When I’m home connecting into work (which I do about 5 hrs each week) I’ve got the following layers to get through:
Linux on Laptop -> Qemu -> Windows 7 VM -> VPN with custom USB Token -> RDP -> Windows 7 on Work desktop -> VirtualBox -> Ubuntu VM

https://gethttpsforfree.com/ appears to be a resource for getting a certificate from Let’s Encrypt without installing or running the automated tools.

For renewal via cron you could also use this 200 loc python script with no dependencies.

I prefer OpenSSH to work this way, too. It does automatically on OS X, and I have used this patch to OpenSSH before but it still hasn’t been integrated. I think I will update that patch to -current and see if I can get it integrated.

Beginnings of a Lenovo X1 OpenBSD desktop (I’m migrating from Linux).
Configs for cwm, ksh, xterm, tmux and vim can be found here.
Initially I’m trying to use what’s in base. So far I had to reach out for vim. I might need to install a tiling window manager as well.

After 15 years on Linux I could not take it anymore and have started to migrate to OpenBSD: http://git.uggedal.com/obsdenv/tree/

- Going from rolling release distribution to a more stable environment was a big plus
- FreeBSD has a wealthy amount of release information (they’ll tell you what they’re planning and when to expect it)
- The package manager (
pkg) has been a very simple, yet powerful tool that I’ve gotten used to over the last few weeks - Packages seem to be easier to setup and are cleaner (I haven’t verified this). I hate that Arch Linux has to have two separate entities, “official packages” and “AUR packages”… This is a frustrating model, in my opinion.
- FreeBSD takes their security very seriously – they have a page dedicated information on security here
- They have excellent documentation
- They have an excellent handbook

Working on my highly opinionated linux distro: Bare Linux. It’s my take on what a lightweight distro should look like. Uses musl libc, suckless' sbase and some parts ported from OpenBSD. It’s not usable yet, but it can be bootstrapped from modern linuxes and is self hosting in a user namespace.
This link requires a subscription. Could someone share the non-subscription version?
LWN articles are only freely available one week after publication.
My understanding is that there is a special link that can be used to link a free version of the page. LWN don’t exactly encourage it, but they don’t discourage it. Could be wrong, been a while since I was a member.

Fixed.
