    Hi! I hope you are all doing well. This is just a quick introduction! I'm a Senior Cloud Consultant for a multinational corporation. First UNIX systems for me were SunOS, IRIX and AIX back in the day. I moved over to Linux very shortly in the late-90s and then OpenBSD. Around 2001 I moved over to FreeBSD and stayed. I use FreeBSD on all my servers and I used FreeBSD as a primary desktop at work from 2009 to 2013. I'm getting back into FreeBSD after a bit of a hiatus, let's see where it takes me. Kind regards....

  • We are inclusive. Linux discussion is welcome at the Cafe too.

    I've done it, but it's not documented or deployed to production yet. In this scenario, each PieFed instance is it's own separate usenet server and does not interact with the wider usenet network at all (only the fediverse). NNTP is just used to serve clients, not to connect to other servers (although that would be cool!)

  • Break things here, not in production. Testing, experiments, and sandbox shenanigans.

Compare with this morning's https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/189, where the first two shares were below the opening post: the first share appears as a boost by Mastodon ID @announcements@bsd.cafe at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano@billboard.bsd.cafe/116373336660957859 in the BSD Cafe Announcements area the second share, by @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe, is not visible to me at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/with_replies – I imagine that @stefano sees the share, as himself in Mastodon, as a mention.

    https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/116360952509659346 a few minutes ago did address a category here in NodeBB, but has not yet appeared in the category: https://billboard.bsd.cafe/category/6/freebsd It is visible as a post at https://billboard.bsd.cafe/user/grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe/posts. A post, not a topic. Might this explain why it is not a topic in the category?

    Maybe not so useful for many, but some screen editors are not good at handling looooong single line, even if the whole bunch of file size is small. An example of this situation would be copy (from terminal emulator) and paste to editor window the output from poudriere to see specific ports are included in skipped (or succeeded) ones on building a large number of ports. Built, ignored, failed, skipped ports has single output line respectively. In this specific cases, editors/leafpad (and IIRC, editors/pluma, too) locks up on horizontal scrolling (in case turned over at right end of window, vertical, too) or searching. devel/geany works fine. Just examples I've tried before.
