    Luckily, many of my clients are intelligent and well-prepared people.

    RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/115984116493117731Luckily, many of my clients are intelligent and well-prepared people. Needless to say, that email, before making me laugh, had already made the client laugh. He immediately thought he was dealing with people who were great at marketing but had little technical skill. I presented my theory on software engineering, but he immediately tore it apart, declaring himself extremely skeptical. In his opinion, it is more likely to be a technique to lower our defenses and then try to sell us "security products" after a "pentest full of flaws". Or simply sheer incompetence.Anyway, their connection hasn't any open ports. So they can pentest anything they want to, as long as they want to.#IT #SysAdmin #HorrorStories #PenTest

    I have a strong suspicion that the VM running FediMeteo is being throttled.

    @stefano @christopher I am not sure if I'd say #Linux is becoming like #Windows. I do recall similar statements made on the Debian-User mailing list on a previous release when xorg introduced autoconfiguration. A lot of people were pissed that it was making choices for you instead of manually configuring the xorg.conf file.Honestly, that was a good thing. Painful doesn't begin to describe it but users were unaware they could still hand-configure the file.There has been, however, more stuff added to Linux over the last several years. Call it bloat, call it whatever you want. OSes change. But it has been gradually moving away from simplicity.I miss the simplicity.However, to reply to your original post, coming from COTS solutions, sometimes the vast amount of choice can be overwhelming. For instance, when it comes to #FreeBSD #jails it used to just be jails. Now, it's thin, thick, classic, networking. I understand they have their places but it would be helpful to provide more detailed explanations, tutorials, or best practices for each. The FreeBSD Handbook is good but just scratches the surface but often leaves more questions. It would help with learning and in part...marketing.On a side note: The FreeBSD Handbook is a great resource but there are opportunities to improve it, like tailoring it to new users (better empathy), best practices, architectural examples, and links to additional resources and info.

    @stefano @ricardo the article mentioned the FreeBSD subreddit and The FreeBSD Forums. Yorick Peterse shared his post in the sub, where it was very well-received. Pictured: insights that are not visible to the public (I very rarely share such things, doing so seems harmless on this occasion). No mention of Discord, Twitter, or X. Also pictured: the wiki for FreeBSD Discord very recently cautioned that the FreeBSD Community Code of Conduct can not be enforced. I do not imagine that this caution relates to any recent misconduct there …<https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct/><https://wiki.freebsd.org/Discord/DiscordServer><https://yorickpeterse.com/>#FreeBSD #Reddit #forums #Discord #community #conduct #misconduct
