Recently got a cheap 128 GB SSD to see how BSD would run on my main machine, and this weekend threw FreeBSD on it. I'm sending this toot from the working system, and aside from the general configuration joy of being an Unix nerd, finding almost everything I need to know in the FreeBSD Handbook is a great perk on the second joy: reading docs and being able to flow acting on them.

Thanks to the #FreeBSD Handbook on Ports and the following page, I finally got around to building the drm-kmod port and dependencies so that amdgpu runs properly on 14.2.

Hello Fediverse! It's time for a new instance #introduction, having recently migrated to BSD.Cafe from hachyderm.io.

The neurosurgeons said I wouldn't wake up from the coma, but they were wrong.
Then they said I'd never walk or talk again, but they were wrong.

I never expected to reach forty, and so often now I wonder, "how long will the 🧠 tumor let me live?"

Professionally, I'm a Principal Systems Architect focused on performance engineering for "global edge compute" workloads. This year marks two ticks from having worked for a quarter-century in the tech industry. 💾 :sparc64: 🥰

Personally, my interests range from backcountry telemark skiing and long-range marksmanship in the wilderness, to berries and bunnies and everything in-between as long as it's cute and pink and sweet and made of hearts! 💗

Exquisite.social is a delightful and innocuous generic Glitch Mastodon server, with a slight focus on technology, privacy and *BSD. We are here to play and make friends in a supportive atmosphere:

Though they've been gone for several years now, within the walls of my grandparents' house, I could still sense their presence, hear their voices, and smell their familiar scents. Closing the door for the last time today marked more than just an end to my visits—it symbolized the closure of my childhood and adolescence. It's an incredibly sad day for me. Yet, in this moment of reflection, I'm reminded that the sun will rise again tomorrow. Life, in all its facets, continues to move forward. This includes the BSD-based mail system I've been diligently working on, which is nearing a significant milestone.

"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

Weekly BSD Pub

*BSD friends, just remember that on Thursday there'll be the first Weekly BSD Pub virtual meeting, organized by @gyptazy

Damn I like the whole css-or-bust approach to styling that #snac has. I mean I know many (most?) others do a bit of the same but this is just delightful.

So..TLS aside, what is the most lightweight reverse proxy I can use instead of nginx in front of this thing? You know, in case I would like to move the instance from this beefy PPro to, say, a #486 or a #Nintendo Wii running #NetBSD? :)
