- BUG Meeting: The State of Email, By: Michael W. Lucas
The State of Email, By: Michael W. Lucas\ 2024-07-10 @ 18:45 EDT (22:45 UTC) - NYU Tandon Engineering Building (new), 370 Jay St, 7th Floor kitchen area, Brooklyn (directly across Jay St from National Grid office). Closest subway exits in order are Jay St - MetroTech Station (A, C, R, & F Trains) Borough Hall (4 & 5 Trains).\ Notice: You should RSVP for this meeting at rsvp AT lists.nycbug.org by July 9th.You should receive an auto response email. Your email address is sufficient verification for entry.\ \ "It's impossible to run your own email!" Not quite. But you must do it carefully and correctly. This talk discusses the current state of email, with a focus on the small independent server operator. What do you need to run your own mail? How can you use protocols like DKIM and DMARC without wrecking your ability to communicate with the outside world?\ \ Based on Lucas' book "Run Your Own Mail Server." The first chapter is online\ \ Offsite Participation: We plan to stream MWL Zoom call via NYC\*BUG Website. Q\&A will be via IRC on Libera.chat channel #nycbug - Please preface your questions with '\[Q]'\ \ Michael W. Lucas' name may ring a bell for some in the BSD community. He's writt en several shelves of books. But for anyone who has seen him speak in public during Ante COVID days, it was clear they are mere transcriptions of his rambling presentations. For this NYC\*BUG meeting, he is unlikely to edit out any of his expected corny jokes we endure during his conference presentations.\ \ More likely, you know his name from his grotesque horror fiction. In the same way his technical books are just transcriptions of his presentations, his fictional horror is just a simple reflection of someone who lives in a haunted house filled with (pet) rats in Detroit.\ \ \ More Info:\ <https://www.nycbug.org/index?action=view&id=10698>

- Lots of *BSD sponsorship options open
There are still sponsorship opportunities for BSDCan and going forward with the *BSD conferences. We are building out our AV offerings to help reduce future AV rental expenses.
- BSDCan registration still open
We're less than two weeks out from BSDCan! Read our latest update here: https://blog.bsdcan.org/2024/ We could use some help with registration, so please volunteer if you're interested in stuffing bags and getting to know other volunteers and the conference team.
Let's talk about the first half of the conference: Tutorial Days This is some of the most affordable professional training out there and we're grateful for the talented presenters who have offered their services to the community. We hope you'll check one or two of these sessions out if you're attending in person!
If you get in early, Tuesday evening before the these tutorial days start there will be an informal meetup, the famed "Goat BOF," at Father and Sons (fnsottawa.com) where you can get a bite and say hello.
For our first tutorial day on Wednesday, you can sign up to learn the basics of BGP with Max Stucchi, and dig deeply into the routing protocol that makes the internet work! (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…) Or join Tom Smyth to learn about managing OpenBSD networks with NSH, a command-line interface for network appliances. (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…)
Thursday's tutorials include the conference classic introduction to PF by @pitrh, Max and Tom (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…) and our con chair @mwl will present half day tutorials about TLS (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…) and the hottest of topics: running your own mail server (indico.bsdcan.org/event/1/cont…).
At 5pm on Thursday, after the last tutorials, head on over to the 90 University residence hall and step through the lobby and into the hacker lounge, where we will be handing out registration badges and packets to earlybirds. At 6pm there will be a brief informational Newcomer's Session you don't want to miss, and we hope after that point that con regulars will group up to help take first-time attendees out to see the town! This room will stay open later into the evening so you can hack or visit with friends. Or hack with friends!

I want to run GoToSocial on some *BSD system. Because I am who I am, I went for using NetBSD 10.0 . And because my hypervisor is running bhyve on OmniOS , you get the title of this blog post. Don’t get too anxious, it is quite straightforward. So let the journey begin.

https://www.nycbug.org/index?action=view&id=10696
Demystify ZFS Replication With a Safe and Powerful Approach, by Daniel J. Bell
ZFS is theoretically a powerhouse for data protection and performance, but only if you can dodge its many traps. I'll demonstrate the common ZFS pitfalls and their solutions, along with practical strategies to simplify and scale your backups. I'll also introduce Zelta, a toolkit of management scripts built on Unix fundamentals designed to help you master ZFS with finesse.
