@netbsd

@kagyu_midtsveen thank you!

@justine 😄😂

@stefano This should definitely be sent in to The Register for the On Call section.

@stefano Should close ports 80 and 443, while you're at it. Also, 25, 110, 143, 465, 587, and 2525. Oh, and 53.

@rqm been there, done that 😄

Long live @mischa@exquisite.social!

I find it hilarious that I managed to block my own mobile provider's IP range from my own servers

@stefano surely @theregister will want to see this

Then on Saturday night at 20, your favourite provider hits you up with an email: 'Ok, syspatch-ed the physical server and rebooted, all good. I'm here if you need anything'.

They're truly inimitable.

Thanks, @OpenBSDAms !

@netbsd that's why people donate to the NetBSD Foundation while BigTechs to the Linux Foundation.

Sure, I'm exaggerating here. But not that much 😉

imagine if the official linux foundation account helped you with your wifi

Strikes Suspended

Given the antics of the Government over the last few weeks, there isn't much trust or goodwill going around so they will have to work to restore what they have damaged. There's more than a suspicion that the Government might just be trying to kick this issue into the long grass (again). Let's hope that's not the case, and the negotiators can quickly come up with a deal that is acceptable to union members.
