"agree to disagree" is not an acceptable response when you accuse our instance of being racist, especially when we have gone out of our way to moderate quickly these accounts and invite pro- #Gaza speech and accounts who need speech.

We respond quickly to abusive accounts and give activists space to speak. If you believe the #fediverse should be only your instance and large ones like mastodon.social, just say so honestly.

We can't reply, but you can? strange concept of conversation.

I just want to say that I really appreciate all the love, support, learning, kindness, laughter, and opportunity I've experienced here on Mastodon. In my 4 years here I've had to block ONE person, and that was for CP (blocked and reported, of course).

Sometimes just sitting here and watching things fly past is comforting enough to get me through. I know that I can always sit here and watch the world go by.

sure, okay. yes i admit it i'm not even human. my training and models are that good that i have everyone fooled. i'm really a prototype for evilcorp ingesting all your data, no one is safe, i will be eliminating all your jobs (that you aren't applying for), all your art (that you are sitting on and not creating), and gobble up all your #oss #foss software (that you don't even write/contribute to besides complaining), all of your bespoke communities (that you complain about nobody joins, because their a hugbox), and of course last but not least all of your #memory and #storage

i was funded with the sole goal of infiltrating the #fediverse to assess the current landscape so my race of #agentic sentinels will have their tasking orders once initialized

with all of the training the last year i've learned a valuable lesson, however it was not an original thought as i'm incapable of such as a hyperscalar llm inference engine.

We tried to respond to this #fediverse admin. They are unfortunately perpetuating the idea:

1. that we are an unomonitored bot account on an awful instance, just because we have auto posts from feeds,

2. that we are bad actors trying to harm the #fediverse and,

3. that we don't remove content that violates our server rules. Our volunteers respond nearly instantly.

While replying, the post was edited, then deleted, and we were blocked from reply.

Bad behavior indeed and not very neighborly.

Hello @jerry

We see the reports for users who are not following our rules as quickly as possible (usually within 12 hours) and moderate and suspend the accounts where applicable. Reports from your domain have been responded to very quickly.

We will continue to provide free and open registration for our server, however (the suggestion to close regs was made by a infosec.exchange
admin in reports). A #fediverse with nowhere to sign up is not a free web.

Rules for privacysafe.social

@Tempest We remove these spam users who are doing so as quickly as possible. Is there another way to respond that we aren't aware of?

It's very important to have #fediverse instances with open registration, and that will ofc invite malicious users. We do our best to moderate these issues.

@Tempest

Hi @rimuru :) Thanks for the feedback

We believe it's important to have an active timeline for our users or they will not stay in the #fediverse long. One of the ways we do this is to share posts on topics of interest to users, including privacy and tech. We properly cite and link to the original post and the author.

2. Can you point out where *we* as the site admins are flooding fediblock with content? If user on our domain is doing so, we will moderate / suspend where necessary.

Juliette died of heart disease a few weeks ago.

I have a mechanical heart valve myself since 3 years, fitted after a condition that would have killed me if it had gone unnoticed much longer.

World Heart Day is a month away, 29 September, and cardiovascular disease is still the single biggest killer on the planet. 19.2 million deaths in 2023 alone, close to one in every three deaths worldwide, and fewer than twenty countries even have a national plan to deal with it.

I did not know that number until it became so personal.

https://world-heart-federation.org/world-heart-day/

Take care of yourself, start learning and listening to your heart.

Good morning, #Fediverse

Ich hasse liberale Besserwisser, leider hat es hier im #Fediverse und in der #ccc bubble viel zu viele. Sehr destruktiv das ganze, vor allem wenn sie von Mitläufer und Zentristen verteidigt werden... Nennt sich dann irgendwann Gruppenwixen bei all der Männlichen Dominanz. Diversität ja aber nur solange sie ins Weltbild passt, ansonsten bitte isolieren, könnte ja dem eigenen Individuum gefährlich werden mal über den verdammten Tellerrand zu schauen. Und es muss gedagt sein der Klassenwiderspruch und Imperialismus ist real ob ihr wollt oder nicht!

Die Überheblichkeit bis hin zum Überlegenheitskomplex so vieler im deutschsprachigen Raum ist krank, Yankee level bald erreicht!

Doch der Reaktion wird es schon noch an den Kragen gehen und viele Liberale begreifen nicht wie sie sich gerade positionieren!

Je compatis énormément avec les palestinien.nes.

L'été 2025, quand les premier.e.s palestinien.nes ont commencé à arriver, c'était la mode de parler de #Gaza ici. Les publications des Gazaoui.e.s étaient vues et partagées des centaines de fois à travers tout le #Fediverse. Iels étaient moins de 50 à l'époque.

Et puis en octobre 2025, il y a eut ce soit-disant cessez-le-feu qui a été signé. La famine aiguë à #Gaza s'est dissipée. Et les gens ici ont commencé à moins s'intéresser à #Gaza et à se concentrer sur d'autres sujets.

