Hoy es un día muy especial para mí: Gaussianos cumple ¡¡20 años!! Mira la cifra y casi que no me lo creo...
He escrito una entrada en la que, entre otras cosas, hablo un poco de todas las épocas por las que ha pasado Gaussianos y algo de su futuro https://t.co/ue2UWhnjJo
Hace una semana Anthropic publicaba un artículo y paper sobre lo que piensa Claude internamente que mezcla varios conceptos tanto técnicos de modelos de lenguaje como de filosofía de la mente.
Así que me ha parecido que puede ser útil este artículo explicando ese paper.
I co-founded pfSense. For the last year I've been building its successor.
If you run pfSense today, you already know the reasons to look around: development you can't influence, a CE edition that feels like an afterthought, FreeBSD driver roulette on modern hardware, and a config workflow where one bad apply on a remote box means a drive.
nfSensei is my answer. Built from scratch in Rust, on Linux, and designed around the things pfSense users actually complain about.
Your config.xml imports. There's an importer that reads your pfSense config, shows you exactly what maps over and what needs attention, then applies it. You don't start from zero.
You can't brick it from the couch. Changes stage as a candidate, diff before apply, validate through the real engines before anything is written, and auto-roll-back if you don't confirm in time. If a config ever fails at boot, the box falls back to the last good one on its own.
The hardware works. Linux base means modern NICs and drivers just work — and the fast path compiles your rules to XDP at 40Gbps.
Automation is native, not scraped. Everything the UI does is a documented API call — about 1,140 of them, with a built-in explorer. Your Ansible finally gets a real interface.
The VPNs are current. WireGuard, IPsec, Tailscale, and self-hosted mesh — your own control plane, your keys — plus post-quantum key exchange where it counts.
The experimental stuff has its own wing. Thirty-plus Labs features behind toggles: WAN bonding that fuses multiple cheap uplinks through a $5 VPS into one resilient pipe, per-flow SLA telemetry with tamper-evident audit chains, GeoDNS that steers traffic by live RTT and load, application-aware QoS, config push to a whole fleet of remote nodes, and an AI assistant on the box that reads your actual interfaces and logs using local models. Toggles are per-browser and can't touch your running config — flip things on, break them, tell me about it. Oh, and there is much more to mention here!
Self-hosted, on your hardware, no cloud account, no subscription.
It's NOW IN ACTIVE BETA (previously alpha) with about 40 testers, and bug reports typically get fixed in days. I want more people who know what pfSense does well and can tell me exactly where nfSensei falls short.
If you are interested in testing please email me: [email protected]. Tell me about your pfSense setup and I'll get you access.

En la uni solía estudiar con un amigo. Era un tipo bastante listo. Ambos queríamos aprobar las asignaturas y largarnos corriendo de allí.
Él aprendía a resolver los problemas que solían caer en los exámenes, y le iba bien.
Yo necesitaba entenderlo todo.
Un día, en la biblioteca, estábamos haciendo unos ejercicios de exámenes de años anteriores. Eran de microelectrónica, de tercero de carrera.
Hicimos el mismo ejercicio y llegamos al mismo resultado. Pero, al encerrar satisfechos el guarismo final en un recuadro, yo puse dentro las unidades y él no.
—Tío, está bien, pero no te olvides de poner las unidades.
Se quedó pensativo y empezó a reírse.
—¿Y qué unidades son?
Estábamos calculando la longitud de puerta de un transistor. Eran nanómetros. Pero le pregunté, y no tenía ni idea de lo que estaba calculando. Había obtenido perfectamente el resultado final, pero no sabía qué era lo que había calculado.
Yo no podía escribir en el papel sin entender exactamente qué diablos estaba haciendo.
Ambos nos titulamos y nos largamos corriendo de allí.
De viaje en Valladolid, a mi suegro se le ha movido un stent y tienen que hacerle un cateterismo, pero no pueden acceder a su historial médico, gestionado por el Sergas gallego. Como si estuviera en un país extranjero.
No sé como alguien puede justificar este disparate.
Stoked to join @ericonidentity, @Thomas_Live, and soon @vanhybrid as we kick off this initiative. Equally an HONOUR to have @NathanMcNulty on our first recording.
Identity Roundtable was born out of the realisation that often the most valuable Entra and AD insights come from conversations and thrashing stuff out + learning together. Basically: I wanted a way to ask stupid questions, pick these guys' brains every month, and learn stuff that the docs and self-teaching just don't cover :)
