  • I appreciate you taking the time to implement this and answering some questions! I have a follow up question- What’s the benefit of using asymmetric encryption here? You’re not signing the message ( you probably should imo ) and you don’t appear to support sharing encrypted notes ( i.e a user provides one or more additional public keys that a note is encrypted for ). You’re basically doing symmetric encryption with the pain of key management

    It’d be simpler ( from a user and code perspective )to use symmetric encryption ( something like aes-256-gcm or ChaCha20-Poly1305 for example ) and use key wrapping to avoid encrypting user data directly and you’d have stronger crypto as a result

    You’re right that PGP is a valid encryption method but it’s not very popular in the modern day because it’s very hard to get right. Latacora has a great post on the PGP Problemand the Soatok blogs that u/litchralee linked are well worth a read too








  • I used to run PFSense ( pretty much the same as Opensense ) and really liked it but moved over to Ubiquity in the last year or so. Here’s my 2 cents…

    Go with Ubiquity if you want a single unified interface for managing all your devices. You’ll have “soft vendor lock in”, their kit will work just fine with a mix of hardware but it’s best if everything is Ubiquity

    Go with Opensense if you want complete flexibility in the kit you’re using. I feel likeI had more fine grained control with PFSense than I do with Ubiquity but I think that’s a symptom of how the UI/UX rather than the features

    You can do the same stuff with both options. I’m very happy with my Ubiquity set up, I don’t see myself changing anything anytime soon


  • The CAB Forum only govern public CAs and certificates and the use of certs on the public internet. Your private PKI will be unaffected by the new changes. On top of that the change will be introduced gradually, the first reduction is in March 2026 and will limit certs issued after March 2026 to 200 days so even if you saw some impact for some reason you’d still have a couple of months to put a fix in place

    Freshman need to accept the cert once (hopefully after checking the fingerprint)

    Nobody is checking the fingerprint, nobody