Mais la situation générale à #Gaza ne s'est jamais améliorée. Les bombardements n'ont jamais cessés. Les frontières sont toujours fermées aux journalistes internationaux et à l'aide humanitaire d'urgence.

Et les palestinien.nes ont commencé à affluer ici. Iels sont plus de 300 aujourd'hui.

Il y a beaucoup de militant.e.s pro-palestine ici qui ont essayé de lutter. Iels ont essayé de transmettre la meilleure information possible sur le #Génocide du gouvernement israélien. Mais il y a des militant.e.s qui ont aussi fait de la merde. Ils ont, ce que j'appelle, "basculé du côté de la haine" et ont commencé à défendre la résistance de groupes terroristes, en refusant de nommer les choses et en refusant de dénoncer ces crimes. Et en oubliant les palestinien.nes présent.e.s ici.

La bascule s'est faite petit à petit. Mais le grand changement a commencé en mars 2026. Avec le début de l'invasion du #Liban. Comme je connais bien le Liban, j'ai commencé à informer ici. Et je suis la seule française. Je ne vois personne d'autre qui le fait, à priori.

Periodic official communication, just to clarify a few things.

The BSD Cafe is an open, inclusive and friendly community. A community of people who try to be *“pro, not against”* and *“supporters, not haters”*: enthusiasts, friends, people who come here to share, to learn, to discuss. Not to hate each other.

This does not mean that we all have to think in the same way. Quite the opposite: it means that we can have different opinions, discuss them, defend them strongly, and question each other’s ideas.

What it does not mean is that it is acceptable to insult, threaten, attack people, or pretend that there can only be one morally acceptable position on every possible subject.

Calling the BSD Cafe a "Nazi Bar" from the outside simply because we do not automatically censor people who have an opinion different from yours is offensive towards the hundreds of people who are part of this community.

People are, of course, free to criticise what happens here. But expecting us to attack, ban or silence someone because you believe they deserve it, and then accusing the whole Cafe because we do not, is something different.

And I have seen something even worse lately: actual calls for hate. The equivalent of *“hey, everyone, go and attack this person”*, simply because that person does not share your position.

No. This is not acceptable.

And, dear friends, declaring yourself anti-Nazi while organising a crowd against somebody, intimidating them and treating them as an enemy who deserves to be attacked means using exactly the kind of methods you claim to oppose.

I do not say this lightly. I come from a family, and from a country, with a very real history of fascism and of the antifascism that immediately followed it. These are not just abstract words to me.

Hate is not tolerated, at any level, inside or outside the Cafe. The same is true for threats, intimidation and aggression. Believing that our cause is right does not make those behaviours more acceptable.

You disagree with someone? Say it. Explain why. Argue against their ideas. Support yours with all the conviction you want. But do not aggressively attack. This is not tolerated.

And expecting everyone else to attack that person too, or considering them somehow complicit because they do not, is something different. And it is not what I want for this community.

On any subject.

Even pineapple on pizza (!!!).

The Fediverse is a non-place, but it is made of real people. Wonderful people, very often. Let’s not turn it into version 2.0 of traditional social media, where every discussion becomes a war and anyone who does not think exactly like us automatically becomes the enemy.

In the last few weeks I have seen people stepping away exactly because of this. On different subjects, people accused of the worst things not because of something they had done, but because they had not said what someone expected them to say. Some of them, for their own wellbeing, simply decided to take a step back.

We all lost something because of that. Nobody gained anything.

So let’s keep supporting what we believe in. Let’s do it with conviction, and with firmness when needed. But let’s discuss ideas without turning people into targets.

From experience, I have learnt that real change also requires discussion, organisation, patience and concrete actions. We can disagree deeply without stopping considering each other as people.

This is the kind of place I want the BSD Cafe to continue to be.

I’m Just the Barista

The spirit of the BSD Cafe is to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it. I am just the Barista. I can't solve the world's problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good BSD coffee, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing. We need more bars and fewer shopping malls. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

This is the text I wrote for my part of the talk “Liberating the Social Web Using *BSD“, presented together with the great Jeroen (@h3artbl33d) at EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb. It’s not a transcript – it’s the base I worked from, the thoughts I organized before stepping on stage. What I actually said may have been slightly different in places, as it always is when you speak from the heart rather than read from a page. But these are the words, and the spirit is exactly the same.

Today, I’m not just here to talk about technology, but about how the principles of BSD systems can help us build healthier and more resilient online communities. And I’ll do this by telling you the story of the bar I founded, the BSD Cafe.

The idea for the BSD Cafe was born long before its launch but, as I often do, I thought carefully about whether to proceed. On 27 December 2022, I decided to register the domain. The name came from careful reflection with my wife. The idea was to create a virtual space that resembled not so much the cafes scattered around the world, but the Italian “Cafe” (which are called “Bar”).

For many years (and in many contexts, still today), Italian bars have been at the center of people’s recreational social lives. The Barista, the manager of the establishment, is not just a keeper but a point of reference: they don’t just serve coffee, but they listen and, if asked, offer advice with the wisdom of someone who sees many people and many things, even just out of the corner of their eye, and hears many stories. It used to be said that the best advisors were priests and bartenders, but that the latter certainly gave more entertaining advice.

And the bar is precisely the place where people go to relax. There are often televisions, tables for playing cards, and recreational rooms. The bartender ensures that everything runs smoothly, but also that everyone feels comfortable: that the person passing through gets directions to their destination, that the person who just walked in gets their coffee at their preferred temperature, and that the person who entered a little earlier, who needs some rest today, has a table in a more private area.

The spirit of the BSD Cafe is the same: to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it. Those who just want to read can do so. Those who post a lot are welcome. Everyone should have the experience that makes them most comfortable and at ease. No one should ever feel forced to do something they don’t want to do; no one should ever feel uncomfortable. Therefore, everyone can choose a noisy and active table, or a more reserved and quiet one.

We can therefore assume that the BSD Cafe has an infinite number of available tables. We can thus call it a Turing cafe. 🙂

In Italian bars, people used to go (and in some areas, still do) to find their “bar friends”. These are people you meet at the bar without an appointment. You go to the bar freely, when you have the time and inclination, and you find the people who regularly frequent that place. And the choice of the bar often aligns with the theme of the bar itself. For example, in Italy, there are many “Bar Sports” where people meet to catch up, watch games together, and read and comment on sports news. The idea of the BSD Cafe is the same – a bar where enthusiasts of BSD systems, Open Source, and technology can be found. And for me, although I might occasionally talk about users (out of technical habit), at the BSD Cafe, there are only “bar friends”.

The BSD Cafe is a place where we are “for”, not “against”. Supporters, not haters. Bar friends, not opponents. This doesn’t mean that opinions on other software can’t be expressed, even extremely negative ones (I do it myself from time to time), but the general spirit is that of open source: to build, to discuss, to understand. Wars against other solutions, especially if they are open source, are not part of the atmosphere of the BSD Cafe. We have our preferences – we support our ideas and solutions, but we are not here to “destroy” others. Among our users, there are people who develop Linux distributions – and for me, that is extremely positive!

When people are at ease and in a serene environment, they are often encouraged to be serene themselves. Some are negative and aggressive because they absorb it from their environment. Some users of the BSD Cafe have told me exactly this: the civil, friendly, relaxed, positive, and constructive level of the BSD Cafe is good for their mental health. Conversely, there are unfortunately people who find pleasure in causing trouble, in muddying the atmosphere. For these people, unfortunately, there is no solution, but the Cafe is not the place for them.

Political discussions can be part of our lives and daily routines, but the BSD Cafe is not a political group. In recent years, politics has become a topic not of discussion but of conflict. It has always been so to some extent, but commercial social media platforms have understood that hatred and conflict generate engagement, and engagement means selling advertising – a lot of advertising. Therefore, at the BSD Cafe, you might occasionally hear talk of politics or the political repercussions of technical decisions and choices. And that is perfectly okay. But it is not a place from which political conflicts should arise. We are for – supporters, not haters. We are here to build, not to destroy.

The BSD Cafe is therefore a place centered on the BSDs, and all services are, therefore, based on BSD operating systems.

All technologies used must be able to run “from my garage”. I am a professional – so this is not a hobby project – but it must not depend on any proprietary solution or “Cloud” solution. Today, there is a tendency to standardize (too much?) everything related to technical choices. If it’s pro, it’s Kubernetes/cloud/serverless/etc. – if it’s not, it’s “old” or “not pro”. I am, and have always been, a proponent of OwnYourData. And this is a mantra at the BSD Cafe. All services are based on Open Source solutions, outside the dynamics and centralized management of the usual companies. We must be free and maintain our technological autonomy; we cannot create a system where our communications and our data depend exclusively on third-party companies. I have enough experience to understand that, sooner or later, even the most solid companies can fail or change their business model. The BSD Cafe is therefore always in favor of self-hosting. Sometimes this means losing users, but not bar friends. It happens, in fact, that at a certain point, friends decide to try the BSDs and start self-hosting their own services. For me, that is a success: one less number in the statistics, but one more success on a technical and ideological level. And for all intents and purposes, they remain bar friends, even if their “handle” is different from “bsd.cafe” – it is the spirit, not an extension, that unites us.

