Stefano on littleFedi
@stefanoIt's me, Stefano, the BSD and illumos Cafe Barista.
I'm testing something cool - littleFedi!
This instance is efficiently running on a Raspberry PI Zero W, powered by NetBSD.
Let's go!
It seems I can hear a lot of repeaters and users, but nobody can hear me 😔
MeshCore Radio for Social Networking and Disasters with zero Internet required
The Boland Amateur Radio Club (BARC) invited me to do this talk on 23 July 2026. HAMNET Emergency Communications provided the Zoom platform. The audience consisted of radio amateurs, citizens, and disaster management.

That subtle pleasure of knowing that yes, they’re still there, but you won’t have to deal with them tonight. Or tomorrow. That you won’t have to rush.
Instead, a moment has arrived for you, to slow down.
Some Friday nights are the best moment of the week.

Seems like it took Apple over a year to fix this issue with hide my email. And it’s still not over.

Apple has fixed the bug in Hide My Email that linked Hide My Email addresses to your real one, but leaked email addresses could still be in third-party logs: https://easyoptouts.com/guides/apple-hide-my-email-was-leaking-email-addresses

So July 2026 is my 25th anniversary of running OpenBSD as my Desktop operating system, and my preferred OS in general, from 2.9 to 7,9 50 releases, and it keeps getting better!

WebCrawler - December 1996

Microsoft 365 aka Microsoft Copilot aka Office 365 has jumped off a cliff.
Today, the Linuxulator did its job, and it did it very well.
A client is experimenting with moving from Docker to FreeBSD and jails, and they seem very happy with it so far.
The issue is that part of their build process - as so often happens - relies on Node dependencies that only compile on Linux, macOS, etc., but not on FreeBSD, due to a missing binary that isn't provided for it. Currently, they build on their local machines and push the output to the server, but sometimes they need to make quick changes on the fly.
So, I set up a Linux jail (Ubuntu) using BastilleBSD, installed the dependencies, set up a bind mount, and granted them access to the jail. The result: now they can compile right from there too, improving their overall workflow.
The Linuxulator - and even more so, illumos's lx zones - are truly remarkable pieces of technology.

Most of us walk through museums reading the little labels & nodding. Name, date, oil on canvas. This is the rest of it: the 8 questions art historians actually ask, asked out loud on the paintings everyone knows.
