snac.daltux.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

hey so this is probably completely pointless but: looking for a job (NZ or fully remote willing to hire a kiwi) in SRE, security, or linux/Unix system administration. 15 years expereince administering Linux and Unix boxes, intermediate level of experience working with docker compose and containerisation and container security. No prior job experience unfortunately. Currently running an entire multi-machine personal cloud infrastructure with a demonstration of all the services I have running at https://status.highenergymagic.net. #fedihired #infosec #cybersecurity #linux #unix #docker #sre #DevOps
Please boost for reach, any job offers please DM me.
Hi! I'm a long term #Sysadmin ➡️ #Devops ➡️ #SRE ➡️ #PlatformEngineer contractor / freelancer looking for unix-adjacent work, either remote or in Melbourne 🇦🇺.
I have a mixed pedigree of on-premises and cloud and even the occasional foray into mainframes.
I've done a lot of work for startups that may not need a full time infra person to launch yet want to get the foundation solid from the outset. I am good at building novel systems from open source components to meet an organisation’s needs.
I enjoy being on teams with interesting and diverse colleagues and like to think I contribute that back too.
More blurb about me at https://www.zikomo.xyz/
Boosts and replies appreciated, thank you.
git.sr.ht is unstable, builds may have been cancelled, and chat.sr.ht is also impacted.
Successfully migrated the login to my Forgejo Git-Forge from an outdated installation of Authentik to a containerized Keycloak 26 with Passkey (WebAuthN) authentication 🥳
Getting the users from my FreeIPA LDAP via a secured Wireguard tunnel that only allows port 636 to the IPA replica server in my DMZ.
Works like a charm. Once the handful of users on my instance have linked their new Keycloak identity with their Forgejo account, I can disable the old OIDC with Authentik 🙂
Running Podman in production for years now, and I don't miss the Docker daemon one bit.
I just published a deep dive on managing OCI containers the Unix way: daemonless, rootless, and natively integrated with systemd via Quadlets.
I cover:
- Real secrets management
- Auto-updates via systemd timers
- The Docker compatibility layer
This is the guide I wish I had when making the switch.
Read it here: https://blog.hofstede.it/podman-in-production-quadlets-secrets-auto-updates-and-docker-compatibility/

I run 21 OCI containers with Podman (and Quadlets!) on my ARM aarch64 server on Netcup with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10.1. Memory utilization is a bit high, but the system is working absolutely stable for months.
TLS certificates and ingress-routing is handled fully automatically by Traefik and labels, attached to the containers.
Having everything containerized, makes it really easy to clean up 🙂 There's some applications, that I don't even use anymore. Time to clean up.
Then I'll continue, replacing the old Authentik installation with Keycloak for my OIDC applications (Forgejo, Wallos etc.)

In letzter Zeit viel mit eBPF experimentiert – der Game-Changer für Observability in Kubernetes. Mit Tools wie Cilium oder Tetragon holt man sich Netzwerk-, Security- und Performance-Metrics ohne nennenswerten Overhead. Wenn ihr noch nicht drin seid: Fangt an! Quick Win: bpftrace für einfache Tracing-Skripte. Macht Observability endlich skalierbar. #DevOps #eBPF #Kubernetes #Linux
WireGuard vs. OpenVPN: Für mich ist WireGuard der klare Sieger. Simpler Config, blitzschnell, moderner Crypto-Stack. Heute einen Site-to-Site-Tunnel in unter 5 Minuten laufen gehabt – inkl. QR-Code-Scan für Mobile. OpenVPN-Nutzer: Zeit zum Wechseln! Docs sind Gold wert. #VPN #Linux #Security #DevOps

Downgraded #Jenkins and all its plugins. Again. Third time — I've finally pinned the version properly 😅
We're frozen on an old version because AIX and Solaris are stuck on Java 11, and newer Jenkins needs Java 17+. Our build farm has 33 nodes across everything from Raspberry Pi to SPARC T4-1.
Now looking at #Forgejo Actions as a way out.
Anyone running CI/CD for AIX or Solaris? What are you using?
With #openbsd 7.9 now in beta and the release expected to hit in a few weeks' time, "You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks." https://nxdomain.no/~peter/openbsd_installed_now_for_the_daily_tasks.html may be due for a re-read. (And minor updates to come, certainly)

Hey Tech-Freunde, gerade ein altes Bash-Script für Log-Rotation überarbeitet. Tipp des Tages: rsync statt cp für große Logs – spart I/O und ist atomar. Einfach "rsync -a --remove-source-files /var/log/old/ /var/log/archive/". Hat mir schon manchen Midnight-Meltdown erspart. Eure Lieblings-Log-Hacks? #Linux #DevOps #Sysadmin

New blog post: Speeding Up Forgejo CI with a Custom OCI Image
My blog's pipeline spent more time installing dependencies than actually building the site. Two commits and one Containerfile later, that step is gone entirely.
Bonus: Forgejo ships with a built-in OCI container registry, so the whole thing is self-contained on a single instance. No Docker Hub, no external registry.

New post: Neovim Crash Course for Sysadmins
Not a beginner's guide. This covers the things you still get wrong after years of Vim - efficient navigation, why your paste lands in the wrong place (and the one-key fix), YAML indentation workflows, quick macros, and what Neovim's LSP actually gives you for infrastructure work.
Written for people who edit configs and playbooks all day.

Invest in your process maturity or you won't get the best value out of your AI initiatives. At least that's what the 2026 State of DevOps report seems to imply!
A lot the focus was on AI and the report particularly highlighted the importance of solid DevOps maturity across the SDLC as being needed before you can really see ROI on AI adoption.
Join Robin, Nico, and Jason as they provide their opinions on what they saw in the report!

I'm Blake — reintroducing myself as I'm back on the timeline.
I'm a Cloud Engineer working in Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems. Day-to-day I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms.
Outside of work, I build with Go — creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.
A couple things I'm working on:
RideAware — A cycling training platform for building structured training plans, analyzing ride data, and completing indoor workouts all in one place.
Arcline Hosting — A self-hosted web hosting service for people who want to know exactly where their data lives. It runs on hardware I own and operate — no AWS, no Cloudflare, no third-party CDN. Shared, WordPress, and VPS plans with personal ticket and email support.
My core interests span SRE, cloud infrastructure, DevOps/automation, and network engineering. I spend a lot of time with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and enjoy digging into routing, firewalls, and secure network design.
I'm here because I care about privacy, self-hosting, and building things that give people more control over their own data. Good to be back — looking forward to reconnecting with this community.

New series: FreeBSD Foundationals
Part 1 is about Jails - specifically VNET Jails. What epair interfaces actually are (virtual ethernet cables), how bridges tie them together, why the host is basically a router for your jails, and what devfs rulesets control.
Covers the full lifecycle from jail.conf through pf firewalling with NAT/RDR for IPv4 and direct routing for IPv6. Plus the gotchas that'll cost you hours if nobody warns you.
Not a beginner tutorial, hardcore details. The useful middle.

SCE for Windows now supports the latest versions of the puppetlabs‑pwshlib dependency, including a fix for DSC reporting issues.
In addition, resource names are updated to correctly reference SCE instead of the legacy CEM name.
NOTE: When updating to the latest release of SCE for Windows, you will also want to upgrade `puppetlabs-pwshlib` as well.
