Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve built together during the first full year of life for BSD Cafe. Launched on 20 July 2023, this project has grown far beyond what I could have imagined. While I haven’t tracked full uptime data, I can confidently say that the downtime was less than 30 minutes overall - even though the main VM hosting our services moved multiple times (including a switch from a Proxmox hypervisor to bhyve on FreeBSD, for the sake of alignment with our mission). In a world filled with over-engineered HA systems, we’ve outperformed many “big-name” cloud providers. Not bad for a community project, right?
For me, this has been an incredible journey. The users here are not just participants - they’re collaborators, and their positivity has been inspiring. The content shared and created at BSD Cafe has been valuable not only to the BSD community but beyond. What truly sets BSD Cafe apart is the openness for dialogue and exchange. Whether it’s social media posts, Matrix discussions, repositories in our brew, or RSS feeds, people seem to genuinely appreciate what we create and the conversations we foster.
BSD Cafe is a journey - one that grows, evolves, and continues. Our goal isn’t endless growth (we’re a community, not a business) but rather to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels a sense of positivity and belonging. For me, opening any service with “bsd.cafe” in the domain brings joy and pride. That’s the spirit I’ve tried to convey, and I hope it resonates with all of you, whether you’re active BSD Cafe users or friends of the community.
Promoting self-hosting and #OwnYourData has, as a side effect, inspired some users to “go solo” with their own setups. But even then, they remain part of BSD Cafe - in spirit, in purpose, and in connection.
Here’s a look at what we’ve achieved together this year:
- mastodon.bsd.cafe: 370 total users
Active in the past month: 207
Active in the past six months: 286
- snac.bsd.cafe: 14 total users
Active in the past month: 7
- blendit.bsd.cafe: 61 registered users
- matrix.bsd.cafe: 23 users
- brew.bsd.cafe: 29 users - 80 repositories
- freshrss.bsd.cafe: 25 users
- miniflux.bsd.cafe: 11 users
- press.bsd.cafe: 9 users
- myip.bsd.cafe: Constantly used by various users
- wiki.bsd.cafe: Could use a bit more love and content, but it fulfills its role as a functional homepage.
- tube.bsd.cafe: Still in testing - Peertube 7.0 update is on the way.
For detailed stats from our reverse proxy and general router (excluding media services, which generate most traffic but are handled via caching reverse proxies), you can check here - updated hourly: https://netstats.bsd.cafe
The journey of BSD Cafe continues, and I look forward to seeing where 2025 will take us. Together, we’ve built something special - something driven by passion, shared purpose, and a little bit of the BSD magic that makes all of this possible.
Here’s to a new year full of joy, serenity, and connection. Thank you for being part of this adventure.
Wishing you all a fantastic 2025 - and THANK YOU!
Stefano

Maintenant que je suis l'heureux propriétaire d'une liseuse Kobo (Libra Color) (t'as vu j'suis pas rancunier qu'ils soient mariés avec Instapaper hein), je vais p'tet pouvoir utiliser #wallabag via wallabako de @Anarcat. Ou alors KoReader (mais ça a foutu en l'air ma Touch Lux 3 vieille de 10 ans, alors j'suis un peu calmé pour l'instant).
RSS Is NOT Dead, by Syntax FM
> Scott and CJ explore why RSS still matters and how it’s more underused than outdated. They discuss how to self-host RSS readers, escape the noise of the modern web, and reclaim a cleaner, ad-free reading experience across devices.
Comme #Pocket est mort, je rappelle que #Wallabag existe et reste très simple/pratique pour sauvegarder des articles que vous avez lu en ligne (et qui sont importants pour vous). Ca se host, sinon c'est 11€/an, ce qui est franchement pas grand chose
Switching to wallabag (Pocket replacement), by @joncojonathan

Hace años empecé con pocket porque "venía" con firefox y descubrí que era un maldito timo porque terminabas por acumular miles (literalmente) de lecturas que no se reducían nunca y que te creaban ansiedad. Curioso que con los libros en papel eso no me pasa; será porque adornan mi vida, no sé.
En cualquiera de las dos herramientas (y supongo que no serán las únicas) el mayor problema que tenían era con las propias páginas web, una enorme parte de ellas diseñadas para NO compartir información y para NO leer con comodidad y mucho menos fuera de ellas, por lo que en ocasiones era imposible recoger el contenido y se limitaban a registrar la URL. URL que, por supuesto, desaparecía o se trasladaba o volvía a estar bajo un muro de pago que antes no o ... La internet moderna de los mercaderes: basura.
El caso es que cuando apareció wallabag -y teniendo dos servidores alquilados en la red- me pareció buena idea pasarme a él y alojarlo en ellos. Luego pensé que pedían muy poco y que estaría bien pagarles a ellos por una cuenta y así contribuir.
Lo usé durante un tiempo más, importando mi contenido de pocket, y alcancé inmediatamente el status anterior: montañas de páginas web superinteresantes pendientes de leer. Otro autoengaño.
Cuando descubrí que wallbag está diseñado para importar pero no para exportar me sentí ciertamente engañado y me dije que hasta ahí llegaba y que pasaba de ellos y me iba con pocket.
Eso fue el mes pasado.
Así que ahora no tengo claro qué hacer. Puedo usar la aplicación de marcadores de Nextcloud, que para eso tengo el montaje, o intentar encontrar algo nuevo que prometa guardar páginas y clasificarlas y organizarlas y ... termine empleando un LLM para darte la información.
Y yo muertito de angustia porque todo ese conocimiento vital para lo que fuese en ese momento mi vida no estará a mi alcance. 😞
