@tubsta@social.bsdlab.au Nice! Thanks for sharing!!!! @oxy@social.bsdlab.au @stucchimax@social.secret-wg.org

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe We installed it on a few EC2 servers on Ubuntu Linux for some Umbraco sites and it worked okay.

@dexter@bsd.network @oxy@social.bsdlab.au To Australians:

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au The cats are little scientists.

Everyone at #eurobsdcon have lots of fun! I wish I could go. Just not in the cards this year. Hopefully next year!

Another revolution around our star. Somehow these seem to go faster every year.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au re: https://au.fedimeteo.com/wollongong/p/1789627249.669208 Almost the same here! Min: 10.7°C Max: 15.7°C 😂

Finally got around to updating my script to update my #OpenBSD #pf firewall with @JulianOliver@mastodon.social 's fantastic parasites.txt. (Apologies if you've seen a bunch of HEAD requests from me, Julian!) If anyone's interested: #!/bin/ksh set -euo pipefail cd /home/pertho ftp -TV https://scienceispoetry.net/files/parasites.txt sed -e '/^[^0-9]/d' parasites.txt | sed '/^$/d' | sed '$d' > parasites.new doas /usr/bin/install -g wheel -m 0644 -o root /home/pertho/parasites.new /etc/parasites.txt doas /sbin/pfctl -t parasites -T replace -f /etc/parasites.txt [ -f /home/pertho/parasites.new ] && rm -f /home/pertho/parasites.new Please, go easy on Julian's server. Don't blast it with requests. He's providing this for free. (Thank you!!!!) I use my home directory because I need to store parasites.txt with its timestamps. OpenBSD's ftp (which does talk https) checks the timestamp to see if a newer one is available and only proceeds if there is a newer one. /etc/doas.conf edited to allow the install and pfctl commands to run (just look in doas.conf(5) for details and use the args)

Hey #IPv6 folks: If I do NOT have a /64 assigned to me and only have a single IPv6 assigned, am I better off adding fd00::/7 addresses to the jails and then NAT'ing to them like I do with the IPv4 addresses? I don't think I have any other kind of choice here. #FreeBSD #networking

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au Were they all at the AusNOG conference?

@justine In currently slogging through this book trying to catch up to IPv6 myself.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au Thanks!!

@cmccullough@polymaths.social I don't know how people can read websites without an ad blocker these days.

@gumnos@mastodon.bsd.cafe ssh certificates for the win. Just sign all your hosts ssh keys with it and you can have a single line in known_hosts to validate it. So even if you reinstall, so long as you sign the ssh server keys with that one key it all works. You can also do the same for user ssh keys. I've been using this system for about 2 years on my servers and it's great. I store the private key in a safe place of course.

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social Can we find out which state they're incorporated in and get their corporate charter revoked? 🤔

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @peteorrall@mastodon.bsd.cafe You know what is really really nice? Fresh medjool dates dipped in peanut butter. (just be careful of the date stones)

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @tubsta@social.bsdlab.au Chips, pies and gravy. Proper Northern English grub! 👍

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good #wiki software to host in a #FreeBSD jail? There was an article floating around 3-4 months ago about installing one in a FreeBSD jail but Mastodon is so horrendously bad at search, I can't find it. Bonus if it doesn't use PHP and is lightweight! Thanks muchly!!

@BastilleBSD@fosstodon.org I miss watching people log into my DOS BBS in OS/2 or seeing a node on FidoNet dial in to deliver a stack of messages (posts).

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @gumnos@mastodon.bsd.cafe @rl_dane@polymaths.social 300 baud acoustic coupler!!

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @tubsta@social.bsdlab.au I couldn't get encrypted swap and hibernation working. Works if swap is not encrypted, but that's a massive flaw. Followed @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe 's instructions to the letter too..🤔

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au This picture title should be: "@Zitron@mastodon.social has heard enough of your AI bullshit."

Anyone else get annoyed when your #FreeBSD jail IDs in the list don't start with 1 and go ascending by 1?

