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 machines via my config ;-)

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 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...

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 costs per endpoint?

Walking through the streets of Brussels authoring a support response in org-mode via termux leveraging spacemacs and ob-cfengine3 after a wonder bowl of ramen. I love my tools!

I love my 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
