They seem perfectly comfortable together.

In light of the current shitheelery going on at Linux HQ, and general techbro shitheadery on FOSS....

Consider brushing up, or looking into xBSD as a daily driver, privacy preserving OS. Grab that old computer and slap some BSD on it.

I would recommend #GhostBSD, because a #FreeBSD with a GUI already loaded. Seems to be the single big bump on road for newbies at BSD.

Doesn't hurt and, if Linux goes the way of post-jobs apple software... well, there. Just sayin'.

Any #FreeBSD folks using vm-bhyve with NAT? It appears that the built-in support was removed in 2016 and never reintroduced. It's not clear to me how to set up the NAT between the bridged interface that vm-bhyve creates and the host network interface. I've found a bunch of articles that claim to cover this and either use the command that hasn't existed for 10 years or skip over network configuration.

The GENERIC kernel without a kernel panic.

Re #AI or #NoAI #DesktopEnvironment for #Linux, #BSD, #NetBSD, #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, forgot about #Orbitiny

It's a 1-person, QT-based, X11-only GPL project

Portable so you can try it without borking your current DE. I tested it a couple of years ago & again today, interesting but not enough to take me away from Xfce then

But I see no statement re AI on its site. & not on Fediverse, just Reddit.

Manpage Monday: bastille zfs

ZFS snapshots for your jails, without the ZFS syntax.

Snapshot a jail
> bastille zfs myjail snapshot

Roll back to the last snapshot
> bastille zfs myjail rollback

Check dataset disk usage
> bastille zfs myjail df

You can also get/set props or jail an extra dataset.

See `man bastille-zfs` for more details.

#Bastille #FreeBSD #ZFS #ManpageMonday

Hey ZFS folks: If I am running PostgreSQL 18, can I use an 8k recordsize on the dataset? What about the WAL directory? Does that stay in a separate dataset with a different recordsize or does it all go together?

Thanks so much!

Please boost for visiblity!

NSSplitView implemented and working.

NSToolBar is working. Including the "hide/show toolbar" button, which Apple stole from us years ago.

FreeBSD and BIRD, both up to date. An excellent duo for routing infrastructure — seamless cooperation, solid performance, and open source at its best. 🐦⚙️
