  1. WireGuard не хранит AllowedIPs у пира

    Добавляете нового пира на сервер WireGuard — и у соседнего в wg show вместо префикса появляется allowed ips: (none) . Команда отработала успешно, dmesg пуст, wg-quick промолчал, туннель up , handshake свежий. А если бы у нового пира маска была /32 вместо /24 , ничего бы не произошло. Это ловят снова и снова: в трекере VyOS с 2020-го (закрыто как Invalid — «так делает ядро»), в OPNsense в 2025-м, на форуме OpenWrt каждый раз, когда к серверу добавляют второй телефон. Разбор по drivers/net/wireguard/ мейнлайна, тег v6.12 : почему AllowedIPs вообще не хранится у пира, что делает list_move_tail в allowedips.c:201 , почему симптом «пропало у одних пиров, но не у всех» объясняется одной строкой parent->cidr == cidr , и откуда берётся ping: sendmsg: Required key not available , если вы его когда-нибудь видели и решили, что это про ключи шифрования. И заодно: то же самое лежит в FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BoringTun, wireguard-go и в драйвере под Windows — шесть кодовых баз, пять разных структур данных, один и тот же молчаливый контракт. А MikroTik, который запрет прямо задокументировал, сам его не проверяет: на CHR оба пира показывают префикс, трафик идёт одному, и вернуть его второму можно только записью того же самого значения обратно. Плюс способ проверить самому: настоящий allowedips.c из ядра, собранный в userspace одним gcc . Без модуля и без root.

  2. 🧰 The 'column' command is a great (and often overlooked) tool.

    It creates structured output of data and turns it into columns, hence the name. It makes it easier to understand the data and its values. Great for CSV and data files.

    💡 You already might have the command on your system, as it usually is installed on #Linux, #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and others.

    What other commands would you recommend for dealing with data?

    If you like the effort I'm putting into these tips, please get them far 🔁 🚀

  4. Finally finally I've actually been at home (well, not quite, my wife had to survive 15-20 mins without iwebs) when #OPNsense had another Tor meltdown. The good thing is that there’s a window when the machine is not completely stuck, so I figured out the right max nmbcluster-value, by being able to test it immediately since when I restart Tor, it’d immediately spool up to the full load!

    Observation: after 650.000 clusters it stabilises as Tor’s internal load-balancing kicks in.

  7. Need to know what day a specific date is? Meet the 'cal' command 🧰

    This little nifty tool is typically preinstalled on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and others.

    💡 Without a parameter it shows you the current month
    💡 Use -m or -M to start the weekday on a Monday
    💡 Give it a year to see the full year

    Fast, clear, and no distractions 😎

    Command missing? Package name to install might be bsdmainutils or ncal.

  11. Anyone know how to make file deletion "take" on a RAM mount/tmpfs on FreeBSD?

    OPNsense is set to log to RAM to save SSD write cycles. I've cleared out the offending file but `df` is still showing 100% utilization and processes are still failing to write.

    Edit: seems nginx was holding a file open and disk exhaustion was blocking service restart. A full stop and start of nginx cleared it

  17. Just running Unreal Tournament 1 under GhostBSD and linuxulator.
    The only issue is avoid the linux script, download instead manually the assets (iso and patches) and dump everything in a folder.
    I have a small monitor, at least on my screen the performance is perfect; after all is also a 25 years old game at this point.

    I should try to put some mod if I found those which I used, some are hilariously fun.

    Perhaps I should leave a small guide.

  21. Installing #FreeBSD on my new laptop to escape the massive #AI and bloat madness of #Linux. Opened the terminal and it is a real Unix, all my favorite tools and utilities are there from decades ago. Nothing has been "depreciated" or "Unix is dead" that #Redhat and their #systemD were constantly gaslighting about.

    It's all there, even CDE/Motif, xv, oclock, xeyes, finger, ...

    Since this is a new laptop with new GPU and all that, I am having to do some scraping from a Linux distribution to get Xorg working. Even GhostBSD didn't have all the new drivers yet. But this is Unix and the included documentation and build tools are amazing. Shame that the Linux Foundation is heavily invested by the AI goons. But this is a win for me😸

  23. Stellaris funziona sotto GhostBSD attraverso Linuxulator.
    Però funziona male 😆
    Non avevo le aspettative opposte, ma ho trovato ottime cose.
    La mia versione Gog.com del gioco si installa e si avvia senza bisogno di impostazioni speciali.
    La logica del gioco e il suono funzionano fluidi.
    La grafica invece salta in modo disastroso, con alcuni glitch.

    Forse con FreeBSD potrebbero esserci miglioramenti.
