Though they've been gone for several years now, within the walls of my grandparents' house, I could still sense their presence, hear their voices, and smell their familiar scents. Closing the door for the last time today marked more than just an end to my visits—it symbolized the closure of my childhood and adolescence. It's an incredibly sad day for me. Yet, in this moment of reflection, I'm reminded that the sun will rise again tomorrow. Life, in all its facets, continues to move forward. This includes the BSD-based mail system I've been diligently working on, which is nearing a significant milestone.

A super-simple #emoji keyboard for #x11.
Well, I *did* have to fiddle with the keymap.
And I had to add delays 🤯👹 (otherwise there are races between keymap changes and keyboard events).
And I had to misuse the #Xtest extension, cause applications ignore "synthetic" events. 🫥😣
But hey, it works 🕺
Now needs some basic, uhm, "features" (like recently used, like search by name).

GPL is a jealous license: If I can't use your code, you can't use mine.
BSD/MIT/X are generous: If you want to use this, you can.
Which follows from where they were made. RMS was upset nobody from SAIL wanted to be near him, and they had printer drivers and he didn't. It's a license for petty people.
BSD was heroic Berkeley hippies giving away their hackery, liberating UNIX from AT&T. It's for heroes.

⏱️ FreeBSD Zero to Desktop Speedrun Challenge

https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2024/04/05/freebsd-zero-to-desktop-speedrun-challenge
I know, it’s limited, because it’s running on my resources that I can provide for free to the community - it’s not much and we’re starting with just 50 free systems, but there’s hope to increase it by time. I also already got in touch with other ones that have similar ideas where we could boost this up.
Huzzah! 
So quick and easy to upgrade from 7.4 to 7.5, even on this crusty iMac! It actually took me longer to upload the pic and post this. 
Thanks to all of the #OpenBSD devs for making these releases possible!

#Nextcloud has never provided official support for #BSD, which, to a certain extent, seems reasonable to me. However, if Frank @Karlitschek 's statement today regarding 'Nextcloud remaining 100% committed to open source' is accurate, it is unreasonable that future versions/installations could not be reproduced on other 'open source' operating systems, solely because a 'dockerization path' might be chosen.
Every time I visit Nextcloud's documentation, I get the impression of being a second-class citizen, always worried that with each new version, this project will turn into a farm of dockerized images.

NetBSD 10.0 released with improved performance and scalability on multiprocessor and multicore systems, improved ARM support, Argon2id as default password hashing algorithm, new and improved drivers, Xen and HyperV support improvements, support for POSIX.1e ACLs in FFS
Sharing some technical details about how I'm setting up the hosted email service. It will not be a service of BSD Cafe but tied to my own business. It will run entirely on BSD systems and on bare metal, NOT on "cloud" VPS. It will use FreeBSD jails or OpenBSD or NetBSD VMs (but on bhyve, on a leased server - I do not want user data to be stored on disks managed by others). The services (opensmtpd and rspamd, dovecot, redis, mysql, etc.) will run on separate jails/VMs, so compromising one service will NOT put the others at risk. Emails will be stored on encrypted ZFS datasets - so all emails are encrypted at rest - and only dovecot will have access to the mail datasets. I'm also considering the possibility of encrypting individual emails with the user's login password - but I still have to thoroughly test this. The setup will be fully redundant (double mx for SMTP, a domain for external IMAP access that will be managed through smart DNS - which will distribute the connections on the DNS side and, in case of a server down, will stop resolving its IP, sending all the connections to the other. Obviously, everything will be accessible in both ipv4 and ipv6 and in two different European countries, on two different providers. Synchronization will occur through dovecot's native sync (extremely stable and tested). All technical choices will be clearly explained - the goal of this service is to provide maximum transparency to users on how things will be handled.

Now, I’m running a friendly beta test within the #BSD Community (primary #BSDCafe & BSD fans) for free small sized hosted #VMs / #Jails (IPv6 only).

