Stefano’s Courier Theorem: The punctuality and promptness of a courier are inversely proportional to how much you actually need your package. #Theory #Theorem #Fact
Sunday morning. I open the issue tracker of a software project. One of the issues: "Library Y is outdated, you should use library Z". A dev replies: "Y is still perfectly valid, and it’s the only one that ensures compatibility with other OSes like the BSDs". Response: "Nobody uses those OSes anymore, and there’s no reason to - we have Linux!" The dev simply closed the issue. Great way to start the day. 🙂 #RunBSD
I took this photo at 00:11 on 23 January 2012 with my smartphone at the time, a Galaxy S2 - and I’m still amazed by the quality of the final result. But looking at it again brings back all sorts of feelings: peace, turmoil, serenity, worry, relaxation and anxiety. Solitude and a sense of freedom. This photo is part of a me that no longer exists - or maybe one that is just quietly sleeping somewhere inside me. #Photography #Throwback #Past #PersonalReflections #EveningMood #SilentSunday #Silence image

Today is Monday, 1st September. And September means one thing: EuroBSDCon! 23 days to go until EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb! I’m doing a little “advent calendar” for BSD fans: each day until the conference I’ll share one article from it-notes.dragas.net about FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, ZFS, PF and more. The dedicated hashtag will be #EuroBSDConAdvent Let’s start right away with "I Solve Problems" - my EuroBSDCon 2024 (and #BSDCan 2025) talk about migrating from Linux to BSDs: If you’re coming to Zagreb, reply to this post - it would be nice to meet up with fellow BSD users! #EuroBSDCon #BSD #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #DragonFlyBSD #ZFS #PF #RunBSD #EuroBSDConAdvent

A few days ago, someone contacted me regarding legal matters. When I replied that it wasn’t my field, this person got back to me just now saying that Gemini had suggested I had experience both in IT and in law, having even written important papers in the legal field. Indeed, I have a namesake and I checked: Gemini thinks we’re the same person. I foresee “interesting” times ahead.
Good Afternoon, #BSDCafe Good Afernoon, #illumosCafe There's a specific reason I'm publishing this piece today. But no one will get it. Enjoy the melody anyway! #Music #MastoRadio #FediRadio #FediMusic #JukeBox
Fortunately, @Ворон 's site on snac themes still has this screenshot, which I'm happy to share. This response from the author of snac motivated me to continue, study, and appreciate this fantastic software for the Fediverse. Snac is an example of true internet democracy: it runs everywhere and allows anyone to have their own autonomous, personal space in the Fediverse. "Don't despair or quit", says an author who cares. And the Fediverse cares about them. For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to thank grunfink - @The Real Grunfink - for the excellent work they do, quietly and with passion. I suggest that if you think snac is a good idea and you have the means, you offer them at least a coffee. #snac #snac2 #Fediverse #OwnYourData image
