JMAP is a newer HTTP and JSON protocol that replaces IMAP, SMTP for sending as well as contact and calendar syncing.

This 20 min “Destroy All Monsters” talk on it by @rjbs from @fastmail is both imformative and entertaining.

💡 Turn a Raspberry Pi into your own NAS with FreeBSD!

Building a simple NAS doesn’t require expensive hardware.

In our latest blog post, we walk through how to build a lightweight Network Attached Storage (NAS) system using FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi. With the latest FreeBSD release and tools like Samba, you can quickly set up reliable network file sharing on minimal hardware.

In our latest video, we walk through how to install and run FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi and turn it into a lightweight Network Attached Storage (NAS) system.

If you’ve been curious about running FreeBSD on single-board computers or building your own NAS, this is a great place to start.

Watch it on our YouTube channel and let us know what you’d build with it: https://youtu.be/xqFiTRYo1fk

This is a great example of why we don't accept machine translations of Contributor Covenant, by the way. Words matter.

When you visit https://archlinux32.org/ and it gets blocked due to stupid laws. They blocked visitors from Brazil and California.

Soon, pretty much all you will get this message on many such Linux and open source projects.

You get "Access Restricted" message on Arch Linux 32 which read as follows: Direct access to archlinux32.org has been suspended for your region. Due to legislative changes - specifically Brazil Law No. 15.211/2025 (ECA Digital) and California AB 1043 - the project cannot provide services in certain jurisdictions. It notes that as a community run Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) project, they lack the legal and financial resources to implement the mandated "auditable age assurance" and "identity verification" mechanisms. To avoid catastrophic fines that could close the project globally, they have implemented a regional block. What this means for you:

I'm looking for full-time work!

I work at the intersection of social and technical systems, and specialize in building up people, programs, partnerships, and organizations around open source.

I have a deep track record in complex community relations, am fluent in the nuts and bolts of many technologies, and have spanned governance, org development, nonprofit and people management, comms, marketing, events, and beyond.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.91 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31777

GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running, hopefully they will complete without issues?

Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it!

A dark image. The background is unclear and blurry. On the foreground on the left there is a huge circle, inside of which a profile picture belonging to @RussSharek@mastodon.art. On the other side, a bit lower in the frame we see a fediverse logo, but on fire. This is the logo of the Fireside Fedi show. In between those two elements a text is written.
