Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, today I drove for hours in terrible weather, but I managed to upgrade three #Proxmox servers from version 6 to 8. Tomorrow, I'll set up two new #FreeBSD servers, and on one, I'll run some tests with #cbsd for VM management. Right now, I'm so exhausted, I dream only of hitting the bed (after an episode of #TheOffice, of course). By the way, the place I visited today felt like The Office set, with some people eerily resembling its characters. The only catch? There was a Creed-like figure too! #ServerUpdates #TechLife

Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, today is going to be a very long day, with hours of driving in bad weather and a series of updates on various #Proxmox servers. I'll also be adding a couple of physical #FreeBSD servers to the setup, which I'm sure will be appreciated, so I'm feeling very positive. Here we go! #tech #sysadmin #serverupdates #positivity

Just another episode of #TheOffice, and then off to bed. Today, I conducted more experiments with SeaweedFS and rclone. I've discovered some interesting uses that I plan to delve into in the coming days. Tiered storage can be beneficial for certain organizations with specific needs. Testing will be necessary. Officially, mounting on #FreeBSD should work, but in practice, it claims not to be supported. Tomorrow, I'll reach out to the developer, who is usually very kind and helpful. #Tech #Storage #Experiments

Today, I'm going to perform some tests with #SeaweedFS. I've been testing it years ago and it was fine, but not for my use case. Now I want to see how it evolved and could implement it. I'll try both on #Linux and #FreeBSD. Stay tuned!

Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, I had a few minutes and updated the Wiki page about the technical choices made for the BSD Cafe services (

BSD Cafe - Technical Details [BSD Cafe Wiki]

As I mentioned before, I'd love to introduce more BSDs into the setup, either replacing or adding. In the coming days, time permitting, I'll evaluate this further. In the meantime, the poll on Matrix software has concluded, and the majority of you suggested Synapse. I'm considering setting up a Matrix server for the BSD Cafe, and given the recommendations, I'll likely use Synapse. However, I'll first try it out on some test domains as I'm inexperienced in managing a Matrix server. Stay tuned! #BSD #opensource #techupdate #Matrix #Synapse #technews #BSDCafeUpdates #BSDCafeServices #SysAdmin

I was looking for some hardware to do a test with #Xen on #FreeBSD and #NetBSD. I found some unused stuff, but all of them want to boot with #UEFI, which is not supported on either FreeBSD or NetBSD. Oh well, the search continues...

#ReiserFS Officially Declared "Obsolete' https://www.phoronix.com/news/ReiserFS-Obsolete I remember having dinner with Hans Reiser about twenty years ago, and it was quite pleasant. He made a great impression on me... until he killed his wife...

Some minutes ago, my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. I immediately thought it might be a spam call, but I answered anyway. A voice of a young boy said, "Hi! My name is *NAME* and I want to be your energy consultant." Without hesitation, I replied, "Hi! My name's Guybrush Threepwood, and I want to be a pirate!" He seemed a bit bewildered for a moment, then responded, "I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me." He didn't become my energy consultant, but we had a pleasant chat about old graphic adventures, and perhaps I have a new friend. #OldAdventures #MonkeyIsland #FunSpamCalls

Good morning, #world! The air is fresh and the sun is rising. Let's hope this will be a good day. Meanwhile, this is what I'm listening to while moving. Have a nice day! #JukeBox #MastoRadio #MastoMusic #SoundTrack #SoundTrackOfTheDay

Goodnight, #world!
