Dear friends of the #bsdcafe
Exactly two years ago, on 20th July 2023, I made a post announcing a new project: The BSD Cafe.
It was an idea I had been thinking about for a while, but never had the courage to truly take on. Yet, in those days, I pushed past my doubts, finalized the last bits of […]

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
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.
So I’m happy to […]

After 5 years of development, Alpine Linux just merged apk v3 into edge! 🎉
There are some fantastic things in there, such as downloading packages before installing them (which we enabled by default), so that a flaky internet connection can't ever destroy your system again.

The Server That Wasn't Meant to Exist
A story from 16 years ago - trust, tech, and a server that had to disappear. They offered me a blank check. I said no.

I've decided to remove one of the two US CDN nodes. They’ve become more expensive and now come with bandwidth limits.
They were mainly serving BSD Cafe media and my blog posts, but having two wasn’t worth the extra cost, as it didn’t bring any real advantages.
