AI-powered Reddit search (Answers) improving from one day to the next. Today:
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tjgr0x/comment/onelt9p/?context=2>
From yesterday's comment:
"… this underscores the value of not trusting the first thing that we read …"
Not exciting, just food for thought.
Certainly not conclusive. I experiment with the feature very rarely … maybe ten times a year.

So I'm thinking of upgrading my T630 to #proxmox 9 from 8. But since I don't have much there anyways, this could be a chance to switch to something more interesting, penses-tu pas??
Could go the #BSD way and use #bhyve stuff? Orrr try something really interesting, #SmartOS which gives you bhyve AND #KVM AND #zones ??? Oh I do love a good set of choices that just paralyzes me sometimes :D
Anyone use any of these? Are there terraform / pulumi compatible modules for this stuff?

EDIT: it's not the virtio driver. This VM has 1G ram. If increased to 2G, it will boot. It seems it's the intramfs unable to decompress. And it's strange.
I've just upgraded my Proxmox Backup Server, running inside a bhyve VM on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, and it now kernel panics as soon as it boots.
Setup:
- Host: FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE
- Guest Kernel: Linux 7.0
- NIC: virtio-netWorkarounds tested:
- Removing the network device: boots successfully
- Changing the NIC to e1000: boots successfullyThis seems to point to a virtio-net issue with this kernel under bhyve.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I sense that #bhyve/#ARM64 will become very interesting in the 25 hours, thanks to John Baldwin doing John Baldwin-y things.

From the "That only took 36 years" department:
With #FreeBSD jail, #OpenZFS, 'makefs -t zfs', root on p9fs, packaged base, and #bhyve/ARM64 in place, let's pull them all together:
https://github.com/michaeldexter/occambsd#imagine-and-propagate-scenarios
That is, generate a 15.0 installer image, push that hardware, push that further to VMs, and then further to STABLE and CURRENT boot environments.
All updatable with pkg(8)
This may contain bugs, but it's forcing me to exercise it.

Nice, someone has written an updated #ZFS management module for #Webmin for #FreeBSD which really looks helpful. Its not only offering #ZFS managment, there is also #Samba, #PF #NFS and various other types configuration like #ACL management included, too. Wow!
With this, #Webmin is nearly feature complete. I'm only missing #Bastille or #Bhyve modules.

I've got a Lenovo M93p Tiny with 16GB RAM and a Haswell Xeon. It's a great little unit that I used to use as my Haiku build box.
I'm thinking about using it as a #Forgejo (and maybe eventually #Codeberg) Actions runner, with a handful of lightweight VMs (Alpine, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Haiku), each using no more than a gig or two of memory.
Does anyone have any tips on doing this? I'm guessing #Proxmox would be a good start, but I wonder if #FreeBSD with #bhyve and #BastilleBSD might also do a good job.

I've just finished with the last call of the day.
It's been nice. Talking with nice people is always a very good thing.And another Proxmox server will be migrated to FreeBSD - bhyve
