Ah, nice! Ambermoon.net (linux) runs fine with the Linuxulator on FreeBSD https://github.com/Pyrdacor/Ambermoon.netAlas, off to Lyramion, then. Heading for Twinlake!#RunBSD #FreeBSD #Amiga #Ambermoon #Retrogames
In today’s episode of "You can’t pronounce the hostname but you can hopefully read the content", an overview of the two #ThinkCentre that I recently got, centered towards power consumption when running #FreeBSD, #NetBSD and #OpenBSD.TL;DR: not bad at all!https://www.tumfatig.net/2026/what-about-thinkcentre-m710q-m720q-and-bsd/
@kithrup Hey! I’m coming over from Italy, so as an EU citizen I shouldn’t need a permit to live and work in the Republic of Ireland. I picked Ireland for the next few years mainly to brush up my English, and also because the job market back home doesn’t really match my interests.
#FreeBSD there's an update for #UptimeKuma #PortsLife https://reviews.freebsd.org/D60093 bringing it to v2.5.5 now, testing welcomed #WorksOnMyMachine on arm64 already.If you're using this port please let me know, I'd like to keep a few early beta testers of new versions in the loop!
@martin Thanks, Martin, but I'm happy with Fedora KDE Plasma at the moment. I use Lenovo hardware and Lenovo has a partnership with Red Hat (RHEL / Fedora) & Canonical (Ubuntu), so the driver support is very good. I'm still mainly using Windows for commercial apps like Maya & Houdini. I keep a copy of AlmaLinux around for RHEL compatible apps in case it's needed. I might circle back to FreeBSD in the future as the tech landscape constantly changesOf interest few yrs ago https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO

@peteorrall Poudriere supports port overlays. You can make your own tree, point Poudriere to it as an overlay over the normal tree and have packages from both built.
I'm in the market for an ARM SBC for use in an RV. I need USB-C power. Wifi and Bluetooth.What are the best FreeBSD supported options? #FreeBSD #ARM #SBC
@santi exactly. ZFS loves the ram, and is also kind enough to release it when needed (but on illumos and FreeBSD better than Linux). I need to re-test it on NetBSD as at the Dev Summit they told me that, in NetBSD 11.x, it's much better.
Ok so I wanted to try Stalwart… It’s such an half-baked product that it was totally unusable on a Vnet Jail (it’s ok on a regular Jail). Also, people have so many problems with the version 0.16, it’s not the kind of trouble I want my email stack to be.This is sad.#stalwart #freebsd #jail #selfhosting
@benedikt_lauenburg FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and alike, are a family of Unix-like operating systems derived from the original Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) developed at the University of California, Berkeley.
