The image shows two clear plastic bags containing multiple stickers. The stickers feature a cartoon character with red devil-like horns, a friendly smile, and a black coffee cup with steam rising from it. Below the character, the text reads "BSD CAFE" with binary numbers "1" and "0" on either side. The character and design blend tech and café themes, representing the BSD Cafe community.

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.

<p>I’m thrilled to share my excitement for EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb! After an incredible experience last year and at BSDCan, I can’t wait to reconnect with the amazing BSD and open-source community. This year, Jeroen and I are even presenting our talk, “Liberating the social web using *BSD”. Come join us!</p>

Yesterday, the schedule for the next EuroBSDCon, which will be held in Zagreb, Croatia, from 25 to 28 September 2025, was published.

Last year I attended EuroBSDCon and it was a fantastic experience. I enjoyed every single moment, and connecting with the people who conceive, develop, disseminate, and are passionate about *BSD and the open-source world was an unforgettable experience. I flooded the Venue with BSD Cafe stickers and attended some incredibly interesting presentations. I wrote about it in an article for the FreeBSD Journal, where I tried, as much as possible, to convey the positivity I felt at the event.

Such a positive experience pushed me, a few months later, to propose a talk for BSDCan as well – an incredible experience itself, which I will write about in more detail later.

Reading this year’s program, I see a problem that I also had to face last year and last month at BSDCan: there are so many interesting presentations that they will overlap. Fortunately, the video team will provide live streams and recordings of the individual talks, allowing us to watch the presentations even if delayed.

In Zagreb, Jeroen ( @h3artbl33d – admin of Exquisite.social) and I will present “Liberating the social web using *BSD” – a 90 minutes presentation where we will talk about our experiences with Exquisite and BSD Cafe – delving into both technical and human details – an incredible experience from both points of view.

I suggest taking a look at the program and, if possible, participating. I can assure you it’s definitely worth it.

"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
