<p>Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,</p><p>This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago. Over time, several people have suggested it. But until recently, I felt the timing just wasn’t right - for many reasons. Today, I believe it finally is.</p><p>So I’m happy to announce a new service: <br>The BSD Cafe Journal - <a href="https://journal.bsd.cafe" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>journal.bsd.cafe</a></p><p>At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.</p><p>The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles - a place to inform and connect.<br>Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafes to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed - all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.</p><p>What it’s not:<br>It’s not here to replace personal blogs, or excellent newsletters like <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@vermaden" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>vermaden</span></a></span> &#x27;s. And it’s not an aggregator.</p><p>What it is:<br>A place where authors can write original content, share links to posts on their own blogs or elsewhere, publish guides, offer insights, or dive into technical explanations. </p><p>The guiding principles are the same as always: positivity, constructive discussion, promoting BSDs and open source in general. No hype (sharing a cool new service is fine, posting non-stop about the latest trend is not), no drama, no politics. The goal is to bring people together, not divide them. To inform, not inflame.<br>Respect, tolerance, and inclusivity are key. Everyone should feel welcome reading the BSD Cafe Journal - never judged, offended, or excluded.</p><p>The platform I’ve chosen is WordPress, for several reasons: it’s portable (runs well on all BSDs), has great built-in role management (contributors, authors, etc.), and - last but not least - supports ActivityPub.<br>This means every author will have their own identity in the Fediverse (like: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://journal.bsd.cafe/author/stefano/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>stefano</span></a></span> ) and can be followed directly, and it’ll also be possible to follow the whole Journal.</p><p>Original and educational content is encouraged, but it’s also perfectly fine to link to existing articles elsewhere. Personally, I’ll link my technical posts from ITNotes whenever I publish them there.</p><p>The goal is simple: a news-oriented site, rich in content, ad-free, respectful of privacy - all under the BSD Cafe umbrella.</p><p>Content coordination will happen in a dedicated Matrix room for authors. There’ll also be a public room for discussing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing suggestions.</p><p>Of course, I can’t do this alone. A journal with no content is just an empty shell.<br>So here’s my call for action:<br>Who’s ready to lend a hand? If you enjoy writing, explaining, sharing your knowledge - the Journal is waiting for you.</p><p><a href="/tags/bsdcafe/" rel="tag">#BSDCafe</a> <a href="/tags/bsdcafeservices/" rel="tag">#BSDCafeServices</a> <a href="/tags/bsdcafeupdates/" rel="tag">#BSDCafeUpdates</a> <a href="/tags/bsdcafeannouncements/" rel="tag">#BSDCafeAnnouncements</a> <a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RunBSD</a> <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="/tags/netbsd/" rel="tag">#NetBSD</a> <a href="/tags/openbsd/" rel="tag">#OpenBSD</a> <a href="/tags/illumos/" rel="tag">#illumos</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> <a href="/tags/oss/" rel="tag">#OSS</a> <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#OpenSource</a> <a href="/tags/bcjournal/" rel="tag">#BCJournal</a> <a href="/tags/bsdcafejournal/" rel="tag">#BSDCafeJournal</a></p>

I love my <a href="/tags/thinkpad/" rel="tag">#ThinkPad</a> P14s Gen 1 AMD and running <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> it sleeps and wakes from sleep without issue. But when I try <a href="/tags/openbsd/" rel="tag">#OpenBSD</a> on it, It does sleep you see the ThinkPad LED pulsing indicating sleep. But when I go to wake, It just sits on a blank screen and all you can do is force it off and on again. Anybody have similar experiences ??<br>

