Hi thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm Justine I'm a marine electronics engineer to trade which basically means I install / repair anything on a vessel from satellite internet and sat TV to autopilots, radars, VHFs and navigational equipment. Other than that I've been a #Linux user since around 2000 and even worked on the distro LRs Linux that basically compiled from scratch according to the users hardware and was LFS based. My current daily driver is #ChimeraLinux and my WM of choice is #RiverWm
I am currently migrating my #homelab from #Ubuntu to #FreeBSD.

OK folk answer me this. Why as a constant #Linux user since the early 90's do I keep leaning towards #BSD ? Yeah I'm going to use it on my homelab but i keep yearning for it to be my daily driver too. Is it an age thing and if so does this happen to most Linux users in later life ? I feel like Eve wanting to taste the forbidden fruit if that makes any sense at all ? 😂

Now that it appears my move to BSD.cafe is complete, I believe it’s time for a #introduction.
First, I want to say how great it is to be part of the BSD.cafe community. I’m thrilled that this instance exists and is thriving.
I’m Blake, a Systems Administrator with a knack for #networks and #DevOps. Currently, I work in the insurance sector, focusing on #technology solutions for agricultural businesses. I have extensive experience with #Linux, #AWS, #Azure, and a variety of network solutions, from Fortigate (#FortiOS) to Netgate (#pfSense). I consider myself a big-picture solver, dedicated to enhancing infrastructure efficiency and security.
I’ve been using Linux daily since the late 2000s, when our family’s Windows XP machine gave out and I got my hands on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Since then, I’ve experimented with everything from Arch Linux to Void Linux. Recently, I’ve started exploring #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD, and I’m truly enjoying the fresh experience they offer.
When I’m not immersed in technology, you’ll find me participating in ultra-endurance #cycling events or tinkering with my #homelab. I’m committed to continuous learning and love sharing insights on cutting-edge network and server technologies. I also enjoy exploring how technology intersects with everyday life.
One of these days, I plan to create a proper blog site to share my thoughts and experiences.
I look forward to connecting with fellow tech enthusiasts and homelabbers!
I've never done an #introduction post because I'm too shy and introverted, but here goes me trying to be more open. I might delete later if I get too freaked out.
I'm Dan a 40ish white millennial living in unceded Kaurna Yerta.
I am interested in #linux and open source, my day job is a #sysadmin and #python Dev, because small companies can't afford one of each.
When not working or taking my 8 year old to the many dance classes and SANFL junior matches I like to add to my vegetable #garden and play as many #videogames as I can get running on Linux. I also taught myself #knitting but my ADHD probably means I will have a lot of unfinished bits I'm working on.
My wife and I were #anime weebs before we knew weeb was a term, having watched Akira and Fist of the North Star on VHS as our second date in 1998. We also love visiting Japan and eating all of the Asian food.
I sometimes make it to conventions, though I won't make #pyconau this year I hope to get to #everythingopen next year. If you see me come and say hello because I will probably be too shy to say hi to you.
After my having 3 Sinclair computers, I moved on to Atari ST, for a week... before I switched it for an Amiga. At the time, Atari and Amiga were the big names in home computing, while those with more funds might have gone with a Mac or a PC.
What did you use?
#Computer #Atari #Amiga #RetroGaming #Linux
I wrote a small script to generate (random) private IPv6 network address.
I'm not sure if it will be useful to anyone. I use it in many places, like generating Wireguard private addresses or in network testing environments.
As I'm slowly migrating to Codeberg, I decided to share this. It should work on FreeBSD, Linux and MacOS.
