On call week is finally over: I'm so fuckin' tired.

Wanted to give OpenBSD a try but don't have a machine or time to set up a VPS?

There are a bunch of people in Poland running 6.1 and giving away free shells - perfect way to dip your toes in the OpenBSD ecosystem.

Being on call means drink *a lot* of coffee (much more than usual) and curse the phone every time that it rings in the middle of the night.

You know instance admins can read your direct messages in the fediverse? Twitter and Facebook also can - and sometimes do - read your private messages, and they have infrastructure to comply with law enforcement requests. I'd love to see some end-to-end encryption built into Mastodon clients.

About risk profile:

- Mastodon is like email because you can't delete federated toots
- Mastodon is like twitter in that Google's search bots index it, unless your admins robot.txt it away
- Mastodon is like being a teenager because the people that own your instance can see all your private stuff

Have a talk with your admin about their policies.

By default, assume everyone will be able to read your toots forever.

Another day, another ME:A crash. Damn.

Having networks with no or known passwords on auto-join lets attackers in your vicinity MitM you.

Wrote a short script to remove non-whitelisted networks on macOS. Cleaned up over 300 SSIDs on my machine.
