Hi, if you are following me because you think I am the dipshit who writes books about the People's Republic of China, I am not that dipshit.

I am a completely different dipshit.

When I started this instance, I envisioned it as a social network .

Like the hallway track at #BSDCan . Or when we wander the streets at #EuroBSDCon . And like when we hit up the bars at #AsiaBSDCon .

Chat about anything! Everything! Code is cool, but so is anything in your noggin. Good thing so many of you are already doing that .

/me puts Admin Hat on.

Hi everybody!

The bsd.network instance has a Code Of Conduct, viewable at https://bsd.network/terms or via the "Terms and Conditions" link that is sprinkled around a few places.

The TL;DR is "be cool unto others". However, since society at large has demonstrated they can't be cool, we had to write out a bunch of things.

Your local Admins are @aag, @pamela, and @phessler.

Current status: #Garbage!!!

Hey, users of bsd.network. Be cool unto people, and people will be cool unto you. Interacting with people is a *privilege* not a *right*. This is a private place owned by me and @aag and we want it to be friendly and nice.

We don't want to have to swing the admin-hammer to correct your behaviour!

But we will.

I have created a #Librepay account for donations to me. I intend to use any monies to cover my open-source work, and for hosting this instance. https://liberapay.com/phessler/

Since donations through the service are anonymous, I don't know if, or how much, people have donated.

bsd.network is now live!

I have pre-reserved the names for the projects, and a few others. If you would like to take control of those, please email the admins so we can ensure the proper people have them.

queues were very short, so we're done.

happy tooting!

the butts held, we're back and catching up on the queue.

it's that time again. Once more we'll be doing a quick upgrade of the BSD.network hypervisor.

more butt holding will be happening tomorrow morning. Around 06:00 UTC (~8am CEST), I'll be doing another upgrade of the BSD.network Hypervisor.

the butts held, we're upgraded!

queue runners are doing their work, catching up on the last 20 minutes.

happy tooting!
🐘💨

hold on to your butts!

BSD.network will be upgraded again at 09:30 UTC, roughly 15 minutes from now.

Short downtime, but downtime nonetheless.

With the #OpenBSD hackathon going on, I'll be taking the opportunity to restart to chase updated patches for #vmm. Expect short notice, but I'll try to update this thread when we're doing the work.

and we're fully caught up! the bsd.network instance is noticeably faster now.

thanks for tooting!

Queue runners are running, the instance is now catching up.

butt holding seems to have helped.

Guests have two CPUs, front ends are running, bringing up the queue runners!

Lets do this thing.

Taking the BSD.network instance down to upgrade the hypervisor.

Hold on to your butts.

FYI I'll be updating the bsd.network hypervisior to -current, and enable SMP!

Depends on how early I wake up, but I'm currently aiming at 08:00 UTC (10am CEST).

ok, we're all caught up. Thanks all!

the bsd.network instance is back online, giving it a bit to see how long the queues grow to.
