Benvenutə nel gruppo di discussione sul Fediverso.
Questo è lo spazio dedicato al Fediverso, l’alternativa libera, decentralizzata e federata alle piattaforme delle Big Tech. Un luogo per conoscere, usare e diffondere strumenti come Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube e molte altre soluzioni etiche, dove la persona è al centro, non il profitto.
Usare Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, Instagram e simili vi trasforma in una sorta di giullari di corte: intrattenete il re (la piattaforma) sperando di ottenere qualche avanzo di attenzione, retweet o like rischiando sempre di essere messi da parte se non siete abbastanza “divertenti” o utili ai loro obiettivi. È come stare alla mercé di una corte virtuale, dove la vostra voce passa solo se ritenuta gradita. Il Fediverso quindi è la risposta concreta a un web diventato tossico e chiuso:
- ❌ Niente algoritmi manipolatori
- ❌ Niente pubblicità
- ❌ Niente sorveglianza e tracciamento delle abitudini.
🔗 Seguici anche su:
- Mastodon – aggiornamenti quotidiani dal mondo del Fediverso
- Telegram – notizie, guide e segnalazioni sul fediverso
- Newsletter – un riepilogo mensile di quello che capita nel fediverso italiano.
- account consigliati – Lista degli account che raccontano il fediverso.

I'm Nick, and I like to tinker with Linux stuff. I'll bumble through distro reviews, tutorials, and general helpful tidbits and impressions on Linux desktop environments, applications, and news. You might see a bit of Linux gaming here and there, and some more personal opinion pieces, but in the end, it's more or less all about Linux and FOSS !

On OpenBSD forum, Over the past few weeks, I've created several posts whose titles begin with ‘OpenBSD Stories’, about Miod Vallat's articles…
Today I’m thinking to myself, I should have "posted in the same topic"!
Is there a way to group them together?

Hello bsd.cafe users!
I wanted to show y'all my desktop. I thought we could start a chain of people posting their desktop setups on their machines running any of the *BSDs
I'll start. This is OpenBSD with StumpWM. Shown is emacs on the left, DeaDBeeF on the top right playing "chipmunks on 16 speed", and xterm on the bottom right. The "bar" is StumpWM's built in modeline.

Spun off from (Linux) Fedora Verified: Help Shape a New Way to Recognize Fedora Contributors | BSD Cafe Billboard
FreeBSD Project
– redirects to https://social.bsdlab.au/notice/B5jMI1FY3WtTTWqvNA:
Something the #FreeBSD core team could consider. This is something that has probably been needed for a while @dch@bsd.network
My initial thoughts:
- it's an awful lot to think about for a project, or team (Core, for example), that already has, I think, too much to think about.
Fedora Project
From the Proposal:
Unanswered Questions for the Fedora Community
While we have a framework, there are several major questions we need the community to answer before we move forward. Specifically, we want to know:
- Validation: Should applicants be approved by grassroots peer vouches, or an elected committee?
- Fairness: Does this model truly value non-code contributions equally?
- Progression: How strictly structured should the path to becoming “Verified” be?
- Maintenance: Should the status expire after 12 months of inactivity?
Of those four questions, the first two are huge.

… I do have to echo some of the concerns people seem to be raising about being unclear to what this is actually solving. …

I recently relocated to a place with no local BSD/Linux/Unix user group. There is a burgeoning IT scene of local geeks and professionals and I think it's a ripe environment for a Unix user group.
My motivation: I'm passionate about discussing ethics in IT, teaching Unix-fu, and helping people install free/open Unix (install fests let's gooo).
Does anyone have any experience with running a user group? What feedback do you have?
Long live liberated Unix
@grahamperrin said: A user group solely for locals to meet in person and, occasionally, online? Exactly. I was part of my Computing Society at university; it was a great way to meet, learn, and share. I haven't attended a LUG/BUG in years... I miss being part of a 3rd place for Unix nerds and am up to try and steward a group. -

CHERI memory safety mitigates LLM-discovered vulnerability in FreeBSD – CHERI Alliance
<https://cheri-alliance.org/cheri-memory-safety-mitigates-llm-discovered-vulnerability-in-freebsd/>
＂… CHERI trivially blocks this attack and likely many others. As LLM-driven discovery accelerates, the case for memory safety by design becomes stronger.＂

Open source software has existed long before the invention of the (D)VCS. The author likely hosted a barebones HTML webpage or a txt file describing the project. There definitely was an FTP server somewhere with tarballs. The author may have been reachable by email.
Parallel discussions: Open Source Does Not Imply Open Community | Lobsters Open source does not imply open community | Hacker News Nit: I don't like the Douglas Adams pretence. The heart of the problem isn't at the GitHub level; it's people, at any level. One or two bad eggs can spoil an omelette. … No "community". No politics. No Code of Conduct. No pull requests or issues. No wiki. No core team. … Worth reading (the author is a FreeBSD ports committer): HowToBe/CoreMember - FreeBSD Wiki Eggs [image: 1777824019418-38e5b338-7998-4508-8deb-74b7a11f8ded-image.jpeg] – Doorverts – SDDC -
The site logo (also used for a couple of forums, like this one) loads slow enough that I can see it show up. I checked and https://billboard.bsd.cafe/assets/uploads/system/site-logo.png (with some cache-busting ?v=... suffix) is 2MB!
I'm not sure if it really needs to be a 2048x2048 pixels, 24bit PNG. Same size as a 16 colors PNG: virtually identical, 390kb. Same size, but jpg: 297kb. And even that seems excessive to me for a logo that's usually scaled down to thumbnail size.

There are many guides on setting up / hardening your server. Books, the manual, all good resources.
I don't expect you to reproduce full books worth of content, or dump a lifetime of experience into a single post - but certainly anything you think important, under-covered or underappreciated in the "usual" resources, would be keen to know!
To start, if I had to call out one best practice that stuck on me, it would be keeping the base system minimal, and putting services into jails (or, maybe daemonless going forward).
