@stefano @cos I think I'd rely more on snapshots and zfs send if more storage solutions supported it. I can't just always rent another VPS. Sometimes something like a Hetzner storage box with restic is better for my use case.

@EuroBSDCon Lazy sunday? Where is your head at?

@mroach @subnetspider I don't think it's quite right. ZFS can quietly back down on it's memory usage, but it's still memory hungry.But when you have at least some leeway, usefulness and convenience wins.At least for me.

If you use #FreeBSD jails, the feature described on this call is HUGE.It adds support for init at PID 1, allowing for more host-like behavior and should allow systemd to work in a Linux compatibility jail.Consider it a request for comments on the architecture with many, “how should this behave” questions.From: @dexterhttps://bsd.network/@dexter/117278219123418481

@pertho I haven’t tried this before but I think you do have to run the exporter on the host, yeah. Jails shouldn’t be able to introspect each other. Without VNET I think binding to the jail IP is probably the most straightforward.Does the jail exporter drop privileges for the HTTP server? If not, that seems risky running as root. You might want to instead dump to a text file and then use the node_exporter TextFile collector. As the host, you can write to an area the jail can read from.

@wearetheprojekt Yeah, I was actually thinking about this hybrid approach today. FreeBSD already uses something quite similar for graphics drivers.If BRLTTY had a BSD-like license, I would have imported it into the FreeBSD base system. The problem is that its license doesn't allow that. So anything we use from BRLTTY would have to be installed manually by the user, `pkg install brltty`.For speech synthesis, there shouldn't be any licensing issues. We already have some proof-of-concept work showing that the virtual console can communicate with a speech synthesizer, and there are several synthesizers with BSD-like licenses that we could use.So they could potentially be available starting from the OS installer.

@david_chisnall Wow, thanks for the thorough reply - much appreciated!I was unaware of the issues surrounding the quarterly ports branch. Since packages default to quarterly as well, are any of these problems present there?So far, using Poudriere has been great though I have run into an interesting issue. gnupg fails compiling in Poudriere consistently but builds just fine using standard Ports. Both Ports and Poudriere are using the same branch. Been scratching my head over this one.
