#ZFS was listed as experimental for #NetBSD 9. Per Wiki <https://wiki.netbsd.org/zfs/>, I would rather use FreeBSD which supports root on ZFS without the detour of FFS;
availability & support of Rust software as Python ecosystem seems to be using more of that as time goes by.
I personally need to check the situation in #FreeBSD with Intel CPUs with all E cores.
#BoxyBSD is a non-profit VM & service provider for the open-source community with a focus on BSD based Systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD. BoxyBSD also provides additional services like webhosting, git, email and DNS solutions for #opensource projects to give valuable things back to the community.
Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, after 2 days filled with 8 hours of meetings EACH, it is my displeasure to say that, not only are my #NetBSD VMs NOT updated, but my #OpenBSD VMs are not updated either!!
Much unhapiness ensues, especially since I am now way too tired to do any updating at all.
The updates (or is that complete re-installation?) have therefore been postponed to tomorrow
I would like to apologize for any inconvenience. :netbsd: :openbsd:
#NetBSD also has sysupgrade, but it does not support upgrading a VM from NetBSD 9.3 to NetBSD 10 as far as I know (corrections are welcome if you know better!).
So, what the heck, I'll re-install from scratch, it only takes about 5 minutes anyway... :netbsd:
I mean, it's right there in the #OpenBSD ifconfig man page, while there is no such entry in the corresponding #NetBSD page (again, unless I am mistaken, corrections by smarter people are very welcome)
🎉 NetBSD 10.0 Released With Much Improved Hardware Support & Faster Performance | Phoronix
「 #NetBSD 10 provides #WireGuard support, support for many newer #Arm platforms including for #AppleSilicon and newer #RaspberryPi boards, a new Intel Ethernet drive, support for Realtek 2.5GbE network adapters, #SMP performance improvements, automatic swap encryption, and an enormous amount of other hardware support improvements that accumulated over the past 4+ years 」
(It's worth noting that NetBSD is not affected by the #xz#backdoor, both because that targets Linux/glibc/systemd and because the version of xz shipped with NetBSD predates the inclusion of the backdoor code.)
What are people planning to use the new #NetBSD 10 for? I have uses I like for FreeBSD, OpenIndiana, Solaris, plus a few Linux things for hardware support and a few unportable programs.
Surely there’s something I can do besides install it on Dreamcast.
Sharing some technical details about how I'm setting up the hosted email service. It will not be a service of BSD Cafe but tied to my own business. It will run entirely on BSD systems and on bare metal, NOT on "cloud" VPS. It will use FreeBSD jails or OpenBSD or NetBSD VMs (but on bhyve, on a leased server - I do not want user data to be stored on disks managed by others). The services (opensmtpd and rspamd, dovecot, redis, mysql, etc.) will run on separate jails/VMs, so compromising one service will NOT put the others at risk. Emails will be stored on encrypted ZFS datasets - so all emails are encrypted at rest - and only dovecot will have access to the mail datasets. I'm also considering the possibility of encrypting individual emails with the user's login password - but I still have to thoroughly test this. The setup will be fully redundant (double mx for SMTP, a domain for external IMAP access that will be managed through smart DNS - which will distribute the connections on the DNS side and, in case of a server down, will stop resolving its IP, sending all the connections to the other. Obviously, everything will be accessible in both ipv4 and ipv6 and in two different European countries, on two different providers. Synchronization will occur through dovecot's native sync (extremely stable and tested). All technical choices will be clearly explained - the goal of this service is to provide maximum transparency to users on how things will be handled.