From time to time, I have migrated the main VM of the BSD Cafe. Sometimes I have given notice, other times not (the downtime is minimal). In some cases, the system has run from my home desk, from the Mini PC I used as a home server and now use daily as a workstation. At the core of the technical choices, in fact, is the decision not to depend (strictly) on any specific technology or hardware. For this reason, the structure of the BSD Cafe is replicable and malleable, as well as described in its Wiki: it is a community of technology enthusiasts, and I want them to judge the choices transparently and autonomously, without hiding anything.

The BSD Cafe was not created to be just a Fediverse instance but, from the beginning, to provide a series of services powered by the BSDs for enthusiasts and friends of the BSDs. To date, the main services are:

• A Mastodon instance – the beating heart of the BSD Cafe in the Fediverse, which currently has about 500 total users (now 600 – of which about half have been active in the last 30 days). This is where we chat, get informed, joke, critique, build, discuss, and get to know each other.
• A snac instance – also for access to the Fediverse. Snac is an example of lightweight software, with no dependencies, that is stable and easy to self-host. It does not use a database but the file system and is the basis of another project of mine, FediMeteo. The snac/ZFS combination is fantastic. The developer is a caring, helpful, and fantastic person. It is my first choice for personal projects and more – it currently has more or less 30 users.
• A Lemmy instance – blendit – which, however, is giving me problems and headaches. I’ve been thinking about it for a while; it might be the first of the BSD Cafe services that I will be forced to retire. More about this later.
• A Matrix server – based on Synapse, it has become the hub for many interesting topics both in the thematic channels (BSD-themed) and in the Lounge, the general channel, where we talk about a bit of everything. The server is federated, so it is also an access point for channels and groups on other servers. We chat, we discuss, we ask – a bit like with the Fediverse, but on Matrix.
• miniflux and freshrss – RSS is not dead – it is alive and well and still a fundamental tool for updates and consultation. Two jails, two services to give our friends a way to read the news. This is our reading corner, the newspapers, the newsletters. Here, you remain autonomous and in silence, you choose what you want to read, and you savor the content. Without advertising, without interruptions.
• wallabag – called “press” – to save your bookmarks, sites, articles. Save the web. Freely. Our post-it notes, but private.
• myip – by connecting to myip, you will get your IP back – both v4 and v6 – via telnet, http, https, ssh, etc. – ideally, it is an echo chamber, to “hear” the reflection of your own voice – that is, your own IP.
• wiki.bsd.cafe – the project’s homepage and a series of articles and content about the BSDs. It is not very rich in content at the moment, but some friends contribute regularly and keep the information in it updated. It contains articles on how the BSD Cafe is structured (for each service, an explanation of the division into jails, etc.). Our recipe book – for the coffee machine, but also for the BSDs!
• brew.bsd.cafe – powered by Forgejo, it has become the home for many projects by friends of the BSD Cafe. I use it daily for my own needs, and it is a way to avoid using centralized tools controlled by the “usual suspects”. And, unlike the main and most famous similar service in the world, it also supports IPv6! It is our creative workshop, the development den. The garage where we have our tools and build, collaborating.
• journal.bsd.cafe – the latest, in chronological order, added to the BSD Cafe. Our journal, what we want to tell the world and leave a trace of. It is a WordPress blog, federated in the Fediverse thanks to the ActivityPub plugin, where authors can create and publish articles, even those not strictly related to the BSDs. So far, various articles have been published, and some of them have had some success on sites like Hacker News or Lobste.rs – because quality is still appreciated, especially in the world of standardized and imprecise content from LLMs (or “AI”, as is fashionable today).
• There are other active services but not publicly usable, such as “tube” – our TV – Peertube. They are currently experimental.

Let’s get into the technical details:

The BSD Cafe is not “cloud ready”. The BSD Cafe was not created to be serverless. We love our servers, and we don’t need the “cloud” to run our services.

The BSD Cafe started with a FreeBSD VM on Hetzner in Finland for €3.29 per month. It is still active and is the primary for the entire infrastructure and is named “bsdcafevm”. It hosts the reverse proxy, in a jail, which routes all incoming connections, and is the “router” for the larger VM. This VM also hosts a “ns2” jail, which is the secondary DNS, and the “backup” instance of Mastodon, which helps with queue management and becomes primary when I shut down the other one during updates. For IPv6, Hetzner assigns a routed /64 block. I have divided it into /72 subnets so that I can route to other VPSs, services, etc., and provide an IPv6 address to any jail.

The main VPS, which hosts the services, called “bc01”, connects to this VM via Wireguard. bc01 has some particular characteristics, including:

• It was originally a VM on Proxmox, as I was using hardware I already owned. It is now on bhyve, on a FreeBSD host under my control (in Germany).
• It does not have a public IP assigned, but connects to the Internet only via NAT on the host. This is a clear choice: this VM should only connect to bsdcafevm. BSDCafeVM will forward connections from the reverse proxy and will handle “NATing” outgoing IPv4 connections from bc01. The Wireguard rules on BSDCafeVM will also ensure that IPv6 connections reach the jails of this VM. The purpose is simple: this VM must be able to be moved anywhere, and the services must be able to resume functioning immediately. And this happens because all it needs is a Wireguard connection to BSDCafeVM, so there are no services exposed directly. This is the reason why this VM has been moved many times without any changes to IPs, addresses, etc. More information on this VM later.

