https://youtu.be/wkMfXJpAGqM?t=11854 At OpenFest 2024, I presented a significant improvement to the FreeBSD development process as a result of my recent work. OpenFest plays an important role in supporting open-source software and the free sharing of knowledge.

A couple of days in trying to make OpenBSD as a laptop / desktop system has given me interesting issues.

Currently the xfce desktop dumps core as soon as I try to click the menu. Not that great haha. Reading up on this, I've learned that the OpenBSD community is more into window managers like cwm, twm and fvwm. Tried them all this morning. This is just not for me ...

So, I did a small walkthrough of the other BSD websites and figured that FreeBSD would be my next logical step, if the Thinkpad hardware seems to be well supported ...

#FreeBSD 14.2-STABLE is out ! Please don't hesitate to make upgrades.

I used to remember a #FreeBSD application as an alternative to mtr, but I forgot it name.

🫠

Installing #FreeBSD 14.1 using mfsBSD in Debian Linux is easy.
The hard part only setup the network and serial connection to xtermjs.

next, install #OpenBSD (overwrite FreeBSD installation). 😂

trying to install #FreeBSD in Linux based VPS (KVM) with no avail to activate internet.

I have set IP using manual static IP

`# ifconfig vtnet0 inet 103.45.54.45 netmask 255.255.255.0`
`# sysrc defaultrouter="103.45.54.1"`

`# service netif restart & service routing restart`

the result is still no internet connection. I don't know what to do. 😭

Because I caught covid the other day and my radius is at the moment a room with around 8m², so I won't infect my wife, who is treated for cancer, and looking out of the window watching the animals and the birds is nice for a time or so, I started to look for some distraction....

I got my aux notebook and thought I could play some retro adventure games.

I saw there's a fan sequel to broken sword called #brokensword25. It's completely free and is pretty decent so far. Even has voice acting. Some animations seem to be missing.
Anyway, it's a true nod in the direction of brokensword 1 &2, which were imho the best parts of the series.

The best thing it works fine on #FreeBSD (or rather #GhostBSD) using #scummvm

So now that neofetch is dead, what do you all use? #homelab #linux #freebsd #openbsd

This weekend I'm planning to make my self hosted #snac instance live and hopefully I don't unintentionally DDoS my own fibre connection. It's running in a #Bastille jail on my #FreeBSD server Beastie. I still have some customisation to do with CSS for the theme but I'm just interested to see how much load this'll put on my FTTP 1G / 110Mb connection. If all goes well I may well migrate permanently to my own hosted #ActivityPub server ? 🤔 #HomeLab

Did you know that #FreeBSD can run a lot of #Linux software directly (without running Linux in a VM)? The Linuxulator is a compatibility layer that provides an implementation of many Linux interfaces available to userland programs.