OK Not that I have anything against <a href="/tags/openbsd/" rel="tag">#OpenBSD</a> but I&#x27;m going to install <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> 15.0 onto my <a href="/tags/thinkpad/" rel="tag">#ThinkPad</a> again as I do miss ZFS and the extensive <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#Wayland</a> selection of apps too. Ok I miss full color emoji in the terminal too you got me. But I do still have OpenBSD running on my Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower so I can keep up with developments as I do still like what it is and what they stand for. I guess I&#x27;m just a <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a> girl and I like them all. <a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RunBSD</a> <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/snac.smithies.me.uk/runbsd.jpg" class="emoji" alt=":runbsd:" title=":runbsd:"> <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/snac.smithies.me.uk/openbsd.png" class="emoji" alt=":openbsd:" title=":openbsd:"> <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/snac.smithies.me.uk/freebsd.png" class="emoji" alt=":freebsd:" title=":freebsd:"><br>

<p>Since I wiped my main workstation/gaming PC the other day in a bout of frustration with, well, everything, I’ve been having fun OS-hopping. I have a fallback workstation that I can use for work purposes and to get me by while I’m noodling around in my main rig. My initial intention was to run OpenBSD for a few weeks to see the state of things on the desktop (I have a few devices running OpenBSD but all headless) but I ran into a weird USB storage bug. Just to see if it’s a hardware thing or an OS thing, I tried FreeBSD 15 and it was even worse.</p><p><a href="https://www.kaidenshi.com/posts/os-hopping-in-2026/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.kaidenshi.com/posts/os-hopping-in-2026/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.kaidenshi.com/posts/os-hop</span><span class="invisible">ping-in-2026/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/openbsd/" rel="tag">#OpenBSD</a> <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="/tags/elementaryos/" rel="tag">#elementaryos</a> <a href="/tags/slackware/" rel="tag">#Slackware</a> <a href="/tags/distrohopping/" rel="tag">#distrohopping</a></p>

I had to replace <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> with <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> on my old laptop at home serving as a streaming server for movies mainly. The only reason is low internet speed. The laptop came with an Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Plus Bluetooth wireless card, both the iwn and iwlwifi successfully bring it up and connect. However, neither driver worked well enough to achieve as fast as 1M/s speen when downloading large files. After installing <a href="/tags/debian/" rel="tag">#Debian</a> downloading speed easily goes up to as 2M/s when downlading the same large files.<br><br><a href="/tags/unix/" rel="tag">#Unix</a> <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a> <a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RunBSD</a> <a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#FOSS</a><br>

<p>Y&#x27;know what?

I think it&#x27;s still the 13 year old 5,400 RPM drive.

<p>Push Notifications and MastoBlaster</p>On iOS, push notifications must go through Apple’s servers. This is not something that can be bypassed, as it is part of the operating system’s architecture.<br><br>MastoBlaster, like other Fediverse apps, uses a design that maximizes user privacy.<br><br>When you log in to your instance, the app and the server exchange the necessary cryptographic keys. The app also communicates to the instance the address of the relay, which is the server responsible for forwarding notifications to Apple.<br><br>When a new notification is generated:<br><br>1. Your instance encrypts the notification.<br>2. It sends the encrypted payload to the relay.<br>3. The relay forwards it to Apple using its own authentication key.<br>4. Apple delivers it to your device.<br><br>The content of the notification is encrypted by your Fediverse server and can only be decrypted by your device.<br><br>The relay, which in the case of MastoBlaster is dedicated and hosted on a FreeBSD server, receives only encrypted data. It cannot read the content, does not know which account the notification belongs to, and does not store any information about the notification itself.<br><br>Apple knows which relay sent the notification and which device it must be delivered to, but it cannot access the content.<br><br>In short, only your instance and your device can read the notification.<br><br><a href="/tags/mastoblaster/" rel="tag">#MastoBlaster</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> <a href="/tags/akkoma/" rel="tag">#Akkoma</a> <a href="/tags/ios/" rel="tag">#iOS</a> <a href="/tags/apple/" rel="tag">#Apple</a> <a href="/tags/pushnotifications/" rel="tag">#PushNotifications</a> <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a><br>
