# Happy Halloween!
# Bryce inquired about BIOS RAID for his dualboot setup
## BIOS RAID is bad apparently
## Hardware RAID is only available via PCIE cards
# [https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs WinBTRFS]
## Missed opportunity to call it WinTRFS ("WinterFS")
## Scuffed, but apparently works
### Anthony used it for a Windows C:\ drive once
# Best project for mounting Linux partitions on Mac/Windows literally just runs an Alpine VM in the background and shares the drive via a local NFS share
## Kinda scuffed, but actually a smart way to do it
### All Linux filesystems would already be supported without writing new drivers
### LUKS/LVM/MDADM support would probably be trivial to add
## NOTE: Post-meeting I think I found it, it's called "[https://github.com/AlexSSD7/linsk linsk]"
# WireGuard and Tailscale presentation
## What is a VPN?
### Open Protocols like OpenVPN
### Proprietary protocols like F5 Big-IP VPN (booo!)
## What is WireGuard?
### Veeeery fast
### UDP-based
#### Nice advantage in that if a packet is invalid, it just silently drops it
#### Attackers have very hard time finding a wireguard server endpoint (versus services like SSH that send a handshake on first connect)
### Works off the fundamental properties of asymmetric crypto
#### Standard "Alice and Bob" setup [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography]
#### The server has a public and private key
#### Each client has a public and private key
#### The server has each client's public key
#### Each client has the server's public key
#### All messages sent are encrypted with that respective parties public key
## What is Tailscale?
### WireGuard on "easy mode"
### Much easier to configure
### Utilizes mesh network over the more common "hub-and-spoke" model
## What is Headscale?
### Self-hosted Tailscale
## Good resources to learn more
### [https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect OpenConnect project]
### [https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works How Tailscale works]
### [https://tailscale.com/kb/1151/what-is-tailscale What is Tailscale]
### [https://github.com/pirate/wireguard-docs Some WireGuard examples]
### [https://github.com/juanfont/headscale Headscale]
### [https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/ WireGuard protocol]
### [https://www.wireguard.com/#conceptual-overview WireGuard conceptual overview]
### [https://www.sectigo.com/resource-library/public-key-vs-private-key Sectigo primer on asymmetric cryptography]
# LUG Headscale server?
## Could help bypass NAT if you have a restrictive ISP
## Makes it easier to connect to your devices from anywhere (on/off campus, back home, etc)
## If we get our public IP subnet, we could do reverse-NAT through a VPN to give you an entire public IP for your homelab
## Tim's warning on GLRC admins apparently not liking orgs using their own VPNs
### Should we warn ITO/WMTU?
### Literally every org in the GLRC uses their own VPN over the crappy MTU F5 one, does IT really care?
# Wizard guy came in and gave us candy
## Thank you wizard guy
# Tech apparently has an official Tailscale server
## You'll see a bunch of random devices on an internal MTU Tailscale network if you authenticate with your @mtu.edu Gmail to the Tailscale app
## ...they respond to pings
## "What are the odds someone put an iDRAC in there?"
# GLRC Pizza Party has been decided!
## Meeting this Saturday @ 1PM, in the GLRC main lobby
## Little Caesars was voted the pizza of choice
