The latest issue of the FreeBSD Journal has just been published and contains an article written by me: My EuroBSDCon Experience in Dublin

This week in a nutshell: a series of Windows VPS migrated from Proxmox to FreeBSD, a new OpenBSD installation, and a NetBSD-based tutorial in the works. A series of FreeBSD jail migrations between various servers (some optimizations, others upgrades). A long-awaited reply that still hasn't arrived. The video of my interview, however, has arrived. A surprise article (which won't appear on my blog but in a much more important place for our BSD community) has almost been finished. Some new and old friends have joined the BSD Cafe.

A Pixel 9 Pro XL with GrapheneOS has become (to my great satisfaction) my daily driver – and I must thank the post https://exquisite.social/@h3artbl33d/113437597486377905 by @h3artbl33d for reigniting my interest in making it my daily driver. Yesterday, I also got a smartwatch fully supported by Gadgetbridge (thanks for this great piece of software, @gadgetbridge )so I no longer have to send my personal data around. And once again, thanks to the friends on the Fediverse (I won’t list them all) for the interesting list of suggestions that came from this post: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/113474709502407272.

Some photos, lots of bureaucracy, almost enough sleep. Now it's Friday night, and the next step is to head to bed. I’ll configure Gadgetbridge more thoroughly while my wife starts dozing off before deciding what to watch, so I’ll probably end up watching something on my own.

Meanwhile, as often happens whenever she sees me a little tired or a bit demoralized, she quietly pulled out and hung up what’s in the photo, next to my bed station, to remind me of the positivity and joy of those days.

Happy Friday, friends of the BSD Cafe and the entire Fediverse. Have a great weekend!

Following on from the above, I have written up my thoughts on last weekend's @EuroBSDCon trip.

https://www.foxk.it/blog/eurobsdcon-2024-report/

Long story short, I had a great time, really enjoyed speaking, listened to and learned a lot and met lots of interesting people.

By the time I left my brain was melted, but in the best way possible.

Best question I was asked all weekend: "You're Irish, can I take clotted cream home by air?" Sure buddy, go wild.

My slides for my #EuroBSDcon talk "Building a Modern Packet Radio Network using Open Software", an overview of what myself and others have been doing to support the UK Packet Radio Network, are available on the con system:

- Slide PDF: https://events.eurobsdcon.org/media/2024/submissions/VMBGCY/resources/EuroBSDCon_Packet_Radio_3vxgXs7.pdf

- event page https://events.eurobsdcon.org/2024/talk/VMBGCY/

The talk is available on the live stream feeds - I start at 3:21:50 or at the following direct link:

I hit most of my main talking points, but there is some stuff in my notes I missed. I had a blast and it was a great weekend of pragmatic, technical and interesting conversation! I'm open for chat and can talk about radios alllll day!

When you have been 4 days in Dublin and face recognition only works in 1 out of 2 attempts, when trying to open your iPhone. #EuroBSDCon #EuroBSDCon2024 #EBC24 #EuroBSDCon2025

While we wait for the individual videos, here are my slides from EuroBSDCon: https://it-notes.dragas.net/slides/EuroBSDCon2024_Marinelli.pdf

And if anyone is following, when I got back from #EuroBSDCon #ebc24 fermentation of the cider had completed perfectly

Waiting to go to the airport. We weren't able to visit the center of Dublin, but there will be a next time. The Irish are extremely kind, friendly, and pleasant. We will return.
I'm sad that this adventure is over, but in the coming days, I will upload the slides from my presentation, and when the video is published, I'll share the link.
Because 'I solve problems' 😆

Great. My openbsd hosted website achieves good result when checking carbon footprint 👍🏻 #EBC24 #runbsd @OpenBSDAms

Henning said we should sleep at least 6 hours, but I can manage with only 4. Then I need 8 more hours at night.
