Me: That's not opinion. That's fact.

business headaches, whining and whinging and grousing and venting
If the #n4sa2e Kickstarter or the #openzfsmastery sponsorships do well, I'm planning to switch my commercial systems to MacOS. All that hits in September.
But this TPM garbage makes me want to run a gofundme experiment -- "hey folks, give me $4k to switch to Mac so I can end the agony of Windows!"
Not gonna. That would be rude, and whiny, and selfish in a world full of pain. But soooo tempted...
So, if I want to buy a paper book to learn about WireGuard, what's the book to buy? Is it Lin Song's? I also need to learn more about IPv6 at some point, so if there's some book that covers both, maybe that would be better? Or will the upcoming #n4sa2e have all the knowledge I'll need, @mwl ? #AskFedi #WireGuard https://www.biblio.com/9798987508909
Edit to add: I also need to learn more about pf, so answers which include that would also be welcome.
Should have posted yesterday: the new #60SecondsOfWIP is out.
This snippet explains why I wrote #n4sa2e.
okay, that's it. #n4sa2e is off sponsorship. 305 backers.
So: what's my next excuse for taking your money? SO glad you asked!

The "Networking for System Administrators" sponsorships close this weekend. If you're interested, this is your last chance. #n4sa2e
I think... that's a rough first draft on #n4sa2e?
I think it is?
I have to go through it again before it goes to tech review, but it's a thing. That means sponsorships will close this week.
"Setting up random netcat listeners around hosts in a security-conscious organization is a great way to get the Special Meeting with Human Resources, the CISO, the FIPS compliance officer, and perhaps even an assortment of attorneys."
Closing in on the end of #n4sa2e!
that's the packet capture section of #n4sa2e done. Only netcat (incarnated as ncat) and server-side packet filtering remain!
If you want to sponsor this, get on it now.
Viewing Windows packet captures, using Windows native tools?
First, gouge out your eyes. Or install Wireshark. You do you.
But #n4sa2e is going straight to Wireshark.
People don't listen when I declare that "anything can go over any port" so am pondering demonstrating netcat on UDP/53 for data transport. #n4sa2e
Here it is. Now that it's almost finished, I have finally expressed why I'm #writing #n4sa2e in the text of the book.
You can sponsor this book at https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/n4sa2e-sponsor/ and help me keep the pet rats fed while I work.
After a few repetitions of "firewall (whatever THAT word means)" in #n4sa2e, I'm thinking more and more that the word "firewall" should always appear in quotes.
Because seriously. The word "firewall" is so broadly used it is meaningless.
