I got into Linux at school (mid 90ies) and immediately loved it. My first #BSD was #OpenBSD 2.5 and I run that for a while. Over the years I experimented with #FreeBSD and finally stuck at #DragonFlyBSD where I am also a committer.

Nowadays, my business systems have to run Linux while all my personal devices run #OpenBSD. Our wireless support In Dfly sucks :/

The Tor Project @torproject@mastodon.social

Last month, members of CCC testified in German parliament about the importance of anonymity tools in technopolitics: "Encryption & anonymization services such as Tor are fundamental for secure communication & protection of information from unauthorized access. For people affected by repression or surveillance, it's essential that encryption methods and anonymization services are neither weakened nor provided with backdoors."

I've written a note about setting up a #WireGuard® VPN on an #OpenBSD machine with routing domains to isolate the VPN from its hosting network: https://codimd.laas.fr/s/NMc3qt5PQ

Probably the coolest, most nerdy frontend to OpenStreetMap:

$ telnet mapscii.me

(Use arrow keys to move, and a/z to zoom in/zoom out)

I made some adjustments to my sandbox applications on #OpenBSD article.

* Mention {cron,at}.deny to disallow cronjobs and atrun jobs for unprivileged users
* More on disk space limiting
* Upstream abandoned xodo, so I cloned the repo and linked it in the article
