZFS but not on UFS or tmpfs.
Bump the node.limits.fetchPackReceive maximum by default to higher than 500MiB (exact value to be chosen later.)
Improvements to cloning without seeding. Right now, a user will need to run rad seed , letting both git and radicle to quiet down, then run rad clone . Otherwise, rad clone will fail.

It is really heartening and motivating to see the #Radicle community come to aid #HardenedBSD. I'm so grateful folks are helping out, especially at the cost of time, bandwidth, and storage.

I feel full of gratitude this morning.

Dear Business People,

Please send me slide decks prior to our meetings. Doing so will enable me to come to the meeting prepared and potentially with questions in hand.

We'll all be on more even footing with mutual understanding even before the meeting begins.

Sincerely,

Tools I predict will become more important as time marches on in the next five years:

I really hope we can move back towards a more decentralized and privacy-preserving Internet. These projects will likely play a crucial role in that effort.

I'm 100% out of ideas. Our servers cannot handle the load the AI/LLM web scraping bots place on #GitLab. #Radicle is turning out to still not be ready for prime-time. I refuse to use #GitHub beyond being a read-only mirror. Self-hosting our code repos is an absolute requirement in order to provide higher levels of OPSEC than what third-party hosted services can provide. So, at the hands of our oligarchic overlords, is this the death of HardenedBSD? Someone please provide me ideas. I have no idea what to try next and I'm desperate.

If true, that means a news publisher got advanced notice, and not some operating systems vendors.

Reddit can be a fun place! I was called "ignorant" simply for running #GrapheneOS and knowing ahead of time that tap-to-pay doesn't work. Dunno how "being knowledgeable and having tangible experience in this area" equals being ignorant. People are weird.

I'm glad I switched #HardenedBSD away from #GnuPG to #OpenSSH based (detached) signatures. Not saying there's zero bugs in OpenSSH, but it seems to me (with zero factual research) OpenSSH has a better overall security posture than the alternatives. #infosec #gpg
