🖥️ My ultra-budget server powering websysctl.alfonsosiciliano.net has been running smoothly for the past 2 months. So far, so good!

📈 hit tens of thousands of sysctl parameter pages daily. That's fine, since robots.txt allows it. But why keep requesting non-existent pages as if the site were built with WordPress 😤 ? Fortunately, the stack ( :freebsd: + 🌐 + ✏️ + a custom-built 📦 ) stays well within the limited resources of my $5/month cloud server.

The code might soon be stay tuned!

Screenshot of the "Tree MIB" page from the WebSysctl site. The left panel shows an expandable tree view of the FreeBSD sysctl MIB hierarchy, with nodes like sysctl, kern, vm, sys, security, and their subcategories. The security.mac.mmap_revocation_via_cow node is selected. The right panel displays detailed information about this sysctl parameter, including its link, OID, name, description ("Revoke mmap access to files via copy-on-write semantics, or by removing all write access"), type (integer), format (I), flags (RD, WR, MPSAFE), label, and handler status (Defined). The top navigation bar includes links: Home, Docs, Table, Tree (highlighted), Update, Login, and Contacts.

ensure that the User can trust the Wallet Solution

they buy the bs sold by google/apple huh

play integrity / safety net (aka drm) does not ensure the user of anything, all it does it take away the user’s ability to modify the software the devices they own run

This allows the operating system of the device to perform relevant checks regarding the authenticity of the app

no, it gives the app ways to check if the OS is unmodified, by google’s definition of unmodified.

the app shouldn’t check the os, the os should be safe by default and vet apps. should an user want to do a modification to their os that google did not personally approve, that should be none of the concerns of applications running under that os
