  Now discussion is held at freebsd-arch ML. Note that this does NOT mean whole 32bit supports on amd64 is removed. And won't merged into existing stable branches and corresponding releases.

  26/10/03 ⇒ Google Summer of Code 2026 Reports: Improving and Stabilizing the racoon2 IKE Daemon in NetBSD racoon2 is a system to exchange and install security parameters for IPsec. It consists of an IKEv1/IKEv2 key exchange daemon, a security policy management daemon, and a Kerberos-based key exchange daemon. The project lives at zoulasc/racoon2 and is being modernized so that it can serve as a reliable L2TP/IPsec or IKEv2 VPN server on NetBSD and Linux for built-in Windows, iOS and Android VPN clients. http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/gsoc2026_racoon2

  26/09/13 ⇒ Deshittification as a Service: Reclaiming Privacy and Performance with OpenBSD pf and Unbound When you buy a modern Smart TV, you are buying a display subsidized by surveillance. Even at high price points, manufacturers make slim margins on physical hardware. To drive post-sale revenue, they track your viewing habits, log your interactions, and serve you targeted ads. Smart TVs, especially LG models running WebOS, have quietly morphed from simple screens into active network spyware appliances. https://fabricati-diem.inform.social/post/deshittification-as-a-service/ 26/09/20 ⇒ Deshittification Part 2: Bypassing the App Store Gatekeeper In my previous post, Deshittification as a Service, I shared a blueprint for taking back control from modern Smart TVs. I placed an LG OLED running WebOS inside an isolated VLAN behind an OpenBSD gateway. My goal was simple. I wanted to block vendor telemetry, strip out ads, and force the TV to act like a plain display again. ⇒ Deshittification Part 3: The Cold-Boot Consent Trap in Three Acts In my first write-up, Deshittification as a Service, I laid out a network blueprint using OpenBSD, pf and Unbound to isolate an LG Smart TV running WebOS inside a dedicated VLAN. In Part 2: Bypassing the App Store Gatekeeper, I documented how WebOS responds to telemetry blocking by locking users out of the LG Content Store with artificial error codes, effectively holding software management hostage. https://fabricati-diem.inform.social/post/deshittification-as-a-service-part3-the-cold-boot-consent-trap-in-three-acts/ 26/10/04 ⇒ Deshittification Part 4: The Factory Reset Consent Trap In Part 1 of this series, I laid out the foundational OpenBSD and Unbound architecture used to reclaim network sovereignty from an LG Smart TV. In Part 2, we saw how the OS holds the App Store hostage. In Part 3, I documented a stateful TCP kill switch that actively terminates Netflix streams if telemetry is blocked. https://fabricati-diem.inform.social/post/deshittification-as-a-service-part4-the-factory-reset-privacy-trap/

  HAMMER time. This is the home for all things DragonflyBSD: HAMMER2, virtual kernels, performance tuning, and the unique design choices that set DragonflyBSD apart. A smaller community, but that makes every conversation count. Welcome!
