Have any of you found a less pricey accommodation in Zagreb for EuroBSDCon than the listed ones on https://eurobsdcon.org?
A bed and some outlet is all I need.
Even with the discount more than a 100€ just to sleep (pr. night) is just way off for my budget!

At EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb: "Liberating the social web using *BSD" by Jeroen - @h3artbl33d - and Stefano Marinelli, see https://events.eurobsdcon.org/2025/talk/PJJLFV/
Schedule at https://events.eurobsdcon.org/2025/schedule/
To register https://2025.eurobsdcon.org/registration.html
events.eurobsdcon.orgLiberating the social web using *BSD EuroBSDCon 2025The Fediverse is the reclaimed, social web. With federated social platforms like Mastodon and Peertube everyone is able to host their community on the Fediverse, communicating with others on different communities, without borders. In this talk Jeroen and Stefano go over their experiences hosting the Fediverse and other services on *BSD instances. What are the lessons learned and how is the experience administering an instance, a couple of years in?
Stefano is the admin for bsd.cafe, Jeroen is the admin for exquisite.social. Both run on *BSD and are beacons for the *BSD minded folks on the Fediverse.
At EuroBSDcon 2025 in Zagreb: "Network Management with the OpenBSD Packet Filter Toolset" by Peter N. M. Hansteen, Tom Smyth, Max Stucchi, see https://events.eurobsdcon.org/2025/talk/FW39CX/
Schedule at https://events.eurobsdcon.org/2025/schedule/
To register https://2025.eurobsdcon.org/registration.html
events.eurobsdcon.orgNetwork Management with the OpenBSD Packet Filter Toolset EuroBSDCon 2025The OpenBSD Packet Filter (PF) is at the core of the network management toolset available to professionals working with the OpenBSD and FreeBSD operating systems.
Understanding the PF subsystem and the set of networking tools that interact with it is essential to building and maintaining a functional environment.
The present session will both teach networking and security principles and provide opportunity for hands-on operation of the extensive network tools available on OpenBSD and FreeBSD in a lab environment.
Basic to intermediate understanding of TCP/IP networking is expected and required for this session.
Topics covered include
The basics of and network design and taking it a bit further
Building rulesets
Keeping your configurations readable and maintainable
Seeing what your traffic is really about with your friend tcpdump(8)
Filtering, diversion, redirection, Network Address Translation
Handling services that require proxying (ftp-proxy and others)
Address tables and daemons that interact with your setup through them
The whys and hows of network segmentation, DMZs and other separation techniques
Tackling noisy attacks and other pattern recognition and learning tricks
Annoying spammers with spamd
Basics of and not-so basic traffic shaping
Monitoring your traffic
Resilience, High Availability with CARP and pfsync
Troubleshooting: Discovering and correcting errors and faults (tcpdump is your friend)
Your network and its interactions with the Internet at large
Common mistakes in internetworking and peering
Keeping the old IPv4 world in touch with the new of IPv6
The tutorial is lab centered and fast paced. Time allowing and to the extent necessary, we will cover recent developments in the networking tools and variations between the implementations in the OpenBSD and FreeBSD operating systems.
Participants should bring a laptop for the hands on labs part and for note taking. The format of the session will be compact lectures interspersed with hands-on lab excercises based directly on the theory covered in the lecture parts.
This session is an evolutionary successor to previous sessions. Slides for the most recent version of the PF tutorial session are up at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/pf_fullday.pdf, to be updated with the present version when the session opens.

Dear friends of the #BSDCafe
Exactly two years ago, on 20th July 2023, I made a post announcing a new project: The BSD Cafe.
It was an idea I had been thinking about for a while, but never had the courage to truly take on. Yet, in those days, I pushed past my doubts, finalized the last bits of the setup, and decided to go public.
I never imagined the warmth, the kindness, the support I would receive. Friends started signing up, new friends arrived, and two years later I can proudly say that the community we’ve built is truly amazing.
The BSDs as our guiding star, technology as our shared passion, and - above all - acceptance and open-mindedness as our core values.
Supporters, not haters.
I’m genuinely happy about all this, and in my upcoming talk at #EuroBSDCon I’ll be sharing both technical and human sides of this experience.
Happy birthday, BSD Cafe. And thank you all, my friends, for making this such a wonderful journey.
The Cafe is always open. The coffee machine is always warm.
Your Barista,
Stefano

YOU!
The @bsdtv BSD A/V Team in conjunction with @bsdcan and @EuroBSDCon could use YOUR HELP with:
1. Locating official project slide templates
2. Validating them for readability on a projector and for the visually limited (I hear there are fonts that are dyslexia-friendy)
3. Integrating best practices into semi-official event slides for those presenters who simply want "insert content here"
No, I did not say required.
Thank you!
For those who missed last night’s updates, I’m thrilled to announce that @h3artbl33d and I will be co-presenting a talk at #EuroBSDCon: Liberating the Social Web Using #BSD.
We’ll be sharing our experiences and technical decisions along the way.
I’ll be focusing on the BSD Cafe - its services, the story behind it, and most importantly, the human and motivational factors that make this community so special.
Always remember: #OwnYourData !
Stay tuned for more updates!
I need to boost my overseas contacts and relationships, so it seems I'm going to Croatia in September. I guess they've forgotten how much trouble I caused last time? #eurobsdcon
Yay! Or maybe AIEEE! Seems like I'm giving a talk at #EuroBSDCon again this year!
Anyone who has been following me here for a while will know I'm a hopeless #retrocomputing nerd, and I will make no attempt at hiding it during my talk:
Dirty Tricks: Using nginx and Lua to thwart bots and skript kiddies
I'll (try to) show how you can protect your #BBS from drive-by portscans and your production systems from #DDoS attacks using all the wrong tools.
Dietary warning: may contain traces of floppies.
