BSD Cafe Billboard

@grahamperrin yes, I think I'll just schedule the admin sessions with her and have a chat afterwards, since I'd have to ask her to turn on the laptop anyway. But it's a fair point, we'll see how it works in practice.

Ole Asteo / nodebb-plugin-shortcuts · GitLab If I understand correctly, the plugin will allow shortcuts such as Control-I and Control-B. Whilst I love the idea, you might want to hesitate before plugging things such as this into a nice new instance. See, for example, https://community.nodebb.org/post/96744 (2023) …

Memories of the great #EuroBSDCon#EuroBSDCon2025 #ThrowbackThursday

The Billboard just got a hallway track. We've added a Conferences section with dedicated subcategories for the three major BSD conferences: EuroBSDCon, BSDCan, and AsiaBSDCon. Whether you're preparing a talk proposal, looking for travel tips, writing a trip report, or trying to figure out who's going this year - now there's a place for that conversation to live longer than a Fediverse thread. More conferences may be added over time based on community interest. If you think something is missing, let us know.

@rl_dane Danes reporting for duty!

Thanks. Maybe NodeBB defaults to strictness for new users, which would make sense. If so: leave it as is, I guess that I'll be able to edit the subject line there when I become a trusted user (I'm in no rush).

@carson@social.chittom.family great. Let me know if you find any problems!

Welcome to anyone running or interested in running Tribblix! Yes, it's a hobby project, but it's built to my standards which I hope are good enough to make it useful. It would be nice to know what sorts of things people might be using Tribblix for, and what other people consider its strengths and weaknesses. (After all, it's perfect for me, by definition.)
