Fabricati Diem ☛ Deshittification as a Service: Reclaiming Privacy and Performance with OpenBSD pf and Unbound
Enforcing network sovereignty starts well before packets reach your router. It begins at Layer 2, where a separate managed switch enforces port isolation and tags traffic into dedicated VLANs long before it ever hits the OpenBSD gateway at Layer 3. Allowing an untrusted Smart TV or IoT hub to share a broadcast domain with your personal laptop invites immediate risk—rogue devices will attempt lateral port scans, flood the subnet with mDNS queries, and run ARP sweeps across your LAN.

Paul Tagliamonte ☛ Paul Tagliamonte: DESFire EV3
I’ve long been interested in hardware key material storage devices. I’ve been a fan of yubikeys (I still remember when my fancy new NEO-N showed up), PIV (and its associated smattering of additional fields), SaaS HSMs, the kernel keyring, some tooling I’ve fairly satisfied with the design of at prior companies, and of course, our dear friend, the TPM. All that is not even to mention the scores of exotic hardware security modules one generally comes across from time to time when you’re keeping a sharp eye out that you wind up playing with.
