BastilleBSD 1.0 is Here!
BastilleBSD – @BastilleBSD – announced a new release yesterday, 14 July 2025. And the date is perfectly consistent with their name!
The project has reached an important milestone: version 1.0. I’ve never hidden the fact that BastilleBSD is my favorite jail management system. Even the BSDCafe runs on it. I’ve contributed code, implementing some things that are useful to me, and the development team (starting with Christer) is friendly and open. It’s a great project.
There have been a few minor issues in the past. For example, when moving from FreeBSD 13.x to 14.X, it was necessary to run a command on each jail:
bastille cmd JAILNAME sed -i '' '/pam_opie*/d' /etc/pam.d/*
But, in general, stability has been excellent.
Version 1.0 introduces many new features, but there are also some breaking changes. I’ll be testing it in the coming days, starting with more standard systems (at BSD Cafe, I also use fibs, which might complicate things).
Another fantastic announcement from the team is the creation of a pre-configured ISO. This includes FreeBSD 14.3, BastilleBSD, and Rocinante already configured, some hardening options, zsh as the default shell, and everything set up for pkgbase. I’ve just installed it and am running some tests, but I believe it can be considered an excellent way to get a system up and running immediately for working with jails.
In short, a huge thanks to the BastilleBSD team and… vive les BSD!

Scattered IT Notes - by Stefano MarinelliStefano Marinelli (IT Notes)
Introducing BastilleBSD: A Modern, Secure-by-Default FreeBSD Distribution with Built-in Automation and Privacy
We're excited to announce BastilleBSD, a new FreeBSD-based distribution designed for modern system administrators, privacy-conscious users, and DevOps professionals. BastilleBSD is built to be secure-by-default, automated from first boot, and ready for serious work—right out of the box.This is more than just FreeBSD with pre-installed packages. BastilleBSD is a curated, hardened FreeBSD experience with a modern toolset and sane defaults, tailored for both servers and power users.
What's Included:
Bastille – Container automation for FreeBSD, pre-installed and auto-configured.Rocinante – Host configuration management using Bastillefile-style templates.
Modern shells and tools – Zsh (default), with bash, fish, vim-tiny, git-tiny, htop, and more.
Pre-configured automation – On first boot, BastilleBSD automatically:
Runs 'bastille setup', configuring the host networking, ZFS storage, and a secure firewall
Bootstraps the host release and applies latest patches
Privacy & Security by Default:
Hardened sysctl values inspired by HardenedBSDSecure SSH defaults (no DSA/ECDSA, modern ciphers, stricter MACs/KEX)
Firewall (pf) enabled out of the box
doas configured for the wheel group – no sudo required
DNS-over-HTTPS with blocky, preconfigured to forward encrypted DNS to privacy-friendly Quad9
openntpd – lightweight and privacy-respecting time sync, already set up
smartd – pre-installed and ready to monitor drive health
Plus:
Uses pkg-base by default — no freebsd-update neededCustom boot graphics and branding
Clean ZFS defaults, periodic snapshots optional
BastilleBSD is fully compatible with FreeBSD and will track upstream point releases (e.g., BastilleBSD-14.3-RELEASE). This is a distribution for people who want FreeBSD to just work with modern tools, privacy-first defaults, and zero guesswork.
Get it, test it, break it!
We're eager to hear your feedback and ideas for future improvements.🖥️ Download: download.bastillebsd.org

IW-Studie: Rund 770.000 Stellen bis 2028 nicht qualifiziert besetzt
Bis 2028 könnten einer Studie zufolge rund 770.000 Stellen nicht mit ausreichend qualifizierten Fachkräften besetzt werden. In welchen Branchen und Berufen droht die größte Lücke?tagesschau.de
Ich bin Anfang 40, habe vom Schreibtischjob schon lange die Nase voll und würde gerne von der Softwarentwicklung ins Handwerk wechseln.
Habe mich schon mehrmals in Richtung Elektriker umgeschaut - das würde ich wirklich gerne machen auch gerne in Richtung Automatisierungstechnik. Weniger Gehalt ist auch kein Problem, ich gehe einfach kaputt den ganzen Tag am PC. Leider gibt es anscheinend keinen Weg die Elektriker Ausbildung zu verkürzen oder irgendwie anders den Quereinstieg zu schaffen.

