@Gertjan that's a great feedback. If a you notice a valid post getting flagged please let us know. Thanks!

Aye especially read and understand the long post from @jimp there.

Ah sorry, as I couldn't edit my post (in this subforum), it was @jwt - my bad. 😄

Also converting ePub to mobi/azw or other formats isn't that hard. Calibre takes care of something like that 😏

Yeah, if you have ePub you can usually get it to whatever format you want with Calibre or other converters. Calibre makes everything much easier when it comes to managing books.

Don't know if it's related or not, but somehow I managed to get myself blacklisted from "forum.netgate.com."

I initially thought the forum was down as my attempts to refresh multiple forum pages took longer and longer and finally timed out. I can only guess my attempts to refresh multiple times was regarded as "nefarious" by some algorithm or other.

Eventually I tried from a clients site and was able to connect without an issue.
I prompted an IP address change for my home network and voila - all is well again.

Hopefully just more teething pains.....

We expect the store will be back online soon, then we can confirm the status. I'm truly sorry for this inconvenience. I'll update you once the store is back online. Thanks!

e: can you please send an email to sales@netgate.com so our sales can contact you with shipping status? Thanks!

No, courses are not recorded and are interactive. It's divided in segments allowing you to step away for a bit but, just like any other education such as Microsoft or Cisco, you will have to devote your day to it.

I replaced my USG router with the QNAP pfSense VM image and it seems to be running fine. Our DLS internet is VERY bad so I can't comment on speed. The QNAP is a TVS-882 with SSD's and spinning disks; running on Qtier. Might not be required but I dedicated two on the Qnap's NICs to WAN/LAN each on a differnt Qnap vSwitch. Had some issues with Container services not working. I'm also new to running pfSense but I like it so far and like having one less box in the closet. Couldn't get OpenVPN running (probably just me) on pfSense so I'm just running it on the QNAP like before.

@jimp said in Moving the pfSense® Documentation to GitHub:

The only parts you could lose in the process are specific to Github, like PRs, issues (if you use them), access controls on repos, and so on. But the contents are always easy to shove wherever you want with git.

Right, and as you are using internal systems to push that out to Github and run Redmine as issue tracker, you actually don't use that much Github specific features that would depend on the platform to continue as-is ;) Loosing issue/ticket informations (when using GitHub internal issue tracking) would be worse.

5 seconds searching this forum and you would already have your answer.

I am not panicking.

I dont run a web browser on my unit, and I dont give public users access to my unit either, it has no WAN entry allowed at all.

People need to remember these "potential" exploits dont have super powers, they dont bypass other barriers.  So yes I do think meltdown and spectre have had excessive public attention compared to other exploits.

OK, good but please start a new thread with next time and with more details instead of just leaving partial replies like this.

@PiBa:

Still leaves the strange loader.conf behavior thought where the vm.pmap.pti="0" setting gets added multiple times upon rebooting..

This is fixed now PiBa, thanks.
