A new #blog post appears!

I discovered that the GNU D compiler has been broken on FreeBSD 14 for over a year and it seems no one noticed. Let's discover the issue and brainstorm some solutions to it.

A great case study for why operating system package maintainers matter.

Some friendships just don't crash. Happy Friendship Day from your most stable and reliable OS. #RunBSD #FriendshipDay #SysAdmin #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #GhostBSD #DragonflyBSD #MidnightBSD #HardenedBSD & other BSDs i might have missed :)

Hello Fedi - what is your most used *BSD service that is builtin to the OS?
From Jails to Pledge, name your favorite!

#RUNBSD! But BoxyBSD now also starts to support #Linux! We're starting soon with the Linux support for already present users, offering free boxes:

* #AlmaLinux
* #Alpine
* #Debian
* #Devuan
* #CentOS
* #Fedora
* #Gentoo
* #OpenSuse
* #OpenEuler
* #RockyLinux

Just next to our core OS like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #MidnightBSD and #DragonflyBSD (and #illumos). This should also make the step easier to compare and test different scenarios where BSD provides a different behavior compared to Linux systems.

Thanks to @gyptazy for the implementation!

Glad I run BSD here (I am BSD agnostic, they are all grand IMO) after seeing this post.

On this day in 2003, Matthew Dillon sent out an email making an announcement that would go on to become a landmark in the history of the BSD family. The title read:

"Announcing DragonFly BSD!"

Happy 22nd birthday #DragonFly #BSD!

To many more year of challenging goals and ideals, cutting ties with legacy when it makes sense, preferring a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to the development of the system and the innovative spirit !

@dch
let's see. I have no desire to reboot from #DragonFlyBSD now - I've been struggling with Free all day and now I'm going to watch a film:).

But I can give you hardware information if that's what you mean. If you need the result of #FreeBSD specific commands, then post which ones and I'll do it tomorrow.

M.2 USB SSD wakes up using #ZFS and #FreeBSD. I'll leave that question for later (although I have SATA mechanical drives and it would be annoying to see wake-up failures).

I need the Linux command line to create #apicula bases. Qemu works here, which is welcome. But 10 times slower than under #DragonFlyBSD - accel=nvmm accelerator is used there. I wonder what kind of accelerators there are under #FreeBSD?

Getting ready for #BSDCan

Resources got restocked:

- Two new nodes in Netherlands
- One new node in Ukraine
- Extended resources on nodes in Germany

@gyptazy is now improving the self-service portal and then we can go straight to the 1k free boxes :)

@kobilacroix nah.

You'd propably find him and Howard doing some weird shit, like an #OpenBSD / #toybox distro or a #DragonflyBSD cluster...

@dwarmstrong

It's worth remembering that there aren't just three flavours. There are DragonFly BSD, Midnight BSD, and Ghost BSD too.

A wild #blog post appears!

I revived pkgsrc on AIX.

(Yes, I already sent a PR to NetBSD.)

@merlin so what are you gonna do then?

#OpenBSD? #DragonflyBSD? #FreeDOS or #Linux?

• Honest question, I'm curious...

As it approaches, the excitement for the upcoming #BSDCan keeps growing. It'll be my first time in Canada, and therefore my first time at BSDCan, and it will be a great opportunity to meet people I couldn't meet at #EuroBSDCon in Dublin. In the meantime, the next EuroBSDCon is also getting closer. All in all, when I look at the coming months, I feel an overwhelming sense of positivity and enthusiasm!

Exciting news!

We've set up a Signal announcement group to keep you all in the loop about the upcoming events and talks.

Join us to stay connected and never miss a bit!
