Finally implemented FEP-0806: Simple client-side encryption in Mitra Mini. Right now it only does encryption-decryption. No delivery yet - because gateways don't support `EncryptedActivity` activities. The scheme was changed to HPKE (RFC 9180 Hybrid Public Key Encryption). #fep_0806

It’s not Tuesday yet, but it will be soon. And I want to thank @grunfink for creating and maintaining snac. Tomorrow I’ll talk about FediMeteo at DevConf, and it would never have come to be if it weren’t for snac and for the help the author gave me in fixing some things to optimize its use […]

I think some botherder fed their clanker the username/password thing the wrong way around again: Jul 6 11:36:46 portal sshd-session[50983]: Failed password for invalid user 123Qzasx from 45.43.60.220 port 42096 ssh2

Sometimes it's actually funny. I set aside an hour to do a job, and the client drip-feeds me the materials. I stop. I wait. 6 hours pass. They send me a single piece of data. Ten minutes later: "Are you done yet?". For some of them, I'm just a creature that lives in front of the monitor 24/7 […]

It's not so much the 2.5 Gbps of the new FTTH that makes a difference for me (honestly, except for rare cases, I don't even notice it), but the upload speed: going from 20 Mbps to 1 Gbps makes a huge difference. #ftth

Domani e dopodomani si terrà il DevConf Italia! Purtroppo non riuscirò a partecipare di persona ma presenterò in streaming: "FediMeteo, i BSD e il Fediverso: sotto il sole, senza nuvole, liberi e connessi" Se potete, partecipate perché tutti gli […] [Original post on mastodon.bsd.cafe]

I promised it, so here it is. This is a recording of littleFedi running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W on NetBSD. Everything is on the SD card, the database is SQLite, and caching is enabled. Personally, I won't comment on responsiveness or anything else; I'll just say that when I use it (both via […]

The first thing I managed to do this morning was spill a glass of water on the table. The last thing I did tonight was spill hot herbal tea on my feet. That’s how today is going. 😄

@stefano Somehow people seem to just expect software to be crap. My dayjob is (mostly) not dev related, and I reported a very simple bug to the dept in charge of a system, they didn’t even bother passing it along to the company we buy it from, just replied that this is to be expected.

I managed an e-commerce server for about ten years. It grew from a small local shop into a major national business, even handling international orders. They expanded to the point where they reduced their local brick-and-mortar store hours because the bulk of their revenue was coming from online […]

@stefano 🎶 FTTH Man, please listen You know what I'm missin' FTTH Man, the gigabits are at your command

For the first time in my life, my home internet is faster than the connection on my datacenter servers. For once, the bottleneck isn't here, it's there. Meaning, I can self-host stuff right here at the same speed as over there. And I already have a couple of ideas on WHAT to host, on top of […]

At last!!! #ftth

Very low quality job. Really, very low quality. I just hope it will work properly, because all I see is hanging cables, etc. left. I'll fix them. But...

I used to work at the zoo and one time a gorilla died of old age. The problem was it was the only gorilla in the zoo because the zoo wasn't very profitable. The gorilla was by far the most popular attraction and they couldn't afford to go a single day without it being there. So the zoo owner […]

Great news! My presentation for #eurobsdcon has been accepted! Expect a mix of disasters, horror stories, recoveries, BSDs, and one very, very long day. Stay tuned! #eurobsdcon2026 #bsd #runbsd #freebsd #netbsd #openbsd #linux

Monday Monday... Last night there was a blackout for over an hour. The local substation overloaded because everyone in the area had their AC running on full blast. And this week they say they're coming to finish the FTTH installation. My wife bets that the appointment will fall through this […]

I've just deleted the SilentSunday photo. I didn't want to do it. It's time for dinner...

Today, I couldn’t resist #food #tiramisu

The arcade from my childhood had turned almost entirely into a slot machine parlour. Now, they've gotten rid of the slots and started bringing back some 80s and 90s coin-ops. Brilliant. If they were to bring back Daytona USA, I'd already know exactly what to do. One phone call and just a […]

This photo is particularly dear to me. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend BSDCan, but EuroBSDCon is just around the corner and I'm really looking forward to it! #eurobsdcon #bsdcan #bsdcon #bsd #conferences

Today I resisted and didn’t have the tiramisu, even though it’s delicious here. I feel like a hero.
