Happy to provide you all slowly your #BSD based free Boxes (VPS instances) after a pause of one week again :)

The small amount of boxes has been provisioned, offering #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #DragonFlyBSD, #MidnightBSD and many more - including #illumos for our #Solaris friends!

Provisioning is #Matrix only and is done by our new Bot. @gyptazy took the time to write and adjust all the things in a great way - #RUNBSD

I really enjoy this service where I can test and validate things! Ty

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
some of you have expressed the desire to offer a bit of support to BSD Cafe.
In response, I've set up a Ko-fi page and a LiberaPay account for the project.
You can now buy a coffee for BSD Cafe at this link: ko-fi.com/bsdcafe or liberapay.com/bsdcafe

Come to think of it: this morning I posted a photo of one of my favourite Windows, and now it seems like I have a virus. Coincidences? I don't think so!

@stefano So... Windows Defender didn't do its job well, it seems.

Dear friends, if you see that I have 0 following and 0 followers, there is nothing wrong; it's simply that my instance uses #snac, which by default does not display these data.

We had a wonderfully enchanting evening at Knowsley Safari Park’s Enchanted.

The past few days have been very turbulent for this project and also for @gyptazy!

In addition to reaching the milestone of over 500 VPS instances, we have been mentioned on numerous platforms - unfortunately, some of them fundamentally contradict the philosophy of the project.

Within just one day, over 800 requests were sent to our support email (which is not the appropriate channel in the first place). Since we now handle inquiries exclusively through the Matrix bot, the situation has calmed down somewhat. However, it seems the barrier to entry is still not high enough. As a result, a challenge-response system (initially static) has now been integrated via GitHub. People coming from a bsd.cafe Matrix account are whitelisted and can immediately request a box without the GitHub verification part.

Details can be found here: boxybsd.com/matrix-bot/.

Unfortunately, this is not an ideal solution, but some balance must be struck between accommodating genuine users and creating a barrier for those who want to run coin miners, bots, spam, and similar activities. There were also some other ideas like post-card/letter verification but I think this is even more challenging and will be the next step if this doesn’t work out.

@BoxyBSD it’s a very challenging part for me right now and I hope this works out now. I’m aware that this makes it even more difficult for legit users but in the end everyone benefits from this changes: more resources available means more boxes for more people, less abuse means less impacts caused by other ones in the infrastructure etc…

It would be cool if someone hosts yet another Telegram-Matrix bridge with one of these servers. Or a Discord-Matrix bridge. There are public bridges but many of them are pretty much overloaded.

As an additional note, hashbang.sh used a nice trick to make a barrier between real users and fake ones for their shell server.

In Vienna's golden embrace,
Nine years past, a timeless trace.
Horses tread on modern stone,
Amidst change, not alone.
Echoes of yesteryears found,
Yet forward, with the world, we're bound.

Captured 9 years ago in Vienna: A horse-drawn carriage traversing a modern road at sunset. A reminder that even as the world changes around us, we continue to journey forward, blending the past with the present.