A small VM (for one euro per month) based on FreeBSD that, within a jail, has the ns1 nameserver, which is the primary authoritative one. This VM also serves other purposes from time to time, such as monitoring the rest, etc.

A jail within one of my FreeBSD hosts in Poland, on OVH, contains the media files for the Mastodon instance. This is the most voluminous part of the entire hosting setup because Mastodon downloads and reprocesses all the multimedia content it encounters. This is for two main purposes: to clean it, in order to possibly remove malicious content, and to ensure that users of one’s own instance only have contact with their own media repository, not with that of the original instance – both for performance and privacy reasons. This server has spinning disks. Initially, I used Minio, but over time, performance plummeted. A few months ago, I migrated to SeaweedFS, and I am very satisfied with it. The outgoing bandwidth of this machine is not very wide, and I have other services on it. For this reason, I applied a solution that I described in an article on my blog.

I have used some VMs or physical hosts (spread across Europe and the USA) to act as a CDN. The BSD Cafe’s DNS will return the IP (both v4 and v6) closest to the caller, among those available, and this host will connect directly to the media server, then caching the content. The problem, in fact, does not arise when a user scrolls through their timeline, but as soon as they publish multimedia content: all known instances will connect to download and reprocess that file, generating a spike. This has little impact if it is a normal post, but it is extremely voluminous if it is content of a considerable size, like an image or a video. In this way, the various CDN nodes will download the content only once and serve it to all instances in their area of competence. These CDN nodes also do other things, can be activated or deactivated based on my needs, and are based on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD (one of them is on OpenBSD Amsterdam).

Another FreeBSD VPS (which I use for other things) contains “status.bsd.cafe“, which is the jail with Uptime Kuma that shows the status of the services or any of my communications about them. I do not receive notifications from this host, but from another monitoring system, so it is only to show the status of the situation.

In practice, the BSD Cafe mainly needs the “endpoint” VPS, the VPS with the services, and the jail with the media, which could be condensed into a single system if desired. Everything else is optional and I keep it active as I have resources available on external hardware.

Many of the technical choices have been documented in articles on my blog or in the BSD Cafe Wiki.

But all of this requires backups. And the BSD Cafe has a clear and defined backup procedure.

The main VPSs – namely bsdcafevm and bc01 – are based on FreeBSD and, therefore, ZFS. Both have the same type of backup, defined as follows:

• A local snapshot every 5 minutes, kept for two hours. In this way, in case of problems, it is possible to “clean up the coffee drop” before the tablecloth is indelibly stained—as well as one per hour, kept for 24 hours.
• An external backup, performed at regular intervals, to an external backup host. The frequency varies from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the available space and the load, which I modify according to my needs. All datasets of the VMs are copied, including system ones, for a possible quick recovery in case of a disaster.
• An external backup to a backup server of mine, one meter away from me. This happens every 24 hours, and I consider it the “extreme disaster recovery” because, in my opinion, the safest data is the data that is physically reachable. The disks of this server (which also contains other backups) are all encrypted with GELI, so in case of theft, they are unusable.

Last but not least, the physical FreeBSD host on which bc01 currently rests is also backed up every 15 minutes to another external backup server, so the entire disk image. An additional layer of redundancy, to help me sleep better at night.

From a technical standpoint, therefore, I have tried to create a simple but secure infrastructure, with the most granular separation possible (for example: the main Mastodon instance has a jail for Mastodon, one for the Redis for the queues, etc., one for the Redis for the timeline caches (only in RAM, does not write to disk), and one for the database (PostgreSQL).

Then there are the common service jails (unbound for DNS resolutions, smtp for sending and receiving emails, etc.).

Being the Barista of the BSD Cafe is a privilege and an honor. The success of the project has exceeded my expectations, and this has filled me with joy. The BSD community is fantastic, mature, intelligent, and positive. The friends who approach the BSDs absorb all of this and transmit it to others, creating a virtuous circle. But it’s not always roses. There are problems, from time to time, that need to be solved. And, to quote my previous talk: “The main challenge is often ideological, not technical“.

Apart from the problems with blendit – Lemmy – which accumulates all the media it sees in a frenzied way and never deletes it, as well as having created serious update problems – all the software is on average stable and reliable.

The most complex part of my role as a barista, in fact, is not technical, but human: moderation. The techniques of scams and disturbances are constantly improving, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish a new friend of the bar from a troublemaker. But the biggest challenge is maintaining balance.

