  • IPSec Is Garbage!

    IPSec Is Garbage!

    We’re in the year 2024 now, and I’m having to set up an IPSec configuration for a site-to-site VPN connection. I have discovered that ipsec is still garbage all these years later. If anything it has only got worse than it was before since we now have over a decade of features and options piled on. Could someone please take this out back and put it out of its misery?

  • Serial Consoles Considered Legacy?

    Serial Consoles Considered Legacy?

    I love how serial consoles are considered legacy by some, yet on dev boards it is the only way to interact with it until you have an OS installed. Ubuntu seems to not only no longer support serial console installs (last mention was 16.04 and even that required modifying the installer a little), but they seem to no longer support pxe as well..? I guess I’ll look into a “legacy” distro then. Cursor search suggests Debian still supports both serial consoles and pxe…
