This round of ticket sales has sold out.

If you had a ticket in your basket but it vanished, some people have found that logging in lets them recover it: https://www.emfcamp.org/login

We will re-enable ticket sales for those with vouchers shortly.

Some of us took a few days off between the years, but preparations for v14 are ongoing.

Therefore, we decided to skip the monthly report for December.

Nevertheless, you can look forward to the v14 release. Release preparations are actively underway and the release is scheduled for 15 January. If you want to help improve the release, feel free to test it. You can find more information here: https://forgejo.org/2025-09-monthly-report/#forgejo-v1300-release-candidates

The monthly report will return in early February, covering January and December.

That was *joyful*, had to go and pick up the shopping in the snow.

Luckily most of the roads were gritted and we're not far off a main road.

(I cleared more snow off before departing).

TIL: $HOSTALIASES in FreeBSD

Apparently you can set the $HOSTALIASES environment variable in FreeBSD (and maybe some Linuxen? but not OpenBSD AFAICT) to point to an alternate hosts file (instead of the default /etc/hosts) for re-mapping particular hosts. This would let you do something like

$ HOSTALIASES=$HOME/hosts.txt myprog

and any name-resolution that myprog(1) does will first consult the ~/hosts.txt file.

Take the time to read {again} how Stephan has built a self hosted CDN using OpenSource programming and tools.

He literally shares the code. From what I processed, this method can scale up quite easily. You can build a super large CDN yourself using similar modus operandi.

No corporate CDN, but the insight, resilience and technical expertise of a great programmer, with the Passion and Curiosity of someone visionary.

All powered by OpenSource BSD IPv6 jails DNS caching and enthusiasm

Thank you Stephan

Will now (in theory) fetch the latest info for the #amateurRadio servers I know about and update the page info every day.

Code is at https://git.m0yng.uk/mastodon.radio/fediDashGrabber if you want to laugh at it

Any admins want to join in (or leave) let me know!
