Updating #FreeBSD to 15.1 went fine... 🙏🙏🙏

This guide was very helpful:

freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/upg…

#runbsd

@wq one sharp-edge, it needs a port to #freebsd so i'm going to see what that would take given that i'm not very good with #rust at all. i did get it to build by hand under #bsd but hit some compiler errors i don't have time for today

BSDun is an experimental project that brings FreeBSD binary compatibility to Linux, with support already claimed for shells, networking tools, pkg, and more.

#FreeBSD with a question mark.

Screenshot: ROXTerm and xterm windows in TWM. fastfetch in a foreground ROXTerm window. A partially obscured window shows pkg configured by me to use a mixture of FreeBSD-ports-latest and FreeBSD-ports-quarterly alongside the NextBSD repo. There is no FreeBSD kernel.

That is a great rule IMHO

Currently reading freebsd-forums-rules.38922 located in the link.

I've never encountered a forum with so many rules, don't and instant ban warnings, which made me decide to lurk for more than a month with absolute zero posts.

You literally need to read for about an hour before posting to a sub-forum which also needs reading it's rule set

People must have messed up a lot for the moderators to put up so much required reading.

My time on the forum has thus been very brief, because I refuse to f#ck up and piss of a moderator with a rule breaker.

Two strikes means two written warnings and a third means all your posts will be filtered by a human before being released.

Before your posts are allowed on the forum as a greenhorn a human literally needs to read vet and verify them before realeasing thim in the wild. There is a minumum ammount of 10 or 20 posts before they are sure you understand the rules.

Is there anyone here who has gone though this process of the filtered initial posts?

Bastille is simply amazing as a Jail manager. Kudos to all the dev's for this amazing piece of software! 😎

Während wir gerade alle feiern, wie geil #Linux inzwischen ist und ich gerade ein butterweich laufendes Resident Evil Requiem auf meinem Linux-PC zu Ende gespielt habe, flutet #Apple den #Notebook-Markt mit billigen Macbooks, auf denen Linux nicht läuft, lassen #Samsung, #Xiaomi und Co keine alternativen Systeme auf ihren Smartphones mehr zu, läuft Linux auf #Microsoft #Surface Geräten allenfalls nach übelstem Rumgefrickel und wirft #Google eine #Chromebook-Nachfolge mit #Android auf den Markt, das auch immer mehr zugenagelt wird.

Die Großen haben Angst um ihre Ökosysteme und den drohenden Verlust ihrer Kundenbindung und tun entsprechend alles dafür, dass wir es zukünftig schwerer haben, freie Alternativen zu wählen.

⚠️ Bitte achtet darauf, was für Hardware ihr kauft, und wählt Systeme, die euch keinen Riegel vorschieben.

If you ever want to get more details on a disk in #FreeBSD simply leverage diskinfo.

$ doas diskinfo -v /dev/ada0

@mvg both deadbeef and audacious are solid choices for audioplayer on various OS, imo. Used audacious on Linux and it's my goto audioplayer now on OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

My #FreeBSD stick is quite eager to be used

New on the blog: patching FreeBSD machines inside DN42 without giving them a clearnet route.

A small dual-homed VM lazily caches pkg.freebsd.org, update.freebsd.org and ftp.freebsd.org with nginx proxy_store, chases CDN redirects server-side, and serves it all over IPv6 into the mesh. pf default-denies both directions, and clients keep verifying signatures against the official FreeBSD keys.

It is also a public DN42 service: point freebsd-update, pkg or bastille at bsdmirror.chofstede.dn42 and go from empty jail host to fully patched without touching the clearnet.

FreeBSD: Migrasi ke pkgbase
https://kusaeni.com/jurnal/freebsd-migrasi-pkgbase/

pkgbase adalah masa depan proses update - upgrade #FreeBSD selain lebih gampang dan cepat, pkgbase akan menjadi standar proses update - upgrade di FreeBSD versi rilis ke 16 dan selanjutnya.

sehingga untuk yang masih pakai proses tradisional, silakan untuk migrasi ke pkgbase. Ikuti cara mudah ini, nomer 3 begitu menggairahkan!.

@jbz thanks, I like the video, however:

"We do NOT see FreeBSD with a desktop environment, or the Foundation-funded desktop script …, or sysutils/desktop-installer. …"
