bsd.network is now live!

I have pre-reserved the names for the projects, and a few others. If you would like to take control of those, please email the admins so we can ensure the proper people have them.

For people trying to boost this toot, please note the posting date. This was at server launch, and is not applicable now.

We do not yet have the Edit button, so I cannot add this warning there.

@phessler I'm planning to set up my own instance, so I can write #MastoMastery in 2018.

My paranoid voice says "grab @[email protected] before someone spoofs being you!" Also, life might intervene and keep me from doing it.

But that strikes me as a jerk move: I'm not using it but you can't have it, neener neener!

Or I could be a jerk and grab @mwl@ for the explicit purpose of annoying M Warner Losh, as I did with mwl.io.😀

@mwlucas it wasn't *that* difficult to get it running, but there are some funky quirks.

I'm happy to talk about this offline.

@phessler So, might you be willing to tech review #mastomastery?
Show threadpeter hessler @openbsdJan 2, 2018
@mwlucas modulo the usual constraints on time, yes

@phessler BTW, I tried to register and got:

We're sorry, but something went wrong on our end

@mwlucas oups, missed a setting in opening up the registrations. gefixt.
Show threadMichael W Lucas, authorJan 2, 2018
@phessler waiting for my confirmation email. And as you're kind enough to run a BSD instance, I'll be happy to point out every little mistake I find. Purely as a favor to you, of course.

@phessler Also, your front page needs art of Puffy & Beastie with tusks. OBVIOUSLY.

@phessler Hi, welcome here, if your instance is on #OpenBSD perhaps you can help @lanargeek!

Show threadpeter hessler @openbsdJan 3, 2018
@surveyor yes, the instance is running on #OpenBSD specifically.

@phessler what's the target audience for bsd.network? Devs? Contributors? Fans?
Show threadTristan B. KildaireJan 3, 2018
@worr @phessler from a name like that I'd assume all BSD peoples are related

@phessler I would definitely be interested in moving my tech stuff over to a bsd flavored instance.
Show threadMichael W Lucas, authorJan 1, 2018

@phessler Excellent!

I assume you're protecting data integrity with ZFS. ;-)

@mwlucas lulz
Show threadMichael W Lucas, authorJan 1, 2018
@phessler lulz are the most reliable data protection method known to sysadmin. You're gonna need a LOT of them to handle the BSD crowd, though.
Show threadpeter hessler @openbsdJan 1, 2018
@mwlucas you've met me, right?
Show threadMichael W Lucas, authorJan 1, 2018
@phessler I used to think so, but thinking about it, convincing me I'd met you would be good for a lot of lulz
Show threadDavidJan 1, 2018
@phessler neat! I bet #sdf and your instance are going to have very similar public timelines soon.

@phessler neat! I’ll have to find another use for bsd.social :-)
