#boxybsd — Public Fediverse posts

Did you know - you can also grab free #Linux based VPS now!

We took your feedback seriously and instead of breaking the philosophy at #BoxyBSD, @gyptazy crafted the @BoxedTux project with the same spirit and philosophy.

Free Linux based instances for learning, testing and educational content. Supporting #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Fedora, #RockyLinux, #Devuan, #Suse and many more ones!

#BoxedTux is also powered by @gyptazy to support the community and beginners just focussing more on Linux based systems. No worries, #BoxyBSD remains as it is!

#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc!

People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.

Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!

Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!

BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.

You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.

This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD!

This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!

Bonjour! #RUNBSD in Paris, FR!

We just opened our second location in France. Paris comes now in addition to Roubaix in France which has been added by @gyptazy. More BSD, more locations, more fun with #FreeBSD,
#OpenBSD, #NetBSD,#SmolBSD and many other ones - happy learning and testing!

We at @BoxyBSD are happy to announce our new and modern website!

While the missions keeps the same by providing a free place for beginners to learn, educate themselves and test things in the wild on BSD-based systems (such like #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD (or even #smolbsd) and many more ones) with public accessible IP addresses, the old nerdy design only hit a niche of users.

We want to make BoxyBSD more accessible & enjoyable to everyone and this is one of the first steps. We know, a laggy SSH connection doesn't make fun and therefore, we're also setting up new locations to provide you a better latency independent of your location.

During this time, signups for new users are currently deactivated until the new locations are up and running and the first real-user tests within the new interface have been successfully performed.

Thanks to @gyptazy for this :)

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

Did you notice? The registration was temporary open today and we welcome all new users! 🥳

While we still have a plenty of free resources, we might switch from an open registration model to a recommendation / mentor model where already present users can invite new users.

This is not yet fix but a possibility to avoid misusage and abuse where our primary goal is still to provide resources for people interested into BSD based systems. Maybe also closer integrations with BSD communities like the BSD Cafe (@stefano) could be an approach.
