Here we are! FediMeteo is landing in the American Continent! The first Country covered is the USA - but Canada will follow shortly. It’s already possible to follow US cities at this link:

 The cities are listed alphabetically - I realize the list might not be very clear, but I’ll try to improve its readability in the coming days. The format is: city_name__state so, for example, Washington D.C. will be: [@washington__district_of_columbia](

A few days ago, a client of mine asked me to install an open-source software (which I won’t name for now). The software has only one official installation method: Docker. This is because, as they themselves admit, it has a huge number of dependencies - some quite outdated - that need to be carefully managed and forced into place; otherwise, nothing works. I tried replicating the same setup on FreeBSD but didn’t succeed, as some dependencies either aren’t compatible or simply refuse to run. I could try finding workarounds, but I can already picture the chaos every time an update is needed. So, I decided to build it via Docker to get a better sense of what we’re dealing with. The sheer number of dependencies that Node pulls in is impressive, but even more staggering is the number of warnings and errors it spits out: deprecated and unsupported packages, security vulnerabilities, generic warnings- you name it, and there’s plenty of it. Since my client needs to launch this service but is subject to audits, they want to be fully compliant and ensure security. Given their substantial budget, they offered financial support to the developers (a company, not just a group of hobbyists) to help improve the project either by making it FreeBSD - compatible or, at the very least, by reducing dependencies with critical vulnerabilities. The client was willing to pay a significant sum, and since the improvements would be open-source, everyone would benefit. The response from the team? A flat-out refusal. They claimed they couldn’t accept any amount of money because many of these dependencies are "necessary and irreplaceable, as parts of the code relying on them were written by people who no longer work on the project, and we can’t rewrite the core of the software.” Then came the part that really got under my skin: they stated they would rather deal directly “with my client, not with me, because in the end, my concerns are just useless and irrational paranoia.” Translation? Just pay, and you’ll pass compliance checks - never mind the fact that underneath, it’s a tangled mess of outdated and insecure components. And don’t make a fuss about it. While I can understand some of the challenges the team faces, I might have accepted this response if it had come from a group of volunteers or hobbyists. But if you’re a company whose sole business revolves around a single software product (with no real competition at the moment), this approach is not just short-sighted - it’s outright dangerous for your users’ security and for your own survival as a business. The result? They lost a paying client who was ready to invest a significant budget into their software. That budget will now go elsewhere. My client is considering hiring developers to build a similar project with better security (they have both the time and the money for it). I’ll do my best to convince them to release it as open-source - at which point, a new “competitor” will emerge in the market. #IT #SysAdmin #OSS #Security #Infosec
When you're in your 20s or 30s, you feel like you have all the time in the world. Sometimes you put things off or stop doing something, convinced that you'll have the chance to pick it back up in the future. For me, the first real impact of turning 40 (and now 45) is realizing that, no, some of the things I didn't do (or stopped doing) 15 years ago are no longer possible. Some things, maybe, but they wouldn't be the same. I admit, this thought crosses my mind sometimes. Then I focus on the things I can do, and everything feels much lighter. #Time #Reflection #LifeChoices #Mindfulness #LivingInTheMoment
I would like to invite everyone, whether passionate about BSD systems or not, to pay attention to the Berkeley Forest, created and developed by @npub1q0g7...6xlj . Several months ago, Ben contacted me and gave me a preview of what he was creating. I was fascinated by his passion and the result, the potential, and what this could bring. I encourage you to visit and see what it's about, and for any information, you can directly contact Ben. Also, I want to publicly apologize because I promised multiple times that I would connect to see the changes Ben had made, with pride, but I have never been able (until now) to keep that promise. Both due to objective reasons and my own fault. If you notice, I haven't participated in any online meetings (except for those strictly necessary for my work), and things are connected – without going into details. So, the least I can do is suggest you take a tour of the Berkeley Forest and contact Ben, who will be more than happy to show you what he has been able to conceive and create. #RunBSD #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #BerkeleyForest
What does it really mean to be #happy? For a dog it is living in #freedom, walking into the #sunset, meeting #friends along the way and running towards them to continue walking with them until evening comes. For every living thing, freedom is a huge step towards #happiness. #Dog #DogsOfMastodon #Photography #Photo #Italy #Sunset #Countryside #FreeDog #HappyDog #ThrowBackThursday image
A few days ago, Facebook (which I rarely use for some contacts) showed me two advertisements. They featured fake videos: one had Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suggesting to invest in a specific product, and the other simulated an interview by a well-known journalist with a minister, promoting certain types of investments. I promptly reported the ads. Just now, I reopened Facebook and saw this: they won’t remove the ads as it “doesn’t violate their advertising standards.” I know people who might believe in such videos, especially older ones. I had hoped that reporting them would lead to action. Prepare for an unsettling future ahead. #SocialNetworks #FakeNews #FakeVideos image
