I was going to use XSLT to convert between two configuration files, just for the lulz.
But then I looked at the XSLT examples and smiled no more.

GeoIP-Aware Firewalling with PF on FreeBSD
My mail server now filters client ports by geography - SMTP stays global, but IMAP only accepts connections from Central Europe.
Result: 90% fewer brute-force attempts.

#Haiku OS Pulls In Updated Drivers From FreeBSD 15
One of the biggest untold lies in the gaming industry is that people apparently think that the Switch is based on freeBSD and that the Switch 2 runs a different OS.
They run the same OS, but it’s not based on freeBSD at all. It only uses a couple of BSD modules.

Hmm.. looks like the quarterly pkg repo on 14.x freebsd is having issues. Getting some constraint violations with the sqlite3 database on a pkg update even when forcing or deleting them. Ended up switching to latest on this box. (ARM AWS instance)

Anyone here tried using a Dasung e-ink monitor for development work? I'm considering buying one so I can use my Framework laptop outside (the LCD panel is only really good enough for cloudy days or shade). # dasung # eink # linux # freebsd # monitors

I can't tell if this is a bot, or an actual FreeBSD nerd somewhere in Switzerland who stubbornly refuses to update to a Firefox newer than 3.6.8 because it breaks their setup and they would need to recompile the kernel or something

I like it. Its more polished than FluxBox and BackBox that I used to use extensively back in the day. I'm currently running it on my #FreeBSD system (and KDE5 on Slackware Stable)

갑자기 리눅스 플로우가 왜
현재 저의 컴퓨터 생활은 90%이 리눅스/freeBSD(라고쓰고OSX라읽음) 이라 딱히 위화감 제로인데
리눅스는 크래시 안 난다는 게 장점이고요
진입 장벽이 높지만 익숙해지면 편합니다
커널 해킹해가며 하드하게 쓸 수도 있고
그냥 이쁜 그놈(Gnome) 테마 깔면서 터미널로 활용할 수도 있어요
게임기로는 좀 황입니다만
