Seems that most important part of Minecraft server article was first sentence about FreeBSD Jails security.

After lots of questions on Hacker News/Lobsters I decided to add 'UPDATE 1' about it.

New tariffs soon to be announced on European based #Linux systems.

America will focus on US/California based #FreeBSD now.

American #RedHat company would switch to #FreeBSD and rebranding should not be a major issue as both #FreeBSD and #RedHat logos are red.

Just finished my 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 [External] page - history of many things I have done in the past outside/before my humble blog.

Its AGAIN the problem that FreeBSD project does not want to solve - for the short 3 months period (when 14.1 is still in support) the packages for 14.2 - including kernel related packages such as drm-kmod - are built against 14.1 kernel sources ... which give result such as yours.

The solutions are:

- do not upgrade to 14.2 when 14.1 is in support + 1 week so new packages in 'latest' branch gets build

- rebuild 'drm-kmod' packages from Ports:
# make -C /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod build deinstall install clean

- use GhostBSD as 'base' for desktop - I mean use GhostBSD repositories and kernel - they always build packages against the RIGHT sources.

I try to at least 'force' FreeBSD related people to switch 'latest' branch to always build against the latest FreeBSD - 14.2 now - and to keep 'quarterly' on older still supported for 3 months - 14.1 in that case ... but they would not listen to me.

Seems that you need a 'smartband' - not a 'smartwatch'.

I have used one once back in time, Xiaomi Mi Band 3 (now its 5 or 6 available probably) to track sports activities and sleep.

The good thing is that battery last for weeks, not hours :)

@lxo

Do you not understand the difference between GPL and BSD license?

In GPL - when You redistribute - You are ALWAYS FORCED to share the changes.

In BSD - You do whatever the fuck you like - real freedom - You do not have to share anything.

BSD gives MORE freedom then GPL.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @amszmidt

Yes - Linux kernel has all its 'licensing' problems because of GPL enforcement - nothing else.

@amszmidt @puppygirlhornypost2

So WHY the BSD licensed FreeBSD does not have ANY problems with including CDDL code?

Linux is the GPL bullshit problem.

@amszmidt @puppygirlhornypost2

This is what BSD code is for.

Real FREEDOM.

You will never understand that concept.

@amszmidt

You do not understand "freedom"?

I do.

I means: do whatever the fuck you want.

@amszmidt

GPL has nothing to do with REAL FREEDOM.

@amszmidt @puppygirlhornypost2

I am sorry but are you fucking blind or retarded?

While You can do literally EVERYTHING with code licensed under BSD license - you are like in chains with GPL code.

Why do You think companies like SONY or NetApp/Netflix/Apple/SEGA/NINTENDO use BSD licensed code instead of GPL bullshit?

@amszmidt @puppygirlhornypost2

> The #GNU GPL doesn't prohibit anything

Are You drunk or on narcotics?

The GPL is the MOST LIMITED license on the planed only compatible with itself and nothing more.

Why the CDDL licensed ZFS has so much trouble being used in the Linux field? Because of GPL limitations.

The CDDL licensed ZFS code runs and works flawlessly on FreeBSD thanks to the REAL FREEDOM of BSD license.

While ZFS can not even try to be 1st class citizen on Linux 'thanks' to GPL retarded status :(

@amszmidt

GPL has nothing to do with freedom ... but has lots in common with communism.

@joel @stefano

If this is production and You are responsible for the thing to 'just' work - then its probably anyway the first thing You would do anyway - probably checking for free disk space or network problems first.

Then after production is back online you have time to dig in the problem, check logs, submit bugs.

Not the other way around.

@stefano

That always amaze me - WHY FreeBSD DOES NOT use daemon(8) more - especially in /etc/rc.d startup scripts - to make sure the service is running ...

If you are curious how religions work - then this simple video will tell you all about them.

... and yes - my old quote saying 'Religions, worst damnation of mankind.' is still the thing I really believe today.
