Seems like we are reaching the good amount of links for a new #OpenBSD webzine issue soon :flan_hacker:

https://webzine.puffy.cafe/

I’m going to beat up on #OpenBSD

Not because of the tragedy of sysjail (which I funded)

Not for “just enough file system to load your PF ruleset”

Not for discontinuing CDs and STICKERS…

BUT FOR AN UBERTRAGIC LACK OF @bsdcan TALK SUBMISSIONS!

Some of the single greatest #BSDCan talks have been OpenBSD ones!

Let’s go Fish Linux!

Puffy4Evah!

Start your syspatch engines!

006: RELIABILITY FIX: January 10, 2025 All architectures

Traffic sent over wg(4) could result in kernel crash.

@jmcunx that also works :)

How are you using your #OpenBSD VM?

@gumnos that is ok. At least it’s OpenBSD :)

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,

As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?

For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.

BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.

Promoting self-hosting and #OwnYourData has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.

Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:

- mastodon.bsd.cafe: 370 total users
Active in the past month: 207
Active in the past six months: 286
- snac.bsd.cafe: 14 total users
Active in the past month: 7
- blendit.bsd.cafe: 61 registered users
- matrix.bsd.cafe: 23 users
- brew.bsd.cafe: 29 users - 80 repositories
- freshrss.bsd.cafe: 25 users
- miniflux.bsd.cafe: 11 users
- press.bsd.cafe: 9 users
- myip.bsd.cafe: Constantly used by various users
- wiki.bsd.cafe: Could use a bit more love and content, but it fulfills its role as a functional homepage.
- tube.bsd.cafe: Still in testing - Peertube 7.0 update is on the way.

For detailed stats from our reverse proxy and general router (excluding media services, which generate most traffic but are handled via caching reverse proxies), you can check here - updated hourly: https://netstats.bsd.cafe

The journey of BSD Cafe continues, and I look forward to seeing where 2025 will take us. Together, we’ve built something special - something driven by passion, shared purpose, and a little bit of the BSD magic that makes all of this possible.

Here’s to a new year full of joy, serenity, and connection. Thank you for being part of this adventure.

Wishing you all a fantastic 2025 - and THANK YOU!
Stefano

@deventer updated the blog post.

@deventer Nice find!! That does indeed saves from adding a local wrapper for rdistd.

We donated €950 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, this year €11700, and €47550 since we started.

There were 254 new VMs added and in total 610 VMs were renewed.

This month 17 new VMs were added and 52 VMs were renewed.

Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!

We want to wish you a Happier New Year! It's time for a better one.
Stay safe & healthy!

#RUNBSD in 2025

The #OpenBSD Foundation has surpassed its fundraising goal for 2024!

The total smaller donations from the OpenBSD community has reached Iridium tier for the 5th year in a row! Awesome! 😎

@joel great!

Good morning! Part deux!

I moved my static web site to Game of Trees because the old method broke since the last time I updated it.

Here's a new post documenting some of what it took to get there:

Moving to gotd for web site version control: https://trustworth.ee/move-to-gotd.html

Thanks for gotd! @stsp
