Key message of the day. A client, a few months back, whom I convinced to try FreeBSD on one of their servers.
They have a new project to launch and just messaged me: "The Dev has been working with Docker. Help him migrate out of Docker and set everything up on FreeBSD jails for production."
Moments of fulfillment.

We should lift our eyes from monitors and smartphones more often. We should observe what the world shows us more frequently. The most beautiful colors our eyes will see are not on an OLED screen, but where there is life.

It's official: the new email hosting service I'll be launching will run on OpenBSD as well. The two OpenSMTPD SMTP servers will operate on two OpenBSD installations.

Evening is descending upon Mantova, Italy.
Like every day for the past 2000 years, the city is preparing to slumber.
The last rays of the sun are casting their final glow upon the tranquil waters, which flow with a soothing, melodic murmur.
And I ponder how many things, people, and events those waters have mirrored. A new morning will arrive, bathing those ancient bricks in fresh light, just as it has for the last 2000 years.

On traditional social media, many people respond hoping to go 'viral', post for likes, or aim to become influencers. Often, they just try to conform, not truly expressing who they are or what they think.
This is why I appreciate the Fediverse: here, people express themselves genuinely, without the pursuit of viral fame or dreams of becoming millionaire influencers.
In the Fediverse, people seek meaningful dialogue. This genuine expression and desire for real conversations is what has long been missing in the sea of users on traditional social platforms.

"It’s not Covid
There’s no way it’s Covid
It was Covid"
Two weeks ago, I started feeling unwell with a fever that lasted only two days, but it left me with some cough, weakness, and light-headedness. It took me a long time to recover.
A few days later, my wife went through the same process but still has a lot of cold symptoms.
Both of us were recently vaccinated, and the doctor diagnosed viral laryngitis, sparing us the swab as it was 'unlikely' to be Covid (we had no contacts, didn't attend events, etc.).
Yesterday, seeing her persistent intense cold (and my light-headedness, among other signs), my wife decided to take a swab test: positive.
We still wonder how it was possible, but it turned out to be Covid. Our first infection after almost 4 years.
We've had worse flus in our lives, but I don't recall this feeling of light-headedness before.

Today, I had a work meeting with a young but eager fellow. We had a chat, I explained a few things, and he agreed with the technical choices I suggested. However, the issue arose when I mentioned writing a few lines of a "tutorial" on how to do certain things. His response: "Can't you make a video?" Surprised (but not too much), I argued that in my opinion, a concise written tutorial is more practical than a pointless video. His reply: "We only watch videos now, even my colleagues look up solutions on YouTube." This is despite the wealth of excellent tutorials on StackExchange and various blogs. I wonder: why waste half an hour watching a video that could be summarized in a few lines of text (saving time for both the producer and the user)?

Good morning, world!

Going to try #GrapheneOS on my #Google #Pixel7 - I'm curious.
A log. But not a file.
Always stay strong, even when the waves of life crash upon you.

Good morning world! It's Saturday morning, I have a bit of a headache, and a lot of things I want to get done. I'll be sharing soon about an old project that's evolving into a new one.
I'm just trying to figure out how to handle the final structure, but like the old one, it will primarily be based on FreeBSD. Stay tuned!

While in a waiting room, I'm adapting the "Make your own VPN - Wireguard, ipv6 and ad-blocking included" article to FreeBSD. I'm going by heart, so I'll surely have to double test everything before publishing it.
I'm still undecided. Holding both the iPhone and the Galaxy S23 Ultra, I can't determine which one I prefer. The iPhone feels smoother, while the Samsung is more customizable. I can't tell if it's just habit or if there's something else at play...

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!
