@stefano I've never run Varnish. It seems weird to me that it doesn't speak https.

What about speaking to another nginx/relayd reverse proxy that does speak https to the backend?

@stefano Wait what you've had summer over there ? We've had wind and rain mostly with a sprinkle of midges thrown in for good measure.

@stefano cute and cozy place. I always loved summer, hot weather, and the sun. It is my favorite. The mood in summer is 100% to live.
We had an idea went to vacation to Italy, but then we changed it and just traveled by EU.
Thanks for sharing this view.

OK folk answer me this. Why as a constant #Linux user since the early 90's do I keep leaning towards #BSD ? Yeah I'm going to use it on my homelab but i keep yearning for it to be my daily driver too. Is it an age thing and if so does this happen to most Linux users in later life ? I feel like Eve wanting to taste the forbidden fruit if that makes any sense at all ? 😂 :freebsd:

@justine I would love to run BSD but I game and not everything on Steam works as expected on Linux and I fell into the base + Flatpak in $home workflow over time.

A lot of people will say the infrastructure changes a lot, but the vast majority of innovations have resulted in improvements to my flow so I go with it. Being a well seasoned user whose been daily driving Linux since the days of KDE 2.x back when SUSE came in a box, I have to say the experience gets better all the time.

That being said, I do love me some BSD and its always good to know the Unix-like landscape still has a lot of options.

@justine
I think there's a certain charming simplicity to it, that is hard to find in modern linux.
At least in part because of the sprawling ecosystem.

@justine Perhaps it's just a "the grass always looks greener on the other side" situation. You've been using Linux for so long that you know all the brown, muddy spots. In comparison, the BSD grass is looking green and lush from a distance, and those first patches you munched on certainly were tasty. 😁

On behalf of the @FreeBSDFoundation and the Enterprise WG, we're pleased to announce the "Podman test project".

From September 2 to October 11, 2024, the FreeBSD Open Container Initiative Runtime Extension Working Group is hosting a time-boxed testing project for its experimental implementation of Podman. If you’re comfortable with experimental software and have experience with Docker or Podman, we want you on board. You only need a machine running FreeBSD 13.2 or later (possibly with the latest) with ZFS storage.

More information on:
github.com/oci-playground/free

We want this test to be successful. This is IMHO a significant step toward a wider acceptance of FreeBSD as a viable enterprise platform to a broader audience.

I'm glad to have contributed to this project. I need to thank Alice from the @FreeBSDFoundation and Doug (@dfr) for having worked on this so much.

Also, the base FreeBSD OCI images are kindly provided by your trusted @tara and @winterschon 🤗

Now that it appears my move to BSD.cafe is complete, I believe it’s time for a #introduction.

First, I want to say how great it is to be part of the BSD.cafe community. I’m thrilled that this instance exists and is thriving.

I’m Blake, a Systems Administrator with a knack for #networks and #DevOps. Currently, I work in the insurance sector, focusing on #technology solutions for agricultural businesses. I have extensive experience with #Linux, #AWS, #Azure, and a variety of network solutions, from Fortigate (#FortiOS) to Netgate (#pfSense). I consider myself a big-picture solver, dedicated to enhancing infrastructure efficiency and security.

I’ve been using Linux daily since the late 2000s, when our family’s Windows XP machine gave out and I got my hands on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Since then, I’ve experimented with everything from Arch Linux to Void Linux. Recently, I’ve started exploring #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD, and I’m truly enjoying the fresh experience they offer.

When I’m not immersed in technology, you’ll find me participating in ultra-endurance #cycling events or tinkering with my #homelab. I’m committed to continuous learning and love sharing insights on cutting-edge network and server technologies. I also enjoy exploring how technology intersects with everyday life.

One of these days, I plan to create a proper blog site to share my thoughts and experiences.

I look forward to connecting with fellow tech enthusiasts and homelabbers!

For this #ThankYouTuesday, I want to express my gratitude to SDF.org.

This long-standing community, thriving and healthy, is built on #NetBSD.

Many years ago (I’d have to dig through old emails, but it’s definitely over 20 years), I reached out to them for advice on setting up a public access server (which I ended up not doing). They were incredibly kind and provided me with a wealth of information.
They are also present in the Fediverse - @SDF - showing that they are always keeping up with the times and looking toward the future.

Long live SDF, and thank you for everything!

@stefano @SDF +1, SDF public UNIX access was one of the very first places I had a shell outside of systems I built for myself and ran out of my house. (I didn’t get BBS access way back in the day because of where/when I grew up, so that kind of community was a delightful new thing to me. Much love to SDF.)

Hi thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm Justine I'm a marine electronics engineer to trade which basically means I install / repair anything on a vessel from satellite internet and sat TV to autopilots, radars, VHFs and navigational equipment. Other than that I've been a #Linux user since around 2000 and even worked on the distro LRs Linux that basically compiled from scratch according to the users hardware and was LFS based. My current daily driver is #ChimeraLinux and my WM of choice is #RiverWm
I am currently migrating my #homelab from #Ubuntu to #FreeBSD.

@justine being interested about radiocomms since my teens (well… 30y ago!) I’ve been reading a lot about radio navigation and marine HF broadcasting.
Did you have the chance to fix/install HF Radiofacsimile devices? To me, these devices were just « KISS » principle applied. I get great pleasure from decoding these broadcasts at home, while I have no special interest in marine weather itself. I think the analogue FSK principle of the device appeals me, (much more than JPEG), and the free over-the-air HF broadcasting, far from any satellite usage fee, for the public interest of safety, seems so fundamental to me. I guess It matches basic principles of « open source » « free software », and that might explain my interest in both utility broadcasting and free software. Long life to HFFAX ! Long life to RTTY/SYNOP and others ! Some day, as it was the case with LW broadcasting, DWD will stop emitting, because of costs or « obsolescence ». This day will be a hard day for me. Until some satellites get targeted by some enemy and maybe shortwave will regain some unexpected love…

Tonight is the best night to catch the "shooting stars" show.
Too hot, too many mosquitoes, and maybe too many years behind me.
But I remember well, many years ago, when I would purposely drive to deserted roads in the mountains or hills, lying down and watching the sky while listening to this piece (Richard Clayderman - Jardin Secret).

So many years have passed, yet the sound of these notes still evokes those same feelings.