Don't get me started on #Debian - massive love for it.
#BSD ...enough said. Sane and stable systems.
Today I first tried Hyprland ... A very interesting window manager which feels a little bit crazy but works very well and can be enough customized
Using it together with mako (notifications), wofi (app launcher) and waybar (bar).
Any recommendations from anyone regarding tools that work great with Wayland?

OpenBSD: Relentlessly security & correctness focused. Theo is an asshole who's usually/always right.
FreeBSD: Comes with most of the nice amenities of a user-friendly UNIX. Fantastic documentation. Friendly community. Dragonfly, etc. have even more desktop stuff configured.
NetBSD: Works on your toaster & a computer from 1995 which sold 1000 units.

Hello #Fediverse, here's your "daily" OS-tan art!
To follow along with the other BSD image I posted before, I'll post this chibi one of FreeBSD and NetBSD!
I guess with this post I can talk more about FreeBSD-tan since there is little for NetBSD... she is far from stupid and could be seen as a closeted genius, surpassing even Plan 9-tan herself. She masks her intelligence as a testament to her concept of freedom, choosing her own path rather than conforming to societal ideals. In combat, her strategies are simple yet effective.
Initially part of the Unix Family faction, FreeBSD-tan and her sisters (OpenBSD-tan and NetBSD-tan) distanced themselves due to disciplinary issues and a lack of interest in the faction's regulations. Drafted into the Unix wars, FreeBSD-tan skillfully evaded arrest and later joined forces with her sisters and Plan 9-tan to form the User Space Gang.

@dexter From the register article floating around, SCALE is all about NAS and Kubernetes. iXsystems is probably going to push for tighter ZFS and Kubernetes integration for on-prem customers. That's a saturated market, IMO. But there's probably money there.
It would be interesting if some upstart #BSD devs started a company that tightly integrated bhyve and #ZFS on #FreeBSD. Made a slick web-based GUI around managing #bhyve / ZFS storage. Maybe one that honors gitops; ArgoCD (without k8s).

Hello #Fediverse, here's your "daily" OS-tan art!
This one is a group picture featuring FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD and OpenBSD!
I won't describe all the characters due to the word limit here but FreeBSD-tan, the second eldest of the BSD-tans, is a dynamic leader known for her spontaneity and love of adventure. Despite her laid-back demeanor, she completes tasks efficiently and on time. NetBSD-tan, her younger sister, is depicted as timid but with an adventurous side, reflecting the portability of NetBSD. FreeBSD-tan is depicted as a tall woman with blonde spiky hair and purple eyes, wearing punk-inspired clothing. Her weapon of choice is a nightstick.
DragonflyBSD is the one only without info for her character, so that can be left up to interpretation?

@linux_mclinuxface won't be using #redis in my projects anymore. Memcached is a FOSS, #BSD licensed alternative that's supported by devs from Netflix. Looking to replace redis usage with memcached.

#gmake (#GNU) or #bmake (#BSD, or other pmake descendant)?
Well, both excel and both suck, just in different areas. 🙈
When I started to build my own #make framework for my own projects, I opted for #gmake, just because it's more widespread and easy to get/install on most platforms.
gmake is strong with functions (even user-defined ones) and together with $(eval ...) can do some impressive meta-programming, even generating its own rules at runtime, although the code will be a bit hard to follow. One of its weaknesses that bother me most is, it doesn't know anything about numbers 😶 A simple thing like "is a greater than b" is close to impossible to answer without calling out to the shell ...
bmake seems quite compact and simple, typical BSD style, still with some strong features, e.g. very flexible variable expansions. It can do loops in a simple straight-forward way. bmake code tends to be more readable for more complex stuff, but also often a lot more verbose.
Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
today marks exactly 8 months since the BSD Cafe was announced to the world. Our community has grown and is made up of wonderful people who add tremendous value to the content seen both on our Mastodon instance and other channels (primarily Matrix).
For this, I am truly grateful!
One of the first services we launched was Miniflux, but, in fact, it never really "took off." The main reason, in my opinion, is that registrations are not open but require contacting me directly, which (I am aware) greatly limits the freedom to sign up. The reasons why Miniflux is not open for immediate registration are various, but the main one is that the developers offer paid hosting that helps fund the project. By offering a free service with immediate access here, I risked undermining them - something I wanted to avoid.
Therefore, I have decided to introduce another RSS Reader, namely FreshRSS. Registrations are open and free, and the tool, like the others, runs exclusively on BSD systems (currently, FreeBSD).
I will update the wiki page with information and instructions as soon as possible, but the server is already active and operational for a few days - and is now on the Status page.
So, point your browsers to https://freshrss.bsd.cafe and... happy reading!

