Which FreeBSD user groups are defunct? Are any missing? : r/freebsd
– a review of https://www.freebsd.org/usergroups/ by @bigsneakyduck.
Reply in Reddit, if you can.
Thanks
The FreeBSD User Groups page has got quite outdated so crowdsourcing some replies has helped update a few things. Mostly group closures unfortunately but also some changes of contact details. For people who don't have a Reddit user account, I also started a FreeBSD Forums thread that found a few more updates, including a change to a long-standing venue. So feel free to reply there too: forums.freebsd.org/threads/102512/ I don't check for replies quite so regularly here - but if you don't have a FreeBSD Forums or Reddit account then leave a reply here and I'll get back to you at some point. -
If you really know your GNU coreutils, you probably don't need as many extra tools as you think.
KISS isn't just a design principle — it's already built into your system.
A comprehensive review of every coreutils command, with examples and honest opinions. The lobste.rs discussion is also worth reading.

A key component for FreeBSD becoming NIST FIPS 140-3 compliant was completed when FreeBSD upgraded from OpenSSL 3.0 to 3.5. One of the other requirements for FIPS 140-3 (and post-quantum cryptography) is having sufficient random entropy in the system to generate sufficiently random numbers. NIST SP800-90B provides some guidelines on how to achieve that…
PS: This strikes me as a significant development, which is why I am posting it here

An example:
- FreeBSD user groups at https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/319
- https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe/116458512546395480 lacks the three-word title.
This might be fixed, but not retrospectively, by a commit that was made five days ago:

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe please, how can I delete the following post from Mastodon? https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe/116475215991714222 The post above is already deleted in NodeBB. (I duplicated the title to the first line of the post, to work around the missing title issue, the result was duplication in Mastodon.) Thanks The subsequent post by me is OK, no duplication: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe/116475260834678599. This one should remain. -

The same bug when no skin is chosen. In the screenshot below, most categories are invisible:
https://community.nodebb.org/search?term=unread categories invisible&in=titles finds nothing.
Also, I can't find a matching issue in GitHub at https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues.

Cleaning Up Critical Infrastructure in FreeBSD
Sustainable open source requires more than new features. It demands disciplined security work, clear visibility into dependencies, and long-term maintainability.Through the Beach Cleaning Project, funded by the Alpha-Omega Project, we strengthened the FreeBSD base system by improving third-party software tracking, advancing SBOM tooling, and aligning security processes for future resilience.

Thank you! I blocked five of the respondents in the Fediverse https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/116462528458368843 ＂Power is the ability to do good things for others.＂ … https://mstdn.social/@happinessbot/116461840153065036 Think of the last person you interacted with. How happy do you think you are relative to them? (I ask this question every day to gauge how happy the Fediverse is.) #happiness #poll #mentalhealth #psychology -
A few months ago I threw this question out into the void - "what if you could access the fediverse through your Usenet reader??" and got almost no response. Still, the idea had lodged in my brain and wouldn't go away so this weekend I caved in and built the thing. Hat tip to the author of the excellent nntpserver package that did all the hard stuff.
I look forward to seeing someone's screenshots of fediverse posts on a Commodore 64, some day.
This will be released as a part of PieFed 1.7, coming soon.

Hello OpenBSD-ers (also posted on misc@),
A friend of mine was installing OpenBSD for the first time, and came
upon a minor roadblock. Em didn't realize that you should really
install all system software sets unless you're looking for a whole
world of issues any sane person may not want to deal with. Part of me
wanted to say to my friend: "Read the FaQ and get stuffed!", I didn't
cos that wasn't the best idea to say to a new user.
I understand if devs and any contributor feel(s) like my initial
reaction, but would it hurt to add a 1/2-line warning?:...
[[LIST OF SETS]]
You probably want to install all sets if you're new. See
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#FilesNeeded for more information.
Location of sets? [cd0 disk http nfs or 'done'] defaultI am flexible where this comment can be added, there's a couple places
that seem alright for different reasons.It might be a good idea to add this just so people are better
informed about the system in a place where they might footgun
themselves. Linking to the FaQ header could go a long way to teach the
behavior of reading docs, if not already set in stone before coming to
OpenBSD.Thoughts? I'm considering writing a diff if more end users than myself are interested.

Congrats NetBSD! The first BSD I ever installed successfully... then quickly dropped it because I was lost and confused. But that's a reflection of where my skills were at many years ago... Since then NetBSD now has things like pkgsrc and bozohttpd. My time is fairly limited nowadays but it's still on my TODO to give NetBSD another serious go. It probably won't replace OpenBSD for me, but I love hacking on systems and NetBSD is the ultimate hacking OS. Looking forward to another year of NetBSD updates. Well done and thanks to all contributors! 🥳 -
Gentlefolk,
I am returning to BSD. It has been a wee while since I set up and administered BSD systems, but I did put in quite a few years before I gave up. I am definitely looking forward to getting off Linux. My first use case is to replace our server, a 15 year old Mac Mini that once ran OSX Server and then Debian.
Rather than make an ill-informed choice and then pester everyone with frustrating questions, I am hoping to solicit a bit of advice. I am hoping to get a used server and use jails to run various services.
Would a used Dell R640 with the H730p hardware raid card and a 2xSFP+ 10G card be an easy FreeBSD install? My sense from looking at posts elsewhere is that many people run FreeBSD on these, but I might be about to make a Well Known Mistake. It will be inside our router and firewall, so I'm not so worried about a hardened install.
Anything from raucous laughter followed by informative snorts through to gentle hints gratefully appreciated...
Many thanks!
---WBTD.
