Report of the day, 19:30:

I’ve finished preparing the talk for Friday. Unfortunately, it’s not as I would have liked: the 25+5-minute limit is extremely restrictive, and talking about the BSDs in such a short time means having to skip over some fundamental points. Specifically, I will need to reduce the emphasis on the initial part, the less technical and more “motivational” section. I would have needed at least 40 minutes. 25 is really too little for a talk worthy of the name.

On the plus side, in the next few days, I will have to set up a new, quite interesting setup based on the BSDs. I’m considering using both FreeBSD and OpenBSD – the power of jails, the security of OpenBSD as an endpoint – unfortunately, I can’t provide many details as I’ve been asked to keep it confidential. Still, it will be very interesting for me to implement.

I’ve also modified several reverse proxies, switching from nginx to haproxy – I’ve integrated Prometheus and Grafana as well, and the ability to impose granular limits has improved the management of traffic spikes for FediMeteo. I’m really satisfied with the results.

Interested in #learning about #NaturePhotography ? The inaugural International Speaker Series starts this weekend featuring some of the world's leading photographers! I'm delighted to be moderating the series, with Colin Prior's talk "Finding Your Own Voice" kicking things off this Sunday, 16th March @ 19:00GMT.

#Wikipedia: In #psychology, mental time travel is the capacity to mentally reconstruct personal events from the #past (episodic #memory) as well as to imagine possible scenarios in the future (episodic foresight/episodic #future #thinking).

I'm starting to prepare the ideas for the talk I'll give at OSDay (osday.dev/agenda) next month. One of the issues I often face is explaining to people that just because I appreciate and prefer using the BSDs doesn't mean I'm AGAINST Linux. I never liked the "distro wars" even twenty-five years ago because I’ve always thought that, in the end, we’re all heading in the same direction.

The message I’ll try to convey isn’t that I don’t want to use Linux, but that the BSDs are more suited to the ways I use them, and why, in my opinion, they can also be useful to those who will attend. In other words, I’ll suggest giving them a try.

In an extremely polarized world (even in tech), it probably won’t be easy.
Just before the Covid emergency, I was offered a "challenge" talk (by a Windows sysadmin I know). People, he said, love this kind of format. I declined. For me, it's just about using the right tool for the right purpose, not a war.

Dialogue, not battle.

Salut les #Mastonautes de l'#AccessibiliTeam !
Avec ma collègue #Sourde, on cherche à tester la visio avec #vélotypie automatique (ça transcrirait en sous-titre quand je parle, et elle signe, écrit ou oralise pour communiquer avec moi). Pour l'instant on est sur un peu de #LSF et bcp de tchat.
On a un nuage #nextcloud équipé de #Talk
Est ce qu'il y a la possibilité de transcription sur Talk ? Sur une autre plateforme ?
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses et re-pouets 🙏🏽

🚨 Fresh off the press today! 📰 Our new article in #Language and #Cognition shows that in #casual #conversations, humans #talk about #social #topics a lot — even more than we thought before, with 85% of conversation being about social stuff! 🗣️ Huge thanks to my co-authors and the amazing student helpers who patiently coded the texts.

If you're discussing how much humans chat about social topics (tl;dr: they talk a lot), please cite us! 🙌
