Log

Core Update 157

• No negative reports
• #12576 seems to cause graphs to not work on this release. This is a blocker

Core Update 158

• Fixes for #12616 are still pending (Stefan & Michael)
• linux-firmware (Michael)

IPsec with iOS

• Difficult to configure
• Needs documentation

Firewall rules based on Autonomous Systems

• Stefan suggests abusing xt_geoip
• Peter wants to play around with it as time allows
• Would require some good UI and AS names for ARIN & LACNIC (Peter)

Blocking websites based on 'fast flux'

• Peter has some code that pro-actively detects websites hosted on hijacked servers

Migrating towards modern software

• ntpd -> chrony: More robust
• sysklogd -> rsyslogd: Erik attempted this, but project stalled

Dropping Python 2

• Remove packages that have been dropped
• CRDA is the last (only?) blocker

jitsi.ipfire.org

• It Peter's gets his setup fixed, the next call will be a video call
