Good morning, #BSDCafe
Good morning, #illumosCafe
Good morning, #Fediverse

Today looks like it’s going to be an interesting day. It started off on the right foot, which hasn’t exactly been a given these past few months, and there’s even a bit of sunshine, though rain is expected later.

This morning I’ll be working on some interesting tasks, setting up two FreeBSD systems and speaking with a client about an interesting project based on OpenBSD. I’ll share more details once everything is clearly outlined.

In the afternoon I’ll meet with the insurance adjuster to figure out how to handle the whole #Crapturday situation. The floors are still bringing salt crystals back to the surface because of how long the “water” lingered, and the office is still almost unusable.

Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Happy Wednesday!

@philvuchetich let me know!

Big update pushed for #BSSG - my Bash-based static site generator

This 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 available

In 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 codebase

Performance 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 about

Stability 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 extend

Before tagging the official release, I need help testing this.

* Please test from the main branch or commit and report issues *

Huge 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

Arrivals and Departures

A sleepless night, a thought about the day I arrived and the day I'll leave.

@michel I'm glad you like it! It's still my reference when I need to block specific countries (or just allow some)

@becomingwisest Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the need to expand depends on the reader's server or app settings, as on snac the text is fully visible without expanding. I'll still make a few more tweaks to improve readability.

@xconde @lucasarts_places I agree. They're so...80ies

@mwl what a lovely glance!

@mms ahah nice! Do you know where the "umarell" word comes from? It's from the local Bologna dialect, and it means "little man".
It's always funny to read local slang in international posts 🙂

@def eheh 🙂
Thank you, you have a beautiful day, too (PS: I replied to the FediMeteo-related message, too)

@peterkotrcka thank you! You too!

Monday morning.
Misty, with rain in the forecast. Woke up early, couldn't get back to sleep (that happens when I'm not entirely at peace).
They're digging up the street again (if they break the water pipe one more time, I’m going to dump my toilet on their heads, medieval style).
I’m expecting a pretty unpleasant call from someone I’ll have to blow off.
Meanwhile, I’m waiting for mid-morning to make a call that will hopefully be more positive.

All in all, I just hope this turns out to be at least a decent day.

@pertho Great!
No, it actually doesn't matter as swap will then be unencrypted using the key stored in the ZFS dataset.
In the first draft I wrote that you can use the same password, but it doesn't matter. Maybe I can add this.

@EnigmaRotor 😂

@justine get well soon!

@jae Sure, that's not a coffee, but some organic red wine. I'm not sure if Italian Bars serve more coffee or wine, nowadays.

Thank you for the wonderful wish and have a great week too!

I was almost forgetting...it's #SilentSunday

A nice memory from 2021

@gabe_saltar Unfortunately, it's from 2023 🙂
