28. November 2021 in Administration, GNU/Linux, Technik.
I wrote a simple shell tool to interactively edit the current nftables ruleset using a terminal-based text editor (respecting environment variable EDITOR and defaulting to vim).

GRE Setup for Bacula on a Mobile Client
7. November 2021 in Administration, GNU/Linux, Technik.
