And done. Happy Tooting, happy slacking and happy hacking.

Stay Exquisite 

Rumor has it that @h3artbl33d is grabbing his ThinkPad now to update this small and exquisite instance to v4.5.8. We might have a few mins of downtime. Sorry everyone!

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  

#BSDNL #BSD #RUNBSD #OpenBSD #HardenedBSD #SecBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #DragonflyBSD #GhostBSD #EvenMyMotherRunsBSD

BSD-NL — BSD-NL

helloworld() from Glitch v4.5.7   We'll be faster next time with the update. Pinky promise.

Also, @rqm: OpenBSD 7.8-current (GENERIC.MP) #255: Tue Feb 24 10:06:36 MST 2026. Your turn 

We've updated our S3 storage backend to the newest @HardenedBSD build - making sure that your media files are protected against adversaries with serious exploit mitigations.

Tonight, we'll update #OpenBSD too, which runs the actual Mastodon application - further increasing the exploit mitigations and safeguards

New #OpenBSD snapshot, new packages and new Masto release. Everything so you all can remain Tooting and be your Exquisite self  

Incident report

Our mailserver - mx1.exqinfra.nl - temporary had delivery issues. Due to a syntax error in the zone config, the PTR (reverse DNS) record was broken.

This has now been resolved. Apologies for the inconvenience, we will take better care to prevent this from happening.

Turns out that, yes, it was DNS 

Security fixes? Say no more. We are already on the just announced Mastodon v4.5.5  - the Glitch variant because Markdown makes the world go round.

Changelog at the GH repo.

We've had a short downtime because Charlock Holmes struggled with finding the proper character set.

And no, we aren't kidding.