@tubsta@social.bsdlab.au @oxy@social.bsdlab.au I looked and OpenBSD is still on 2.3 of Dovecot thank goodness. I didn't want to upgrade to 7.9 and have it break my mail setup, but thankfully it's still 2.3. 2.4 sounds like a nightmare.

@dch@bsd.network @ricardo@mastodon.bsd.cafe This should get an honourable mention: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2UWxJtVOfOw

@domi@donotsta.re Meta deserves to be blackholed into oblivion.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @tubsta@social.bsdlab.au Void Linux with ZFS root and ZFS BootMenu

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au OK can I ask... do Australians use BOTH terms: chips and fries?

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au "Wait what the hell is grog" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@cmccullough@polymaths.social Ooh I've not run GNOME for some years. I either use i3 or try some other tiling WM. The last big WM I drive for a while was KDE Plasma 6.

@cmccullough@polymaths.social Which window manager are you going for?

@mwl@io.mwl.io Napping: Serious Business

@tokyo_0@mas.to Absolutely! THIS! I can't read text in 4 pt. font on a HD screen and thin scrollbars that appear and disappear are evil!

@dch @cR0w It would likely go nowhere in the Land of the Orange Monster since he gutted all the regulatory/oversight. The EU might have a better chance of pursuing justice.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do Disk I/O benchmarks? I want to compare a ZFS disk with an ext4 disk. Seems bonnie++ works slower on ZFS so I'm not sure what stats to look at, or if bonnie++ is even the right tool for the job.

@ubuntu@ubuntu.social 's PPA servers are still down: Could not connect to ppa.launchpadcontent.net:443 (185.125.190.80), connection timed out. https://status.canonical.com incorrectly shows launchpad as "up". #canonical #ubuntu

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @atax1a@infosec.exchange Is there a way to check this if you no longer have a GH account?

@dch@bsd.network Do you notice the same IP addresses hitting ssh or do they seem to be spread over thousands of different IPs? @pitrh@mastodon.social @nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe

@dch@bsd.network @tubsta@social.bsdlab.au Does Discord run under the Linuxulator on FreeBSD or do you just use the web site? I've gotten games to install on Steam but none of them run for me. I don't even play recent games. These are the ones I play on Steam: Skyrim Special Edition Portal 2 I also had a "game" on Steam called ZenkCraft which creates templates for an old MMORPG I played called "Dark Age of Camelot" but that won't run on FreeBSD (but DAoC itself does) World of Warcraft I've played on occasion in WINE. I don't play that many games and the ones I play are old now. 😂

@beasts@social.mythic-beasts.com So glad I am running OpenBSD on your infra. ❤️

@gumnos@mastodon.bsd.cafe @rl_dane@polymaths.social What happens if you run it in a NFS directory with thousands of files? 😂😈

@tubsta@social.bsdlab.au @oxy@social.bsdlab.au @stucchimax@social.secret-wg.org Would love to see a video if there is one.

Is it possible to bind both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses to a jail? I'm using bastille and for now I've just added the ipv4 (RFC1918) addresses, but I'm running unbound in a jail as a local DNS resolver and I want to let in IPv6 traffic. Thing is, I'm not sure what range to use. Do I use a fc00::/7 ?

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe Have you tried blocking the IP ranges in Julian's list? https://mastodon.social/@JulianOliver/116538041878970117 Or is it all coming from residential proxies? 🤔

@cR0w I have to work with a guy at work who is an absolute cloudflare zealot. It drives me mad. Sadly, there is no other way to protect PHP-heavy sites, because sites that need to use PHP to render everything are so poorly engineered. About the best thing we can do is stick Varnish in front, aggressively cache things like search which always hit the backend and pray. @eldersea

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe I say "okay" because it was for Umbraco which is kind of a garbage CMS. Drupal, WordPress, Joomla, Umbraco... why don't they just export the content as static html, css, and images? It makes no sense to constantly render pages with PHP on every request! If the content isn't dynamically changing, there's no point to any of it.
