Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!

BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.

You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.

This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD!

This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!

Aside from Jails, what is your go-to, must-have feature in the FreeBSD ecosystem?

Is it ZFS? The PF firewall? Maybe Capsicum?

Let us know what you can't live without in the comments!

Three years ago today, we opened the doors to our corner of the Fediverse. 💙

What started as an idea has grown into a friendly space for good conversations, smart humor, and authentic interactions. It’s been amazing watching this community grow with all of you.

Thank you to everyone who’s shared, posted, and made Vivaldi Social part of their online space. You’ve helped shape this community into what it is today.

Here’s to everyone who’s been part of it, and to all the new voices we’ll meet along the way.

Happy 3rd birthday, Vivaldi Social! 🎉

@stefano @ricardo the article mentioned the FreeBSD subreddit and The FreeBSD Forums.

Yorick Peterse shared his post in the sub, where it was very well-received. Pictured: insights that are not visible to the public (I very rarely share such things, doing so seems harmless on this occasion).

No mention of Discord, Twitter, or X.

Also pictured: the wiki for FreeBSD Discord very recently cautioned that the FreeBSD Community Code of Conduct can not be enforced. I do not imagine that this caution relates to any recent misconduct there …

Hi, guys. I broke my Mastodon installation. Next time, I should use a server dedicated solely to Mastodon, lol, because it conflicts with my other apps, lol.

The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!

* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!

* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy

* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.

* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)

This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!

The new BoxyBSD platform now offers VNC access and ISO selection which brings in several new possibilities for users.

We're curious: What is the most unique or interesting application you've deployed inside a Bastille Jail?

Share your use case and inspire the community!
