#introduction post time I guess.

I'm a mid to late 30s white guy on Ngunnawal land (Canberra) in Australia, soon to be moving to palawa land (Tasmania).

I'm on the fediverse to follow my infosec friends, meet new people, learn more about solarpunk, anarchist and adjacent ideas.

I generally don't have much to say but will boost cool stuff.

https://feedforthought.com.au/ is my sister in law's company that launched today, providing carbon positive dog food from black soldier fly larvae, lots of work has gone in to getting here! I think only shipping to AU at the moment.

well, #lca2022 proposal submitted, going through my learnings around https://github.com/knorrie/network-examples

May be a bit of a shitfight as I'm moving house the week before the conerence!

https://linux.conf.au/

whoops, mail server was not set correctly and was failing SPF checks when receiving from my backup MX, which caused a number of incorrect bounces. <s>This is why upgrades are bad! Debian 11 changed the default SPF config and email broke</s>

A productive weekend finishing up my filter holder. Oak from a sapling I bought at around age 10, which grew at my folks until a few years ago when it got too big, and some spotted gum leftovers from axe handling making. Very pleased!

Ok, I finally figured this one out:
global header policy on my reverse proxy did not include 'data:' in the img-src. All fixed, along with some similar oddness in nextcloud

Very pleased with the new sticker @daedalus:

What a dramatic race to end the season! Excited for next year's #formulaE 🏎️

That was a good read. Blame the pollies, as usual.

Is it a thing in mastodon to get all toots from a remote instance appearing on my local timeline? Or do I just have to follow everyone on that instance?

All the options in the interface appear to be to _stop_ a whole isntance from appearing. How does this federation thing actually work?

Actually reading through https://decentsecurity.com/ It's really good.

fav quote so far:
"Why is this so complicated and not standardized? Because nerds valorize deleterious individualism." about RFC-1918 choices on routers. oof...

😬 Moving date sorted, confirmed working arrangements, we're officially on our way to Tassie! Now to de-junkify 13 years worth of accumulation. Canberra folks, if I have something of yours that I've forgotten to give back, now's the time!
