    @CiotBSD said: OpenShift For people who never heard of it (there's no link in the article …) r/openshift in old and new Reddit: The OpenShift Application Platform is Red Hat's enterprise-ready Kubernetes distribution, optimized for continuous application development and multi-tenant deployment. A professional community to discuss OpenShift and OKD, Red Hat's auto-scaling Platform as a Services (PaaS) for applications. Red Hat OpenShift Build, accelerate, and scale with an application platform that’s built for today's workloads and tomorrow's innovation. Deliver a comprehensive experience to modernize and build new applications, accelerate AI adoption, and fuel growth. Red Hat’s OpenShift vs FreeBSD Jails - Klara Systems (2022) Kubernetes has become a hot technology for managing clusters of applications, but it is famously difficult technology to use and understand. RedShift is an Enterprise cloud platform for running and managing Kubes without tying you into a single platform. FreeBSD is our favorite platform for running applications here at Klara, how does RedShift relate to the technologies that FreeBSD provides and can we create similar environments on top of FreeBSD?

    26/08/07 ⇒ Google Summer of Code 2026 Reports: Port the Enlightenment desktop environment to NetBSD Enlightenment desktop is a low on resources desktop environment without sacrificing on visuals. NetBSD support for this BSD-licensed desktop has been left a few years behind. The aim of this project is to port the newest version of the desktop to pkgsrc and commit upstream portability fixes when necessary to ease future versions updates for NetBSD. https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/gsoc2026_enlightenment

    26/08/11 ⇒ Cleaning costs, or, examining the OpenBSD -fret-clean flag I start with apologies to williewillus, calvin, and reezer on Lobste.rs. Prior to July 9, I would have agreed with you all. But it appears I was wrong. There is no need to further engage; it is clear that critique-from-within is undesirable. Which is perfectly OK, because I stepped away from being on the inside. So let's just keep evaluating OpenBSD's mitigations and we'll continue to learn interesting things along the way. https://briancallahan.net/blog/20260811.html

    HAMMER time. This is the home for all things DragonflyBSD: HAMMER2, virtual kernels, performance tuning, and the unique design choices that set DragonflyBSD apart. A smaller community, but that makes every conversation count. Welcome!

    26/08/03 ⇒ Show memory information on OpenBSD Finding memory information and usage on OpenBSD requires a few commands and the right places to look. If you are used to Linux, then commands like free are no longer available. Let’s have a look at memory details on OpenBSD. https://bsd-audit.com/openbsd/memory-information-on-openbsd/ 26/08/05 ⇒ Running your own mail server with OpenBSD and OpenSMTPD Self-hosting your own services such as a blog, website, or email is a valuable skill. It gives you a better understanding in the technology and usually also fun to do. With privacy under pressure and Big Tech continuing to store our data, this might be a good time to host your own mail server. https://bsd-audit.com/self-hosting/running-your-own-mailserver/

    Many scholarly works on modern politics (real ones, not the ones focusing on the trends being artificially promoted by one side or the other) draw the political spectrum as a line graph with moderates in the middle and the left/right heading off in their respective directions. My personal observation is that this graph should not be a line but a circle. Starting with moderates and branching off as before, but both sides ending up at absolute totalitarianism regardless of which side you take. @tomaoki your model is correct and on my graph the ideals would be located at the 90 degree and 270 degree positions with anarchy at the 135 and 225 positions.

    @grahamperrin said: A user group solely for locals to meet in person and, occasionally, online? Exactly. I was part of my Computing Society at university; it was a great way to meet, learn, and share. I haven't attended a LUG/BUG in years... I miss being part of a 3rd place for Unix nerds and am up to try and steward a group.
