Spent 8 hours tracking down a rendering bug in iced 0.14, 4 different AI assistants, burning resources like Dr. Who on a manic hunt for Rose.
The fix was 12 characters. Filed the issue, submitted the PR. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Needed a reliable way to migrate between #opnsense and #pfsense (both ways) for clients.
Couldn't find a solution that could do either well, yet alone both.
Test it, break it, tell me.

isc2kea v1.2.0 is out.
This turned into a full on @opnsense DHCP migration tool (subnets, options, backend server switch, restarts).
Doing this one firewall at a time would've been a pain in the arse.
Test it. Break it. Tell me. 😝

isc2kea - OPNsense ISC DHCP to Kea/dnsmasq migration tool.
Built to make the ISC DHCP deprecation less painful. Still early days, but working well in real configs so far.
If you’re running OPNsense, feedback/testing welcome.

Extra cool Franco (@opnsense.org dev) dropped in, and even better that we caught the missing Common Ports issue live on stream for him :)
Thanks to everyone who joined live, ~50 concurrent viewers for a live #OPNsense upgrade is honestly awesome!

New video up on OPNsense 25.7.11 👋
Looks like a small patch, it’s actually setting the stage for big changes in 26.1 (DHCP, host discovery, IPv6 fixes, security updates).
If you’re running @opnsense.org at home or work, this one’s worth a few minutes.

I’ve published a new video walking through how I install and secure #FreeBSD on a #Hetzner server.
Hetzner doesn’t provide an initial FreeBSD image as a choice of operating systems to install, but there is an easy work around.
Includes pf+ssh hardening.

After real-world use, it’s clear this isn’t an all-in-one mini PC. Not a great NAS, not an efficient router, and not really a desktop replacement.
It does however make sense as a compact Proxmox / virtualization node with external storage.

Before we install TrueNAS on a UGREEN NAS, we should probably backup the UGOS image should we want to restore it later. It's not available to download, let's get it right

Ran fast[dot]com, an ISO download, and a VPN transfer.
