  5. 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.

  7. Where Have You Been for the Last 20 Years?

    A personal journey from 20 years of self-doubt to discovering the welcoming BSD community at BSDCan. Sometimes courage comes later in life.

  8. Dear friends of the #BSDCafe and the entire community,

    Unfortunately, sometimes things in life do not go as planned. Becoming an adult also means learning to accept this and to set priorities. Over the past few months I have had some family matters that required my attention. I waited as long as possible before making a final decision, but the moment has now come.

    I have informed the BSDCan team that, sadly, I will have to withdraw from the event and will not be able to present my talk.

    BSD conferences have become some of the most important events of the year for me. They bring joy, positivity, and motivation. When one ends, I already start looking forward to the next with enthusiasm. In Zagreb I said goodbye to everyone with "see you in Ottawa". This year, unfortunately, that will not happen.

    The only consolation is that the situation fortunately seems to be moving toward a resolution, although more slowly than expected. Because of this, I cannot in good conscience keep things uncertain and hope that everything will work out in time. I need to take a step back for now, already feeling the enthusiasm for the next EuroBSDCon.

  9. Catch Norbert Kamiński's EuroBSDcon talk on porting fwupd to the *BSDs — why firmware matters for system security and how the porting process works. A must-watch for sysadmins, firmware hackers and BSD fans! #fwupd #BSD #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #Firmware #Security #EuroBSDcon #English

  10. Conferences - #asiabsdcon is only a couple of weeks away, the call for papers for #eurobsdcon starts tomorrow, and #BSDCan is on for June.

  11. If you are in tech or interested and have not yet been to a regional #BSD conference, I would recommend you consider going to one.

    A short description of the three major ones can be found in my recent piece "What is BSD? Come to a conference to find out!" nxdomain.no/~peter/what_is_bsd (G-tracked bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/11/wha). Fun fact: I'll be at all three this year

  12. This morning I was thinking about something: one of the reasons why every enthusiast should consider going to a BSDCon is simple.

    I eat a lot and I still come back slimmer 😄

    2024 - EuroBSDCon: ate twice as much as usual, came back from Dublin 1 kg lighter.
    2025 - BSDCan: breakfasts that could cover a whole day’s calories, huge delicious meals... came back from Ottawa 0.5 kg lighter.
    2025 - EuroBSDCon: double breakfast (sweet + savory), massive lunches, delicious dinners (including a huge pizza, as @outofcreativity, @angie and @mwl can confirm) and still came back 0.5 kg lighter.

    Positive emotions burn calories.

    So come to BSDCons: you’ll come back happy and slimmer!

  13. #got #gameoftrees #vcs

    In parity with got-0.119, I've also released -portable 0.119

    Everything in this release was done to make sure gotwebd's auth method works in -portable.

    Please note that we've done some testing of this, but most likely there could be some additional kinks.

    I'd be keen to know if you spot any -- if so, please let me know.

    Apologies, I've not got[1] round to adding signify(1) support yet to the releases. I am working on that.

    This release is nicely timed with @stsp's talk at #eurobsdcon on Sunday regarding #gothub.

    Usual mirror on xteddy.org has been updated.

    Usual info here:

    gameoftrees.org/portable.html

    Now shut up and hack!

    [1]: "gotten", you wish I'd say? Err, no, no... not in my vocabulary. ;) ;)

  14. Tomorrow 2025-09-25 at 10:30 CEST, the refreshed "Network Management with the OpenBSD Packet Filter Toolset" events.eurobsdcon.org/2025/tal by yours truly, @stucchimax and Tom Smyth will start at #eurobsdcon.

    We will put the updated slides online just before the session starts.

  15. In 2013 I wrote up "Maintaining A Publicly Available Blacklist - Mechanisms And Principles" (also bsdly.blogspot.com/2013/04/mai) . TL;DR: blocklisting is a kind of public shaming, be sure your process is verifiable and transparent.

  20. "Where have you been for the last 20 years?" - The question that changed everything. This isn't a BSDCan report, but a personal reflection on how impostor syndrome stole decades from me, and why it's never too late to find your community and live life fully.

    This year has been such a mess, but can’t wait to rejoin the BSD fold, so to speak :’) ♡

  29. A ton of groovy videos just dropped into my / feed this morning.

    I've never been so delighted to only understand every other word or so. 🤣
