  Returning readers will remember my "Eighteen years of greytrapping" piece (https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html or tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/08/eighteen-years-of-greytrapping-is.html, and may also remember that it has numbers and graphs. It's now been more like 19 years of the activity, and the numbers and graphs are refreshed as of end of July. #spam #antispam #spamd #openbsd #greylisting #greytrapping #security #cybercrime #cybersecurity...

  Those who read my stuff at https://bsdly.blogspot.com (ie the tracked site) will hopefully be pleased with the new look which I think offers better readability. New stuff and most of the useful older things will still be available without trackers at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/blogposts/, of course.

  We are very close to a new OpenBSD release. "You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks." https://nxdomain.no/~peter/openbsd_installed_now_for_the_daily_tasks.html can help you prepare for the upgrade. If you are using exim as your MTA (or any other non-base system MTA), "OpenSMTPD Is The Mail Server For The Future" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/time_for_opensmtpd.html contains useful pointers for a better mail future. #openbsd #newrelease #openbsd79 #opensmtpd #email...

  Yes, world+dog (or at least a subset that lives in the annoyingly big cloud providers' IP ranges) is scanning for Wordpress instances where they are not to be found. What do *you* do about those?

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@pitrh/116466172425989791 For your nerdy Sunday reading pleasure: RFC1149 was actually implemented and tested, 25 years ago in Bergen, Norway. My laptop was pinged via carrier pigeon. This article is based on notes collected soon after the event.
