I hear with regret that the AsiaBSDCon 2025 has been canceled. Even though I couldn't be able to attend, I'm disappointed because the BSDCons are amazing events. A virtual hug to the organizers and good luck with preparations for the next conference

Good morning #fosdem!
Letโs have a great weekend with awesome talks about #opensource!
#BSD #RUNBSD #credativ @credativde
Tomorrow the #opensource #FOSDEM #conference starts in #Brussels, #Belgium!
Letโs see if we can attract more people to #BSD based systems by providing free #vps running #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #illumos as an #opensolaris solution.
@gyptazy will be onsite to provide you more information or even stickers ;)
#FOSDEM 2025 - anyone interested into #GPG key signing?
If you're interested:
* Provide a printed snippet of your fingerprint (gpg-key2ps)
* I will send you the signing to your email (instead of uploading them to key servers [gpg-mailkeys])
* You can find my key at https://gpg.gyptazy.com and you're allowed to upload them to key servers.
* Have you passport / ID card with you to validate your identity
* I'll probably be mostly in the #BSDDevroom but you can also ping me on Matrix
Happy key signing!

Brussels - here I come! Happy to be part of the #FOSDEM 2025!
Happy to have some great chats with you all about #BSD / #FreeBSD, #BoxyBSD, #ProxLB and #ZFS as an awesome filesystem! See you there!

Just a few days ago, I lunched my new relay service for the #Fediverse and I'm really happy to see that there're already many ones connected to - more than 50 instances in just a few days!
But what makes me even really happy is to see, that my service [2] also gets linked in the release notes of #snac [1] / #snac2 - and I can recommend the usage of relay services (it doesn't matter which one!) to everyone. It provides more content from connected instances to you, but also brings your posts - from your local instance - up to other ones within the federated network where it can get much easier distributed around other instances.
#snac is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the #ActivityPub protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated #Mastodon API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be #Mastodon, #GoToSocial etc!
And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on #FreeBSD, my howto [3] might help you out.

When I founded BSD Cafe, I did it because I knew the community around BSD is amazing. More like a family than just a community. And every day I get confirmation of that.
I can finally, officially confirm that the talk "Why Choose to Use the BSDs in 2025" has been accepted and is scheduled for the next OSDay 2025, which will take place on 21/03/2025 in Florence, Italy.
There was a vote on GitHub, and this talk, by a narrow margin, received the most votes overall. Another testament to how the BSD family moves as one.
It is an honor to receive all these votes and to present, in a brief 25-minute talk + 5 minutes for questions, our beloved BSDs. I will try my best not to disappoint you, but for now, let me say a huge: THANK YOU!

wow, that was quick - more than 30 instances already connected to my relay in just such a short time :) Let's be federated and help even smaller #instances to distribute their content & posts!
You can find more information at:

The instance is reachable on IPv4 and IPv6.

A new Valuable News weekly from @vermaden is out - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2025/01/20/valuable-news-2025-01-20/ - always a useful resource #bsd #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd #bsdnews #valuablenews
The #BoxyBSD project is taking a pause from provisioning completely free #vps instances / #vserver. For further questions, reach out to @gyptazy or in our Matrix chat.
After publishing the new self-service portal and making it easier to use and get a free VPS instance, we got a lot more new users who requested an instance than usual. Weโre not out of resources but we want to provide a great and reliable service and have a buffer for upcoming things.
Weโre already restocking the resources and adding new nodes to the project but temporary stop provisioning new instances. In the meantime, we will provide new services that will make the overall experience for users much better and easier.
We already started this with the new #NAT64 gateways and the new free #loadbalancing service that allows you to serve your website also on #IPv4, even your box is #IPv6 only.
Weโre addicted to the #BSD community and hope to provide your quickly more #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD and all the other bsd based systems again. In the meantime - have fun and #RUNBSD
#free #hosting #bhyve #zfs #firewall #networking #community #opensource #fediverse #services
We just added a free #loadbalancing service to #BoxyBSD!
This new feature got added by @gyptazy in addition to the newly introduced #NAT64 gateways to make your life easier and is currently tested with a few users! This provides you the ability to make your website also reachable by #IPv4 even your box is only running on #IPv6. This feature can be managed from your self-service portal and simply requires you to add a DNS name that should be balanced and to point the DNS A record to a given IPv4.
Making the legacy internet life easier, we hope for a higher #BSD adaption where people might be more motivated to try #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #opensolaris with #illumos.

Wonder if Iโm ready for new adventures. #OpenBSD 7.6 ran without any great issues. The iwx driver worked like a charm after getting its firmware, but maybe I should start looking into #NetBSD - itโs about time to get acquainted with the whole family #BSD #RUNBSD #UNIX

2025 is starting great - and I took all opportunities!
Like probably all personal playgrounds, I started small with many technically working but not ideal solutions. Ignoring several RFC's, standards etc,.
This also applies to my @BoxyBSD project that provides free VPS (#BSD focussed, such like #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD but also #illumos / #opensolaris etc.,) boxes for the #opensource community and beginners to provide them a place for learning and education.
I decreased (yeah decreased) the amount of overall systems. Instead, we now have bigger sized systems which makes the overall management easier and also improved the whole networking stack. Also some other benefits came along with this ;) I'm really happy to see what 2025 brings up - and there're several great things to be announced soon :)
Is there #BSD/#FOSS centric #mobilizon instance I should use for our #Dรผsseldorf BSD User Group? Would like to get rid of meetup.com in the long term.

So..TLS aside, what is the most lightweight reverse proxy I can use instead of nginx in front of this thing? You know, in case I would like to move the instance from this beefy PPro to, say, a #486 or a #Nintendo Wii running #NetBSD? :)
