@xenotar The FreeBSD daemon comes from a batch Jordan Hubbard ordered but didn't like because, according to him, they looked like "toritos" (little bulls); I liked them, though, and attached my "little bull" daemon to the department's core switch-router. And there it stayed until the young woman came to visit us.
A coworker's youngest daughter is getting married. I’ve known her since she was born; one day he brought her to work when she was three or four, and I gave her a FreeBSD daemon doll that she still keeps to this day. She and her future husband are planning a honeymoon trip from the north to the south of Italy (and back). For modern weddings, gifts are chosen online, and I selected a pizza in Naples, an ice cream in Milan, and wines in Tuscany. Unfortunately, dear Barista, I didn't find a tiramisu option. I wish the young engineer and her husband great happiness and a wonderful trip to Italy.
@francois It is the "01" son—a senator and presidential candidate—who is a traitor to the homeland, alongside the "03" son, a fugitive from the law residing in the U.S. with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio as his protectors. The father is imprisoned for attempting a coup d'état.
@pepdmin I left Proton when Elon Musk accused the Brazilian justice system of censorship because the Apple Store was throwing an error while downloading ProtonVPN (even though Google Play was fine). Without verifying the facts, Proton endorsed Musk's lie, demonstrating alignment with that fascist. I still have a burner email address that I use on mastodon.social; I used it here by mistake, but I’ll close it as soon as I start paying for Tuta. I don't want to abuse the system by using more than one free account. I also saw that shameful thing Proton did to the French activist—it was deplorable and disgusting.
@pepdmin I did something similar in 2024/2025, closing my accounts on X, Facebook, Instagram, and even Proton, and migrating to pCloud and Tutamail (I had already been using the Fediverse since 2019). I’ve never had WhatsApp and rarely use Signal; I still need to complete my migration from Gmail/Drive, which I hope to finish by 2027.
I also view WhatsApp as the biggest barrier preventing people from leaving US Big Tech, and I consider it the most invasive of all their systems.
@francois Trump's punitive tariffs against Brazil are partly due to the PIX payment system—which is free and universally available to individuals—as it has been gaining ground in a space previously monopolized by Visa and Mastercard. Even street vendors accept it. Trump intends to intervene in this year's presidential election to try to install a puppet who has already visited the White House and promised to reverse this situation.
@stefano@bsd.cafe Where can I download the Linux builds? I would like to test littleFedi on Armbian (32 and 64 bits)
Thank you Stefano !
