did a thing!

Big problem in #selfhosting is making sure you've set things up right: #dns resolution, #ports, rev/ #proxy. _Sometimes_ its helpful to query _from the outside_ of your local network.

`canuseeme` - a single binary #webservice that will query the URI you give it and see if its reachable by randos/services on the internet. A bit like a #webproxy, but can exercise it programmatically, and not limited to HTTP/S ports.

@stefano I really enjoyed listening (and reading). Neat summaries, especially your experience of real-world benefits.

With regard to FreeBSD and "separation between OS and packages", this is no longer true – the OS is packaged – however the vast majority of people will know what's meant 🙂

A typical installation of FreeBSD-RELEASE for a desktop/laptop user might gain its packages from a trio of repos:

FreeBSD-base
FreeBSD-kmods
FreeBSD-ports

My second #OpenBSD #port that got merged into the #ports tree: MollySocket [1]
Mollysocket is for every #Signal user that wants to ditch Google-dependent notifications.
Together with #Molly [2] you can be sure that notifications will only be routed over systems that you choose, using #UnifiedPush.

This OpenBSD port in particular comes with a useful README that should help you to get started quickly. Let's hope that it makes it into 7.7-release :)

• The fund aim is to invest in Ukrainian projects & attract investment in public & private assets including #NaturalResources, #infrastructure, #ports & state-owned enterprises.

• Contributions to the fund will be reinvested in Ukraine to promote "the safety, #security & prosperity of Ukraine."

If Friday’s angry encounter…leads to a further drop in #US #military support for #Ukraine, Remchukov said in a phone interview, the consequences could be profound, possibly even encouraging #Putin to return to the broader territorial aims he pursued when he began his invasion in 2022.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Moscow decided to go further, to #Odesa or #Mykolaiv,” Remchukov said, referring to key #BlackSea #ports that remain under Ukrainian control.

My very first addition to the #OpenBSD #ports tree was merged: #wstunnel . Hooray!
From 7.7 onwards (or -current, of course), making sure that your VPS box is reachable through firewalls will be a breeze to implement.

I also wrote a blogpost about how to setup wstunnel on OpenBSD and my motivation behind it: https://shtrophic.net/tunneling-tunnels-masquerading-wireguard.html

I did a poudriere setup again after some time and one thing seems odd.
When building devel/git it pulls in rust and gcc... is there something I do wrong?
Seems excessive for a slimmed down port (UNSET most of the options)
