Interesting Snippets from 2021-03-19

• GitHub - opnsense/update: OPNsense update tools

  opnsense-bootstrap(8) is a tool that can completely reinstall a running system in place for a thorough factory reset or to restore consistency of all the OPNsense files. It can also wipe the configuration directory, but won't do that by default. It will automatically pick up the latest available version and build a chain of trust by using current package fingerprints -> CA root certificates -> HTTPS -> OPNsense package fingerprints. What it will also do is turn a supported stock FreeBSD release into an OPNsense installation. Both UFS and ZFS installations are supported.

• Oh By - The Universal Shortener

  Is this also a URL shortener ? Yes. That's not the primary use-case, but if you enter nothing but a properly formatted URL, our site will give you the option of turning it into a simple redirect. You still generate an Oh By Code, but that code will now redirect to the URL. With no ads or tracking and no delays. If you're looking for a dead-simple URL shortener that respects your privacy and doesn't slow you down with ads or multi-megabyte interstitial pages, Oh By might be for you.
