could drop in to your Xsetup_0 file. written in ksh, should work in OpenBSD’s ksh and NetBSD’s ksh.

No port. No sudoers parser. No setuid helper. Just a kernel MAC policy, a sysctl rule, and an explicit “SSH is the gate” security model.

Wrote up the full walkthrough for FreeBSD 15, including rule syntax, examples, caveats, and my surrounding hardening sysctls:

Me: you’ll know it when you’ll see it.

After years of “standalone” features that were just too clunky to use, I am moving back to the open ecosystem that started it all. Why?

- 30-day battery (estimated) vs. 30 hours
- No more charger-hunting
- Digital sovereignty & ease of dev
- Physical buttons for the win

It is time to stop charging the watch every night and get back to basics. ⌚️🔓
