@ianthetechie @poes @fredrik_brandt I installed garage, then started a rclone from the old minio to the garage one. After more or less 40 gb, it started to slow down. At 60 gb, it was almost blocked, with all the server's cores at 100%. I stopped it, retried a couple of times and had the same result. I fired up SeaweedFS and it rcloned at the same initial speed until the end.

@FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.socialhow did you introduce someone to FreeBSD?By providing free possibilities to learn and explore #FreeBSD on real systems at @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe

@svaclav thanks!

https://klarasystems.com/articles/native-inotify-in-freebsd/ – Mark Johnston A seemingly simple file monitoring problem exposed deep limitations in FreeBSD’s traditional EVFILT_VNODE approach. This article explores how race conditions, scalability issues, and Linux compatibility challenges ultimately led to the development of a native inotify implementation for FreeBSD 15. … @klarainc@bird.makeup (automated)

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 …

07/01 ⇒ Running Garage in a FreeBSD Jail My work at $DAYJOB that involves a lot of work with data pipeline these days. Particularly the design of new and better ones, which help us serve users with better data (more advanced processing, better cartographic decisions, etc.). https://ianwwagner.com//running-garage-in-a-freebsd-jail.html

26/07/17 ⇒ Updating FreeBSD 15.0 to FreeBSD 15.1 (via pkgbase) I decided that Thursday morning at 8:27 AM was the right time to start my first update from FreeBSD 15.0 to 15.1 – all my hosts are now on pkgbase. I used the pgkbasify script. Now it’s time to update again. https://dan.langille.org/2026/07/17/updating-freebsd-15-0-to-freebsd-15-1-via-pkgbase/

@iaruffell Thank you for the suggestions! I wrote about the current state of accessibility under another post of yours. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions. I am more than happy to receive feedback on how to improve FreeBSD accessibility.

@grahamperrin Thanks! I read both the comment and the reply. It looks like, conceptually, we came up with the same solution. The main question is what data he used to generate the JSON file and under what license that data is distributed.

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. …

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

Development Updates - July 30 2026

It was a simple upgrade, not a minor or major upgrade. Last week: pkgbase major upgrade from FreeBSD 14.4 to 15.1-RC2: an example : r/freebsd

The HUGEST, the MOST TREMENDOUS FreeBSD page-cache write primitive in the history of computing. Many people are saying it. Many. Believe me. https://bumsrake.de/ "Mouarffff"

… Let's move on. It's still quite newsworthy; Cody Franklin used the phrase "recently". Until yesterday, I never heard anyone from TrueNAS or IXsystems talk about the transition. I learnt something new.