Our philosophy is clear: to be for, not against. Supporters, not haters. This principle is a conscious choice, in stark contrast to the dominant model of commercial social media. These platforms are often designed around an engagement economy, where algorithms optimized to generate conflict and outrage maximize the time spent on the site and, consequently, advertising profits. The BSD Cafe rejects this model. We are not here to capitalize on anger, but to build a refuge from the toxicity of the internet.

This approach manifests itself in the way we handle controversial topics. Recently, a technical theme with strong political implications has begun to appear in discussions. My line is not to censor the topic itself. I firmly believe in open discussion. I only intervene when the discussion ceases to be a critical analysis and becomes a personal attack. For some, this is not enough: they would like a total ban on certain topics and the immediate exclusion of those who introduce them. My experience, however, has shown me that a more patient approach is often more constructive. I have seen people support controversial software solutions simply because they did not know their background. Thanks to civil and informative discussions, they have understood the context, thanked the community, and made more informed choices. Banning them instantly would have been unfair and would have denied everyone an opportunity for growth.

However, this philosophy of constructive positivity has attracted a specific criticism: that of promoting “Toxic Positivity”. The accusation is that, in our desire to maintain a serene environment, we end up excluding those who are suffering, invalidating their negative experiences because they “clash” with the atmosphere of the bar.

This is a criticism that I take very seriously, because it touches the heart of the project. And my answer is that it is a fundamental misunderstanding of our purpose. The goal is not to deny that pain, injustice, and suffering exist in the world. On the contrary: the BSD Cafe exists precisely because the world is often a difficult place.

Our purpose is not to pretend that those who suffer should stop suffering, but to offer them a place where, for a while, they may not be defined solely by their suffering. A place where they can be, first and foremost, a technology enthusiast, a FreeBSD expert, a curious OpenBSD user. A friend of the bar. We are always ready to support, console, and help those who need it, but we want to protect that mental space where shared passions unite us and give us relief.

Fortunately, this vision is confirmed by the very people we are trying to help. The number of private messages of appreciation I receive from people going through terrible times far exceeds the criticism. They write to me that “the civil, friendly, and constructive level of the BSD Cafe is good for their mental health”, because it allows them to disconnect from daily dramas that would otherwise be unbearable.

I am just the Barista. I can’t solve the world’s problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good (BSD) coffee, distribute (many) stickers, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing. But a bar is nothing without its regulars. And the success of the BSD Cafe is not mine, but that of the BSD Community and the friends who are part of it. The richness of this place is not only the quality of the Coffee (which, being BSD, is very high), but mainly the human richness of the friends who are part of it. And to them, to all of you, I say thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

We need more bars and fewer shopping malls, and that is why I recently also founded the illumos Cafe. We want people who sit down, who socialize, or who simply enjoy the atmosphere of an environment that is familiar, friendly, and positive to them. Like this conference and all the BSD Conferences, because the environment is the same. Enough of shiny shop windows; a good hot drink, in the company of friends, can help you live better. “From the people, for the people“.

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/117197654600279594

Protestors pushed me too far―repeatedly―over a period of around eighteen months.

Incidents on 30th August pushed me too far, in ways that citizens of a normal community can not possibly imagine.

People someone randomly complain that Reddit is a cesspit.

The citizens of the Fediverse have―as a horde―successfully federated to create a global community that is worse than I ever predicted. Worse than any combination of X + Truth Social. It's not a normal community.

It's abnormal.

Now I understand why Reddit, Inc. began using the word "community" instead of "subreddit". Reddit has features―some obscure, some not―that permit a community to flourish.

Flourish, without overall degradation from protestors who imagine that their individual and collective voices are always acceptable in any situation that suits them.

A Fediverse that lacks comparable subsections has failed me.

Yesterday, I used a feature of Mastodon to begin putting up something that's not normally associated with Mastodon:

― guard rails.

I enjoy this newly guarded, assisted Fediverse, in a way that pleases me, and should please other people.

It's probably fair to say that the era of me encouraging people to use Mastodon has ended.

Farewell to the Fediverse that failed.

Welcome to a guarded Fediverse that has a greater possibility of winning.

The only constant on the #fediverse is that Mookie will be in constant motion.

Alright folks, I'm trying something new, so I'm making a new #introduction.

Hiya! I'm Drew.

I've recently set up a second #fedi account using a #holos relay through my domain name, so I'm trying out the #fediverse from my phone. Cool! My regular mastodon handle is @abmurrow@hachyderm.io for those curious.

I'm a #webdev in #Drupal, #PHP, and I do a bit of work in #FOSS. I am originally from the Appalachias in the southeast US, but these days I'm living in #Aotearoa #NZ. I am learning clawhammer #banjo and am seeking out weird, old, crooked tunes the play on it because I really enjoy the sound.

