How would you heal a stomach ulcer? #asknostr

a nice little hack I discovered today is to use claude code or any other LLM to inspect your firewall rules for security risks. Either give the LLM some read access to pfsense/opnsense APIs (non-sensitive ones) or dump your config to xml (and remove sensitive info). Ask it to look for oppurtunities for an attacker to move laterally, etc. Then have it generate curl commands for fixing the holes via the APIs. As a bonus, set this up as a cron job for regular security reviews.

Instead of asking my daughters “what are you going to be when you grow up?”, I’ve started asking “What businesses are you starting today?”.

I quit my job of 11 years in march and it’s been the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time. Suddenly I’m calmer, happier, more in shape than I’ve been in a while. The anxiety has gone. I’m more in sync with the family. I also have 3 business opportunities on the go and teaming up with some cool people. I’m also solving more problems and writing more code than I’ve written in years. Being in the zone feels good.

A neat trick I learned from someone here on nostr that I finally got to setting up today. On my postfix mail server I have a wild card that forwards any emails to any user in my domain to my main user account. Then when I need a burner email, such as a gym membership or something, on the spot I just make up an email address and hand it over. When the spam starts rolling in I just hit a key in neomutt that adds that burner address to a shit list and all emails to that address get sent to /dev/null and bounce. Bloody beautiful.

Today I finally got to the point where I could delete 20 years of photos and emails off Google servers. I have been self hosting for a few years now but never quite cut the cord.

They got this rear end just right. Aesthetically pleasing. If you want good car content on nostr I highly recommend following @AK 👸🏻

Obsessed with Radiohead right now

The lines on the E46 M3 are 😘

The 79 transam is beautiful.

So I “vibe coded” a new business for 2 weeks straight, then I stopped and really looked at the code and it was absolute junk. I also feel dumber. I’ve started from scratch with minimal LLM input. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s good for prototypes, brainstorming, building fast tooling, boilerplate. What did I miss?
