if_bridge(4) on #freebsd 15 works a little different than the previous implementations. Assigning an IP address directly to the bridge interface is now the recommended thing to do. There are also pretty fine-grained ways to use and control VLANs on a bridge now. #callfortesting was where I heard about those changes first. Support https://www.youtube.com/@callfortesting on https://bsdfund.org, it’s super easy, took me less than a minute.

Tragedy has struck the 2025 Sydney to Hobart yacht race fleet with four vessels crossing Bass Strait taken by Kraken. Monash University Professor of Cryptidology Alison Price has suggested that the adoption this year of black carbon-fiber spinnakers has been interpreted as a territorial display by the rarely-seen ancient creatures inhabiting the southern ocean.

Congress time! 🚀 This banner invites us by quoting the #CCC's incompatibility statement, revised and adopted by all members at this year's general meeting:

Our community is built on solidarity, openness, and a firm stance against chauvinism and nationalism. In other words: be excellent to each other. That's the ethical baseline this #Congress is built on. Have a great #39C3, everyone!

I refused to join Bluesky and Threads because unlike Mastodon, they are operated by for-profit entities.

Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter and advocated for Muskrat to buy it.

Threads is a Meta company.

No. Way. In. Hell. was I signing up.

I've never regretted joining Mastodon in the years since I left Twitter.

I've had more meaningful engagement here than I ever did after spending over 12 years on the bird site.

One of the most radical things you can do in these unstable times is to know things: actual, solid things that can be the foundation of a system of knowledge on which we can rebuild the wreckage of the reality we once shared.

@randahl that seems like very low - underrated I think. Nobody I have met has even thought of going to the US. Not even those that were pro America before the orange problem. What is holding the people back? Dump him 🍊

@darius if you want to stick with nginx, try https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_acme_module.html which will handle LE certificates directly within nginx. Caddy or Apache do the same if you can/want to change your web server.
As do monitoring, updown.io does check certs and emails you if they are about to expire

no fucking way. no fucking way. git blame never fails

fmt::Debug for fs::File is like yeah you know what would be a great way to avoid technically breaking an API that hasn't changed in over a decade? let's reach into /proc/self/fd to improve the debug output because both we and our users are physically incapable of attaching a path string in a wrapper struct and implementing fmt::Debug on it. my god

“Complacency is over.”

Thank goodness. So I guess we’ll stop going on about “European values” while ignoring – if not actively aiding and abetting – Israel’s live-streamed genocide of the Palestinian people?

…Oh.

I still can't believe #Brave is a thing. There apparently are just people out there who are like "I'm frustrated by the corporate bullshit in Chrome, so I think I'll try this crypto scam made by a homophobe"

@Edent Like many imperial space operas the time setting relies on technology to colonise planetary systems beyond those we currently have.

As political constructs though I'm reminded of the Spanish colonisation of parts of America as well as English colonisation of many other nations. Colonisation and exploitation of indigenous resources isn't kind whether we see it in Dune or the Avatar setting of Pandora or in West Papua and Papua New Guinea. Or Middle Eastern nations like Palestine. Or ...

@Tattooed_Mummy yes. It’s time. And it’s January’s project