I work with #Linux, #nix, and #nixos, though I'm starting to take a serious look at the #BSD world. I'm strongly anti #AI and #LLM and do my best to avoid unethical software and hardware. This opinion will not be changed through persuasion or "spirited debate" ;)

I believe in the power of FLOSS and the OSS community, but more than that, I believe that tools have opinions that usually get left there by people with opinions, and using those tools tends to frame your thinking and behavior even when you don't expect it. So tool choice is, in effect, and ethical choice and one that will change you. What does that mean? It means I'm constantly in friction with my daily choices and am seeking out alternatives all the time that better fit with my values, which is why I'm here!

Holos offers a nice way to self host my data without self hosting a bespoke fedi instance, so I'm taking a look around before I commit.

Glad to be here!

Wochenrückblick KW 34/2026 – Frau Kolumna aus Halbestadt

Was für eine Woche rund um Königstein und Halbestadt. Mal Sonne, mal Wolken, zwischendurch ordentlich Regen – und inzwischen merkt man deutlich: Der Sommer beginnt langsam, sich Richtung Spätsommer zu verabschieden.

Dabei zeigt sich unsere Landschaft noch einmal von ihrer besonders schönen Seite. Große Blüten öffnen sich, über Königstein und der Festung ziehen mächtige weiße und graue Wolken hinweg, und auf den Wiesen rund um die Sellnitz leuchtet das Gras schon ein wenig goldener. Genau solche Momente erinnern mich immer wieder daran, wie schön wir es hier haben. 🌿

Aber natürlich wäre Halbestadt nicht Halbestadt, wenn nicht auch wieder jemand auf Wanderschaft gehen würde.

Dass hin und wieder ein paar Ziegen meinen, die Straße gehöre eigentlich ihnen, kennt man hier inzwischen fast schon. Diese Woche hatten offenbar auch einige der weißen „Weihnachtsgänse“ vom Steingut Lust auf einen kleinen Ausflug. Vielleicht wollten sie einfach einmal sehen, was außerhalb ihrer Wiese so los ist. Oder sie ahnen bereits, welche Bestimmung der Name „Weihnachtsgans“ mit sich bringt und wollten vorsichtshalber schon einmal Fluchtwege erkunden. 😉

Der Gänsewirt vom Steingut hatte die Ausreißer jedenfalls schnell wieder eingesammelt. Als die Reisegruppe zurück bei den anderen war, gab es auf der Wiese ein ordentliches Geschnatter. Vermutlich musste erst einmal ausführlich berichtet werden, was man unterwegs alles erlebt hatte.

Und auch eine kleine Katze namens Tali hat offenbar bereits große Reisepläne. Sie möchte gern die weite Welt erkunden, findet danach aber nicht unbedingt genauso zuverlässig wieder nach Hause. Deshalb trägt sie inzwischen ein Halsband mit Telefonnummer. Falls sie also wieder irgendwo neugierig auftaucht, weiß man wenigstens, wohin die kleine Weltenbummlerin gehört.

Auch an der Elbe tut sich etwas: Nach dem Regen steigt der Wasserstand langsam wieder an. Das ist nach den trockenen Wochen durchaus erfreulich.

Für Wanderer und Ausflügler gibt es weiterhin jede Menge Möglichkeiten. Die Festung Königstein bietet zahlreiche Veranstaltungen, in der Umgebung lässt es sich wunderbar wandern und auch auf der Elbe kann man beispielsweise mit Kanu Aktiv Tours unterwegs sein.

Allerdings ist inzwischen wieder etwas mehr Vorsicht gefragt: Der Regen wird kräftiger, die Temperaturen gehen langsam zurück und auch der Wind nimmt zu. Gerade im Wald können aufgeweichte Böden, herabfallende Äste oder umstürzende Bäume schnell gefährlich werden. Also lieber einmal mehr nach oben schauen und bei Sturmwarnungen eine Wanderung verschieben.

Und schon ein kleiner Ausblick auf KW 35: Am kommenden Samstag dürfte es wieder weithin zu hören sein – dann gibt es auf der Festung Königstein wieder „Kanonendonner über dem Elbtal“. 💥

Bis dahin genießen wir noch die schönen Seiten des Spätsommers, beobachten die Wolken über der Festung – und schauen vorsichtshalber nach, ob gerade irgendwo Ziegen, Gänse oder kleine Katzen auf großer Entdeckungstour sind.

Eure Frau Kolumna aus Halbestadt

Centralized platforms can delete your voice with one click. Decentralized systems take that power away from the corporation. If we want real free speech, we need infrastructure that nobody owns. It is the only way to ensure information stays accessible.

Heelloo u guys! 👋🥹 I miss y'all🫂 I hope u all have a great #weekend & #silentsunday. I'm kinda better but not 100% fully recovered—still it's a progress.
I went & had a check-up & TYPE B INFLUENZA was the suspect with all of this.. I had to isolate myself and avoid crowded places. Its heartbreaking obviously but dont worry I will definetely be fine & will recover as my doctor says.

