Seeing your idea flourish into such a vibrant and supportive community is amazing. The positive atmosphere and mutual respect here are remarkable. It’s clear your hard work and vision have paid off.

You got me directly attracted last year on Twitter when I started with social medias and we shared exactly the same mindset - not only about #BSD related content but also about how a community around should look like. You got me back more into the community and into community related services and #opensource. I took the opportunity to create a service like #BoxyBSD for the BSD community, which provides free #VMs (#FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenSolaris, #illumos) for the community to learn, practice or to build their projects. Not everyone can afford own systems to learn in real setups and here we come back to the community mindset - which I honestly took over from you by providing us all your great services!

Getting in touch with all the members of the #BSDCafe it was clear that we need something like a meeting - so we got the #BSDPub, where we can meet, discuss and share knowledge. I feel like home here in the BSDCafe and I can only recommend everyone who's interested into BSD to join.

Wishing you many more successful years ahead. Thank you for everything!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the BSD Pub Meeting tonight either. I had a bit of the flu on Monday and Tuesday, so I had to postpone all my appointments and I have one at 17, which means I won't be able to get home in time. I could attend from the office, but they've announced some electrical work in the building, and there will be no power until 20.

It's just not meant to be today...

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the BSD Pub meeting today either - a series of commitments and appointments will keep me busy until late evening. I'm really sorry because this meeting is a source of pleasure and relaxation for me, but sometimes duty calls...

I love getting such mails! Thanks a lot for shipping them @mischa@exquisite.social & @OpenBSDAms@bsd.network!

Today at #bsdpub 😅

Friends of the #BSDCafe, #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD enthusiasts and the entire #Fediverse,

Curious about #BoxyBSD?
Join Florian - @gyptazy - as he dives into its creation, architecture, and community support.
Perfect for BSD beginners and pros alike!

We have passionated people and developers that were brought together by the BSD Cafe, sharing the same mindset, having the same ideas - boosting up the community. Especially the #BSD one and also trying to attract #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD and all the other awesome flavours to beginners. We see people working and developing new things to make beginners life easier, using #BoxyBSD service for this (like @harshad@sharma.io does with #Freeway), syncing in the #BSDCafe Matrix chat and discussing those things in the #BSDPub calls with the community. Providing deep detailed information, like you did yesterday with your blogpost where #Proxmox on #Linux got compared to #bhyve on #FreeBSD (both running on #ZFS, but also #LVM/#EXT4) are the important things to boost the visibility of BSD! Also keeping up and together the community is very important. Without this place, many things would have never happen!

Everyone puts his time and efforts in pushing the community, to make it a little bit better by each day.

So, thank you and everyone here!

For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to thank @gyptazy
His BSD Pub is a weekly event of great interest to me, managed with precision and a will to create a true and solid community, in the pure spirit of the BSD Cafe idea.
Additionally, yesterday he helped me with some insights regarding the latest article on my blog, preventing potential questions that might have arisen.

So, thank you for everything!

It was only the ones from the first link, I didn’t even know the second - thanks for sharing!

I hope to attend the EuroBSDCon24 and to meet you all in reallife. I think with the #BSDPub it already took a good way into this to get in touch with the community in a more personal way :) however, meet & greet in RL is something different and I’m happily looking forward I to it to gonna happen :)

Good morning #FreeBSD, #NetBSD & #OpenBSD fans!

The #BoxyBSD service is live for quite a while and it got a little bit silent - things just run and work. Are you missing anything?

Do you have any wishes that could help you to boost up your personal knowledge or your opensource project?

We just wrapped up another fascinating session of the #BSDPub meeting. We discussed Mike Karels, the release of FreeBSD 14.1, #Freedive, cats against technology, #Pilldroid, GPL and BSD licenses, some intriguing ideas to attract more users to the BSD world, and a couple of interesting presentations to deliver. Thanks to everyone who participated, and... Stay tuned!

This evening, I really wished I could join the #BSDPub Meeting. It's been an extremely stressful day, it's pouring rain, and I'm dead tired. Unfortunately, I won't make it on time (I'll probably be home by 21), I have a headache, and I could really use some good chat with friends at our favorite pub.
Next time for sure...
But in the meantime, I've taken voice notes for a new (short) post on my blog that I hope to write tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to partecipate to today's #BSDPub meeting 😔

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,

The second presentation from #BSDPub, hosted by @gyptazy, is now available on our BSD Cafe YouTube channel.

Join me as I delve into the infrastructure of BSD Cafe and share techniques on managing its backups. This talk was part of the BSD Pub Meeting held on 23/05/2024.

Watch the presentation here: https://youtu.be/GcaylXGt2j8

@maulanahirzan This morning I'll also publish the video from the last #BSDPub meeting, showing how I manage the BSD Cafe backups. I'll also announce it here in a couple of hours.

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, some of the presentations at #BSDPub, hosted by @gyptazy are noteworthy and many of you who couldn't attend might be interested in watching them.

We have therefore decided to create a channel for BSD Cafe (currently on YouTube, but I have other ideas more aligned with the OpenSource spirit of the Fediverse) where the most requested and interesting talks will be published.

