There once was a hacker named Nick
Who install a malicious rootkit
He thought he was clever
But he soon would discover
That his system was infected by it!

Thanks so much for this notice. I've just pushed it to all my #Debian machines via my #cfengine config ;-)

#cfengine doesn't get enough love. I'm trying to set up my sister with a working x86 router from 600 miles away, asking her to do things at most 5-10 minutes at a time. It's supposed to run a stripped down routing config in an nspawn container and then a full fledged #debian desktop OS hosting, so she can browse the web too. I'm trying to do it as independent of my own infrastructure so there's no cfengine3 server and man does that add time to the config...

Check out the next big feature coming to #CFEngine Mission Portal: http://cfengine.com/blog/2023/groups-app-sneak-peek

I don't like when a website refuses to give me a price and instead wants me to get a quote.

Unrelated, does anyone know how much #cfengine costs per endpoint?

The agenda for the CFEngine room starts at 2pm, where I will kick it off talking about the state of CFEngine: https://cfp.cfgmgmtcamp.org/2023/talk/GZKQV8/

Day 21/25: Many configuration files for cron, at, SSH etc. enable insecure configuration, but are still supported for backwards compatibility. With the upcoming module input feature, you can easily delete files across your infrastructure from within MP:

If you are coming to #FOSDEM in February 2023 and are into #ConfigurationManagement, we strongly recommend that you extend your stay in Belgium and attend Config Management Camp.

#CfgMgmtCamp is held in Ghent (50 km north west from Brussels), right after FOSDEM.

I love my #cfengine setup. I just got a new laptop for use on holiday and installing Debian testing from bootable USB drive and then installing cfengine3 and bootstrapping it to my policy server... within a half hour or so I have a functional system integrated with all the other systems. Yeah, it took looking up a few firmware packages and such, but it was pretty straightforward. Only problem is the WiFi is new enough it looks like it needs a driver coming in linux 6.2
