For this #ThankYouTuesday, I want to express my gratitude to SDF.org.

This long-standing community, thriving and healthy, is built on #NetBSD.

Many years ago (I’d have to dig through old emails, but it’s definitely over 20 years), I reached out to them for advice on setting up a public access server (which I ended up not doing). They were incredibly kind and provided me with a wealth of information.
They are also present in the Fediverse - @SDF - showing that they are always keeping up with the times and looking toward the future.

Long live SDF, and thank you for everything!

OK folk answer me this. Why as a constant #Linux user since the early 90's do I keep leaning towards #BSD ? Yeah I'm going to use it on my homelab but i keep yearning for it to be my daily driver too. Is it an age thing and if so does this happen to most Linux users in later life ? I feel like Eve wanting to taste the forbidden fruit if that makes any sense at all ? 😂

For many years, my mobile devices have automatically connected via Wireguard to my external OpenBSD VPS when I'm away from home. It's typically configured to route only my main VPNs (allowing remote intervention if necessary) and to set the DNS, similar to what I've described here: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2023/04/03/make-your-own-vpn-wireguard-ipv6-and-ad-blocking-included/

The goal is to have complete access to my networks and to use DNS that filters out unwanted content and ads.

It works very well, and the browsing experience is optimal.

In Dublin, I decided to route all traffic through that VPS. Since I often connect to open Wi-Fi networks (in hotels, at conferences, in pubs, etc.), I preferred to keep everything active. Moreover, at that point, I was still appearing to websites with my Italian IP, which reduced issues with streaming, etc.

Everything worked perfectly, and I didn't notice any significant increase in battery consumption. The hotel had all Ruckus equipment (with excellent Wi-Fi coverage), while the conference used Cisco, and the coverage there was also generally good.

The Wireguard implementation on OpenBSD has proven to be, as always, extremely stable and reliable.

300 is quite a nice number 😎 😉 🎉

Thank you @stefano and congratulations! 🙌

Welcome to the official snac instance of the IT Notes blog by Stefano Marinelli (@stefano)!

This instance and account are dedicated to the automatic publication of new blog articles, similar to an RSS feed but on the #Fediverse.

I decided to create a dedicated instance because #snac is small and efficient, and it supports pledge and unveil on #OpenBSD, exponentially increasing security - a perfect setup for my @OpenBSDAms VM.

In the coming days, I will publish an article on how I manage everything, including the small program created specifically for this purpose, which can also be used for other solutions/purposes.

Follow this account if you want to stay updated on the blog's news.
