Alright, I misheard her.

I need open source CMS software. Again, bonus points for stuff in #FreeBSD ports.

So, open source CRMs that don't suck, any suggestions?

Bonus points if it is in #FreeBSD ports.

Ok. I guess the age of the desktop pc is over.

Thought I try out gforcenow.

I'm running cyberpunk 2077 1080p max settings on a thinkpad x280 with i5+igpu on #freebsd on an external monitor in a fullscreen browser and it's completely fine.

Yes it needs a bit od bandwith but oh boy am I srsly impressed. Also now I can just say I want to game a bit this month or so and then it's fine again. No need for another system, that needs a big graphicscard and whatnot and maybe even windows... The future is now I guess, one just needs to insert a few coins I guess (*sigh*...)

This is a quality comment on a video about how much benefit Netflix gets from FreeBSD.

​ another plot twist 🍿​

OVH reactivated my VPS 😮​

Yes even I didn't see this coming.

I had a couple of people working there (who shall remain nameless) who reached out to me, asking if they could help. You are ANGELS! Thank you!

I got an email saying that following an internal investigation my VPS was "automatically suspended" due to a manipulation on my part that could have been involuntary. So my service is restored for now but if I repeat the same mistake, it will be suspended for good.

Do I want to resume using it after what happened? Yes.

Why? Not so much for the 30 Euros I paid for it, but for something else:

I can't think of a better motivation to be SUPER SUPER careful with my security settings. The stakes are high now!

And TBH I had been a little careless/superficial in the past when it comes to firewalls and such.

So Fedi friends, now I have FOUR VPSs 🤪​

Maybe I could use the Hetzner one to learn #FreeBSD after all.

And sorry but I need to rush back to the OVH VPS to uninstall Docker ASAP.

Life can be so strange.

Thank you to the OVH angels (you know who you are) who helped out.

And special thanks to all the people who offered me GRACE and advice. I'm hoping not to fumble things so badly the second time around.

Turns out, if you type #OpenBSD, #FreeBSD or #Linux in DuckDuckGo search bar, cute duck logo changes respectively.
But not for #NetBSD! NetBSD people, rise up!

These scripts requires root to run so: choose sh version for less external dependencies (more secure), or python version bundled with tkinter image viewer.

Yeah, it looks like I'm gonna skip iOS 26, and continue not using a current MacOS. This really might be the end, and it's not a good time for it.

Can ya just quit fucking with the UI, Apple?

Later today gonna think about my move to #FreeBSD.

First steps in the BSD world!

1) OpenBSD on VPS (Amsterdam)
2) FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi 4 (home)

I'm running a Wireguard connection between the two.

Next step is setting up relayd on the VPS to point at services on the Raspberry Pi server.

From the FreeBSD Journal archives: ✉️ We Get Letters by Michael W. Lucas

In this edition Michael W. Lucas reflects on what it really means to build something “downstream” from FreeBSD — mixing hard-won lessons, humor, and a reminder that sometimes failure teaches more than success.

Read it here: https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-work/journal/browser-based-edition/downstreams/we-get-letters-3/

#FreeBSD #FreeBSDJournal #OpenSource #Community

First release:

I wrote an Ansible connection-plugin to automate FreeBSD Jails via their host, by utilizing jls and jexec to run automation via a SSH connection to the FreeBSD host.

I released that on GitHub https://github.com/chofstede/ansible_jailexec
And on my Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/ansible_jailexec

Released under a BSD license.

This enables seamless automation of FreeBSD jails without needing a SSH connection to the Jails themselves.

I've just received an email from one of my clients. The subject line is "À la Révolution!".

I immediately understood what he meant: a new jail, which he'll then manage with BastilleBSD.

Working with kind and smart people is a privilege to be grateful for.

I need a Debian VM for the tech edits on #n4sa2e. Switched to the Mac, so I need to set up a new one.

Reminded once again that you can 95% set up a working Linux box by hitting ENTER in the installer. The only things you type are your username, passwords, and one TAB to say "yes, fry my disk." The advanced options are there, but you must look for them.

My #freebsd people: I love y'all, but THIS is an installer that welcomes new users.

Happy 14th birthday to my daily-driver laptop. While it's had a RAM upgrade (4→10) and a disk upgrade (HDD→SSD), it continues to run #FreeBSD like a champ and do what I need.

It also makes me kinda sad about all the perfectly cromulent hardware that #Win11 is obsolescing,

If you are old enough to remember Norton Commander you might like Midnight Commander. It's basically a clone of Norton Commander for #Linux, #FreeBSD, and #macOS. Here's a screenshot of it running on my Chromebook.
