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.

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.

Free VPS?! #BoxyBSD did it for you - the opensource community and BSD fans!

Recently, we also started to provide #ARM64 based VPS, just next to the typical #AMD64 ones. Unfortunately, we reached today our limit for the ARM64 ones and can only provision amd64 ones.

I’m already looking to solve this quickly. Also to mention, we still have a very limited #RISCV64 alpha. But this one is really limited because there’s still no H flagged board available, which means #RV64 users run on a dedicated Vision Five 2 board.

Hope this update finds you well! Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Friends of #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse, until now, I have taken an approach to moderation where I engage in dialogue with users to find suitable solutions. However, for some colleagues, this approach has not seemed sufficient, so I will be adopting a different strategy. From now on, as soon as an issue is reported to me, I will take immediate action and then discuss it with the user. Fortunately, these situations are very rare, but they do occur, and I want to ensure that no one feels attacked or harassed. For this reason, I am adding a new rule:

Promote Positivity:
BSD Cafe is a supportive environment. Pro, not against.Any kind of attacks are strictly prohibited.This is a place for relaxation and serenity. Violations may lead to immediate account suspension. Negative behavior risks our server being isolated by others, affecting all users

#Mastodon #Moderation

BSD Cafe friends connecting to the Mastodon instance from the American continent – as a test of the new routed setup, I’ve installed a reverse proxy in the Western United States, both in IPv4 and IPv6.
It routes traffic via Wireguard to the original server, so there’s no particular local caching, at least for now.
The original DNS TTL was set to 12 hours (while it'll be 5 minutes for this new ipv4 and ipv6, as it's a test), so some of you might still connect to the Finnish IP for a little while longer.
The DNS will return the American IP when the connection is closer to it, and I’d be curious to know if you notice any performance differences or if everything remains the same as before.

Thanks for the feedback!
