Barista - or Painter? Using this, I was expecting to finish the entire room in one hour. I just painted one wall in two hours. 😆 #diy #notonlybaristatoday

I’ve taken many shots like this, every year, with the same subject and in the same place. Yet I’m still fascinated by this perspective. This one is from just a few hours ago: the sunset and the "fragile" flower. A breath of wind will be enough, and the […] [Original post on mastodon.bsd.cafe]

Cabling done - everything's now working properly! #networking

it's Monday, heading towards the dark winter in the Northern hemisphere, but you can look forward to BSD conferences in the new year. See "What is BSD? Come to a conference to find out!" It's where the Internet comes from! -- […]

Time to play with the new "toys"! #it #mikrotik #wifi #networking

RE: https://mastodon.social/@neilsardesai/115522492281280106 This is beautiful!

Totally normal day, taking the #sun ultra 10 #unix workstation I just found at the #thriftstore to the hardware store. (Different kind of hardware) #retrocomputing #solaris

Good news: my three #mikrotik cap ax arrived two days earlier than expected, so I'm going to the supplier's warehouse later today. New toys to play with 😆

…and at night, when everything seems so dark you are starting to get crazy and hopeless, just remember: a new morning will come and a new sun will shine for you. Have a great week, #BSDCafe Have a great week, #illumosCafe Have a great week, #Fediverse […] [Original post on mastodon.bsd.cafe]

The week opens with some bad news, which might mess up many of my plans for the next 30 days. Sometimes things don't go as planned, and you have to reorganize everything. C'est la vie. Have a good week, everyone!

Many articles I read from before 2024 contain correct but dated information. Many articles I read from after 2024 contain incorrect information, obvious LLM hallucinations. The internet is becoming an increasingly difficult 'place' to manage.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pitrh/115509098143295810 The BSD conferences are magical. The atmosphere is friendly. It's a family - a good one - with different views but a common goal: making great things, making smart choices in a positive environment. #runbsd #freebsd #netbsd #openbsd […]

RE: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/115521087375512306 Well said, @stefan Something like #fedimeteo would be impossible on traditional, commercial, centralized social media platforms.

Conferences are fun and useful. Find one that suits you and get to hang out with fellow BSD Geeks!

Autumn isn't ideal, but in the coming weeks, I'll have to paint the walls of almost my entire house. Manual work relaxes me, and painting usually gives me great satisfaction. Years ago, in an old house, I painted the walls in colors, and it completely changed the look. I'm not ruling out adding […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gammitin/115510908112584601 I still have one of those. And yes, those machines were perfect on a young person's desk. Sometimes the current minimalism can be...boring

RE: https://mementomori.social/@rolle/115510168521583995 Mastodon Bird UI is a wonderful, elegant theme for Mastodon and it's the default theme at BSD Cafe for many locales. We're now using yesterday's nightly code but I'll upgrade to the 3.0.0 over the weekend #bsdcafe

Friday night reflection: Looking back on this year, I've had some fantastic moments and experiences. And I already have big plans for 2026. I'll need to get back to a few unfinished things, but I certainly have the drive. And now... relax. #weekendmood

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/115510254014124189 I try to be nice and I'm not an AI. Or, at least, I don't think so. 😂

Want to try #smolbsd in no time without building, fetching, or even reading the doc? $ curl -fsSL -o- https://smolbsd.org/sh|sh No root needed, only qemu. It should work on Linux amd64, arm64, and macOS. This will fire up a NetBSD rescue image with minimal tools!

RE: https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/@stefano/115507989834107637 It's been easier than expected. Just the "usual" patches - I'll write a blog post about it.

Note to self: Next time you intend to disable one Wi-Fi interface, perhaps don't disable all network interfaces, including the wired ones. As it turns out, devices with no active interfaces are slightly difficult to connect to. Who knew? Now, off to find that physical reset to factory settings […]

I just heard that a former classmate of mine passed away. He had a difficult life, he had lost his entire family and, unfortunately, had serious drug and alcohol problems since he was very young. At one point, the situation seemed to have improved, he was working passionately in his business but […]

I felt like having pizza and tiramisu. I had a salad instead. My conscience is clear. My stomach, not so much 😆 "Craving pizza, sweet salad calms my guilty mind my tongue still protests."

RE: https://nileane.fr/@TangerineUI/115503032103225076 Tangerine UI is great, and it's been installed both on the BSD Cafe and the illumos Cafe instances #bsdcafe #illumoscafe #tangerineui

RE: https://vmst.io/@vmstan/115504176526905698 Not yet - we'll stay on v4.5.x wintil v4.6.0 won't be released 😉

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@announcements/115503275740908878 The BSD Cafe #mastodon instances have been upgraded to v.4.5.0 and...we now have the quote posts! Use them wisely. #bsdcafe

Branch bought Nova Launcher in 2022, laid off all the team, and in September, original author Kevin Barry too. https://teslacoilapps.com/nova/solong.html Branch promised to make it open source, but it hasn't. Petition them to release the code: https://c.org/WLKP28Lfz8

The Fediverse feels more vibrant when conversations are buzzing! Mastodon 4.5 fetches replies from other servers to show you more complete conversation threads - another much-anticipated feature.

Mastodon 4.5 brings Quote Post authoring features to everyone. Note that you can manage whether or how your posts are quoted by others, both globally on the new Posting Defaults page, and individually on specific posts. You can also revoke the use of a post. We wrote about this in more detail a […]

We’re excited to release Mastodon 4.5 into the world! Arriving just a few months after the last release, this version brings the long-awaited Quote Posts feature, along with many other goodies. Here’s a quick look (you should read our blog post for more!) […]

We’re happy to announce that Mastodon 4.5 is now ready for prime time! Quote posts, async fetching of replies, server timeline visibility settings, more moderation tools, and lots and lots of other tweaks and improvements. Announcement on our blog […]
