My name is Michał. I am a programmer from Kraków Poland. I was torn between joining this instance and bsd.network, but after some consideration I use #Emacs for a few hours per day more than #FreeBSD I'm therefore more or an Emacser than BSDer. In my pastime I watch #anime or #StarTrek (as comedies are dead to me since nothing compares to #seinfeld
Also noticed that #DNSCrypt provides a large amount of binary distributions for #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #DragonFlyBSD, #Solaris, among several other OSs, plus many architecture-specific binaries. That is really nice! Next thing will be deploying it on the beastie server.
"As Arm expands its reach into new technology domains, it is important to understand FreeBSD's role in this journey to gain insights into broader industry trends."
Would be a free public shell account service based on #FreeBSD/#OpenBSD systems interesting for you? If yes, what would you run on it?
Please provide feedback, so @gyptazy can check if it makes sense to provide such a service (this is already available in a limited beta).
What to expect:
A free user login to a FreeBSD or #OpenBSD based system where multiple users can access it at the same time. You can do everything in your own home directory, run processes, open sockets, compile stuff etc. System is managed in general for you.
What you cannot do:
Make changes to the system in general, use low ports, install or modify things system wide.
Are you a versatile problem-solver with a knack for operating system development? Do you thrive working in an open source development environment with a diverse team? If so, the FreeBSD Foundation is searching for a software developer with varied interests and skills and a passion to perfect the user experience on FreeBSD.
As planned last week, in tomorrow's weekly #BSDPub meetup, we'll delve into backup strategies and showcase some behind-the-scenes of the BSD Cafe setup and its backups. More details on the event's website: https://bsdpub.bsd.cafe
Do you live in Guernsey?
Do you use FreeBSD?
Do you want to financially support its continued development?
If you answered 'yes' to all of these questions, then I have good news for you - the FreeBSD Foundation's payment provider have made some fixes so you can now donate from Guernsey!
You should also get in touch with me so that we can start a user group :-)
Hey everyone, out of curiosity, how much do you spend on a #Linux, #FreeBSD, (or Windows) cloud instance for your side project? Also, please state the provider.
Any #FreeBSD wifi people have some time? I'm using an ancient bwn card and this threahd (last post) is making me think there's a reversion to something because it's the only mention I can find using 14.0 forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.…
I've already built a kernel accepting the GPL so I'm not super afraid of getting my hands dirty
(I can provide better info in a bit, but the linked forum thread is my exact steps, which, once it was crashing the same way, lead me to that thread)
I do love these new SSDs that I got over the weekend. They're soooo quiet, nice and fast, in particular with no latency when they spin up. That's all my toy budget for the month gone, but I think I'll buy the same again next month to replace the volume that stores my backups. That's still got oodles of space left, but the quiet is nice, and while spin-up time doesn't matter for my backups, having basically zero seek time will really help a lot.
re toots from a few days ago, I'm using #APFS instead of the much better #ZFS, because ZFS just didn't work very well on Mac OS when I played around with it a few days ago. So in the slightly longer term I'm looking for a cheap machine on which I can run #FreeBSD and ZFS, which will support at least 6 x 2.5" SSDs in its own chassis, all hot-swappable without opening it up and without tools, with at least two eSATA ports. Recommendations for something which will Just Work with FreeBSD please!
