What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

Today in , it's pf(4)

Having lived through several iterations of firewall management tools on Linux (and FreeBSD offers both IPFW, IPFilter, and pf in the base system), I've come appreciate the simplicity and declarative nature of pf.conf for my firewall management.

The only downside is the quirky syntax of pfctl(8) but I do like being able to run my rules through it to sanity-check them from vi/ed with

:w !pfctl -nvf -

before installing them.

+++Medienspiegel zu unseren Palantir-Recherchen und die Stellungnahme von Palantir-Kadern selbst+++

In Deutschland haben unsere Schweiz-Scoops einige Fragen aufgeworfen.. "Grünen-Geheimdienstexperte Konstantin von Notz kritisiert den Einsatz der Überwachungssoftware Palantir in Deutschland. Grund sind neue Erkenntnisse aus der Schweiz. Innenminister Dobrindt gerät unter Druck", schreibt beispielsweise die Wirtschaftswoche. Der Standard, Netzpolitik.org und weitere griffen diese Woche unsere Recherche mit Fokus auf den Evaluationsreport der Schweizer Armee ebenfalls auf. Und es folgen bald noch weitere Artikel (stay tuned!)

In der Schweiz? Schweigen im digitalen Blätterwald (bis auf ein paar Ausnahmen wie 20min.ch, soweit ich es überblicken kann). 😉 🤨 Bei den Ringier-Medien verwundert das ja nicht. Aber bei den Anderen?

Meanwhile hat ein von uns befragter Palantir-Kadermann mit seinem eigenen "Factchecking" auf unsere beiden Artikel bei LinkedIn reagiert. "It’s a shame that with all the cooperation and access granted to Republik, they couldn’t exercise the integrity to push beyond salacious conspiracies and cheap recitals of already-debunked Palantir myths. Swiss readers deserve better."

Na dann... 😉

Sunday reading: I wrote about how the regime’s latest racist hate campaign is tied to the Right’s broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalist vision.

A deep dive into the Right’s visions of blood-and-soil nationalism:
