Eva Winterschön<p>🙅 Goodbye Forever OPNsense 🙅</p><p>It displeases me to finally and heartily say GTFO to OPNsense; to abandon a solid decade of use.</p><p>I've had it on everything from embedded arm64 experiments to baremetal with ranges of 10, 25, 40, and 100GbE NICs. I've used all of the core features, built complex global service meshes, H/A systems, etc. I used to love it. I used to pay for it.</p><p>OPNsense was great, until it wasn't (starting around the time they axed their use of HardenedBSD), and with each release it gets more convoluted, out of date, tedious to debug, and generally a source of disappointment. The command line controls are anemic, inconsistent, and the lack of unified and useful system state tracking is a source of sailor level obscenities. Also, dear gods get rid of XML configs, no one can parse it without going blind! What is this, SOAP and XML-RPC era nonsense, really? 😠</p><p>I do not have time to waste, and I do not say that lightly.</p><p>I am never debugging OPNsense ever again, especially not for four hours on a (yesterday) Saturday, and especially not putting off updates in a colo for TWO YEARS because their team decided to break admin group SSH controls, hamper CARP flapping controls, breaking IPMI fencing, and the list goes on. I am done.</p><p>What now? Three realistic options.</p><p>1) BSD Router Project: I've built custom BSD-RP releases with Poudriere, loved just about everything it offers. <br>2) VyOS: configurable via CLI in a fraction of the time that was wasted on debugging OPNsense. Solid product, enjoying it more every day.<br>3) OpenWRT: I build custom releases for NanoPi and Meraki rooted WAPs and SOHO boxes, it's fun, though it's not running my 100G infra.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/opnsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opnsense</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bsd</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freebsd</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>networking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>engineering</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a></p>

/// Some apps for secure and anonymous communication and file-sharing ///

Inform your friends and family about these tools.

#Briar ... https://briarproject.org

"Censorship-resistant peer-to-peer messaging that bypasses centralized servers. Connect via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Tor, with privacy built-in."

#Retroshare ... https://retroshare.cc

"Retroshare establish encrypted connections between you and your friends to create a network of computers, and provides various distributed services on top of it: forums, channels, chat, mail... Retroshare is fully decentralized, and designed to provide maximum security and anonymity to its users beyond direct friends. Retroshare is entirely free and open-source software. It is available on #Android, #Linux, #MacOS and #Windows. There are no hidden costs, no ads and no terms of service."

#RicochetRefresh ... https://www.ricochetrefresh.net

"Ricochet Refresh is an open-source project to allow private and anonymous instant messaging."

#OnionShare ... https://onionshare.org

"OnionShare is an open-source tool that lets you securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network."

#DeltaChat ... https://delta.chat

"Delta Chat is a decentralized and secure messenger app."

#Bitmessage ... https://bitmessage.org

"Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs."

#TorBrowser ... https://www.torproject.org/download

"Protect yourself against tracking, surveillance, and censorship."

#I2P ... https://geti2p.net

"The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is a fully encrypted private network layer. It protects your activity and location. Every day people use the network to connect with people without worry of being tracked or their data being collected. In some cases people rely on the network when they need to be discrete or are doing sensitive work."

#Hyphanet ... https://www.hyphanet.org/

"Hyphanet is peer-to-peer network for censorship-resistant and privacy-respecting publishing and communication. The original Freenet."

#BitChan ... https://github.com/813492291816/BitChan

"BitChan is a decentralized anonymous imageboard inspired by BitBoard and built on top of Bitmessage with Tor, I2P, and GnuPG."

#DarkMX ... https://darkmx.app

"DarkMX is a new decentralized communication app that utilizes Tor hidden services to allow you to easily have an anonymous, reliable, and censorship-resistant presence on the internet. You can chat. You can share files. You can search other people's files. You can keep a contact list and send private messages to your friends. You can create your own custom .onion site, available to anyone with a Tor Browser."

Anyone especially knowledgeable about #Linux #networking and willing to lend me a hand?

This is a bit outside of my usual content, so I'm looking for someone to answer a couple questions about KVM and bridging re: a specific rack server I have.

Hoping to stand up a few tools for organizing. It used to be set up properly, but I've actually forgot how I did it and those old VMs got nuked. 😅

And it just seems faster to ask, while I'm fighting with it.

Boosts appreciated.

Danke an die über 50 Personen, die an der Umfrage zum Teilen von Bildern im Fediverse teilgenommen und diese verbreitet haben ❤︎

Das Resultat fiel ziemlich klar pro Pixelfed aus:
19% "Bilder einfach hier auf Mastodon teilen"
81% "Mastodon + Pixelfed parallel nutzen"

(chaos.social/@cestpasirene/115)

Nun suche ich noch eine geeignete Instanz. Wenn ihr bereits auf einer seid, verlinkt gerne eure Accounts unter diesem Post.

chaos.socialIrène Unholz (@cestpasirene@chaos.social)Um endlich von #Instagram wegzukommen, folgende Frage. Fahre ich mit zwei Accounts im Fediverse doppelt oder ist es für die unterschiedlichen Verwendungszwecke sogar eher sinnvoll? #BoycottInstagram #Meta #Pixelfed #Mastodon #Fediverse #Umfrage #FediHelp [ ] Bilder einfach hier auf Mastodon teilen [ ] Mastodon + Pixelfed parallel nutzen

Netcat, often called the “TCP/IP Swiss Army Knife,” is more than a simple utility. It can open raw sockets, transfer files, act as a backdoor, or even serve as a quick chat server between machines. Many sysadmins used it for debugging, while hackers saw it as an easy way to pivot or establish command shells. With just a few commands, you could set up a listener on one side and instantly connect from another, making it feel almost magical in its simplicity. Even decades later, its versatility and lightweight design keep it relevant for both troubleshooting and exploitation.