The first video is the presentation of Freedive, a mobile-first web interface to run FreeBSD as a personal/public server. Developed and presented by Harshad - @harshad - it allows you to manage FreeBSD server or jail services directly from a mobile device—a dream come true for all of us who often find ourselves typing commands on the tiny keyboards of today's smartphones.

I highly recommend everyone to watch Harshad's presentation here: https://youtu.be/YhKQsPVM8sQ

In the coming days, I will also publish my presentation on the basic infrastructure of BSD Cafe and the management of its backups.

Stay tuned!

Tonight's BSDPub meeting was really interesting, and next week we already have the first major topic: backups and their strategies.
It will be really fascinating.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Thanks for joining and sharing all your insights! But there's one more thing - should the call keep time boxed of 60 minutes or open end? I think today we would have needed more time but I can clearly understand when the call takes too long in the evening and people start to drop. People can of course stay in the room even after the official meeting.

#BSDCafe #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #helloSystem #BastilleBSD #cbsd #ezjail #jails #zfs

QuickStart:
pkg install cbsd
service cbsdd start
env workdir="/usr/jails" /usr/local/cbsd/sudoexec/initenv
cbsd jconstruct-tui
cbsd jstart 1

Use the tui to get familiar and afterwards you may use it without (if needed).

If you like, there’s also the Matrix channel and the weekly #BSDPub call. If you’re interested - feel free to jump in :)

Hello everyone, unfortunately I won't be able to attend the BSD Pub Meeting tomorrow - a scheduled appointment, previously set for 16:00, has been rescheduled to 18:00 so I won't be able to make it home or to the office by 19:00. I'll be there next week though. Have a great meeting to all those who will be attending!

#BSDPub

I've just created a new Matrix room for the BSDPub - Weekly Meeting coordination/chats.

You can reach it here: #bsdpub:bsd.cafe

#Matrix #BSDCafe #BSDPub #Community #RunBSD

Just wrapped up the first virtual meeting of 'BSD Pub,' hosted by @gyptazy
Had a delightful and friendly conversation with wonderful folks, and some really interesting ideas emerged for the future. Thanks to everyone and... looking forward to the next meeting!

Details will be posted on the corresponding page: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub

@gyptazy I see you listed a #Jitsi link in the #BSDPub meeting.

Do you run Jitsi on #FreeBSD?

Our first weekly will start on the 25th, April 2024 at 7 PM (GMT+2).

You can find all the details on the #BSDCafe wiki:
https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub

For the first one, I already created a small agenda (https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub-meeting-minutes-2024-04-25). You are highly encouraged to modify and extend this, as well as upcoming agendas!

Overview:
Day: Thursdays (weekly)
Time: 7 PM - 8 PM (GMT +2)
Where: https://meet.gyptazy.ch/BSDPub (Jitsi)
Infos: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub
Agenda: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub-meeting-minutes-2024-04-25
Info: No recordings, no deep tech dives (keep it simple, we have calls for the details, no pressures to anyone, have fun and enjoy)

When I started the poll to ask for interests in such a meeting I wasn’t sure that even more than 5 people would be interested. I’m happy to see this amount of interested BSD users. I’m aware of the different timezones and it might make sense to have a second timeslot. This one mostly covers the European and near-east users. I’m happy to hear suggestions regarding preferred timeslots for the US, Asia,… so far, I’m happy to see at least a few of you next Thursday in the call!

Different timezones make it really hard to just have a single meeting and it might end up in two or even three ones but also trying to avoid fragmentation. But this will probably work out more in an iterative way…

The current idea is to start Thursdays, 7pm GMT+2 in an unmoderated public jitsi session where everyone can join. I think the targeted user group is able to handle it in that way, like we always do.

The question is also, do we want to have an agenda or only open minded jump in and see how it works out?! My experience is, that people might be shy to start talking, it’ll be silent and people start to drop’s drop. An agenda might be helpful for an initial start but I also want to avoid having an introduction round where everyone tells something about himself. I mean, this can be done optionally, but I’m also aware of it that some may feel uncomfortable with this. This round should just make fun and not make any pressure or someone feeling uncomfortable.

So, agenda or open minded and free to talk for the first sessions?

Hey #BSD Fans!

We all share the same interests - #BSD based systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD.

We chat all day, sharing thoughts, questions and help. We talk on Matrix across different channels, we share on the #Fediverse. We have @vermaden@bsd.cafe's newsletter, we have @dexter@bsd.network's #FreeBSD #Jails and #bhyve calls and many other ones I can't list here.

Wondering if there would be and interests in the #BSDNetwork, #BSDCafe, etc., for a weekly smalltalk session like in a pub. Just a Jitsi based video/audio call where we can meet, discuss things from newsletter, trending things from the #Fediverse or just have off-topic and openminded discussions. This could result into the #BSDPub meeting.

I know, some people are shy - keep your cam off until you feel comfortable and feel free to join the discussions. Even this meetings should make fun and no pressure - so if someone is not in the mood or can't make it - no worries. No one will judge.

Would you be interested?
