This week in a nutshell: a series of Windows VPS migrated from Proxmox to FreeBSD, a new OpenBSD installation, and a NetBSD-based tutorial in the works. A series of FreeBSD jail migrations between various servers (some optimizations, others upgrades). A long-awaited reply that still hasn't arrived. The video of my interview, however, has arrived. A surprise article (which won't appear on my blog but in a much more important place for our BSD community) has almost been finished. Some new and old friends have joined the BSD Cafe.
A Pixel 9 Pro XL with GrapheneOS has become (to my great satisfaction) my daily driver – and I must thank the post https://exquisite.social/@h3artbl33d/113437597486377905 by @h3artbl33d for reigniting my interest in making it my daily driver. Yesterday, I also got a smartwatch fully supported by Gadgetbridge (thanks for this great piece of software, @gadgetbridge )so I no longer have to send my personal data around. And once again, thanks to the friends on the Fediverse (I won’t list them all) for the interesting list of suggestions that came from this post: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/113474709502407272.
Some photos, lots of bureaucracy, almost enough sleep. Now it's Friday night, and the next step is to head to bed. I’ll configure Gadgetbridge more thoroughly while my wife starts dozing off before deciding what to watch, so I’ll probably end up watching something on my own.
Meanwhile, as often happens whenever she sees me a little tired or a bit demoralized, she quietly pulled out and hung up what’s in the photo, next to my bed station, to remind me of the positivity and joy of those days.
Happy Friday, friends of the BSD Cafe and the entire Fediverse. Have a great weekend!

I'm pleased to announce that my company, Prodottoinrete Group SRL, will be a BRONZE SPONSOR of EuroBSDCon 2025.
The organizers do a great job managing everything, and the least we can do is offer a (small) contribution to help the conference maintain the current standards, which, in my opinion, are extremely high.
So, a big thank you to the organizers, the speakers, and everyone who contributes to making this event so great.

"Where have you been for the last 20 years?" - The question that changed everything. This isn't a BSDCan report, but a personal reflection on how impostor syndrome stole decades from me, and why it's never too late to find your community and live life fully.

Dear friends of the #BSDCafe
Exactly two years ago, on 20th July 2023, I made a post announcing a new project: The BSD Cafe.
It was an idea I had been thinking about for a while, but never had the courage to truly take on. Yet, in those days, I pushed past my doubts, finalized the last bits of the setup, and decided to go public.
I never imagined the warmth, the kindness, the support I would receive. Friends started signing up, new friends arrived, and two years later I can proudly say that the community we’ve built is truly amazing.
The BSDs as our guiding star, technology as our shared passion, and - above all - acceptance and open-mindedness as our core values.
Supporters, not haters.
I’m genuinely happy about all this, and in my upcoming talk at #EuroBSDCon I’ll be sharing both technical and human sides of this experience.
Happy birthday, BSD Cafe. And thank you all, my friends, for making this such a wonderful journey.
The Cafe is always open. The coffee machine is always warm.
Your Barista,
Stefano
