oxy

given my origin story building firewalls and complex networks with Linux the sheer amount of immediately useful shit in the OpenBSD base install is absolute catnip to me. Things that I've historically spent days beating with a hammer just work right out of the box, the man pages are fucking amazing etc.
For the times I used Linux to replace Windows Servers (Windows 2003-2012 SBS rubbish) with Samba/dhcpd/sendmail/dovecot I wouldve given my left nut for FreeBSD+OpenZFS. It out of the box just immediately solves so many gotchas and hairy shit you have to roll your own solution around and that always felt a little underdone.
I'm hoping one day to get the opportunity to dig further into FreeBSD (pfil, netgraph/vpp) to see if i can build some truly beastly routers.
Oh and Sylve kicks all kinds of ass and is making a better and better case for finally putting a bullet in VSphere/ESXi.
Things are looking good and my hats off to all the people doing absolutely brilliant work.

Maybe there is a way to resize the sections to give more space to the CPU meters?

I find the mental image of you, hunched over a desk manually redacting all the MS bits with a Sharpie extremely funny.
(I realise this was not the case and you have far more technological means available)

Though my memory is rubbish so I am most likely wrong.

However in a decision makers role I understand the herd mentality. If doing what everyone else does turns out to be wrong then you don’t own it personally, if you buck the trend and get it wrong you’ll be labelled incompetent

It’s a strange calculation - I’m sure the businesses affected by cloudstrike would’ve preferred their revenue that day over being able to avoid finger-pointing.

I hadn’t heard of DOTS. Interesting.
Whatever an individuals “solution” to a DDOS is depends on the scale and how exactly they’re connecting to the internet. If I’m buying transit from a provider I would *hope* that they have some DDOS scrubbers upstream of me and/or have a team I can liaise with when I’m getting hit. If it’s coming from direct peering then *shrugs*
