@stefano So many auth keys improperly obscured now in the wild...

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/114914266063275474I'm now upgrading the FreeBSD inside the red APU. This will be moved to the office and keep the backups of the backups.#IT #SysAdmin #ZFS #OwnYourData

@madduci @stefano il convegno si potrà seguire anche in live sul canale YT di @BoostMediaAPS anche se non si potranno leggere domande scritte in chat per un ordine serrato degli interventi e talk 😉

@dvl great. Thanks, Dan!

Last night I was watching a video from a YouTuber I enjoy. He’s likeable and reviews all kinds of smartphones. I find it relaxing, it makes me smile. In yesterday’s video, he showed his partner switching from an iPhone to Android and sharing his impressions.At one point, the partner started saying that iOS is "dumber2 in many ways, specifically talking about the keyboard, because "Apple’s privacy is stronger, so they spy on you less". To me, that’s a feature, not a bug.He went on to say it’s absurd, that he would actually like Amazon Alexa, Google, Android, iOS, and so on to know everything about him, so they can make things easier and provide more convenient features.I was honestly stunned. So I went to check the comments and... they were all focused only on the fact that, "finally", he introduced his boyfriend in a video.As long as this is how the average user thinks, big tech will keep their balance sheets locked tight and their hands on everyone’s data.#Privacy #Security #OwnYourData

@stefano Turing cafe or Hilbert?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_paradox_of_the_Grand_Hotel

@stefano LOL you trying to rebuild the Apple Timecapsule .. ?

Big update pushed for #BSSG - my Bash-based static site generatorThis is a major pre-release update, not the official release yet, and I would really love some testing and feedback before cutting it.Highlights:* New build mode: BUILD_MODE="ram" / --build-mode ram* This is a memory-first build mode designed to drastically reduce disk I/O during the build.* On real projects, this results in a ~2× speedup, and in some cases well over 3× faster builds, depending on:* site size* number of generators involved* storage speed* parallelism availableIn RAM mode you also get a stage timing summary, so you can see exactly where build time is spent. This makes performance tuning much more transparent and data-driven.Under the hood:The core build system was heavily refactored:* Clear separation between orchestration, generators, and indexing* Cleaner and more predictable generation flow for posts, pages, tags, authors, archives, and feeds* Asset and theme handling moved into a dedicated build module* Static file copying and theme CSS processing are no longer scattered around the codebasePerformance and robustness:* Smarter rebuild and caching logic* Improved parallel execution paths* Uses parallel when available* Shell-based worker fallback when it isn’t* Parallel behavior is now more robust and easier to reason aboutStability and polish:* Fixed an edge case with locale-specific timing parsing* Configuration and documentation updated to match new options and tuning knobs* Overall codebase is simpler, clearer, and easier to extendBefore tagging the official release, I need help testing this.* Please test from the main branch or commit and report issues *Links:Repo: https://brew.bsd.cafe/stefano/BSSGHuge thanks to everyone who tests, reports issues, or pokes at it.This release comes from a lot of refactoring and profiling, and fresh eyes really help#IT #SSG #Bash #OwnYourData

@gumnos @stefano 100% true!

Under the hood update!I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.#FediMeteo #SysAdmin #Python #FreeBSD #Coding #SelfHosted #OwnYourData #StayTuned

@stefano We shouldn't forget that the movements in memory manufacturers are because datacenter demands pays more compared with consumers demands.It's kinda "race". If consumers pay more, datacenters would pay even more.This means "cost pressures" on datacenters become higher and it should cause the fee for datacenters to be more expensive.So I think keeping data "in premise" being still competitive.

@stefano I'm trying SeaweedFS as a S3 storage (and FUSE mounts, too) on my daily job and looks wonderful so far. Such much easier than Ceph to set up.I'm also pushing a bit to have more metrics. 🤣

I think it's time to write an #introduction for this account as well!I'm Stefano Marinelli, Barista of the illumos Cafe and the BSD Cafe. I'm a technology and open source enthusiast, a strong advocate for #OwnYourData, and against computer monoculture, even when it comes to open source solutions. I've been active in the #Fediverse for years and am a firm believer in it. I decided to found this Cafe to bring the positive spirit of the BSD Cafe to curious and passionate users of #illumos based operating systems (#OmniOS, #SmartOS, #Tribblix, #OpenIndiana, etc.).I'll mainly use this account for content related to this instance and illumos-based operating systems, while my account at the BSD Cafe - @stefano@bsd.cafe - remains my primary one.For more information about the illumos Cafe, you can read the introductory post here: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/#illumosCafe #BSDCafe