Jeffrey Epstein Hired Private Investigators to Intimidate FBI Agents: Officials
Multiple federal law enforcement officials who spoke to Rolling Stone on the condition of anonymity say that Jeffrey Epstein hired private investigators to follow, intimidate, and surveil FBI special agents investigating allegations that he paid underage women for sex. The FBI declined Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
These new allegations about the pressure exerted on the FBI come after internal divisions in Donald Trump’s administration exploded into public view last week over its handling of files and information pertaining to the disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker.
Reports across several media outlets describe a tense meeting between deputy FBI director Dan Bongino, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and other officials. According to reports, that meeting ended with Bongino storming out. Bongino is now reportedly considering resigning from his post at the FBI.

Vermaden’s Valuable News: A Monday Must-Read
Mondays are always tough, I think that’s true for everyone. But one thing that makes me happy it’s Monday is the consistent arrival of the “Valuable News” from Slawomir Wojciech Wojtczak – or simply Vermaden – @vermaden – as we know him. His newsletter covers the world of *BSD and Unix, technology in general, and offers a look at articles (both old and new) about the world and life in general.
Vermaden has been publishing his weekly newsletter for many years, and it’s a go-to resource for many. I can only thank him, on my behalf and, I imagine, on behalf of the entire community.
Here’s the link to this week’s edition, 14 July 2025.

Thoughts on needing, using, and changing a "home" VPN exit country, in the wake of increasingly restrictive internet laws.
Sorry if this is not the high brow discussion this com is for.
I travel a lot between different countries in the Middle East which have restrictive laws, and I live in one that is slowly becoming more competent technologically. I have to stay for an extended time in different places, so I’ve been connecting through always-on VPN out of the same place and it’s been working fine for now. But Digital ID laws are quickly going to close things off from me.
My risks that I’m trying to avoid are as follows:
Locally, I want to make sure my IPs aren’t connected to public accounts. I don’t say anything online that can put me in jail for the most part, but I don’t trust that this will always be the case. I also would appreciate being a bit separated from the local internet.
Elsewhere, I also don’t want my traffic to be monitored or my accounts to be tied back to my personal identity. For example, I don’t want to land in Dubai and to have my Steam account permanently affected by having “Spec Ops the Line” (banned game there) in my account (silly thing to worry about, but this is one tiny example out of many small issues that pile up). Plus, a lot of the internet is not accessible from these places, and I don’t like that, regardless of whether or not I want to peruse inaccessible internet stuff from there.
This has come with some serious downsides (online services are more expensive in Europe, where I have historically exited from), but it was/is worth the cost for me. Ironic that many VPN users seem to be trying to connect in the opposite direction than me (out of rich countries rather than in).
I’ve just been permanently using a single reputable VPN and single exit city for all of my traffic for the past while. Digital ID laws in the UK and EU will make this increasingly infeasible and I will probably have to exit out of somewhere new like Switzerland. I don’t know if those servers might be more trouble due to increased abuse for example.
Just want to know how others are dealing with this. Is just stomaching the wave of verifications after logging into all my emails from a new country the only price to pay? Is the world going to shit and should I rethink “just” using a VPN? Is it VPS time now that more and more things are being blocked from VPN access? Do I give up on the internet a decade ahead of schedule and chop wood in the woods until Israel’s AI mistakes my shack for a children’s hospital and drops heavy munitions on me?
I’m really hesitant to start using two sets of devices, some for insecure local traffic and some for encrypted traffic. I don’t think carrying like four laptops through airport security would keep eyes off of me.
like this
I don't think you need separate laptops, but a separate router may be useful.
If you use Linux, you can have apps isolated to their own lightweight network namespaces (like containers), using different VPNs. Otherwise VMs can serve a similar purpose on Windows and Macs.
Iptables can also be used to block traffic, and force it through proxies (which can be whitelisted by uid/gid) or VPNs.
If you want a more secure VPN setup, I'd even recommend having the VPN(s) running on the router (eg. portable OpenWRT setup) so your laptop never gets offered a public IP / connects directly to network. Put a proxy on it for special (eg. DNS based) routing exceptions, like banking from real IP, reddit via the US, etc.
Wipe before you leave and restore when you arrive. Carry a second, minimal device with limited smartphone features for when you need to contact someone between those times.
While in some place that worries you, audit and change your behavior and the way your software works in order to be more secure and less convenient. Limit computer use.
Figure out what method of storing data remotely works for you and use it, but don’t treat it as a backup.

