In the past few weeks, I've been reflecting on the current infrastructure behind the BSD Cafe. I'm satisfied with it, and it's stable (all services are accessible via IPv6, etc.), but in the original vision of my project, there were some different choices that I haven't implemented yet to maintain consistency with the available hardware.

Therefore, there will be some underlying changes (some already in testing), which I will obviously share both here and on the related wiki page (currently a bit outdated compared to the current setup).
You won't see anything "at a glance" (the best technical changes are those that aren't immediately visible), but I believe they will be appreciated.

Stay tuned!

Dear friends of #BSDCafe,

It’s time to upgrade Mastodon to v4.3.0.

I’m still unsure when I’ll be able to do it, as I want to ensure I have enough free time to manage any potential issues. I’ll perform a full PostgreSQL dump, take a complete snapshot of all the jails, and document the progress - should any issues arise - on the BSD Cafe Status page (https://status.bsd.cafe).

I expect to proceed by the end of the week. I apologize for not being able to provide much advance notice, but I’ll do my best to give at least half a day's notice.

Snac2 is an excellent software solution for accessing the Fediverse. It is lightweight, very easy to compile and install, has minimal dependencies, and the development is progressing along a clear, clean, and logical path - thank you, @grunfink

Since last December, BSD Cafe has had, among its services, a snac instance - https://snac.bsd.cafe - which has been used sparingly, mainly by some for testing purposes. I’ve kept it as a 'testing' option.

In light of the interest it is generating (we now have stable users) and given that development is evolving to allow for both inbound and outbound movement, I have decided to designate it as a stable solution for accessing the Fediverse and to consider it a primary service of the BSD Cafe.

It has always received the utmost attention, I have consistently updated it promptly, and it has always been accessible, but I have also modified all the descriptions to clarify that it is a stable and definitive solution.

For more information, there is always a dedicated page on our wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Stay Tuned!
