snac.void.my is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

Many thanks to Job Snijders & "Apsephion" for the artwork!

Started the fish linux update to 7.8 (https://www.openbsd.org/78.html) on my trusty old ideapad.
@job Really liking it, thank you! I might be weird but it was one of the features I was quite excited about in the new #OpenBSD 7.8 release!
I believe I am not alone in asking this -- in a future version, would you be able to add an option that could call an external application on change, either with or without piping on the changes via stdout?
Currently I'm using entr for static site generation, and I would really like to swap it for a built-in tool. Watch could fit that bill.
But I immediately wanted to use watch for monitoring nodes in my tailscale network by calling tailscale status. It would be supr helpful if it could trigger a command: for example I could trigger a ntfy call via curl that would immediately tell me if a server drops off. Something like, watch -l -X "curl -G -d @- http://my.ntfyinstan.ce/?bla'" tailscale status or even watch --silent -l | curl etc
Would you consider such functionality? It would be awesome and could extend the use cases for watch very significantly.
For #PCgaming using a DAC or buying a sound card for the most powerful audio experience, or if someone enjoys #raytracing or path tracing, Windows is the only option to use. Also, not every game released in the past 40 years can function in #linux.
Where I do gently start to gently raise an issue is if someone owns multiple computers and everything is on Windows, I do atart to nudge towards other options, if fo no other reason then not having to fix computers that don't use Windows. I wish I could build an #openbsd desktop or #freebsd desktop for a lot more people, but at times it's better to leave friends and customers alone for their OS choices and try to support whatever they are comfortable using.
How about we rebrand #OpenBSD 7.8 as #Windows12 to give #endof10 refugees thr upgrade they didn't know they needed

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?
For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.
BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.
Promoting self-hosting and #OwnYourData has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.
Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:
- mastodon.bsd.cafe: 370 total users
Active in the past month: 207
Active in the past six months: 286
- snac.bsd.cafe: 14 total users
Active in the past month: 7
- blendit.bsd.cafe: 61 registered users
- matrix.bsd.cafe: 23 users
- brew.bsd.cafe: 29 users - 80 repositories
- freshrss.bsd.cafe: 25 users
- miniflux.bsd.cafe: 11 users
- press.bsd.cafe: 9 users
- myip.bsd.cafe: Constantly used by various users
- wiki.bsd.cafe: Could use a bit more love and content, but it fulfills its role as a functional homepage.
- tube.bsd.cafe: Still in testing - Peertube 7.0 update is on the way.
For detailed stats from our reverse proxy and general router (excluding media services, which generate most traffic but are handled via caching reverse proxies), you can check here - updated hourly: https://netstats.bsd.cafe
The journey of BSD Cafe continues, and I look forward to seeing where 2025 will take us. Together, we’ve built something special - something driven by passion, shared purpose, and a little bit of the BSD magic that makes all of this possible.
Here’s to a new year full of joy, serenity, and connection. Thank you for being part of this adventure.
Wishing you all a fantastic 2025 - and THANK YOU!
Stefano
