@niccolove Excellent choices imo. Been contemplating a BeeLink myself for desktop or home server. Good luck with your decision!

With #Suricata Language Server 1.2.0 it will be possible to check the signatures in the file against a PCAP file. You will instantly know if the signature match and what is its CPU cost. Check the video for a demo of the feature.

I think everyone who is a big Linux fan should always manage a BSD machine or a dozen.

I love Linux, and have daily-driven it since 2019 (and before that, from 2000 to 2003).

But Linux is a behemoth, and is driven by very odd processes. Why is systemd replacing all of userspace? Why are we doing binary log files like some kind of cursed windows? Why is ifconfig being replaced with a totally new tool with totally new syntax/options?

There's never good reasons for these, only "Someone decided," or "well, that's what we're doing now," or my personal "favorite," "if you don't like it, code your own!"

After seeing Linux reinvent every wheel every 5 years or so, after seeing HOWTO articles from two years ago being made worthless by yet another humongous change, sometimes it's nice to be in stolid, stodgy, "boring" old #BSD land.

Microsoft has released the KB5068781 update, the first Windows 10 extended security update since the operating system reached end of support last month.

Watching companies like Microsoft and AWS continue to fuck up at massive scale and orgs are just like "what can you do?" and keep shoveling money to them is very exhausting.

Was it DNS?
No, it was the fucking cloud.
Fuck this cloud bullshit.
