It’s so sketch… anyone who trusts NetBoot.xyz is asking to be pwned. You need to serve your own iPXE files and cached ISOs.
... Via netboot.xyz? https://netboot.xyz/docs/selfhosting/
News to me, this seems reasonable

NetBoot.xyz is one of the most sketch projects on the internet, yeah nope nope nope.
What is sketchy about it? I think you know something the rest of us don't.
I didn’t realize people were talking about self hosted. For public NetBoot.xyz: Even if they deliver isos matching publicly available checksums, you can’t trust they won’t inject kernel parameters unwittingly. If I was a cyber criminal I would find NetBoot.xyz a fine place to build out a bot net.

#44Has anyone else noticed how readily identifiable AI generated text is? This is a very cool project, and I suppose it's hard to know for sure, but everything about the site describing the project "feels" AI generated to me. I do not say this to detract from the value of the project or its very interesting nature, by the way. Just an orthogonal observation.

#45Last year I released my version of this: https://pxehost.com Pxehost is much less featureful than Bootimus, no dashboard, and only supports netboot.xyz. I am curious how Bootimus got udp broadcast to work via Docker on arm macOS. I could not figure that out and it’s why I released pxehost as a cross platform binary. We need a good ISO to set up new hosts to run firecracker VMs in k3s. That would be a killer homelab t…
There used to be a Debian Live iso builder website for building custom Debian Live isos. It probably is discontinued, I can't seem to find it anymore.

It's the staccato sentences
Yes, I wonder why the models do that so readily.
People's shortening attention span. Must retain.
Explanation still required, therefore statement must concisely outline product. Feature retains attention.
Simple outtro. Attention retained.
It is not a bug, it is a feature.

#48What does this have over netboot.xyz ??
Author of Bootimus Here - It's not based on some mental Ansible system with a CI/CD Pipeline tied in github to get a freaking custom ISO to show on the menu.
That being said, Bootimus can chainload to netboot.xyz if you so wish.

#49Performative UI unnecessary green status dot: check! Slop websites are getting very old very fast. https://vorpus.github.io/performativeUI/#/components/status-...
Author of Bootimus here, for a internal facing admin panel, it would be great for you to show me some of your work so i can take inspiration - that being said, I'm a backend engineer not a frontend.

#50Curious why they'd go for DHCP instead of DHCPv6 for something new in 2026. Is there firmware around that still doesn't support IPv6, or is it simply that PXE over IPV6 isn't that common in general?
IPV6 is retarded and no one uses it.
