Running Your Own AS: BGP on FreeBSD with FRR, GRE Tunnels, and Policy Routing How I obtained my own AS number and IPv6 prefix, set up a FreeBSD BGP router with FRR, and built a tunnel overlay to bring globally routable addresses to servers that already have provider-assigned...

Still better then in container ;)

It’s the first time I’ve heard about Rumble.

Well… #FreeBSD isn’t the penguin.

You can sleep peacefully now. 🙂

A few years ago, companies protected their source code at all costs - security, paranoia.
Today: upload everything to two companies because they have an LLM.

#Security evolves.

Amazing website for testing SSL certificates: badssl.com - thank you for it!

Another Git tip I learned this week.

I was tired of a file (e.g. package-lock) flooding me with changes I didn’t want to commit.

git update-index --skip-worktree package-lock.json

This makes it silent. Once and for... until you need it back:
git update-index --no-skip-worktree package-lock.json

Hey OPNsense, out of curiosity, have you already switched to PKGBASE?

New theory: developers aren’t destroying your codebase. Deadlines are. Thoughts?

Another usage that came to my mind is switching between private and public repos (for example in poudriere or other build systems).

Put it in ~/.gitconfig (or /etc/gitconfig system-wide).

This rewrites HTTPS GitHub URLs to SSH before connecting.

org - Overview org has 9 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

Small Git tip I found while exploring #GitHub

This config line:

```
[url "git@github.com:org/"]
insteadOf = github.com/org/
```

Today I was tasked with finding a niche operating system, and I came across Fuchsia - Google’s “general-purpose, modern, open-source operating system.”

That’s a story worth sharing.

Well, I guess I’ve built my own KVM :)

Hello, my old new friend.

Dear all,

triggering another AWS Lambda on success or failure only works with asynchronous invocations.

Thanks,

I love open source. If a function is missing, you can simply add it yourself.

Home Check end-of-life, support schedule, and release timelines for more than 380+ products at one place.

I love that somebody took the time to do this Sisyphean work of collecting the EoL dates for all major open-source software. Check it out: endoflife.date

I like to play with languages. Recently, I tested #Rust, and I must say it's one of those languages that could be a game changer - as a replacement for C++. However, I've also noticed a new rising star: #Zig. Maybe it's time to play with it as well...

GitHub - AlchemillaHQ/Sylve: Lightweight GUI for managing Bhyve, Jails, ZFS, networking, and more on FreeBSD Lightweight GUI for managing Bhyve, Jails, ZFS, networking, and more on FreeBSD - AlchemillaHQ/Sylve

I just learned about this interesting project sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation: a GUI for managing bhyve, aiming to be a BSD alternative to Proxmox.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI Duolingo is making some AI-focused changes.

Sticking with the topic of Duolingo, it seems that it's yet another company adopting an 'AI-first' approach.

Good, free, fun: The simple formula that has made Duolingo a daily habit for millions Perhaps no app has mastered user loyalty quite like Duolingo, the gamified language-learning platform 34 million people a day can't put down.

Good, free, fun: The simple formula that has made Duolingo a daily habit for millions Perhaps no app has mastered user loyalty quite like Duolingo, the gamified language-learning platform 34 million people a day can't put down.

Can you learn a new language using only Duolingo? I just read an article claiming plenty of people have done exactly that—thanks solely to Duolingo. I haven’t used it in ages, but when I did, it was just a fun way to play with words and pick up a few new ones. What’s your take?

Friendly reminder: strive to create more and consume less.
