@Viss @ai6yr I've been using Google Fi SIMs for a while for backup internet.

This is a mobile router I bought in 2022: GL-X750V2 (Spitz). It has worked well with Google Fi SIMs and connects to my UniFi WAN2 port.

More recently I've been using a Peplink router with both Peplink and Eiotclub eSIMs for travel. It's overkill but useful with four external 5G antennas and a USB-C power cable:

- Peplink BR1 Mini 5G (with WiFi) (MAX-BR1-MINI-5GN-T-PRM)

- Peplink 4-pin to USB-C power cable (ACW-791)

@NilaJones @scottdavidherr @ai6yr ive used an old gl.inet mudi from 2020 with google fi but i got meh speeds, i think largely because of the reception, and not because the radio didnt support it. I've been looking at the new spitz routers, as theyre way cheaper than the peplink ones, but i cant find any real evidence of people with google fi using gl.inet gear and getting decent lte or 5g speeds. but i can with the peplink br1-mini!

@Viss Alpine would be tricky. There isn't much of an attack surface other than the Linux kernel, musl, and busybox, aside from what you decide to shove into it.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@DaveMWilburn how many times have you encountered someone looking inside a container for threats?

[cityhallin@infosec.exchange]

@Viss I bet plenty of people's containers out there are still flashing 12:00.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@cityhallin dude ive seen containers rocking 4.x kernels. this year.

[davemwilburn@infosec.exchange]

@Viss oh yeah, essentially zero! Yeah, if you can get in, then you're basically golden. Well, until/unless the container gets trashed and redeployed.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@DaveMWilburn so put the bug in alpine >:D

[viss@mastodon.social]

@DaveMWilburn alpine runs gitlab selfhosted (woo!) out of linode germany. and their gitlab is public, sooooo..

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Mustardfacial oh this is a genius idea

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Mustardfacial man i need to take a swing at this. i got a box in a colo with 24tb of space, a 10 gig connection, 256 gig of ram and is heavily underutilized.

[ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org]

@cmconseils @Viss But does he own a Jazz club? 🤔

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Mustardfacial i should write a secret snarfer automation pipeline

[fishermansenemy@infosec.exchange]

@Viss have you read the book?

[viss@mastodon.social]

@FishermansEnemy no, i read the martian though

[fishermansenemy@infosec.exchange]

@Viss I loved the Martian, but personally his other books haven’t really hit.

[bhhaskin@social.bitsofsimplicity.com]

@Viss of you haven't listened to the audiobook you really need to. It's fantastic. Also the audiobook of the martian (but only the older one that is narrated by R.C Bray)

[viss@mastodon.social]

@bhhaskin i did the audiobook of the martian, i should get this one too :D

[bhhaskin@social.bitsofsimplicity.com]

@Viss I think this audio book is better tbh

@Viss the biggest of oofs
