J'aimerais bien passer mes serveurs sous BSD

Much better (Deaf Mermaid)

Partisans for the term "GNU/Linux" instead of just "Linux" are 1% informed on the matter and 99% "RMS said so", although they believe it to be the opposite.

I guess I can't blame them for RMS being influential. But I do blame RMS for being salty about the future that wasn't his being "stolen" instead of just accepting it like an adult.

Tumblr full of gifs of floppy disks in anime. The good stuff 👍👍👍

Remember, folks: #FreeBSD had jails while #Linux was still in elementary school.

Potentially unpopular puffin meme:

#Docker is a form of vendor lock-in.

I'm seeing more and more people not able to run BSD due to depending on #Linux-only Docker-ized projects.

Making your project have a hard dependency on Docker means you're locking your users into a potentially unwanted ecosystem.

Regarding captchas and free labor, digitizing books felt way better than training Google’s self-driving car.

#AWS #OpenBSD AMIs on eu-west-1 by https://twitter.com/ajacoutot:

current => ami-d1875ea8
6.2 => ami-ec904395
6.1 (don't use!) => ami-17110571

Yes it's "ec2-user@$ip" and you can doas(1) all you want...

To improve the security of my severs, I'm generating my own moduli file. Having a different one from others makes certain precomputed attacks more difficult.

"""
for i in 2048 3072 4096 6144 7680 8192 ; do ssh-keygen -G moduli-${i}.candidates -b $i; done

for i in 2048 3072 4096 6144 7680 8192 ; do ssh-keygen -T moduli-${i} -f moduli-${i}.candidates; done

cat moduli-???? > moduli; mv moduli /etc/moduli
"""

This will take a few days....

@kurtm @kellerfuchs and to be perfectly clear: we coordinated with the original author on our commit in August.

That the author regrets that choice is 1) not our problem, and 2) not our responsibility.

it is completely inappropriate that he singled out #OpenBSD, when e.g. Mikrotik also stealth published before hands.

@kellerfuchs @phessler Or maybe just not moving the goal posts on disclosure? #OpenBSD *did* honor the original embargo. They did not agree to another extension. Even so, they left out parts of the patch that explained it until the extension ended.

buckle up kids, I upgraded our varnish cluster again and get to fight systemd+varnish

last time I did this, I inspired posts on the twitter account "systemd sucks" and part of the book "savaged by systemd".

let's see how destructive it gets this time around!

Got #FreeBSD #mastodon startup scripts to automatically create or upgrade database when needed.. \o/