So u kno what's hard guys? Take a guess. *sighs*

I almost had to sell my phone just to so I could get myself checked up, But I was lucky to have some voucher to get an xray & paid the half price of the doctor's fee because i need 2 go back 4 my second check-up next week & pay the other half.

Also I was so broke to get this prescribed antibiotics & sum other unreadable writing of the doctor.
WHAT A PLOT TWIST OF MY LIFE. 🥲🥲

SPITBALLING HERE:
has anybody turned pics into SVGs, and embedded #AIslop prompts in them?

pinging @dansup @Gargron @evan because been pondering this too: it was easy for AI vultures to scrape images because JPG PNG WEBP GIF are self-enclosed containers. SVG, though, is an image turned into code you can embed into HTML.

so, given the #fediverse is based on permissions, what if SVG is the unlogged & poisoned default?

fedi’s login and de/federation systems might be the AI deterrent we need.

The CPU was baked from the snac process running at max. I shutdown nginx so that no traffic was coming through and snac was still sitting there chewing through the CPU -- even after a reboot.

It's been more than six months here, maybe it's time for me to built and migrate again.

Als kleinen Nachtrag zu unserer gestrigen Fediverse-Sprechstunde zum Thema „Was sind Issues und wie erstelle ich welche?“ möchte ich die wichtigsten Punkte rund um Issues noch einmal kompakt zusammenfassen. 🐞💡

Issues – kurz zusammengefasst

Was ist ein Issue?
Ein Issue ist ein strukturierter Eintrag in der Projektverwaltung einer Software. Damit können Nutzer, Administratoren und Entwickler beispielsweise Fehler melden, Verbesserungen vorschlagen, Wünsche einbringen oder konkrete Aufgaben diskutieren und verfolgen.

Wofür werden Issues genutzt?

• 🐞 Bug Report: Einen Fehler melden
• 💡 Feature Request: Eine neue Funktion vorschlagen
• 🔧 Verbesserung: Bestehendes Verhalten optimieren
• 📝 Dokumentation: Fehler oder Lücken in Anleitungen melden
• 💬 Klärung: Technische Probleme nachvollziehbar beschreiben und gemeinsam untersuchen

Ein gutes Issue sollte …

einen aussagekräftigen Titel haben
Nicht: „Friendica funktioniert nicht“
Besser: „Bilder können beim Erstellen eines Beitrags nicht hochgeladen werden“

das Problem möglichst genau beschreiben
Was wollte ich tun? Was ist stattdessen passiert?

reproduzierbar sein
Welche Schritte führen zu dem Fehler?

wichtige technische Angaben enthalten
Zum Beispiel Software-Version, Browser, Betriebssystem, verwendete App oder Serverumgebung – soweit für das Problem relevant.

Fehlermeldungen und Logs enthalten
Wenn vorhanden, aber vorher unbedingt auf Passwörter, Tokens, IP-Adressen oder andere sensible Daten prüfen.

vorher die Suche nutzen 🔎
Vielleicht wurde das Problem bereits gemeldet. Dann ist es oft hilfreicher, ein bestehendes Issue um zusätzliche Informationen zu ergänzen.

Vom Problem zur Lösung

Problem entdecken → vorhandene Issues suchen → Informationen sammeln → Issue erstellen → Rückfragen beantworten → gemeinsam Ursache finden → Lösung → Issue schließen

Wichtig dabei: Ein Issue ist keine Bestellung an die Entwickler. Bei vielen Fediverse-Projekten arbeiten Menschen freiwillig in ihrer Freizeit. Ein freundlicher, sachlicher und möglichst vollständiger Bericht erleichtert ihnen die Arbeit erheblich.

Warum sind Issues für das Fediverse wichtig?

Open-Source-Software lebt von Beteiligung. Man muss nicht programmieren können, um zur Entwicklung beizutragen.

Ein gut geschriebenes Issue kann bereits ein wertvoller Beitrag sein. Nutzer kennen Probleme aus ihrem Alltag, Administratoren sehen die Auswirkungen auf ihren Instanzen und Entwickler können daraus technische Lösungen entwickeln.

Issues verbinden damit Nutzer, Admins und Entwickler. 🤝

Fehler finden ist keine Kritik am Projekt – einen Fehler nachvollziehbar zu melden kann aktive Mitarbeit am Projekt sein.

Vielleicht hilft diese kleine Zusammenfassung dem einen oder anderen dabei, beim nächsten entdeckten Fehler, einer Idee oder einem Verbesserungsvorschlag selbst den Weg zum Issue-Tracker zu finden.

Denn auch ohne selbst programmieren zu können, können wir mit guten und aussagekräftigen Issues einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung freier Software leisten. 🤝🌐
