¡Estoy aprendiendo un montón en este hilo!

No pillo lo de la «imperial de Sagres». Sé que es una marca de cerveza y una ciudad del sur. ¿Te refieres a pedirla en Oporto?

Respecto al galão, ni idea. Lo he visto, pero nunca he tomado ninguno ni sé cuál es la proporción adecuada (tampoco estoy seguro de que me gustase).

Si es en Portugal, se pide una «bica», y te ponen el café más minúsculo y más riquísimo que hay en el mundo.

For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to thank the people who still know how to listen to others. Those who don't always put themselves at the center of the universe, but can also understand others. Those who strive to be well and make others well, not constantly fighting to prevail, dominate, outdo, or crush.
My gratitude today goes to these increasingly rare individuals.

I've decided it's time to push forward with BSD Mail. I won't have time soon to set up e-commerce, automated payments, etc., so I'll launch a website where I'll explain services and technical details, prices (which I still need to define), and we'll manage things manually for now.
I don't expect overwhelming numbers, so the rest will come later.
Ultimately, what matters is making everything work well.

«El burdégano, también conocido como macho romo o burreño​, es el animal híbrido resultante del cruce entre un caballo (Equus ferus caballus) y una burra (Equus africanus asinus). La mula es el resultado del cruce entre un burro y una yegua. Se producen en menor cantidad que las mulas, pues es más fácil combinar burros con yeguas que viceversa, ya que conseguir el embarazo en una burra es más difícil (una de cada siete burras puede concebir al ser cubierta por un caballo).»

- León + Tigresa = Ligre
- Tigre + Leona = Tigón
- Burro + Yegua = Mulo
- Caballo + Burra = Burdégano

In the Mastodon case, thousands of servers will hammer your site almost at the same exact time. Not people interested in what you may say at slightly different paces. Just automatic, powerful machines from all over the world. This is very similar to a DDoS.

You will not only suffer when you post a very remarkable or clickbaity link. You'll suffer everytime, even if no real human reach your site.

**BSD Mail Project Update!**

Hello everyone! I wanted to share some exciting updates about the development of BSD Mail, our privacy-focused email service designed with robustness, security, and transparency in mind. Here’s a deep dive into the technical choices I've made, focusing on my use of open source solutions and open protocols:

🌍 **Servers & Location**

- We're running on two physical servers:
- One hosted by OVH in France
- Another by Hetzner in Germany
- Both servers operate on FreeBSD with NVMe drives in a ZFS mirror configuration for speed and data integrity.

🔒 **Virtualization & Security**

- We utilize jails on both servers to ensure isolated environments for different services, managed via BastilleBSD. On one server, jails are set up directly on the hardware, whereas the other server employs nested jails.
- Each server hosts a bhyve VM running OpenBSD with OpenSMTPD for handling SMTP duties securely.

🔗 **Networking**

- A Wireguard setup connects the two servers, facilitating routing capabilities so that jails and VMs can communicate seamlessly, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.

📧 **Email Services**

- **Dovecot** is configured for maildir replication across the servers using Dovecot sync, ensuring email availability and redundancy.
- **Rspamd** instances are tied to local KeyDB jails, set up in master-master replication for consistent and reliable spam detection and greylisting.
- **ClamAV** runs in corresponding jails for virus scanning, maintaining a high level of security.
- **SOGo** provides a web interface for email management, connected to MySQL databases in master-master replication to handle sessions and authentication smoothly.

💾 **Data Management**

- Email data is stored on separate, encrypted ZFS datasets to secure emails at rest.
- MySQL databases are used for storing credentials and managing sessions for SOGo, also in a master-master replication setup. Importantly, all passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt, ensuring they are salted and safe.

🔎 **Monitoring & Reliability**

- Our DNS is managed through BunnyNet, which continuously monitors our server status. Should one server—or a specific service—become unavailable, DNS configurations are dynamically adjusted to avoid directing users to the affected IP until full service is restored.

🌐 **Commitment to Open Source and Open Protocols**

- Every component of BSD Mail is built exclusively using open source software and open protocols. This commitment is crucial for ensuring data freedom and the reliability of the solutions we use.

This setup not only emphasizes our commitment to privacy and security but also our dedication to maintaining an open and transparent platform.
We're excited to bring you a service where your privacy, data integrity, and freedom are prioritized. Stay tuned for more updates!

A vibrant garden teeming with a spectrum of flowers ranging from purple and blue to fiery orange and bright yellow, nestled among lush greenery under a soft sunlight. The array of blooms creates a visual feast, encapsulating the sheer beauty and diversity of nature.

TIL: When you use #codeberg and/or #forgejo, you can pimp your profile page by creating a repository called .profile (the dot is important) with a single file called README.md in it. Once done, the Markdown in said file will be shown as default content on your profile page. This is going to be fun! https://codeberg.org/jwildeboer

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.

He goes, "Argh, what is it?" 3. Panel: He leans over to the screen that the ping came from and just clicks "accept". he says, "Yeah, sweety, whatever, here you go." 4. Panel: Kelly is riding a giant cat that is destroying an entire city"

logging into things has become such a nightmare, why oh why did we popularize the notion that you need 2 computers to login to something? this is the extent that the capitalist mind worm has burrowed deep enough into programmers subconscious

Every time I have a programming question and I rly need help, I post it on Reddit and then log into an- other account and reply to it with an obscenely in- correct answer. Ppl don't care about helping others but they LOVE correcting others. Works 100% of the time

- El agua con gas. Con limón es refrescante y está buena. Igual cuesta acostumbrarse.
- La tónica. Es verdad que tiene mucho azúcar, pero si cambias el ritmo y la bebes muy despacio, te toman solo una mientras los colegas se zampan tres birras.
- El bitter sin alcohol. También tiene mucho azúcar, en lo demás, como lo que te he dicho de la tónica.
- Un zumo de tomate. Está muy bueno y se deja tomar despacio. Además, es mucho más saciante que ninguna otra cosa, así que te anima a tomártelo con calma y a comer menos papas alioli.
- Un café solo con hielo. Nunca llegué a acostumbrarme, pero hay quien se apaña bien tomando eso. Lo puedes pedir descafeinado si te acelera demasiado.

Yo odio las cocacolas y las fantas y toda esa mierda que sabe a medicina, aún sin azúcar, así que para mí nunca han sido una opción.
