  @nuintari Maybe it's determined you NEED a cardiologist based on said work history.

  Manpage Monday: bastille limits Keep a noisy jail from eating the whole host. Powered by rctl + cpuset integrations. Cap memory at 4G: > bastille limits myjail set memoryuse 4G Pin it to CPUs 0 and 1: > bastille limits myjail set cpu 0,1 Clear every limit: > bastille limits -a myjail reset See `man bastille-limits` for more details. #Bastille #FreeBSD #rctl #ManpageMonday

  Manpage Monday: bastille list See everything at a glance. Default overview > bastille list [all] List all releases: > bastille list releases Running jails, by type, in pretty JSON columns: > bastille list -jup type You can also list: ips, ports, paths, states, snapshots, limits and templates. #BastilleBSD #FreeBSD #sysadmin

  Manpage Monday: bastille cmd Run a command inside a jail without ever logging in. List the contents of /etc > bastille cmd myjail ls /etc Stopped jail? -a starts it, runs the command, then you're done: > bastille cmd -a myjail cat /etc/resolv.conf Great for scripting across your fleet. #BastilleBSD #FreeBSD #automation #ManpageMonday

  Monthly reminder to periodically check your bastille.conf for updates or new entries from the sample config: cd /usr/local/etc/bastille diff -u bastille.conf bastille.conf.sample We try to keep config updates to a minimum, but sometimes they are required. #BastilleBSD #FreeBSD

  Manpage Monday: bastille cp Copy files from the host straight into a jail. Drop in a resolv.conf: > bastille cp myjail /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf Copy a whole directory, quietly > bastille cp -q myjail /etc /etc Need the reverse? > bastille rcp pulls jail → host Or, maybe jail to jail? > bastille jcp goes jail → jail #BastilleBSD #FreeBSD #sysadmin #ManpageMonday

  I was in my Dad’s garage looking for a tool and found this old stack of CDs that he now uses to deter birds from his garden. Ubuntu 9.10 server edition. Blast from the past! #Ubuntu #retro #OldSchool #Linux

  Manpage Monday: bastille clone Duplicate a jail exactly. New name, new IP, in seconds. Clone myjail to newjail > bastille clone myjail newjail 10.23.3.4/24 On ZFS you can even clone a running jail live > bastille clone -l myjail newjail 10.23.3.4/24 Perfect for spinning up test copies of jails. #BastilleBSD #FreeBSD #ZFS #ManpageMonday

  I got myself set up on Meshtastic over the weekend. Pleasantly surprised to find over 400 nodes in the regional mesh that spans nearly 650km (400mi)! #meshtastic #freq51 #915MHz

  Manpage Monday: bastille zfs ZFS snapshots for your jails, without the ZFS syntax. Snapshot a jail > bastille zfs myjail snapshot Roll back to the last snapshot > bastille zfs myjail rollback Check dataset disk usage > bastille zfs myjail df You can also get/set props or jail an extra dataset. See `man bastille-zfs` for more details. #Bastille #FreeBSD #ZFS #ManpageMonday

  Recommend your favorite Meshtastic / Meshcore hardware for someone getting started. For context, I'm looking for something I can use from my RV while traveling and off-grid. I'm considering a vehicle mounted radio and 1-2 small mobile units for hikes and exploring. #Meshtastic #Meshcore #LoRa #

  Every single one of these is an AI bot. Amazon, openAI, Claude, Peplexity. Also, every single one of these requests is malicious, attempting to steal credentials, keys or configs. Looks like it's time to make the firewall filters smarter. #AI #malware #bot #FreeBSD #nginx

  I converted another host to pkgbase with `pkgbasify`. Worked great! Even updated the jail base: ./pkgbasify --rootdir /usr/local/bastille/releases/15.1-RELEASE Bastille even detects that the jail base has been updated, and the next `bastille update 15.1-RELEASE` automatically uses pkg. #FreeBSD #BastilleBSD #pkgbase

  What's one bit of retro tech you'd like to see brought back to life? #ThrowbackThursday #retrocomputing

  The recent trends in AI and anti-AI sentiment remind me of Battlestar Galactica. Due to the advanced capabilities of the Cylons (AI), the Galactica's response was to go full retro tech. Cylons can't infiltrate air-gapped ships and air-gapped computers. Sure, their ship was "legacy" by the time the conflict started but the "legacy" aspect is what saved everyone. Makes me wonder what the future of tech has in store for us, and how many might go full retro tech in re...

  After spending the past few weeks up to my eyeballs in old BBS code I'm reminded how magical the small internet was. The dial up days. Calling yourself a SYSOP. I don't miss the dial-up download speeds, but I do miss the small internet. #BBS #retrocomputing
