Made a lot of progress on the BastilleBSD 15.1-RELEASE image in the past 24hrs! Hopefully only a few more days of testing before it's ready for wider use.What must-have packages, tweaks or changes do you make to your fresh FreeBSD installs?#FreeBSD #BastilleBSD

#FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE is out!https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/relnotes/https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/announce/There are too many people to thank individually here but big shout-outs go to:Colin Percival, Release Engineer Extraordinaire and Professional Cat Herder. You wrangle the zoo like you were born to it.The security team who rightly shoveled as many fixes from upstream projects and internal ones into this release so we don't have to patch it. Your efforts are substantial and gratefully appreciated.srcmgr team who diagnosed and whipped up a fix for some of the weirdest boot loader issues I've seen in a long time.ports team who had their bits in place for the release weeks ago, and we could use and test them all through the release cycle.The docs team who made the release notes better than ever before, updated the website, tweaked the links, and finagled the manpages. The handbook never looked so good!The clusteradm team who make pushing "the bits" out all over the world look like it was instant.To the hundreds of committers and contributors who put time, energy, and love into this release, as always.Sponsors from Fastly.com and Amazon.com who fund a lot of the speedy package updates and downloads we now enjoy, and the many sites around the world running donated hardware and network facilities, all over the globe.A special thanks to contributors @markmcb and @thismarkp who worked for many months on the website redesign. Everybody who worked on the announcement is riffing off your work. It was a long time fermenting from within the system, and I'm very grateful for your patience.And finally, to our RC testers who persevered through a longer-than-expected cycle, to give us another fine and well-polished release. We couldn't do this without you.

https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/freebsd-ai-assisted-vulnerability-discovery-project-launch/ … the key goal of reducing the number of exploitable vulnerabilities in the FreeBSD source code. The 6-month project is being funded by a grant from the Alpha Omega project. The funds will be used to engage FreeBSD Security Team members under fixed-term contracts to find and patch vulnerabilities. The Security Team’s access to publicly available AI models and tokens will be provided free of charge. AI will be used for vulnerability discovery and analysis only, all patches will be manually created. … In GitHub: all-projects/AI-assisted-vulnerability-discovery at main · FreeBSDFoundation/all-projects FreeBSD Receives Funding To Launch AI-Assisted Vulnerability Discovery - Phoronix discussion via https://fosstodon.org/@governa/116755744623083032 @governa@fosstodon.org FreeBSD AI-assisted Vulnerability Discovery Project launch | The FreeBSD Forums Cross-posted to r/freebsd in Reddit.

@cullum A nice guide overall! I would consider using doas instead of sudo for security and simplicity's sake.

@delta @feld@bikeshed.party @outofcreativity Thank YOU!

@DianeBruce @bsdtv i did, back in 2023. Great, indeed!

Yes, just check https://download.freebsd.org/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/15.1/ and there they are!

Wifi kexts load but I need to port some 80211 stuff to integrate wifi into configd, etc. More to come. … … Mach IPC, launchd (replaces /sbin/init), configd/IPconfiguration (replaces netif), IOkit (replaces devmatch, devd). Resulting in automatic graphics detection, automatic networking with state change handling, service supervision, parallel startup to name a few things. I have other ideas beyond Darwin components like porting smb3 from illumos that I have been brewing about for a long time. New frameworks for jails, bhyve. The equivalent of dockerhub for jails. Management tools comparable to this https://www.hexbsd.org (an earlier creation of mine). A revived NAS appliance. A Gershwin on NextBSD image (desktop appliance).
