There's a new wave of spam - all around the Fediverse.
Please remember, there's no "Mastodon Moderation Team" sending out strange verification messages.
That's all spam.

Today is Tuesday, and therefore a #ThankYouTuesday.
This is one of the psychologically toughest periods for me in the last 10 years. And my friends - many of whom are here - are giving me incredible support.
I am confident that everything will work out, and what will remain is the memory and the gratitude for what I have been given.
Thank you, from the heart.

Good morning, #BSDCafe
Good morning, #illumosCafe
Good morning, #Fediverse
I’ve been up since 5:30, even though I would have gladly slept a bit longer.
I found a regression in MastoBlaster, notifications on Mastodon, I’m checking it.
One of my secondary servers is down, I’m waiting for a KVM console.
It’s foggy outside.
There’s still fog inside the house too, unfortunately.
Let’s hope the day turns out to be a good one.

My old friend, a Raspberry Pi A+, has been running my home heating system for months, just like it did back in 2014.
It has not missed a single moment.
It has sailed through every so called cloud outage.
It kept working flawlessly even when the Internet connection was down, because it simply does not need it.
This is the kind of technology I love.
Of course, it runs NetBSD!

EDIT: Build 68 should also run on iOS 18.x but it currently crashes. I'll see if I can fix it.
After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.
MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.
It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.
What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage
Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.
It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.
Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.
The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.
TestFlight link:
https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1k
Stay tuned.

EDIT: the person I contacted replied and the new posts have the correct attribution. So the problem is solved.
There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance. These contents are narrated aloud, likely by an AI, in several languages, and are based on articles that appear online. Today this happened with an article I shared from my blog.
The problem is that there is no attribution to the original author and or the original source site. On the contrary, it gives the impression that the content was produced directly by whoever runs that site or instance.
This is completely detached from the idea of properly sharing information. Taking inspiration is a wonderful thing. Claiming someone else’s work as your own is not.
I contacted the account in question this morning. I have not received any reply, even though other content has been published in the meantime. A short while ago I also contacted the instance administrator.
I will wait until tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will publicly disclose the instance and the related content and block the entire domain. There are additional details that I prefer not to reveal at this time which further worsen the situation.
This is not how we act in the Fediverse.
In the Fediverse we respect one another.
Let us avoid bringing improper practices here. You are free to use my posts as you wish. You can even make money by applying my advice.
Just do not take away my attribution.

Today has been a long day, one that started very early in a soft, cool mist.
At last I can relax a bit, enjoy dinner, and try to catch a little bit of that weekend feeling.
Have a great weekend, #BSDCafe
Have a great weekend, #illumosCafe
Have a great weekend, #Fediverse

My BSDCan submission has been approved!
It will be wonderful to be back in Ottawa, meet again all the "old" (and new) friends from the BSD world and, this time, present something that has saved me more than once... and it’s based on NetBSD!

Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.
I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.
Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.
FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.
If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:

Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, so I want to say thanks to:
* OpenMeteo - @openmeteo@fosstodon.org - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful
* @grunfink - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM
* FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort
* FediFollows - @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project
*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project
And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.
Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉
