Zwischen den Jahren: draußen kalt, drinnen warm. Auf dem Tisch Kaffee, auf den Füßen der Hund, daneben ein Raspberry Pi.

Ich habe OpenCloud installiert, um herauszufinden, wie viel Cloud man wirklich selbst betreiben kann, ohne den Verstand zu verlieren. Schreiben half beim Denken. Aus Notizen wurde Struktur. Am Ende lagen ein 222-seitiges Taschenbuch und ein E-Book da. Passiert.

🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟

Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.

BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.

The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.

The main server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also present and have been able to move individual jails to different, more powerful, machines.

Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.

Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.

The instance started empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.

Join us at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.

Our wiki, located at https://wiki.bsd.cafe, features essential links and articles related to the BSD world. It provides an overview of the tools, services, rules, uptime, and more information about the BSD Cafe Services.

A Matrix server, a Miniflux RSS Reader, the Wiki itself, and the BlendIT Lemmy instance are all part of the BSD Cafe services, with more to come.

#Berlin will sich langfristig von #Windows und #MicrosoftOffice lösen und setzt auf eine neue #OpenSource-Strategie für die Verwaltung.

Geplant sind Schulungen, Sprechstunden, ein Infoportal und ein Linux-basierter Notfallarbeitsplatz. Ziel ist mehr Unabhängigkeit, Transparenz und Sicherheit in der IT.

Erste Maßnahmen laufen bereits, doch die Umstellung erfordert Zeit und Kulturwandel in einer stark von proprietärer Software geprägten Infrastruktur.

Call to action: If you use Firefox (or Firefox-based browsers) and you haven’t filled out Mozilla’s survey, you should jump on it! Here’s a link: https://mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net/201

If you need inspiration, here is what I wrote in the free form section:

I want Mozilla to return to its roots and develop technology to take back the web from tech giants. Forget about services, lobbying, and appeasing tech bros or investors; we want a competent response to the Chrome/-ium monopoly, which attracts users not by adding useless features, but rather being fast, stable, open, independent, and trustworthy.

Even though I have my doubts on wether my opinion matters to them, this is kind of the best way to let them know that we don’t want an “AI browser” or whatever other grift they dream up, but rather we want a browser that works.

A screenshot of a GitHub Pull Request: ronilaukkarinen commented 3 minutes ago "This isn't the right approach in my view. The world has moved on, utf8 is the standard and I don't think the complexity is worth it. Any reasonably modern IRC client can emit utf8, those that can't aren't worth catering for." I understand your point, and that's fair. However, IRC is one of the oldest messaging platforms, and we still have users running clients that are over 20 years old and don't have that charset support. I'm just tired of telling everyone to update their clients instead of fixing my open-source client. Reminds me of this: Anyway, I can keep using my fork. Thanks for taking the time to review this PR 👍

However, due to significant technological advancements and critical security concerns, Spyder2/Spyder3/Spyder4/Spyder5 activation services will retire effective July 19, 2026, and the product will no longer be supported. Spyder5 and older models utilize software technology reliant on Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1.2, first introduced in 2008. This version of TLS contains known security vulnerabilities that have been publicly documented by major cybersecurity resources, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and various cybersecurity advisory groups. Modern operating systems (Windows/Mac) and web services have already phased out support for TLS v1.2, deeming it obsolete and insecure."

Your response proves my point. Linux has documentation whether you like the quality of it or not.

From your post, someone who has no insight in the matter, would conclude that there is no documentation at all in Linux, which is illogical

If you had stated that BSD has excellent documentation I would not have reacted, because that is a factual and logical statement.

We’ve dropped a video preview of ongoing work to make desktop installation on FreeBSD simpler.

We show a walkthrough of installing FreeBSD 15.0-BETA and then running the new desktop setup script being developed by Alfonso Siciliano.

What do you want to see from Mozilla in the future? As a longtime and respected open source professional, I finally want to have a good answer when someone asks me, "What has Mozilla done for us lately?" I haven't had that answer for many a year. The perception of Mozilla in the greater open source community is that of a company that breaks its promises (where's Pocket?) and panders to big tech, unwilling or unable to take a strong principled stance lest it lose its grip on its purse strings. Mozilla has flailed, starting and ending what feels like more products/projects than Google. It needs to refocus on its mission and double-down on regaining the trust of the community. I do NOT want to see a focus on AI. At all. It's a red herring that's distracting from the mission, not an add-on to it. Furthermore, the ethics of AI (no matter its source) are questionable at best. Aside from IP and other concerns, even the most "open" AI still contributes greatly to degrading our environment. Anything beyond eschewing this tech trend feels antithetical to Mozilla's mission and brand.

I've refactored the init scripts for Sidekiq, Puma, and Streaming to be fully production-grade:

- Correct PID tracking & status reporting.

I published the scripts and the reasoning behind them in my Codeberg gists:

https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/gists/src/branch/main/2026/20250115-FreeBSD_Mastodon_rc.d.md

I use those to run a Mastodon instance and they're working great so far!

GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed!

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

A dark image. The background is unclear and blurry. On the foreground on the left there is a huge circle, inside of which a profile picture belonging to @rileytestut@mastodon.social. On the other side, a bit lower in the frame we see a fediverse logo, but on fire. This is the logo of the Fireside Fedi show. In between those two elements a text is written.
