events.eurobsdcon.orgNetwork Management with the OpenBSD Packet Filter Toolset EuroBSDCon 2025The OpenBSD Packet Filter (PF) is at the core of the network management toolset available to professionals working with the OpenBSD and FreeBSD operating systems. Understanding the PF subsystem and the set of networking tools that interact with it is essential to building and maintaining a functional environment. The present session will both teach networking and security principles and provide opportunity for hands-on operation of the extensive network tools available on OpenBSD and FreeBSD in a lab environment. Basic to intermediate understanding of TCP/IP networking is expected and required for this session. Topics covered include The basics of and network design and taking it a bit further Building rulesets Keeping your configurations readable and maintainable Seeing what your traffic is really about with your friend tcpdump(8) Filtering, diversion, redirection, Network Address Translation Handling services that require proxying (ftp-proxy and others) Address tables and daemons that interact with your setup through them The whys and hows of network segmentation, DMZs and other separation techniques Tackling noisy attacks and other pattern recognition and learning tricks Annoying spammers with spamd Basics of and not-so basic traffic shaping Monitoring your traffic Resilience, High Availability with CARP and pfsync Troubleshooting: Discovering and correcting errors and faults (tcpdump is your friend) Your network and its interactions with the Internet at large Common mistakes in internetworking and peering Keeping the old IPv4 world in touch with the new of IPv6 The tutorial is lab centered and fast paced. Time allowing and to the extent necessary, we will cover recent developments in the networking tools and variations between the implementations in the OpenBSD and FreeBSD operating systems. Participants should bring a laptop for the hands on labs part and for note taking. The format of the session will be compact lectures interspersed with hands-on lab excercises based directly on the theory covered in the lecture parts. This session is an evolutionary successor to previous sessions. Slides for the most recent version of the PF tutorial session are up at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/pf_fullday.pdf, to be updated with the present version when the session opens.

Avec l'été j'ai lu L’Éloge du Bug de Marcello Vitali-Rossati. Comme je suis un gros geek barbu avec Linux sur ses PC et que je partage une partie de son analyse bien sûûûûr que j'ai trouvé ça intéressant et que je recommande.

Sauf si vous êtes exaspéré par les gens qui vous disent "Non mais c'est normal que ça fonctionne pas tout de suite, parce qu'il faut prendre le temps de lire la documentation et se poser des questions." ou "Free software comme dans free people et pas free beer." parce que c'est le coeur de son argumentaire. Mais on y apprend des trucs.

Welp, the latest @thunderbird update has broken my ability to send work emails (and yes, it's definitely the update that's caused it not anything else - on my work inbox it's giving timeouts on all emails since the update, and I checked by updating it on another computer which triggered the exact same bug).

So I hope they fix that soon or I'll have to find another email client which would be a pain :(

Richard Stallman ruined my computing. I want to thank him for it.

When I moved my computing to GNU+Linux in February I still didn’t have a clue about the change of thinking that was coming for me in the next six months. And, frankly, I’ve got Richard Stallman to thank for that. Once I began tapping into his many articles and speeches, my entire understanding of my personal computing shifted to the degree...

Let’s talk about payment freedom and real choice. App developers shouldn’t be forced to choose Apple Pay or an alternative—why not both?
Real freedom means letting users decide how to pay.
We think there’s a better way...