There is this carrier I stumbled upon called Cape, calls itself America's privacy first carrier.
It claims to offer privacy and security and to only store necessary information.
We don’t collect your name, social security number, address, or other personal information. Any data we do receive (like call logs) is deleted after 60 days.We secure your account against SIM swaps—attacks to steal your phone number and access your accounts—with modern cryptography protocols.
Our proprietary signaling protection blocks attempts by bad actors to intercept calls and SMS via outdated signaling protocols like SS7.
Voicemails can hold sensitive information like 2FA codes. Cape encrypts your voicemails so only you have access to them.
We don’t collect your name or billing address at checkout, and Cape never sees your credit card details.

Idk, it surprises me it took so long for TP-Link to get into trouble with how they tend to support every HW revision of their routers for about a year and then stop releasing any security updates for them. That's awful for a device intended to sit at the edge of your network, possibly having a public IP address.
Like sure, you can look for any reasons you want, but not giving a fuck about security in a device that's always connected to the internet and also routes all user traffic is bound to get companies in trouble when someone with the power to do something about it notices.

All of this helped, but the fact that Mamdani secured the most total votes in a primary in New York City’s history marks the culmination of a grassroots political project that began at least back in 2015, when the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) announced a “New Strategy for a New Era,” energized by the early days of Bernie Sanders’s first presidential run.
Over the past nine years, NYC-DSA has built a field organizing machine that is arguably the strongest electoral operation in municipal politics nationwide. Through wins and losses in local, state, and federal elections, NYC-DSA has learned strategic lessons, developed significant logistical capacity, created a volunteer base for canvassing and outreach, and nurtured a cadre of experienced electoral campaign workers who work on endorsed campaigns.
To the Field First, Comrades!

Seeking interop testing for geosocial ActivityPub client
Hey, all! I’m seeking some help testing an application I whipped up for the Geosocial task force of the W3C Social Web Community Group. It’s called https://checkin.swf.pub/ , and it’s a barebones checkin service, similar to Swarm, but implemented as a pure Web client. You can watch the application in action.
videopress.com/embed/zCMu0OeZ?…
It logs into your account on an ActivityPub server using OAuth 2.0. It then reads your inbox, filtering the activities there to only show geosocial ones. You can use the geolocation services in the browser, and the places.pub/ service for a place vocabulary, to find nearby places. You can then “check in” to one of the places, with a note, and control of the privacy of the activity.
Geosocial activities are part of the core Activity Vocabulary that underlies ActivityPub. But, they’re not as widely implemented as other activities in the vocabulary. This app is trying to change that, by making them available on the network, and making it easy to create them.
To test the client, your service will need to support:
- Webfinger (for login)
- ActivityPub API (“client-to-server”, “C2S”)
- FEP-d8c2 (OAuth 2.0 profile for ActivityPub API)
- proxyUrl (for fetching data from remote servers)
To test federation, your service will need to support:
As of this writing, Mastodon does not work for either of these. If you want to test receiving federated messages, follow me on evan@onepage.pub . I’ve been using it a lot!
Code for the checkin application is here: github.com/social-web-foundati…
This is my second ActivityPub API client (ap, the command-line client, was my first), and my first one for the Web. I found this process really fun and invigorating. I was able to create a new kind of social networking application (well, new on the Fediverse…) purely from the client side. The app saves no data to the server; everything is done in the browser.
Please reach out on GitHub or comment here if you want to work on interoperability. I’m happy to help debug connections if needed.

