    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!

    NextBSD goal, mission and visions · nextbsd-redux · Discussion #406 The first of Joe's responses was last week. Two highlights: … one person's trash is another persons treasure. … – and: Download Server (The preview you see today, with after the superset finishes a few more touches like pkg hook to create LaunchDaemons) Download App (Cross platform management app) Download Desktop (Gershwin) I think that when these key things roll out more, is how it will better align with the rally cry. That said I've wanted to do some research excursions and deviations out of interest here and there … August 15 2026 - Linux compat work, ARM64 ISO lands, and KMS drivers for virtualization (WIP) … I want virtualization on Apple silicon to work better than any other BSD starting with UTM as a first target via QEMU and the native hypervisor working as a follow up stretch goal if it can be done. …

    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.
