Stefano MarinelliNow that it's official, I can announce it - although I may have dropped a few hints earlier! 😉 My talk "Why (and how) we’re migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs" has been accepted, and I’ll be honored to present it in June at BSDCan in Ottawa.The joy of meeting BSD friends in person again (and those I haven’t had the chance to meet live yet) will be immense, and the honor of sharing my story in Canada is truly beyond measure, especially considering the level of other talks and all the people attending.Of course, I’ll be bringing various BSD Cafe gadgets with me!For more information, here’s <a href="https://io.mwl.io/@mwl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mwl</a> 's post with further details: <a href="https://blog.bsdcan.org/2025/03/18/bsdcan-2025-talks-tutorials-and-registration/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.bsdcan.org/2025/03/18/bsdcan-2025-talks-tutorials-and-registration/</a><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BSDCan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a>

FreeBSD FoundationThe FreeBSD team conquered a massive 7,000 bug backlog 💪 Once overwhelmed by thousands of open issues, the team, with the help of data visualization tools, turned chaos into clarity.Their approach involved setting up custom dashboards using GrimoireLab, which provided valuable insights into their Bugzilla system. They introduced new metrics like "unattended" and "abandoned" tickets to prioritize their efforts.

Jeff MossSo since 2004 <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> has a security system called "ugidfw" or "firewall-like access controls for file system objects" where you apply firewall like rules to permit or deny uid:gid to specific directories or files.For example I could say: add subject uid 22 gid 22 object uid 0 gid 0 filesys / type r mode r;and then SSHD could only ever be able read regular files owned by root:wheel but never write them, etc.It's a great way to detect with applications are trying to do strange things with permissions you are not expecting.But it is a huge pain to debug problems, there are basically no guides or how-to examples. I keep meaning to write something up, but before I do is anyone aware of or interested in ugidfw?

nixCraft 🐧Pro tip: You can use `sudo pkg version -vRL=` command to list all upgradeable packages on FreeBSD and then apply those updates using pkg.

💓~eva~💓Sometimes I think, maybe I should use TrueNAS, and then I remembered that their C•Suite decided to give the 🖕🏻 to FreeBSD... the very same operating system and community of developers and engineers who enabled their company to exist from the start, to scale to the level which brought them success and growth and accolades from the OSS and enterprise storage communities alike. So no, I don't use TrueNAS. Whatever many reasons they and their indolent fanboys push for moving to Linux, and I have heard them all, it's irrelevant. They didn't just bite the hand that feeds, they went straight over to the clown-show makeup meme table and slathered it on; trying so hard to convince everyone including themselves that this betrayal was the Good and Ethical thing to do. Luckily there are alternatives, and those will get my time, engineering efforts, and fiscal support. One thing to remember: alienated users do not recommend those formerly loved products to their employers, they do not "spread the love" via organic marketing, and perhaps sometimes they dissuade when they would formerly embrace.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#truenas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/oss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oss</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/enterprisearchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enterprisearchitecture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#storage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ixsystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ixsystems</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/mistakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mistakes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/corporategreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corporategreed</a>

eXOfàsiaEn línia general, per aquí defensem que la infraestructura de fibra òptica hauria de ser un comú, de forma similar a les carreteres o les línies elèctriques. En ciutats com Zürich és el cas: una empresa municipal administra la part física, subcontractant el manteniment i la instal•lació si s'escau: <a href="https://www.ewz.ch/de/private/glasfaser.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ewz.ch/de/private/glasfaser.html</a> Els proveïdors paguen a aquesta empresa municipal per l'accés a la part física (al mateix preu, totes les empreses) i competeixen en prestacions i atenció als clients finals, que poden canviar de proveïdor super fàcil donant el múmero del punt terminal de Fibra Òptica. Aqui això no és una realitat i llogar la part física, encara que sigui als grans, te sentit; però clarament no és una competència en igualtat de condicions. Apart de la capa física, hi ha moltes coses involucrades en un ISP (Proveïdor de Serveis d'Internet), i aquí és on potser la crítica a <a href="https://mastodon.social/users/somconnexio" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@somconnexio@mastodon.social</a> és parcialment vàlida, però cal ésser conscients que per la seva estructura cooperativista hi ha una sèrie de limitacions salarials que fan que potser no puguin assumir amb personal propi certes tasques; no és pas una qüestió fàcil d'adreçar, i segur que està en el seu ràdar. A eXO, per l'escala (petita!) i la tipologia de sòcies, tot el que va més enllà de la capa física ho porta l'associació mateixa amb feina voluntària i col•laboracions estretes; així els routers poden ser genèrics (n'hi ha amb <a href="https://exo.cat/fedi?t=openwrt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenWRT</a>, mikrotik, <a href="https://exo.cat/fedi?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a>, …), les IPs són pròpies (eXO és membre del <a href="https://exo.cat/fedi?t=ripencc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RIPENCC</a>), hi ha una IPv4 pròpia i una delegació de bloc /56 de <a href="https://exo.cat/fedi?t=ipv6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPv6</a>, si canviem de domicili les nostres IPs vénen amb nosaltres, i si ens hi volem implicar, podem involucrar-nos en l'operativa de l'associació, aprenent com es fa i com funciona internet en el procés. Sobretot el tema de l'escala petita fa que el preu d'accés a la capa física sigui alt, i que les despeses fixes es distribueixin entre poques connexions. Tampoc hi ha un ànim de lucre, inversions ni especulacions, així que els serveis s'han de poder sostenir econòmicament. Això fa que no sigui viable oferir els preus tan baixos com els que ofereixen altres ISP, però sí que baixaran, i sobretot contribuïm a mantenir una infraestructura de manera diferent, mancomunada i comunitària, i a poder oferir serveis al públic general com ara meet.guifi.net / meet.eXO.cat, que és operat i suportat econòmicament 100% per l'associació.
