New BSD Cafe Service: ntfy Server at BSD Cafe
BSD Cafe now offers an ntfy server for self-hosted push notifications. Use it with Mastodon, Matrix, or any UnifiedPush-compatible service to keep your notifications private - no data passes through Google servers. Available to everyone.

I've fixed a problem with #brew and ipv6, when connecting via SSH. The jail was correctly listening on ipv6 but there's a catch: the brew.bsd.cafe AAAA record points to the nginx reverse proxy, which has another public ipv6 address. I've fixed it with a rdr rule, redirecting port 2222 to the correct ipv6 address.
The next BSD Cafe service will be announced tomorrow morning, with a post on the Journal.
Stay tuned!
I believe that to announce the next BSD Cafe service, I'll write a post on the BSD Cafe Journal.
It seems appropriate and will give me a chance to explain some useful things.
Stay tuned.
Good morning, #BSDCafe

Out of my window just...fog!

Dear Fediverse, in light of recent Nobel drama, I’d like to make this clear publicly: I’m officially announcing my candidacy for the Nobel Prize in Barista.
I am planning to build a #NAS using #FREEBSD as the operating system to replace my current #TRUENAS Core and looking for power-efficient hardware compatible with it. Would anyone have any recommendations? A main board with multiple SATA connections is preferred due to their flexibility. Thanks in advance for the suggestions. #bsdcafe

Today's task is to find a new solution using old tech but with a fresh approach. I'm sure it'll start with excitement, then move on to frustration, stress, and total hatred for the technology. Eventually, I'll have a great idea that turns out to be a dead end. You know, just another day.
For example: The blinking you're seeing is due to the replication of the BSD Cafe's media, which happens almost in real-time thanks to SeaweedFS, via VPN. And yes, all that excites me.
Good morning, #BSDCafe

The week has already started in a hectic way, but I'm ready!
I wish you all a good week, and hope that everything always goes well.

My friends, I'm so excited and happy to introduce a new project: the illumos Cafe!
The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.
Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.
So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.
I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/
Choose your table, take a seat and enjoy your time at the illumos Cafe!

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago. Over time, several people have suggested it. But until recently, I felt the timing just wasn’t right — for many reasons. Today, I believe it finally is.
So I’m happy to announce a new service: The BSD Cafe Journal.
At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.
The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles — a place to inform and connect.
Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafés to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed — all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.
The guiding principles are the same as always: positivity, constructive discussion, promoting BSDs and open source in general.
The platform I’ve chosen is WordPress, for several reasons:
This means every author will have their own identity in the Fediverse and can be followed directly, and it’ll also be possible to follow the whole Journal.
Original and educational content is encouraged, but it’s also perfectly fine to link to existing articles elsewhere. Personally, I’ll link my technical posts from ITNotes whenever I publish them there.
The goal is simple: a news-oriented site, rich in content, ad-free, respectful of privacy — all under the BSD Cafe umbrella.
Content coordination will happen in a dedicated Matrix room for authors. There’ll also be a public room for discussing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing suggestions.
Of course, I can’t do this alone. A journal with no content is just an empty shell.
So here’s my call to action:
Who’s ready to lend a hand? If you enjoy writing, explaining, sharing your knowledge — the Journal is waiting for you!
This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.
I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.
So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

I want to launch a hashtag where, every Tuesday, I'll post a message and it would be great if it became a habit for many.
In a world full of conflicts, selfishness, and egocentrism, it would be nice to focus on the good that others do, what makes our lives better thanks to the contribution of others.
My first #ThankYouTuesday to the friends of #BSDCafe - both within the community servers and beyond - who have undoubtedly contributed to making my life better, more stimulating, and richer. So, I extend this gratitude to all those who, here in the fediverse or elsewhere, are present and positive, giving me inspiration and motivation.
Truly, thank you!
