    https://www.reddit.com/r/zfs/comments/1uo72bi/bzfs1230_is_out/ … bzfs is a CLI for reliable ZFS snapshot replication using zfs send/receive and SSH. It is meant for the boring-but-important corner of infrastructure where "probably replicated" is not the vibe. The main bit in this release: bzfs can now drive recursive resumable ZFS stream packages …

    Upgrading with Distribution Sets … Also, there's nothing about FreeBSD-ports-kmods.

  • Partitioning without /usr/src and /usr/obj

    Hi! So I have a small VPS with OpenBSD on it and I anticipate that disk space will not be enough, so my question is, if I know that I will never compile the whole system from source, can I just repurpose the space allocated to /usr/obj and /usr/src and mount those partitions where they're needed? Or is this a really really bad idea? It would free up about 10GB (out of 40GB total).

    NIS+ got removed from Solaris back at the end of 2009. So it got removed from OpenSolaris and thus illumos, as that was before the fork. This was announced long before. As a heavy NIS+ user at the time, we were somewhat dismayed to read the announcement. Sun said it would be no problem, LDAP was a superior replacement. We actually tried LDAP, and to call it an unmitigated disaster would be far too generous. Apart from the excessive hardware requirements, endless bugs, woeful performance, and lack of basic functionality, there was an almost total lack of administrative tooling. My understanding is that NIS itself is also slated for the chop in Solaris 11 at some point. In theory, you could reinstate NIS+ in illumos - we have the whole commit history so reverting 6874309 wouldn't be so bad. Whether you could get it to work properly is another matter.

    The redditor wrote: … Thank you, Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, for this freedom and cooperation. … grahamperrin said: some suspicion that AI was involved Twisting the original statement, I asked Reddit (in a private browsing window): Do Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds cooperate with each other? Sourced from thirteen subreddits, Reddit's AI-generated answers began: Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds do not actively cooperate; their relationship is often characterized by ideological differences rather than direct collaboration. 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/

    hardware corruption?! Sometimes, errors occur when the USB connection is physically disturbed. Other times, there's no obvious explanation. I might be hands-off, with my cat nowhere near, at the time.

    Port knocking is mostly a bad idea. But people keep wanting to do it, for some false sense of security. If you don't consider it a security control but a way to keep garbage out of your logs, it might be valid. In my case I'm using an old USG Pro 4 running OpenBSD as my firewall and I'd prefer to avoid writing stuff to the logs, as I'd prefer the flash not to wear out sooner than needed, definitely not thanks to background radiation on the internet. https://dgl.cx/2026/06/ssh-port-knocking-with-openbsd
