Have you registered for BSDCan yet? I finally got around to it myself a day or so ago ;) I really like to chat with Open/Net etc. BSD folks as well as Free since I'm a BSD Agnostic!

Full disclosure yes I am on the Committee but don't hold it against me.

Announcing the BSD Cafe Billboard

Today, we're introducing three things. The first one is a forum. A real forum - with categories, threads, and actual conversations that don't disappear in a timeline after six minutes. The second is a Fediverse platform. Fully federated, ActivityPub-native. Your posts go out, the world's posts come in. No walled gardens, no algorithms, no tricks. The third is a Bar. A place to sit down, talk to strangers who happen to care about the same weird things you do, and stay as long as you […]

πŸ”” Big news from the BSD world!

FreeBSD and DragonFly BSD are reuniting!

The new unified system will be called FreeBSDragon β€” and the first release (FreeBSDragon-1.0) is planned before the end of 2026!

The new combined mascot artwork is almost ready and looks absolutely awesome ❀️

I’m Just the Barista

The spirit of the BSD Cafe is to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it. I am just the Barista. I can't solve the world's problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good BSD coffee, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing. We need more bars and fewer shopping malls.

  • source start

println("random bytes δ½ ε₯½! μ•ˆλ…•ν•˜μ„Έμš”")

  • EOF

===== Explanation of bytes =====

  • δ½ ε₯½ = Nǐ hǎo (Mandarin)
  • μ•ˆλ…•ν•˜μ„Έμš” = annyeonghaseyo (Korean)
  • jl = Julia (programming) language

Z = EOF (end of file)

Note1
Sources like this are simple to write. Whether you run any of the BSD families of OS, any Linux flavour based on Debian rpm src c and more (even one of the Closed Source OS) you can write code in goLang
All you need in the super basics is vi sh and common logic
I use

vim.motif
bash [80x25]

running on a ARM architecture SBC Pi5

Note2
In case you don't see the Korean fonts rendered properly, you need to install the locale for that language. This is an example for debian Linux distros

sudo apt-get install language-pack-ko
sudo apt-get install korean*
sudo apt-get install fonts-arphic-ukai fonts-arphic-uming fonts-ipafont-mincho fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-unfonts-core

For SBC Raspberry Pi5 the sequence is different. Please use pi-packages for an easy way to choose Korean fonts and localE

@as400 cpdup is another option, comparable to rsnapshot (faster in my experiments), if your needs are simple (no encryption). upstream is within #dragonflybsd

New #blog post alert!

I muse about research some of my grad students and I did around independently evaluating some #OpenBSD anti-ROP mitigations, and I bid farewell to being an OpenBSD developer.

BSD Conference in NL

On Saturday, 9th of May, there is the Spring edition of BSD-NL  Our lovely BSD conference, held in the Netherlands. Or more specifically, in Utrecht - which is the centre of our little country.

Do you use the BSDs in any way - whether personally, professionally? Everyone with even the slightest interest into the BSDs is welcome, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned maintainer/contributor  There will be a couple of talks/presentations, plenty of room and time to hack - and to socialize if that is your thing  

So: grab a ticket, join the awesomeness: BSDNL.nl  And follow @bsd_nl
