@grunfink I submitted a PR to update MacPorts' snac to 2.52 here:

GitHub Actions CI are queued, but hopefully they will complete OK?

Regardless, I don't have commit access so it will be up to someone else to merge it.

Thank you for your continued improvements and to others submitting bug fixes too!

For today's , I want to express my gratitude to someone I will refer to only by his first name, Gabriele. Many years ago, I was stuck in a job where I was exploited by my employer—the only one I had ever had. Gabriele, who attended one of my Linux courses about 20 years ago, saw my potential and offered me life-changing advice: 'You have a passion for what you do. Don't waste your time on someone who uses it only for their own profit. Start your own business, I'll help by introducing you to some of my clients, and we can offer the Open Source solutions that excite you so much. You're young enough to try.' I took the leap. It wasn't easy, but ultimately, I succeeded in doing the work I love and choosing the technical solutions I prefer. I'm not a great salesman and often charge too little, feeling almost guilty for asking people to pay for something I enjoy so much. But tonight, I want to say thank you to Gabriele. He might not read this, but my gratitude remains.

Since the beginning of the BSD Cafe's Mastodon journey, I've not been approving links or trending posts, mainly out of laziness. I did use some hashtags though.

Recently, I noticed that those sections of the site were sadly empty, so I've started to approve some content a few days ago. I check it about once a day, but trending content doesn't come up very often, so I'll continue this way for now.

I've submitted a PR to update MacPorts' Got to the -portable 0.99 here:

github.com/macports/macports-p

Good news: It is passing the GitHub Actions CI!

Annoying news: if you, like me, are using LibreSSL, then you should remove the following line from the Portfile:

port:libretls

I'm pretty sure there is a smarter way to do this, but I was floundering quite a bit with failed attempts for got-portable0.98.2 and you can read those in the comment I added to the Portfile which has the Trac ticket in which I was attempting to sort that stuff out.

For the time being, I figured I would rather submit a PR which is more likely to get merged since it is happy with MacPorts' other CI checks, than continue to rack my brains for a "perfect" solution.

**BSD Mail Project Update!**

Hello everyone! I wanted to share some exciting updates about the development of BSD Mail, our privacy-focused email service designed with robustness, security, and transparency in mind. Here’s a deep dive into the technical choices I've made, focusing on my use of open source solutions and open protocols:

🌍 **Servers & Location**

- We're running on two physical servers:
- One hosted by OVH in France
- Another by Hetzner in Germany
- Both servers operate on FreeBSD with NVMe drives in a ZFS mirror configuration for speed and data integrity.

🔒 **Virtualization & Security**

- We utilize jails on both servers to ensure isolated environments for different services, managed via BastilleBSD. On one server, jails are set up directly on the hardware, whereas the other server employs nested jails.
- Each server hosts a bhyve VM running OpenBSD with OpenSMTPD for handling SMTP duties securely.

🔗 **Networking**

- A Wireguard setup connects the two servers, facilitating routing capabilities so that jails and VMs can communicate seamlessly, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.

📧 **Email Services**

- **Dovecot** is configured for maildir replication across the servers using Dovecot sync, ensuring email availability and redundancy.
- **Rspamd** instances are tied to local KeyDB jails, set up in master-master replication for consistent and reliable spam detection and greylisting.
- **ClamAV** runs in corresponding jails for virus scanning, maintaining a high level of security.
- **SOGo** provides a web interface for email management, connected to MySQL databases in master-master replication to handle sessions and authentication smoothly.

💾 **Data Management**

- Email data is stored on separate, encrypted ZFS datasets to secure emails at rest.
- MySQL databases are used for storing credentials and managing sessions for SOGo, also in a master-master replication setup. Importantly, all passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt, ensuring they are salted and safe.

🔎 **Monitoring & Reliability**

- Our DNS is managed through BunnyNet, which continuously monitors our server status. Should one server—or a specific service—become unavailable, DNS configurations are dynamically adjusted to avoid directing users to the affected IP until full service is restored.

🌐 **Commitment to Open Source and Open Protocols**

- Every component of BSD Mail is built exclusively using open source software and open protocols. This commitment is crucial for ensuring data freedom and the reliability of the solutions we use.

This setup not only emphasizes our commitment to privacy and security but also our dedication to maintaining an open and transparent platform.
We're excited to bring you a service where your privacy, data integrity, and freedom are prioritized. Stay tuned for more updates!

Bad and freeloader behaviour
AnthropicAI. reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1c Please boost to shame them.

From the r/linux by user named MintAlone

Title: Claude AI - name and shame

I'm a mint user, regular contributor to the LM forum. Our forum went down today. Message from one of the mods when it was restored:

Claude AI is a new AI chatbot by the company Anthropic. They're scraping websites to train their chatbot for free. They're doing it in a way that causes so much extra load on websites, it's effectively a DDos attack. Sometime yesterday their "ClaudeBot" started scraping the forums and this caused very poor performance of the forums for several hours and ultimately led to an outage.

ClaudeBot is now blocked at the firewall and forums performance should be back to normal.

Went looking for Anthropic, found no way of contacting them to complain (you end up going in circles). So posted here, not that I expect it will make any difference to their behaviour.

Update:

To put it into perspective: over the same time period ClaudeBot caused 20 times as much traffic as the 2nd worst bot and 40 times as much as the 3rd worst bot. The traffic from all other bots combined was a blip in comparison. We've blocked several other bots in the past for doing the same as ClaudeBot but as you can see most bots aren't an issue.

Overview:
Day: Thursdays (weekly)
Time: 7 PM - 8 PM (GMT +2)

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!

"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

#1996

This is a photo of a 6-CD set case for "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource". The CD case cover has a whimsical cartoon character on the front, which appears to be an anthropomorphic penguin dressed as a wizard, complete with a wizard's hat and a magic wand. The character is standing on a stylized representation of the globe. The background is blue and there is a yellow banner on the top right corner that says "QuickStart Guide inside". The packaging suggests that this is a software resource kit for Linux developers from the era when software was commonly distributed on CDs.This is a photo of the back cover of the "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource CD-ROM" case. The cover lists the contents of the 6-CD set, including distributions like Red Hat 3.0.3 "Picasso", Slackware 3.1, Debian GNU/Linux 1.1.4, and others, with various kernel sources up to version 2.0.12+. It mentions the inclusion of a "QuickStart" installation guide and additional software like X-Free86 Version 3.1.2, with references to online resources. There's also information about the included on-line documentation like "Installation & Getting Started Guide" by Matt Welsh and "Network Administrators Guide", as well as file format details. Contact information for InfoMagic, including telephone, fax, email, and web address, is listed, along with the company's address in Flagstaff, AZ. A barcode is present on the bottom right. The text indicates the product is from 1996, providing a glimpse into the distribution of Linux software in the mid-1990s.
