    Signing pkg repos with a YubiKey — security feedback welcome

    After the recent GPG fail people are looking for alternatives. See these threads on oss-security: - https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/12/28/1 - https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/12/29/2 Why not use signify by OpenBSD instead? I no longer use GPG for anything. I...

    ZFS Reliability of ZFS native encryption

    In the case of Linux because of export restrictions (pun intended) due to one function marked as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

    Only one piece of GPL software left in FreeBSD

    Well, OpenZFS is CDDL which is copyleft (even though weak and file-based). Still, it doesn't pass the license purity test that OpenBSD likes.

    ZFS Reliability of ZFS native encryption

    Did you try with OpenZFS 2.4.0? https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-2.4.0 > Better encryption performance using AVX2 for AES-GCM (#17058)

    Can I set a swap in zvol?

    It's not anecdotal. It still has issues: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/7734

    Other XML vs. JSON

    Both are bloated and wasteful. An array of N objects duplicates the name of each struct member N times. I've seen tools getting OOM killed because of this. Now RAM prices are high and we should come up with something better.

    Post Your Art and Writings Made on FreeBSD

    I've seen some of your stuff in the web and wonder why don't you publish it on Amazon. I enjoy the dark aesthetics of these. These are the sort of things I'd enjoy on a plane or in a digital detox when visiting family members. Seriously consider publishing.

    Why did you stopped using FreeBSD ?

    This is not true. The CoC is not based on the Contributor Covenant by Coraline Ada, who is also the author of the Post-Meritocracy Manifesto. The current one is based on LLVM & Django's. We're 3 years past this peak non-sense and things are returning to normal with the good ol' shut up & code...

    And don't connect it to the Internet. I think the average time to get pwned on old versions is half an hour.

    Add capsicum to jails

    Capsicum is more granular and works on file descriptors so it's not that easy. It's for programs to sandbox themselves. I think that's why Capsicum in Linux implemented by Google never took off. The best you can do is to load it via LD_PRELOAD to enter in capability mode but this will work...

    Valuable News – 2026/01/26

    https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/raspberry-pi-cheaper-than-mini-pc/ It's on Amazon at €219 but I bought it directly from the manufacturer at €179 with the first-time buyer's discount of €20. I'm just waiting for the €51 custom fee refund. Intel N150 is a lot faster than the A76. I find...

    You'll be surprised that it tends to just work on all BSD variants. Stuff that breaks: PROG & PROGS with multiple targets. To enable warnings I set both `WARNINGS= yes` and `WARNS= 3`
