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
#BSDPub #BSD #BSDCafe #OpenSource #Community #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #DragonFlyBSD #RunBSD
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!

Long post
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?

A story and discussion around how knowing powers of two can be useful
Today on the #HackerPublicRadio #Community #Podcast
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?

#gratitude #positivity #community
The same thanks, belatedly, from me, to the friends of #BSDCafe –@stefano in particular.
There'll be others for me to thank, on Tuesdays, from 9th April onwards.
I want to launch a hashtag where, every Tuesday, I'll post a message and it would be great if it became a habit for many.
In a world full of conflicts, selfishness, and egocentrism, it would be nice to focus on the good that others do, what makes our lives better thanks to the contribution of others.
My first #ThankYouTuesday to the friends of #BSDCafe - both within the community servers and beyond - who have undoubtedly contributed to making my life better, more stimulating, and richer. So, I extend this gratitude to all those who, here in the fediverse or elsewhere, are present and positive, giving me inspiration and motivation.
Truly, thank you!

How a South African village turned an alien tree into #superfood coffee
A #caffeine-free ‘ #coffee ’ in #SouthAfrica turns a problem plant into a healthy drink – and income for a remote #community.

The recent news about #xz has further demonstrated how vigilant eyes are present within open-source software communities. That's why, in the upcoming years, I'll strive even harder to detach myself from closed solutions.
It's also time to reinstall #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7 - even if it's not my daily driver, I'm using it.
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!

Today marks 7 months since I made the BSD Cafe public. These days, I'm quite busy and don't have much time to dedicate, but when I want to relax in the evening, I open one of the interaction tools and see wonderful people, great conversations, and interesting topics. I just want to say thank you to you, friends who are part of the BSD Cafe, and to all of you, friends of the BSD Cafe.
@fosdem 2024 was once again a great opportunity to learn about #PostgreSQL and interact with the #Postgres #community. I also had the great pleasure to meet many fellow enthusiasts at the PostgreSQL Europe booth, where I was joined by friend and comrade-in-arms @tchorix and we took the opportunity to do an impromptu book signing for "PostgreSQL 16 Administration Cookbook" which we co-authored 👉 https://packt.link/BmLOz

We just reached the 14 million milestone of Fediverse users.
Not a single ad displayed.
Not a single algorithm suggestion.
Nobody pushing hate speech.
Happy milestone, #Fediverse !
Addendum: By "nobody is pushing hate speech," I mean that no company, owner of the Social Network, can deliberately and aggressively force posts with hate speech onto users solely for the purpose of selling more ads. This does not imply that there is no hate speech - unfortunately, this is a problem that also spreads in the Fediverse, and the tools are not always adequate.

We would like to open 2024 with the question, should we continue the @hpr project ?
@perloid and I want to check to see if there is still interest in the concept of a "Podcast produced by the Community, For the Community"?
If there is we will continue doing what we do, however we would like the help of one (ideally two) additional janitors.
