🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟
Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.
BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.
The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.
The server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also installed but not yet activated to move individual jails to different machines.
Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.
Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.
The instance starts empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.
Apart from my user (npub1t7dmr2xue8zaxsxhy2xkdja0nx6f8cu8y8l7hfksw98y773djkgquzpqpp (npub1t7d…pqpp)), I've added a bot from the beginning named "FreeBSD Fortune" (npub193kwyxfhvy665nl27wfydwxdnqpk3tt7clpzn42at7myvdd9732q82rhhs (npub193k…rhhs)), which will automatically post a #FreeBSD "fortune" every hour. More similar bots for other *BSD systems and beyond will be added as time permits.
Join me at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.
Soon, I'll publish a website on https://bsd.cafe with an overview of tools, services, rules, uptime, and more.
