RE: https://mastodon.social/@emaste/116597496244280489We booted Debian and FreeBSD 15 using QEMU accelerated with bhyve/vmm for the first time. This is an epic milestone for the FreeBSD community and beyond ! : r/freebsd <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tk0eja/we_booted_debian_and_freebsd_15_using_qemu/> – Mario Zio.＂Further development is needed...a lot of development...but anyway this is a storic moment....we can use another hypervisor. This time in cooperation with the storic and mature QEMU. FreeBSD is second to none.This success has been possible thanks to the competence of Abhinav Chavali who started this project for the GSOC 2025 ; thanks bro.It's built on top of dumrich's work. …＂#FreeBSD #bhyve #QEMU #Linux #Debian @freebsd SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU - FreeBSD Wiki — <https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU>Cc @stefano @dexter @seanwbruno @dch

https://posixcafe.org/blogs/2024/01/05/0/ @moody@hj.9fs.net I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine about some talking points that Jonathan Blow made regarding the "UNIX Philosophy" during his interview on Oxide's On The Metal podcast. I'll place an excerpt of the provided transcript here. … … There is this idea that to be UNIX means you have multiple tiny programs talking to each other over pipes, and some even take it further to implicate that this communication must be plain text. This classification is a deep misunderstanding of the ideas put forward by UNIX, and yet is a position I see many of my peers share. … Also: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@jutty/113028308196028999 @jutty@tilde.zone https://lobste.rs/s/dysrh2 Misconceptions about the UNIX Philosophy – Jacob Moody, Posixcafe : r/unix

@gta1998 We have an issue with a realtek device and vnet/bridges starting with FreeBSD 14.4, maybe try ifconfig re0 -txcsum -rxcsumand see if this helps.

Exactly! Its goal is to reduce GAFAM's dominance (particularly: Google) It "launch" another excellente/amazing/terrible initiative named "Les Chatons" (real FR term, translated too in EN) : CHATONS – kittens in french – is the Collective of Hosters Alternative, Transparent, Open, Neutral and Solidarity. This collective aims to bring together structures offering free, ethical and decentralised online services in order to allow users to quickly find alternatives that respect their data and privacy to the services offered by GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft). CHATONS is a collective initiated by the association Framasoft in 2016 following the success of its campaign De-google-ify Internet. See: https://www.chatons.org/en

… Neither Ivy nor George had children. After George's death, I heard his voice in conversation with Anne and Rose. All three of them were alive. Can you guess the hidden history that explains the voice? It was not a voice from beyond the grave. Not quite. It was George's son, whose existence had been hidden from George's sisters (Anne and Rose) and everyone else in the known family, as far as we could tell. Barnardo's – things were very different in the 1950s. Fast-forward to when Anne (my mum) and Rose met my cousin for the first time. I stood in my mum's kitchen, making a pot of tea for him and his newfound family, listening to them in the front room, thinking: "it's George". George's son spoke like him, despite them never meeting each other (in living memory), and the resemblance was more than just a regional accent. Mysterious and lovely. Hidden histories …

https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/504 mentioned Framaforms. From the same period in my Firefox history (July 2025): Yakforms. Related: Oubliez Framaforms, faites de la place à Yakforms ! Forget Framaforms, make some room for Yakforms ! I don't have a saved password, I do have this in my Firefox history: Work items · Yakforms Docs · GitLab – which probably means that I was unable to use Yakforms at the time. An intention to report an issue. https://redd.it/1m973go (July 2025) reminds me: I chose to use a CryptPad instance. Specifically: https://pad.envs.net/

Hmm. @Darknessraptor@bsd.cafe does not work as a link.

dhcpd and unbound in FreeBSD jails The other day, I used FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi card to get a redundant DHCP server and DNS resolver working together with an OpenBSD server. It works great. But another FreeBSD server is available and I don’t really need yet another gadget powered on. So I moved both the DHCP and DNS services to this machine. While I was there, I took the opportunity to put them into their own jails. Because, you know, privilege escalation… https://www.tumfatig.net/2026/dhcpd-and-unbound-in-freebsd-jails/ ping: https://framapiaf.org/@joel@tumfatig.net/116599962350361525

Hi. About Nginx: Rift vulnerability: On my OpenBSD (actually on 7.8) server, I use Nginx (v1.28.x) ­— I known, normally tomorrow, in few hours, v7.9 will be release, and Nginx will release with 1.30.1 — and I've some rewrite rules. As we can see on this page, I rewroted my rules. Is-it needed on OpenBSD? Your opinion about, plz. In any case, I think — maybe I'm wrong?! — that it's a good idea to get into the habit of “filtering” rewrite rules this way, don't you think? is-not-it?

Today on undeadly log: Migrating mail servers from exim to OpenSMTPD (smtpd) is fun and useful Like (we suspect) quite a few of our readers, undeadly.org co-editor Peter Hansteen runs a mail service and settled on exim as the reasonable alternative to the classic sendmail way back when. However, that software has had its share of security issues over the years, and during the preparations for the OpenBSD 7.9 release, the ports maintainers decided that… https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260516064650
