  @oxy@social.bsdlab.au sweet! Feel free to ping me if you’ve got any questions! I can also send some good recorded talks about it later if you’re interested.

  Current status: just annoyed enough with TRAMP to seriously consider X11 forwarding over SSH 🫠 #emacs

  The open internet really is making a comeback IMO. Around 90% of my personal communications now happen over federated networks (mostly Matrix). Blogging has never felt more alive. I subscribe to ~100 RSS feeds. We're all here on the Fediverse, and the UX of clients and the web has improved to the point that it's better than the walled gardens! Heck, I even set up an IRC bridge on my Matrix server last night 😂 Even with all the terrible stuff going on in the world, there's a bri...

  That part of a long journey where you’ve been awake for 24h, and as soon as you drop your bags at your temporary home, you’re like… nein mann ich will noch nicht schlafen 🤣

  RE: https://en.osm.town/@stadiamaps/116674682343517843 OpenStreetMap is unique in terms of the depth of attributes you can add to the graph. We’ve seen so many use cases in routing that wouldn’t be possible without OSM and the way it empowers local communities to map things that are important to THEM. Excited to be talking about this with others this week at Micromobility Europe :)

  Walking down the street and I see posters for one of my favorite DJs! I already saw him live several times in the US, but I think it will be special to see him in his hometown. And the weather is great for some open air dancing… as long as it doesn’t rain too much… Maybe I should get some spare shoes 😅

  Love of word play must be somewhere deep in German DNA 😂 And I find this sort of thing irrationally amusing for some reason.

  My favorite SSG, marmite (which powers my blog) now depends on 99% less external JavaScript! Big shout to @fasterthanlime for the fantastic arborium crate, which we’re using now in Marmite for build-time syntax highlighting. Faster loads, no flicker, and less JS ftw 🚀 https://marmite.blog/marmite-0-3-0-release-notes.html #rust #rustlang

  @happyborg 😂 hahaha nice. Yeah I think you’ll find a nice community of experienced people who like to share on here :) and I’m sure you’ll find others as well in specific communities (e.g. Proxmox). That said, I’m also a much better coder than sysadmin so take everything I say on the subject with a healthy dose of salt 😂

  @happyborg regarding security, I’m curious what you’re thinking there! On the one hand, a host can’t be trusted implicitly. They could for example grab your WireGuard keys if the system isn’t encrypted. On the more extreme end you also have the risk of them inspecting memory on a live system. That’s honestly a lot harder and requires pretty determined actor. So it’s not really an issue in my threat model. Re: things like WireGuard keys and TLS Certs I’m currently using an encrypted volume.

  First of probably many posts about my wacky and wonderful new homelab setup. This is a high level overview of the setup. I’ll cover more specifics later. Maybe interesting if you’re curious about other ways of hosting besides the usual Linux and Docker setup. https://blog.ianwwagner.com/overview-of-my-new-homelab-setup.html #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #HomeLab

  Wow… requested a VPS with @OpenBSDAms this afternoon and 2h later I got an email with the details! Amazing service from a cool project that donates a tremendous amount to the OpenBSD foundation ❤️ Quite excited for my first steps into the OpenBSD world. (Somehow I never used it despite using FreeBSD for so many years.)
