  Large website in the Alexa 500: can't hold that Mastodon traffic yo :flan_nooo: My blog at @OpenBSDAms@mastodon.bsd.cafe with the same traffic: hold my beer :flan_beer: Yes. That happened.

  Heartfelt thank you to everyone whom was at EuroBSDCon - including the stream viewers. It was a blast. And still, couldn't talk to everyone whom I wanted to talk to and give everyone the attention they deserve. You all rock. Really. See you next year in Bratislava, through the pipe at Exquisite.tube or through whatever communication channel :flan_heart: #EuroBSDCon #EuroBSDCon26

  I just got an email from the Belastingdienst (Dutch tax authority). Apparenttly they have switched mail providers, as they were mailing me from a hotmail address :flan_XD:

  If you are #selfhosting / #homelabbing: you have my utmost respect. Do not trust other parties to have your back - because they don't. However, few words to the wise: if you operate a minimalist setup - eg everything running in VMs on a single host: please do consider the consequences of downtime. You probably don't want to run your critical services on one machine without a fallback. If those services include your smarthome foundation, DNS and firewalling: you don't want to troubl...

  Today I received an email from Supermicro that they've released new BMC firmware and a BIOS for some systems I subscribed to. Nothing special. That is, until I noticed what machine was listed. Introduced late 2015/early 2016 :flan_awe: I have never purchased whatever support. Both Supermicro and Dell work this way. HPE does not. They require you to have overzealous support agreements, costing an arm and a leg. No agreement, no BIOS updates for you :flan_nooo: In most cases, companies...

  Our #Peertube instance, Exquisite.tube runs v8.2.1 since this morning. Normally we tend to be quicker with rolling out updates. However, there was some background work going on in forking and customizing the update script - which I will attempt to upstream. There are some security patches included. The vulnerabilities did not apply to us or were already mitigated using different means. After this plumbing is done, the next step is to scale up our transcoding capabilities. It should be ready,...

  GrapheneOS, the mobile Android OS geared towards security and privacy without consessions, is at Android 17. It is now in the beta channel, there will likely follow another build shortly that makes it to the stable channel. The team did a fantastic job porting over so quickly and meticously. I have been running the experimental releases on a Pixel 9 Pro and a Pixel 7 and it has been smooth sailing. #GrapheneOS #Android #Security #Privacy

  @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @outofcreativity@exquisite.social Nice! We have played a (minor) part into getting it ready for #OpenBSD, by giving the devs access to some compute - which resulted in a commit spree that I hadn't seen before. They are incredibly kind, humble and knowledgeable.

  @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe But surely Svetlana, who wants to sign up because the community might appreciate her erotic content, isn't exactly what BSD Cafe is about It isn't? You mean I have been wrong this entire time thinking it actually was a misspelled BSDM Cafe? So... What is this BSD thing? :flan_XD: (sorry I will show myself out now)

  Oh right. Ofcourse Bitlocker encryption can be bypassed with a mere thumbdrive. If you MUST use Windows, then at least Veracrypt that shit. #Windows #Security #Bitlocker #FDE #Disk #Encryption #Bypass

  Hi folks! I would love to hear about the non-standard physical #homelab #selfhosting security measures you've taken. From alarms to boobytraps, from customized IKEA boxes to reinforced closets. The crazier the better! One requirement: you need to have it implemented (at some point in the past or currently). No concepts that never left the design table please.

  Hey fellow #OpenBSD crowd :flan_coffee: I am worried about @tedu@honk.tedunangst.com - can't get a hold of him, last CVS commits were somewhere 2025, no Fedi activity, websites down, etc. Just wanted to make sure he is okay, regardless of the reason for being inactive.
