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.

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, for those who may not have heard, we recently lost Mike Karels - @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.

Today, I revamped my blog theme ( https://it-notes.dragas.net ) and moved it to @OpenBSDAms VPS, powered by httpd.
BunnyNet stands as the CDN upfront, can we still consider it hosted on OpenBSD? 🤔

Ever had one of those days when you do everything except what you're supposed to, and the more you remind yourself of what you should be doing, the more you end up doing everything else?
Well, today is definitely one of those days for me! 😅

Wayland 1.23 Released With OpenBSD Support

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.

I've been meaning to do this for a while, and tonight I finally supported @mwl for his new book: Run Your Own Mail Server: A Book for Independence & Privacy

Every book I've read by mwl has gifted me with smiles, laughter, knowledge, awareness, and a desire to experiment.
Can't wait to dive into this new work!

Every morning, an instance administrator wakes up knowing they need to keep the infrastructure running smoothly for their users, ensuring a good and free social experience.
Every morning, a Fediverse user wakes up knowing they will find many people eager to socialize and interact, who strive to keep the Internet a place for the free exchange of ideas and opinions, away from the dynamics of closed protocols and Big Tech monetization.

It doesn't matter if you are a server administrator or a Fediverse user, thank you for being here and for contributing every day with your efforts to keep the Internet a free place.

Here’s one of the many reasons why I stick to simple, replicable, and quickly restorable setups. When you don't have control over your data or rely solely on a specific service, everything could go wrong in an instant.

@linus Sure, the poster business is a mess with the regulations of each country, so on one hand, I also understand Cloudflare's position. However, I still believe it's crucial to always have control over your data and, in case of provider issues, be ready to restore services elsewhere.

Non ce la possiamo fare.
Non è possibile. 😑

"Se hai richiesto la CIE o ne sei già in possesso, attiva subito le credenziali CIE (livello 1 e 2): "

uh...ok...

"Attiva credenziali CIE
(livello 1 e 2)"

ok...

"Hai già registrato la tua Carta di Identità Elettronica (CIE) sulla App CieID?"

uh...no? Si può?
Vabbè c'è la scelta alternativa...però adesso m'ha messo curiosità, scarico l'app.

L'app:
"Attiva credenziali CIE

@juc No, impossibile. Sinceramente, la burocrazia italiana fa vomitare, e non dico altro. E ogni volta che sento la parola "semplificazione", tremo: aggiungeranno pezzi per "semplificare" qualcosa.

@juc Spesso hanno una visione estremamente limitata. Appena ci sono i soldi, il primo pensiero è fare un commissario e un comitato per gestirli (che ne succhieranno buona parte). Sono tutti ammanicati con la politica e poco tecnici. Poi scelgono le soluzioni più comode e meno di responsabilità per loro - poco importa se chiuse o costose, in barba a tutte le indicazioni AGID. Ma sembra che in Europa le cose siano così un po' dappertutto, dunque...

Last night I was feeling down, but I knew it would be temporary.
This morning I woke up remembering how, many years ago, I was bullied, penalized, and mocked because I didn't want to use the "mainstream" systems (Windows - I'll write more about this some future posts).
"Because everyone does it" has never worked for me and will continue not to. I always believe that every problem needs its own solution; there is no "one size fits all" magic. I never exclude anything, and I avoid fanaticism, but I will continue on my path, as I always have.

One of my characteristics, since I was a child, has always been this. I listen to everyone, respect everyone, but I make my own decisions and take the responsibility.

Like the great Mama Cass said, "Make your own kind of music" is my motto.

For this , I want to thank everyone who still wants to own their data. Those who aren't swayed by seemingly valid and effective technical solutions designed solely to entrap. To those who don't believe in the flashy pages created by web giants that promise better results than others and sometimes sabotage competitors to create this illusion. Or embrace and extinguish the competition.

When all our data and activities are chained to the servers and infrastructures of a few entities, what will we truly own?
