My daughter left home because University is located towns-away from here. This means she now has to connect her iPad to $HOME in order to watch the movies that are hosted in our local VOD system.
Yet another #OpenBSD and #Wireguard user that don’t even know about it. She only knows that she uses a #VPN and that it’s not NordVPN.
OpenBSD ports lock is fast approaching with the release of 7.8 in under a month. Please test your favourite apps THIS WEEK to ensure everything works as expected on a -current / snapshot release. #OpenBSD
Another small victory today.
A salesperson had almost convinced a client to move their email from 365 to Google because "they hold all the cards now". I stepped in and suggested they keep their email on servers that they control instead. The salesperson almost mocked me, treating me like a "nerd" who doesn't understand how the world works.
I was happy to be a nerd, if necessary, to explain the pros and cons of the solution to the client.
The result? The salesperson was politely thanked and "sent home", and I'm now evaluating some details of the new mail server, which, by the client's choice, will be based on OpenBSD.
Because people need explanations, not brochures.
Personally I would have gone with #Mailcow. Much easier to setup and administer. As much as I love #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD I sure as hell wouldn't recommend it for an SME.
Unless your goal is lock-in. Vendor lock-in. And in this case that vendor is you. Because let's face it, even in IT, OpenBSD is quite niche and FreeBSD is already niche enough.
@gumnos @stefano For a bit of my writing that is not necessarily about spamd (but still mostly with an #openbsd and other #opensource theme), there is my "Short reading list" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/the_short_reading_list.html which is close to what I came up with for some #bookofpf promo material that @nostarch were putting together earlier this year.

@gumnos @stefano my setup is something that developed over a few years almost 20 years ago. Back then, exim was a reasonable MTA choice, I had been using spamassassin for a while when I set up a spamd in front of it.
The "18 years of greytrapping" piece https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html has *all* the links, most of them potentially useful I think.
The main takeaway is that a greylisting spamd takes a lot of load off any content filtering (and then there is greytrapping for entertainment)
