One of the beautiful birds that most guides categorize as "mostly nondescript": the lovely, thoughtful little flycatcher known as the Western wood-peewee.

Photo of a woodland scene--a soft focus of blue sky in differently-sized windows, each framed by a dozen arabesques of cursive pine boughs and branches and the whole vignetted by pine needle brooms. In the foreground of the scene, one thick, partially stripped branch reaches down from the top left of the picture, ending in curling, scruffily-barked branchlets that fall, mustardy-olive and russet brown, like the strange, lovely ropes of Medusa's hair. Sitting on one such ropelike branch, body facing left but looking back over eir shoulder, is a very small, grey, soft-looking bird with slightly darker wings and pale coverts. The bird--a Western wood-peewee--looks like a little felt toy; eir face is just a little fuzzy charcoal gumdrop with a lick of feather at the base of the neck and eir tiny black seed of a bill like the needle of a record player. The light is promised everywhere in the picture, but it is most noticeable where it drops down the length of the stripped branch, warming the little wood peewee's perch and casting em in a slightly winsome spotlight.

@handmade_ghost Oh! I've recently fallen in love with the Eastern Wood-Peewee. I was so delighted to learn that this sweet little bird is named after its song.

This photo is over 12 years old. In the evenings of June, I used to relax in the garden to enjoy the sunset. He would come and keep me company. He from the wall, me from the deckchair, we silently enjoyed the peaceful countryside sunset together. Once the sun disappeared, he would come to say goodbye and leave. It was an almost daily ritual that went on for years.

A ginger cat sits quietly on a brick wall, silhouetted against a soft, dusky sky. The peaceful countryside stretches out behind, with tall trees and a hint of a garden, bathed in the gentle hues of twilight. The scene exudes a sense of calm and companionship, capturing a timeless moment of serene beauty and silent connection.

Blocking Access From or to Specific Countries Using FreeBSD and pf

Learn how to block access from specific countries on your FreeBSD server using pf and ipdbtools to enhance security and manage traffic efficiently.

@stefano as always, very nice!!!

Thinking of it (using my phone, so this is just a thought), this could also be useful for only allowing access from a specified country by adding a negation. For example "block drop quick from ! <Allowed_countries>"

Hello Fediverse! It's time for a new instance #introduction, having recently migrated to BSD.Cafe :freebsd_logo: from hachyderm.io.

The neurosurgeons said I wouldn't wake up from the coma, but they were wrong.
Then they said I'd never walk or talk again, but they were wrong.

I never expected to reach forty, and so often now I wonder, "how long will the 🧠 tumor let me live?"

Professionally, I'm a Principal Systems Architect focused on performance engineering for "global edge compute" workloads. This year marks two ticks from having worked for a quarter-century in the tech industry. 💾 :sparc64: 🥰

Personally, my interests range from backcountry telemark skiing and long-range marksmanship in the wilderness, to berries and bunnies and everything in-between as long as it's cute and pink and sweet and made of hearts! 💗

For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to thank @gyptazy
His BSD Pub is a weekly event of great interest to me, managed with precision and a will to create a true and solid community, in the pure spirit of the BSD Cafe idea.
Additionally, yesterday he helped me with some insights regarding the latest article on my blog, preventing potential questions that might have arisen.

So, thank you for everything!

Proxmox vs FreeBSD: Which Virtualization Host Performs Better?

Since migrating many servers from Proxmox to FreeBSD, we have consistently felt that the VMs are more responsive. It's time to conduct some concrete tests.

This is excelent, thanks for sharing it. One other test that might be interesting would be to overprovision a bunch of VMs and see how it handles scheduling when resources are scarce. Of course it's easy for me to think tasks up when it's not my time.

The world is full of amazing people, immersed in their lives and passions. You often won't notice them because they aren't interested in being noticed. But when you interact with them, you'll be enriched on a human level. You won't notice them amid the frantic noise of those who only want to be seen; they remain in composed silence, engaging only when there is something beautiful and constructive to offer.

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe One of the best places you can see this in action is right here on the fediverse. You'll have a lot of humble people who will absolutely blow you away in terms of knowledge but they don't freely share it unless you ask them about things. I've met a lot of diverse people like that on the fediverse, people with wikipedia pages dedicated to them. It helps remove that fear of "oh they're too busy to talk to me" I genuinely like that a lot about this place, everyone feels approachable unlike what you'd see elsewhere.

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, for those who may not have heard, we recently lost Mike Karels, a truly significant figure in the history of our favorite operating systems. Among our BSD Cafe community, we have his niece - @kristin_charlotte

Let's show her family our warmth and gratitude for the role he played.

@stefano

Thank you for the tutorial, very appreciated! 🤝

I have a small VPS with limited storage running FreeBSD on UFS, I am concerned that making snapshots will fill out the space very quickly, because snapshots are 1:1 and do not provide any compression, is that true?

One of the most fundamental yet little-known features of FreeBSD is its ability to be used in read-only mode very easily. By installing the system on a UFS file system, you just need to modify the fstab file, change "rw" to "ro," and reboot. On the next boot, the system will automatically create mount points in RAM for the main directories (/tmp, log, etc.), and it will run perfectly.

This was the main reason why, many years ago, I chose FreeBSD for almost all my embedded systems. Even today, on my Raspberry Pies, I keep the SD cards in read-only mode and use external storage in read-write mode. This ensures that, in case of an unexpected poweroff, the system will come back up, and there will be no wear on the memory card.

@stefano Raspberry Pi OS does this too: select 'Overlay Filesystem' in raspi-config, and you're read-only from next boot.

It's handy
