Just another geek of the software development variety. Fan of open source operating systems (primarily Debian GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD), over-engineered self hosting, homelabs, retro gaming, and home automation. Collector of vintage Unix workstations and servers, primarily from the Unix Wars period.

Taking a very long break from social media so mostly read-only at the moment, but that may change at some point...

Today's PSA: #XFS v4 filesystems are not supported by #Debian kernel packages 6.18.5 and later so older systems may run into issues. I have a created-in-2011 snowflake VM running -testing that was bitten by this a few months back. For users using stable this will only be an issue with the upgrade to forky (Debian 14), but it's a bit nasty. See: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1126710

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange Haha! As long as our first dance isn't to "Closer", might horrify some wedding guests.

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange Hmm, for the first pretty much any track from The Crystal Method's "Vegas" (an almost perfect album if you like late 90's big beat). For the latter, "All I Need" by Air.

I've never used #OpenBSD's rdomain(4) feature in anger before but I just configured it to ensure all traffic from a specific VLAN exits via a WireGuard tunnel. It's a really elegant solution and foolproof for those cases where you don't ever want traffic exiting via any other route (eg, if the tunnel interface is destroyed). https://man.openbsd.org/rdomain.4 Not the same as my setup but @solene@bsd.network has a useful guide - https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2021-10-09-openbsd-wireguard-exit.html

@tinker@infosec.exchange :) No, systemd is not a thing on any of the BSDs nor will it ever be due to the Linux-isms it contains. bash is available on #OpenBSD, just not part of the base system. FWIW, the "OpenBSD Handbook" is not a recommended resource, it contains mistakes and is very possibly LLM-generated. Use the official documentation and manpages for reference (the latter are available online if you don't yet have a system). @0x09@hachyderm.io

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe Great combo, I miss the Usenet of yore. I was always more of a tin user than an slrn user though... FWIW, one of my favourite online moments was when @SteveBellovin@infosec.exchange replied to a post of mine on one of the NetBSD mailing lists.
