#linux #networking connection (device is running moOde audio, effectively Debian Trixie): on a system with both wired and wireless connections (with addresses in the same subnet), how do I prioritise use of the wired connection, while keeping the wireless in case of connectivity issues?

🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟

Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.

BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.

The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.

The main server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also present and have been able to move individual jails to different, more powerful, machines.

Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.

Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.

The instance started empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.

Join us at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.

Our wiki, located at https://wiki.bsd.cafe, features essential links and articles related to the BSD world. It provides an overview of the tools, services, rules, uptime, and more information about the BSD Cafe Services.

A Matrix server, a Miniflux RSS Reader, the Wiki itself, and the BlendIT Lemmy instance are all part of the BSD Cafe services, with more to come.

Tonight the waves of bot traffic hitting many of the servers I manage have intensified, including Brew on BSD Cafe, but not only that. Honestly, the feeling I have now is no longer the same as it was some time ago (AI scrapers), but that there are real disruption operations going on. I can see it’s much more concentrated around certain providers and certain datacenters. If I block some countries like China, the numbers drop dramatically.

I still haven’t figured out whether there’s something specific and targeted happening (a broad DDoS) or if they’re still scrapers, but they honestly seem really dumb.

Maybe we should just create an alternative network and leave the Internet to these entities.
At this point they’re just talking to themselves anyway.
