BSD Cafe Announcements<p>Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,</p><p>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.</p><p>So I’m happy to announce a new service: <br>The BSD Cafe Journal - <a href="https://journal.bsd.cafe" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">journal.bsd.cafe</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.</p><p>The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles - a place to inform and connect.<br>Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafes to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed - all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.</p><p>What it’s not:<br>It’s not here to replace personal blogs, or excellent newsletters like <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@vermaden" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>vermaden</span></a></span> ’s. And it’s not an aggregator.</p><p>What it is:<br>A place where authors can write original content, share links to posts on their own blogs or elsewhere, publish guides, offer insights, or dive into technical explanations. </p><p>The guiding principles are the same as always: positivity, constructive discussion, promoting BSDs and open source in general. No hype (sharing a cool new service is fine, posting non-stop about the latest trend is not), no drama, no politics. The goal is to bring people together, not divide them.

Stefano Marinelli<p>Yesterday, I experienced two disappointments, and in such cases, a bit of my enthusiasm tends to wane. It's been a long and winding week. <br>The fortunate thing, though, is that these very disappointments cause me to "withdraw" a bit into my own world. And this often means some cool "nerd" experiments. Plus, in the afternoon, some relaxation. And my wife is happy because she sees me doing my "nerd" things with a smile, and afterward, I have that sense of well-being to dedicate to doing some nice activities with her.</p><p>Currently, I have two PCEngines APUs (retired from client workloads but still in full form and energy). One with OpenBSD, the other with NetBSD, added to the FreeBSD one that's already been running since yesterday evening.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RunBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a></p>

Stefano Marinelli<p>When I complain that some software (or its dependencies) doesn't work on *BSD but requires Linux, I'm not criticizing Linux. For me, it's not an OS battle, but a matter of freedom and avoiding a dangerous and rampant computing monoculture. And when people reply to me with "well, just use it on Linux" - while they're giving me sensible advice - they're missing the crucial point: if it ONLY runs on Linux, it's not Linux's fault, but we are, precisely, creating a dangerous monoculture.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RunBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>illumos</span></a></p>

Not obvious:<br>I made sure the country and domain where set in the config, but that didn't do it.<br>The issue is that my SSID has 3 channels and it always selected the first one ( the 2ghz ).<br>I needed to specify the freq_list in the wpa_supplicant config to only 5k channels.<br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>runbsd</span></a></p>