Some days you think I'll just fix a bug.
And then you're knee-deep in yaml-powered tool written in python, suddenly falling through a hidden trapdoor into a shell script that uses sed and grep to parse the yaml configs, and you land on a bed of ancient monkey skulls.
At least you hope they're monkey skulls, because the inference could be its other devs who never made it back, and this sed/grep monstrosity is looking for something that was assumed to be on a single line, but doesn't have to be, because ... yaml is not an ini file.
The monkey skulls suddenly collapse into dust, and while you sneeze, you disturb a previously hidden nest of snakes (the python, you remember), which rises up to bite you on the arse. At least, its pretty close to your arse.
The only thing you can think of is to run screaming down random corridors looking for an exit, only to find that the config files that should be in /usr/local/etc are in fact in /etc/ and they point you to an escape route, even if its poorly documented, but its across a shoddy rope bridge over /var/lib/ and there are raging crocodiles below you. Skimming these files that don't respect hier(7) at all, you realise there's no choice - it's the bridge, and the crocs, and you'll need to move, fast.
Grabbing a fraying cord on the rope bridge, you struggle across as fast as you can. Of course, it pulls loose, and you swing wildly down towards the crocodiles. There's no way out now, but suddenly you realise -- /run/ isn't safe, but there's /var/run/ where this stuff should be, and at the last second, you swing over the crocs, into a hidden cave of the ancients.
There is a scroll, and it tells you how to get out. There are only two words:

Been away from my computers this weekend until today, and noticed that #OpenBSD-current is now tagged as OpenBSD 7.5-beta. Now begins the process of testing, and also the push to get that 7.4 shirt before 7.5 is released and 7.4 merch goes out of circulation.

Using one of my #thinkcentre models as a #NAS to cut the costs of running a full bore i5 PC.
I currently have two #ssd disks in there - #ZFS mirror.
I do not need the mirror setup at home. I rather have backups than high avilability here.
So, the #thinkcentre will be a jack of all trades to some extent.

🍃 FreeBSD Continues Push Toward Deprecating 32-bit Platforms
— Phoronix
"FreeBSD's John Baldwin laid out the 32-bit platform plans for FreeBSD moving forward: FreeBSD 15.0 is likely to do without ARMv6, i386 (x86 32-bit), and PowerPC platforms. Meanwhile the ARMv7 support will likely stick around until FreeBSD 16.0."

❝Experimental (testing for newcomers, and so on). This space includes various BSD- and FreeBSD-related rooms – two of which (lobby, general) are provided by the FreeBSD Project.❞
The space also includes:
— BSD Cafe rooms
— a well-populated FreeBSD room (established long before the space that is currently provided by The FreeBSD Project)
— a throwaway comments room, where (amongst other things) I test then delete Matrix links.

See you in Ottawa!
Living under 1.5GHz...
It is incredible the thing I can do and achieve with this little underpowered #arm #SBC #LibreComputer #Renegade! 
This wouldn't be possible without #Devuan and #WindowMaker though...
However I am pretty sure that I could squeeze up more performance with some #BSD, unfortunately the #SoC is supported but not the board...
