I use it as an IPSec replacement for a site-to-site tunnel and to provide my phone a VPN connection to my home network. Wireguard is much easier to set up than either IPSec or OpenVPN, and seems to outperform at least the latter.

AWS and GCP most likely use their own proprietary stuff. Various storage systems (such as Netapp) are able to provide snapshots at the storage system level, and if you're interested in something open source, a Ceph cluster can also pro

This is sadly the case with lots of Linux tools, but it's not really man's fault. Next time you need help with a UNIX tool, try reading the OpenBSD man page instead and see how it compares.

Looking back, it seems to me that the maintainer was/is in dire need of a vacation. It's easy to become dismissive when you're stressed and burnt out. There even is an issue filed in August where he recognized that he needs h

They don't really store your passwords, just an encrypted blob that's openable with your master password (more accurately, a key that is derived from it using an expensive operation so that brute-forcing is unfeasible.) You do ne

My personal view is that being polite is what a decent person does until the other party starts abusing it. In short, be polite and understanding by default but don't be a pushover.

But if you run your containers on GKE you are a sysadmin. The system might not be a traditional UNIXy one, but there are still elements you need to take care of that aren't just application development: Do your containers have securi

Well, I still had to manually exclude the kernel every time I wanted to update other packages. It's a minor issue, but an annoying one.

The price wasn't my primary concern; I got the APU because I wanted a system that's as close to fully open as you can get. Any x86 machine with decent NICs should work, however. The non-x86 alternatives I don't have much expe

I've been experiencing similar exhaustion, and the problem is that even after your workload goes away, the effects may linger. Recently I've managed to turn things around for myself by nearly eliminating carbohydrates from my diet

I can recommend building your own OpenBSD router. Installing OpenBSD is easy, and once you have it installed the base system contains everything you need to set up a router along with excellent documentation for everything. OpenBSD people

Arch is not an easy distro to use even if you know what you're doing. Every Arch user essentially creates their own distribution which can break at any point depending on their particular environment. You need to take care of all the l

I ran a ZFS file server and VM host for years with 6GB of RAM. It'll work fine, just don't use dedup.

How would it be gone? You can't rebase onto a dirty working directory so you can't blow away uncommitted changes accidentally and any state prior to and during the rebase is always recoverable via the reflog. It takes trying to

I feel like the concept of an MVP is often abused. It shouldn't be a thing that somehow works with bubblegum and luck; it should still be "solid". The point ought to be to leave out features , not quality.

waypipe works with single applications just fine. There are some rough edges but as far as I can tell it already works at least as well as remote X ever did.

"Juostaankohammekohaan" is not right. It should probably be either "juoksemmekohan" "I wonder if we will run" or "juostaankohan" "I wonder if it will be run" (passive voice). The frequentati

What does OpenBSD have to do with FreeNAS? Or did you just mean unfriendly behaviour in general. What I've noticed about the OpenBSD mailing lists is that while people are generally decent and helpful if you show that you put at least

I look forward to the day that someone pulls the rug from under Nvidia like AMD did to Intel. I'm not sure if it will happen, or when, but damn would it be satisfying.

Heh, connecting to serial terminals is the only reason I even have screen installed nowadays. I wish there were a port of cu to Linux, but I haven't come across one yet.

I am not being dismissive. If you provide functionality that allows the user to delete something without actually deleting it, what's the point of pretending that you can delete things? Usually when people want to delete commits, it&#x

I'm not sure I understand. How could removing a commit from the history not be a destructive operation? It would necessarily affect every commit after it, hashes or no hashes, because for each commit following, the state of the tree wo

I think the reason for why the commit hash has to change is that a commit represents the entire state of a repository, not just the change made in the commit. Being able to take a sequence of commits and insert them into a repository just i

git checkout puts files from the repository into your working directory. For convenience, it will also update the HEAD ref if you check out the full contents of a branch. I'm not sure what's so confusing about it. Are people think

I've used clusterssh in the past, but nowadays Ansible is simply a better choice. clusterssh is rather brittle. I don't much like Ansible either (I have opinions about using YAML as a programming language), but for ad-hoc mainte

I think that would still count as just conspiracy to commit murder. Not a good thing to do by any means, but not everyone follows through on their plans, so it's a lesser crime. An attempt likely requires an actual failed attack again

In what way is cracking a password hash an invasion of privacy? The act itself is completely harmless and legal; it is only a problem if you use said password to actually access the person's systems. It is also part of the hacker cultu
