Yes, I&#39;m running it at my own risk. And so far? Absolutely rock solid!<br/><br/>Some highlights:<br/>- Tighter security: ptrace restricted by default<br/>- Fresh dev stack: Python 3.15, GCC 16.2 &amp; Go 1.27<br/>- kmscon replaces the legacy kernel console<br/>- RPM package signatures enforced by default<br/><br/>Great work, <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1hpwuqgk7w8cfcuyrjk7pwcl3gf652ssgnq8ylfmh3av489tuhl6q9qcd0d" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Fedora Project</span> (<span class="italic">npub1hpw…cd0d</span>)</a></span> team! ❤️<br/><br/>#Fedora #FedoraLinux #KDE #Linux #OpenSource<br/> <img src="https://media.burningboard.net/media_attachments/files/117/512/535/716/818/573/original/6b35acdd86c0ff92.png"> <br/> 2026-10-27T11:04:21Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdm2gpzrjmupvg43j4cxfx20k0c80vnterr8danvyxhtzs2w0qquqzypxttjsh7wrxq5mngmht9m3qd9pt82yhaz9gd2ky7x32scz9hynnkvdhe87 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs025pj3s8ssl3fcgpacw8kkc0w8p446gdjr3hkdzz4wjpt240q5tsctuahy'>nevent1q…uahy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Follow-up from today&#39;s #MastoAdmin session 🛠️<br/><br/>Our monitoring and search backends got some love too:<br/>• Patched, and they now monitor themselves<br/>• Dead man&#39;s switch: Prometheus -&gt; Alertmanager -&gt; Uptime Kuma, so we notice if monitoring itself dies<br/>• Found an MTU black hole: our VXLAN allows 1332, FreeBSD guests sat at 1500.

After a package cleanup, the mail configuration pointed to a CA certificate file that no longer existed. It&#39;s fixed now.<br/><br/>If you were waiting for a confirmation or password reset mail, please just request it again. Sorry about that!<br/><br/>Tonight we&#39;re repacking the database (pg_repack) to get rid of bloat. You shouldn&#39;t notice anything.<br/><br/>Thanks for your patience, and enjoy your weekend! 💚<br/><br/>#MastoAdmin #FreeBSD 2026-10-24T10:00:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd3lryv7lnh7ncrtvfal70z48rcjpzuprnyhljvhlf7p03q6qa6cqzypxttjsh7wrxq5mngmht9m3qd9pt82yhaz9gd2ky7x32scz9hynnk52t6me In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw3uu624fmfmwal6s9fklf6t4lj7fqxwudw6m6ykt74jx8czqmp0cnsn377'>nevent1q…n377</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>2/3 Also done today:<br/><br/>Checked the Node.js October security release (Brotli CVE-2026-111497). Our streaming server never decompresses untrusted Brotli data, so the risk is low. We&#39;ll update as soon as the FreeBSD package is out.<br/><br/>The streaming server now properly verifies the database&#39;s TLS certificate.<br/><br/>Rewrote our rc.d scripts the way rc.subr intends: supervisor pidfile, automatic restart after a crash, and &#34;service restart&#34; works on the first try.

Modern IPv6 of course, always was a routed end-to-end connection.<br/><br/>It&#39;s time that we finally leave that legacy IP crap behind at some point .. le sigh.<br/><br/>#blog #ipv4 #ipv6 #networking #firewall<br/> <img src="https://media.burningboard.net/media_attachments/files/116/584/907/418/243/633/original/6707e957bf6fa6c8.png"> <br/> 2026-05-16T15:17:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspccvamqdfcu57h3ldxll09xrclunx7skyq6tc44zxzu53geu4p9gzypxttjsh7wrxq5mngmht9m3qd9pt82yhaz9gd2ky7x32scz9hynnkwg2mdy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfl9sh7eq0hygdv37cy97kypxqwq5kzdh47dz60m23g5sflymtv8g6rkxyf'>nevent1q…kxyf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you open a trains detail view, then you see it‘s journeys history and see how punctual it was at the previous stops.

Das ist ein systematisches Problem.<br/><br/>Der Mieter ist gleich doppelt der Gelackmeierte, denn er muss den Energieträger letztlich hinnehmen, den der Markt ihm anbietet, und er muss am Ende des Tages die Rechnung auch irgendwie bezahlen.<br/><br/>#warmewende #Energiewende #FossileEnergien #heizen #Klimagerechtigkeit #depol 2026-03-03T15:39:28Z
