I am kinda planning the upcoming months and the next year.

Any conferences you think I should put on my radar? Would love to speak more about decomputing/active luddism and tech.

@tante Maybe we could try for a #EuroBSDcon keynote again?

Don't be a fool (like I was) when it comes to #jails on #FreeBSD. I ignored them despite using FreeBSD for decades, because I had no problem that could not be solved w/o them and thought "why learn yet another technology I barely need".

But it's not only about solving problems. It gives you a super lightweight and fast tool to test things (and trashing 🗑️ them with zfs destroy) without cluttering your configs or interfering with production services.

E.g. I hesitated to run a webserver for publishing content because I didn't want a publicly accessible Apache on my mail relays, nor on my Nextcloud instance at home.

With jails, the MX is left unmodified. If I feel like it I could move it to a different system just using tar or cpio or zfs send.

All I needed to accomplish that was a few shell scripts to initially generate a jail template and, of course, the invaluable book "FreeBSD Mastery: Jails" of @mwl .

What motivated me to get started? All the
speakers at #EuroBSDCon showing what incredible things they do with Jails. Especially >>IMUNES: A Network Emulation and Simulation Tool Built on FreeBSD<<.

If you want to watch the IMUNES talk you can find the link on my jailed webserver 😉 here https://pub.v32bis.cc/eurobsdcon.html

I updated the #EuroBSDCon 2025 video index:

- all talks now have a description link
- computed human readable times from seconds

Recovering and reminiscing on an incredible #EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb, Croatia! 🇭🇷

What a week! Over 220 attendees, 48 brilliant speakers, and 16 amazing sponsors came together to celebrate all things #BSD. The energy was #BSD, deep dives into tech, inspiring talks, and those hallway conversations that spark new ideas and collaborations.

Huge shoutout to the video crew who made sure every moment was captured, and to everyone who traveled near and far to be part of this vibrant community. Whether it was hacking, learning, or just geeking out over #BSD, the connections made here are what make this event so special.

Zagreb, and the incredible Organizing Committee, you were the perfect host! Already counting down to the next one in Brussels! 🇧🇪