Cameroon's President Biya, 92, announces bid for eighth term in office
Cameroon's President Paul Biya, the world's oldest serving head of state at 92, has announced he will run in this year's presidential election in October."I am a candidate in the presidential election. Rest assured that my determination to serve you matches the urgency of the challenges we face," he posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday.
A new term would keep Biya in office until he is nearly 100. He came to power more than four decades ago in 1982, when his predecessor Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned. The country has had only two presidents since its independence from France and the United Kingdom in the early 1960s.
Biya scrapped presidential term limits in 2008, clearing the way for him to run indefinitely. He won the 2018 election with 71.28 percent of the vote, although opposition parties alleged there were widespread electoral irregularities.
His re-election bid had been widely anticipated, although his age and health are the subject of frequent speculation and criticism.
Biya also used social media to announce his candidacy for 2018's presidential contest, in a rare show of direct engagement with the public on social media.
In his recent post, Biya described an "increasingly restrictive international environment" and acute challenges for Cameroon, adding that he had decided to "respond favourably to the urgent calls coming from the 10 regions of our country and from the diaspora" to stand for election.
Members of the ruling Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM) and other supporters have publicly called for Biya to seek another term since last year.
Grégoire Owona, deputy secretary-general of the CPDM, told RFI: "At the party level, we had no doubts about this candidacy."
However, two former allies have quit the ruling coalition and announced their own plans to run in the election.
Issa Tchiroma Bakary, Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, left the government before declaring his presidential candidacy under the banner of his party, the FSNC.
Bello Bouba Maïgari, a minister of state and former prime minister – and a long-standing ally of Biya's for nearly 30 years – also declared his candidacy.
Opposition parties and some civil society groups argue that Biya's long rule has stifled economic and democratic development. The opposition remains deeply divided however, and is struggling to unite behind a single candidate.
Maurice Kamto, Biya's fiercest opponent of Biya, who came second in the 2018 presidential election, and Cabral Libii, a prominent opposition figure, are already in the running for the presidency.
Sunday's announcement has revived the debate over Biya's fitness for office. He seldom makes public appearances, often delegating responsibilities to the chief of staff of the president's office.
Last October, he left Cameroon for 42 days with no explanation, sparking speculation that he was unwell. The government responded by banning any discussion on his health, saying it was a matter of national security.
Under Biya's rule, Cameroon has faced economic challenges and insecurity on several fronts, including a drawn-out separatist conflict in its English-speaking regions and ongoing incursions from the armed Islamist group Boko Haram in the north.
The date of the presidential election was set for 12 October last Friday by the head of state himself. Candidates have until 21 July to declare their intention to run.

in reply to geneva_convenience • • •I don't know of any cases of imperialism recently, though I see what appear to be conflicts incorrectly framed as such.
For example, many say this about the Israeli/Arab conflict. However, this conflict is thousands of years old. The Israelis solidly lost a war to keep their land in the BC era, then after WWII, leaders decided to undo the loss, again by force. Predictably, the Arabs, having lived there for thousands of years now (since they were Babylonians!) were not happy. It is not simple.
The Israeli return may have been orchestrated by the imperial powers, but I would argue this is not imperialism or even a bad thing. Consider the colonial invasion of the Americas. That was clearly imperialism because my ancestors had never lived there, and had no claim to the land. We just wanted it. At best, we thought we could make better use of it than the natives. That was not the case with Israel, whose ancestors largely were the natives.
Of course, persecuting Palestinians is wrong. Imagine if thousands of years from now, the American Indians, supported by the international community, forced Americans to adopt their customs and religion or leave. That would not be right either, even though maybe they should have their land back!
We need to share in these cases, and are unfortunately bad at sharing.

Just like they are doing now. The only marginal difference is that there are not enough Ukrainians to alter electoral balances, and Russia would be able to dissolve the population of Ukraine via forced relocations instead of just killing them all. Both are genocide by the way.

They are trying to move 5 million Russians into Ukrainian territory, and have confiscated tens of thousands of homes after making their owners war refugees and are giving them to Russians.
They have kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, and they are not just educating them to be Ukrainians accepting Russian rule, but they want to completely Russify them as a further attempt of erasing the Ukrainian nation.
geneva_convenience
in reply to ℍ𝕂-𝟞𝟝 • • •19.500 according to Ukrainian sources. Incidentally Israel has killed more children than this.
The goal of settler colonialists is to wipe out the native population and replace it with their own race, not forcibly assimilate it.
ℍ𝕂-𝟞𝟝
in reply to geneva_convenience • • •Settler colonialism is not about race, it's about the goal of eliminating one society by forcibly establishing another and pushing the original one out. What you are talking about is called ethnic cleansing. Settler colonialism attacks the idea of Palestine and Ukraine, ethnic cleansing is killing people systematically because they are Palestinian or Ukrainian.
Israel does their settlement one way, because they are racially and religiously motivated, Russians do their settlement another way because they are imperialistically and national chauvinistically motivated.
Yes, they are not exactly alike, but the actions and end goals don't differ as much as the motivations.

There's Russian colonization of Crimea but the goal of Russia is to annex Ukraine and forcibly assimilate its population. Not to wipe out or expell all Ukrainians.

The Anschluss and the annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia were both justified under the guise of protecting and uniting ethnic Germans in the regions, Hitler even said he'd totally, for realsies stop after that. But I wouldn't expect .ml'ers to care about anything that happened before the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact broke down.

I do find it interesting that the article you provided makes no mention of Soviet annexation (Imperialism? Colonization? Liberation? Let me know which hyperspecific term for invading another country I should use) of the pre-Brest-Litovsk territory they lost.

Imperialism. Unless the USSR expelled or tried to exterminate the citizens of conquered territory, that would be settler colonialism.
