Hello everyone, this seems like a great place to be, I'm a long time sysadmin, more and more focused on Free and OpenBsd. Just wanted to say hi, community seems great here!
My for/from/form finger dyslexia also means it's really hard to work with terraform all day. :(
Eh, I'll leave the typo. I have no idea why I always mess up 'for' and 'from'. My fingers get out of sync, I guess.
Who didn't even notice it until now?
Finally enough relief for $DAYJOB to have the energy to update some ports I am supposed to maintain.
Ok. Services restored. Now what the hell was the original problem I was trying to fix before the dominoes fell?
Even the light censor in my office is getting in on the harassment, refusing to acknowledge my existence and shutting the lights off.
Today was supposed to be my less stressful day of the last 3 months.
Why is it always when I am frantically trying to fix a down service, Firefox decides to stop loading web pages. Now it won't even shut down.
Oh good. Firefox is sorry it was crashing and burning. That helps.
Another case of someone else finding a vulnerability that was already under embargo?
So, I plan to write a personal blog post about my thoughts on Full Disclosure versus "Responsible" Disclosure.
Spoiler alert: I'm in favor of Full Disclosure.
Only took 3 hours to convince support to install a new hard drive. Which then took 5 minutes.
Looks like a failed hard drive on the server.
Bummer. My server crashed in the night and I can't get to my email. CopperheadOS is defunct. And it's freezing in my office. What else awaits me this day?
#OpenBSD has *never* intentionally violated an Embargo.
There were two incidents with OpenSSL, where they said "wait for the commits", we saw N-1/N commits, and committed all of them. Unintentional mistake.
Other was Krack Attacks, where we had written permission to commit.
Sixel graphics with xterm VT340 emulation! Managing photos over ssh has been this easy for how many decades? :-O
Why isn't there a thriving app-ecosystem around this tech? Why did I not stumble into this sooner? Aaaa!
Also, hiring sysadmin/ops to help me. Who wants some of this? Huh?👍
Started dozing off on the couch at 7:30 last night. Was in bed by 8:30 and still slept through my alarm this morning at 6.
I'm #overworked a little bit...
Why does AWS make everything so much harder?
We already have the technology to make this work on my desktop. Stop reimplementing everything poorly and just do that.
