If there ever was a proof how uncool I am it's a bunch of bash scripts (yes, bash, you read that right!) to setup a Debian based router.

Forgejo is doing a pretty good job overall, but it feels like every release is a security release and Actions is just plainly annoying to use for my use case. I might spend some time this weekend looking at other options, especially for public repositories that are essentially read only. Any […]

It’s no secret what I think of Epic and little Timmy running it. But credit where credit is due. Curious if whatever they work out with distros will be sufficient for Riot to consider porting Vanguard. The other part that’ll be fun is all the “omg they are locking down Linux and we lose all […]

VPN back up and running through the secondary line that still got a static IP. Disabling IPv6 in the FritzBox and OPNsense didn't stop something to still force IPv6 which means the inbound Wireguard rule broke as it was IPv4 only. I'm sure IPv8 will make things even better,...
