On this #SilentSunday, let the hush take us back in time, to reflect on the echoes of an era that must never be forgotten.
Within the folds of silence, we find space to honor those days of struggle and liberation, with a promise to keep the memory alive.
This photo is from today, but it depicts a day 79 years ago.

Lest we forget, to build a tomorrow of peace.

...and at night, when everything seems so dark that you start to feel crazy and hopeless, just remember: a new morning will come and a new sun will shine for you.

@stefano it is always darkest just before daylight. We must remember that 😊

@stefano beautiful picture!

Reminds me of this house though. Which I don't like the history of...😬🤦‍♂️ This is on the other side of the world though, so that place is safe.😅

This house is Oak Alley Plantation in Louisiana, US. All plantations in the south are rooted in slavery. Today it serves as a tourist attraction.

@stefano honestly, I don't think that article is a lot about docker but more about a lack of good practice that is possible since someone started to throw docker over the fence.

The author provides solutions for each of the mentioned problems which sound like the breakdown between Dev and Ops is still waiting to take place. It looks like most of it could be solved by a wholesome "okay guys, let me help you out here and put my knowledge into your software projects".

@stefano The solution to all the problems we have known was one: 42. And we all know how that turned out” is a line from Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
. In the book, the supercomputer Deep Thought calculates that 42 is the answer to the “Great Question” of “Life, the Universe, and Everything
”. The supercomputer calculates the answer over 7.5 million years, but no one remembers what the question is. The book uses this paradoxical scenario for humorous effect.

Me and my first phone Over 40 years ago.

This photo has been on my grandma's living room cabinet for as long as I can remember. She passed away a couple of years ago, and to keep her memory alive, my wife suggested we keep it in our living room.

A blast from the past looking towards the future.

No, the phone doesn't run Android or iOS 😆

"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 #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

To reaffirm my #ThankYouTuesday today - following my post earlier about FreeBSD freezing if a laptop doesn't have the battery installed (mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/112), @jeffpc has prepared a patch and suggested I try it (reviews.freebsd.org/P636).
I did, and it worked.
This is the spirit that characterizes the open-source community and the fantastic members who comprise it.

For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to express my gratitude to the entire open-source community. Past, present, and future. I owe so much to what many developers, sysadmins, enthusiasts have built and maintained. I've always believed that culture should be free and accessible to all, and the OSS community has made it possible to study, learn, and implement complex and professional solutions without the need for closed systems, licenses, or expensive "certification" courses.

To the Open Source community, heartfelt thanks!

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.

Am I also worthy of being part of Caturday?

@stefano

in ancient portal
between the forest and the sea
stands the common boat builder
that holds the door firmly
Of heavenly guidance and the rhythm of the sea

there are few who know
they are the sailors

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!
