Make Your Own CDN With OpenBSD Base and Just 2 Packages

Good. After a small grub modification (about cgroups - I don't know how related it could be) the interface name changed from enx3e3300c9e14e to enp10s0f0np0
enx3e3300c9e14e - is this a sane default Linux network interface name?
Drafting my next blog post:
"The internet today relies TOO MUCH on just a few big players. When one of them stops working, half the world is impacted because too many services, in my opinion, depend on them.
“Too big to fail,” some might say.
“Single Point of Failure,” I respond."
Ready for the #EuroBSDCon2024 !
For some strange reason, I've discovered that my profile picture isn't visible to users on the bsd.network instance. There are no issues from other instances, so I'm looking into it. If anyone on other instances can’t see my picture, please let me know so I can investigate further. Thanks!
Email received a few days ago: "We need to know which version of SSH is installed on the server, as we want to ensure it is not vulnerable to external attacks." My response: "Don’t worry, SSH is accessible ONLY via VPN, and I am the only one with access to that VPN—activated only when needed—so there is no way for there to be any issues, regardless of the version used."
Email received this morning: "We’re not interested; you must provide the SSH version installed and, if it's not the latest, ensure us of the update date."
My response: "Sorry, could you explain the rationale? SSH is not exposed, it’s not listening on any public IP."
Their reply: "Provide the version."
My response: "OpenSSH_9.7, LibreSSL 3.9.0, on OpenBSD."
Their reply: "This is not considered secure. It must be OpenSSH_9.2p1 Debian-2+deb12u3."
My response: "It’s not Debian; it’s OpenBSD."
Their reply: "So the systems are insecure."
And they claim to be a cybersecurity company...

The Crowdstrike situation reminds me of Henry Ford's famous saying: "What doesn’t exist can’t break."
Maybe we should get used to increasing security by *removing* components and layers, rather than adding more.
Half blue, half blue
Can you hear it? Look better and I’m sure you will hear it.

Tonight, my wife and I were watching some videos from the Glastonbury concert. Shortly after, I showed her the stunning photos shared by @Glastomichelle and we decided that as soon as we have the chance, we’ll visit those places. The Fediverse works better than a travel agency!
Just received one of those phone calls that makes me both sad and angry. A long-time client is migrating their resources to the "cloud" because "internal infrastructure (leased from a provider, not in their offices) is no longer sustainable." They believe they can solve all issues of updates, security, and implementation by outsourcing everything to closed services, cloud, or SaaS, and reducing investment in personnel. A few interns, cloud or SaaS services, and business is "worry-free."
I warned them to keep an off-site copy of their data, have a disaster recovery plan ready, and remember that their clients tend to cause damage and delete data, and their developers tend to break websites during updates. But all of this is underestimated because "the cloud is the solution."
Unfortunately, they've been swayed by the enticing advertisements from companies that promise everything without worries. Sadly, I know they'll get hurt, and it makes me sad, but there's not much I can do at this point.
This has been (and still is) a very special week. The past 7 days have been emotionally (and, to a lesser extent, work-wise) very challenging. And even when I'm tired, I realize that, in my opinion, I have the best job in the world. Because working with open-source tools provides everyone with the same opportunities, in the most open and free manner possible. Few fields offer the same conditions, and I feel like I belong to a great group, a group of passionate and constructive people, without any distinctions of any kind.

This photo is over 12 years old. In the evenings of June, I used to relax in the garden to enjoy the sunset. He would come and keep me company. He from the wall, me from the deckchair, we silently enjoyed the peaceful countryside sunset together. Once the sun disappeared, he would come to say goodbye and leave. It was an almost daily ritual that went on for years.

Friends of the #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse, have a great day!
And remember that today is #MeerMittwoch - #SeaWednesday - the day of the Sea!
For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to thank @gyptazy
His BSD Pub is a weekly event of great interest to me, managed with precision and a will to create a true and solid community, in the pure spirit of the BSD Cafe idea.
Additionally, yesterday he helped me with some insights regarding the latest article on my blog, preventing potential questions that might have arisen.
So, thank you for everything!
