While both are foundational figures in free and open-source software, their distinct philosophies and approaches have led to a separation in their work. …

Good for you! I've lost count of the number of problems with Nvidia on Linux, whereas AMD's support is simply excellent—or is becoming so… If the situation is better with FreeBSD, so much the better. On OpenBSD, it's better to have an AMD than an Nvidia!

This is my FreeBSD music collection. It consists of songs inspired by FreeBSD releases, experiments, and desktop and server experiences that have become part of everyday life. It was built using Suno AI and then tweaked and polished each one. https://interfacecraft.online/blog/2026/freebsd-music-collection/

Since it is schedule for a June 16 release (more or less), I am going to wait till then to give it a whirl with my test NUC before going on to my Framework 13A. Omfreebdy looks like it will set up most of the stuff I wanted, so let's see what happens.

⇒ (06/05) Aggressive caching for a Mastodon reverse proxy: what to cache, what to never cache, and why content negotiation will eventually betray you how to cache Mastodon with nginx on FreeBSD while handling content negotiation correctly, covering cache keys for HTML/ActivityPub/JSON variants, bypass rules for private traffic, and TTL strategies for assets, media, and dynamic pages. The guide includes production-tested configurations for thundering-herd protection, failover, and logging to verify cache behavior. https://it-notes.dragas.net/2026/06/05/aggressive_caching_for_a_mastodon_reverse_proxy/

⇒ (06/05) FreeBSD Jails The classic system administration changed a lot in a decade. Virtualization and container technology went through a remarkable improvement. (…) FreeBSD Jails don’t compete with containers. They don’t substitute virtual machines. Jails just fill a gap. https://tomsitcafe.com/2026/06/05/freebsd-jails/

I agree and this is what politicians don't get.
