if I were to start learning more about one of the listed BSD operating systems, which would you recommend? Guessing the answer could be different if we're talking about daily desktop usage vs server, so maybe clarify your answer via a reply if you can (fwiw, probably more interested in daily desktop usage, but open to whatever too).
I feel this quote by iXsystems sums up the state of #FreeBSD quite well. It keeps getting sidelined due to its many pain points. Even Oxide went with Illumos because they felt the community was more responsive to change.
“if people wanted to push FreeBSD forward for the last 15 years, they would have”
Looking for a way to run a single command as user "www" on #FreeBSD.
Roundcube uses doveadm to compute password hashes, but the www user defaults to the nologin shell and /nonexistent home directory. I really, REALLY don't want to change that.
Anyone have something clever to let me run just this one command as www? #sysadmin
[edit to add: Roundcube is a web app. It runs as user www. I can't have another run the command as www: www needs to execute the process. www can't run sudo or doas without the sort of something that would let www run doveadm.]
Can someone unbully mikael@ back into maintaining the signal-desktop port and then maybe unblock the electron ports from the repos so people can have a nicer #FreeBSD desktop experience? "You have to figure out and then wait about a day until VSCode and/or Signal are compiled" is a tough sell, isn't it?
After our main router/firewall died at Easter (sadly, it did not rise again), we threw a Debian laptop with an extra NIC in its place and carried on. This meant, as I hadn't spent any time configuring it, we were using our French ISP's DNS resolver.
That lasted until I tried to access #scihub, which is apparently bloqué en France! I've always run my own resolvers, so I've never come across this kind of censorship before.
New #FreeBSD firewall deployed with an #unbound resolver. Shields up!

This is strange: last October I created a FreeBSD VNET jail and defined a wireguard interface and a vxnet interface. It was working. Today I started the jail and it doesn't work anymore:
Ah purée, j'ai mis #GhostBSD sur mon #X220. Quelle machine !
Je suis à deux doigts de revendre mon X280 de 2019 pour ne garder que le X220 de 2011.
Il y a bien longtemps que l'informatique ne m'avais pas excité à ce point. Je crois que seul un portable #RISCV avec #FreeBSD pourrait atteindre ce plaisir de jouer.
Je parle d'un vrai portable, avec batterie amovible, port Ethernet, USB SD_Card Mini et Micro, switch physique pour le wifi et cache physique pour la caméra (ce qui manque au X220)
#BoxyBSD is a non-profit VM & service provider for the open-source community with a focus on BSD based Systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD. BoxyBSD also provides additional services like webhosting, git, email and DNS solutions for #opensource projects to give valuable things back to the community.
apg-go is looking for a maintainer of the #FreeBSD port. Our current maintainer is on hiatus and therefore the port is currently not getting updated in the FBSD ports tree. If you are able to commit to the FBSD ports tree and want to help a small project, please ping me.
ini adalah instance yanfg dibuat untuk tujuan uji coba. Siang tadi ane mendapatkan akses VPS dari provider dataideas dengan spesifikasi basic yang ane install #openbsd 7.5 sebagai OSnya.
Tujuan pembuatan VPS ini adalah untuk belajar dan ujicoba openbsd, nantinya jika sukses besar kemungkinan ane akan migrasi dari vultr (#freebsd)) ke VPS ini.
akun utama ane masih pakai #gotosocial di @poes dan ane belum ada rencana untuk pindahan ke instance lain meski sekarang gts sudah support perpindahan akun.
After a year and a half of using #FreeBSD daily, it will be impossible to go back to using #Linux unless it's minimally based on BSDs (like #Gentoo, #Arch, #NIX).
On a laptop with #FreeBSD and #local-unbound. I manage my own zone (example.net).
How can I resolve website.example.com as 192.168.1.100/24 inside my network and 10.0.1.100/8 outside my server (my home).
In fact how can I config #local_unbound as a liar DNS inside my own network.
