@alfonsosiciliano I definately want to have a look at it. Im playing with #FreeBSD on my T14 Notebook and all Input getting this running as smooth as possible is highly appretiated

@stefano Thank you

It doesn’t always have to be Linux via @ggpsv https://lobste.rs/s/fccz7i #video #freebsdhttps://media.ccc.de/v/gpn24-611-it-doesn-t-always-have-to-be-linux-an-intro-to-freebsd

Looking good, so far.Since the Raspberry Pi doesn't have any RTC, I had to add the following to /etc/rc.conf:ntpd_enable="YES"ntpd_sync_on_start="YES"to get proper time for log entries etc.

@jana thank youuuuuu Jana @stefano

@stefano I did miss the questions at the end … @jana

https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1ty5njr/pkgbase_major_upgrade_from_freebsd_144_to_151rc2/ This upgrade blended: part of the official announcement for 15.1-RC2 – altered for compatibility with the major upgrade part of Emrion's https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/762515 – adapted for my preferred shell, /bin/tcsh. … Packages for the third release candidate, RC3, were not available at the time.

@grahamperrin thanks for the news! Still on 15.0 on my daily driver using the work around. Will check when 15.1 is out

⇒ (06/05) FreeBSD Jails The classic system administration changed a lot in a decade. Virtualization and container technology went through a remarkable improvement. (…) FreeBSD Jails don’t compete with containers. They don’t substitute virtual machines. Jails just fill a gap. https://tomsitcafe.com/2026/06/05/freebsd-jails/

I spent a whole blog post doing #ZFS on-disk math by hand - just to corrupt one byte and watch #OpenZFS healing process. Interested?Feel free to join the journey into the on-disk jungle.https://oshogbo.com/blog/90/#storage #FreeBSD #Linux #Storage #Filesystem

Has anyone installed Sylve on a system with jails (bastille) as well as a configured Samba already present?Did it do anything to those configs?#sylve #freebsd

Not sure who decided it was a good idea to integrate Rust dependencies into Python modules.Installing a 1GiB Rust package to build wheel is a waste of bandwidth and time.#FreeBSD #Python #Rust #WHY

@BastilleBSD Indeed!

(I'm experimenting with Docker Engine 29.0+ here and, maybe, I'm reinventing the wheel, but...)I do like #FreeBSD and I like #ZFS. So, I thought, I can use OpenZFS on linux too... With docker... Right... Well....ZFS storage driver is apparently slow as hell and overlay2 don't really work on ZFS.So, the best option I found, just create a zvolume, format it with something linux frendly and go with it.But that's kinda killing entire ZFS idea of having pools of storage you can mess howere you need.But hey, docker only need overlay for root on it's containers. I can keep everything else on zfs.And that where it's became interesting (rabit hole)...Nothing goes to rootfs... MM, why? o_Ohttps://gist.github.com/anparker/c4c7a6c2f96a253ba6f4fed344d9037c

@evgandr@bsd.cafeThe Monaspace fonts are pretty sick.I keep going back to JetBrainsMono, but I totally respect Monaspace.I'd really love a true bitmapped programmer's font, with many, many sizes, weights and styles, pretty full coverage of unicode, every bitmap hand-massaged for visual clarity.It would be a herculean effort, but so flipping gorgeous.

@stefano Great to hear. What features does the new version bring?
