Good evening, friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse.

It's been an incredibly busy day, just finished a condo meeting, and now I'm having dinner and feeling exhausted 😪

I also conducted initial tests of #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD on the #MacBook Pro Retina 2013 that I recovered from the office, but unfortunately, both OSs aren't detecting the wifi after boot. I'll work on it in the coming days, as time permits.

Tonight, heavy rain is expected, which should bring some relief and make sleeping more comfortable.

Tomorrow, I'll continue with the data center migration and perform some tasks on bsd.cafe.

Good morning, friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse!

Today, I have a very busy day ahead, but I'm still trying to finalize the first draft of the static website for the domain "https://bsd.cafe," which currently redirects to this Mastodon instance.

It will be a brief introduction to the project and will include links to all the services we want to feature in our Cafe.

Have a great #Friday!

@herrbischoff thank you for sharing from experience.

At the moment, it's running Monterey via #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher - it's ok, but I want to see the status of the #BSDs support

With #BSD, there's no silly info pages or html help (at least as a primary source of documentation). There's just REALLY good manpages, especially on OpenBSD. FreeBSD comes with (or it might be an optional install) their excellent handbook as a PDF you can peruse at your leisure. Again, NetBSD I have the least knowledge of.

My experience with the big three #BSDs:

Good morning, #BSDcafe and #Fediverse friends! ☀️🌱 Had some early morning hiccups and ended up rushing out in my car, practically in my PJs! 🚗 The day started on the go, but I hope it calms down, hour by hour. 🤞

Yesterday, I added the three bots (#FreeBSD VuXML, FreeBSD Security and Errata, and #NetBSD Security) and kicked off a survey about #BSD systems (which I'll be boosting daily). 🤖📊 Many have already voted and shared their stories, making it a fascinating collective experience. There are all sorts of tales about how and why people started using a *BSD system. 📚🔍

The strength of Fediverse lies in ordinary folks sharing their common experiences without any algorithmic bias, unlike those catering to the usual VIPs. ✨👥 Wishing everyone a fantastic day ahead! Keep the positivity flowing! 😊💫

Good morning, #BSDcafe!

Yesterday, we reached 32 members, and I added the OpenBSD journal bot, which is gaining some traction. ( @openbsdjournal )

Today, I'll do some final touches, but won't have much time for BSD.cafe due to family duties.

Later tonight or tomorrow, I'll create a couple more bots and other exciting surprises.

I'll soon write about the architecture of bsd.cafe.

Stay tuned, and have a lovely Sunday! 😊🌟

It's time for an #introduction.

I'm glad to meet you! I'm the main administrator of the bsd.cafe instance (and other projects), a computer science graduate who's been fascinated by technology since childhood. I'm a big supporter of open-source solutions and enjoy working with #BSDs and #Linux systems. I enjoy #music and #photography. I've been an avid traveler and am now looking forward to getting back to traveling.I'm married to a wonderful wife and strive to live each day with a positive attitude,making the most of every day to improve our lives.

I like writing blog articles, especially tech ones (https://it-notes.dragas.net) and, from time to time, some of them are widely appreciated, especially in the open-source community.

Thank you for passing by and reading my introduction, enjoy your stay here in the #fediverse

My new project is almost ready and will be free for our great community.

@josephholsten a proper reminder why today we have the #BSDs and #Linux - this whole UNIX ownership thing is so annoying

@ablackcatstail @scrottie

Like a lot of the #BSDs, it's kind of a love-or-hate affair, I take it.

I've heard several people praise it for various reasons, and some criticize it for being too difficult to get going.

If #OpenBSD ends up being the easiest to use and most compatible of them all, I'd be surprised and impressed. But it looks like it may.

Dear #FreeBSD devs,

Respectfully,

DOG-FOOD YOUR SHIZ.

Thank you kindly.

I backed up all my files.
I made USB boot disks of various #BSDs.
I made a clonezilla clone of the entire disk.
I booted into the #FreeBSD disk and was about to wipe out #OpenBSD.
At the last minute, I decided to go through pt.4 of @rootbsd's OpenBSD setup video to see if I could squeeze any more performance out of it.
No better, as far as I could tell.
I went through OpenBSD Guy's (YT) OpenBSD performance video.
Still 25+ seconds to open up Firefox. :'(
But...

...

After more than a full week of testing, I can say that my migration from #Proxmox to #FreeBSD has been successful. I will be writing my article about it as soon as possible, before the memory fades. #tech #migration #success #article #zfs #linux #BSDs #bsd
