  1. I love the fact that an idle NetBSD server is...idle.

  2. Has the FreeBSD project decided what it thinks about ai slop yet?

    Last I heard they were still thinking hard, but probably going with it’s not good enough for code, just for froufrou like testing & docs, but has there been any movement?

  3. I tried to create a #Debian package from #Speedatapublisher but after the dismissing of the Debian repo the make install instrunctions are no longer available. Never mind I set a local environmnet.

    The good news is that #FreeBSD is shipping ** Speedata Publisher** in the third party repo making the perfect solution to work with it, as a designer or to deploy a #Speedata Publisher server.

    If you want run publisher into an Opensource ecosystem seamlessly you can do it with FreeBSD.

  4. Ex-Linux users typing lsblk on their newly installed *BSD systems for the billionth time:

  7. New blog post!

    I use Packet Filter (PF) to set up a basic firewall on FreeBSD. To start, the only service I’m running that requires inbound access is SSH. SSHGuard is added for an additional layer of security:

  8. Oooops! Did i just book a VM with @OpenBSDAms in time for #EuroBSDcon2026 in #Brussels? I've never been to #Amsterdam or vmd(8) before! I'm thrilled!

    Ready to go NetBSD images for SBC!

  10. I made a publicly available CalDAV calendar for EuroBSDCon 2026.

    Can be used with your favourite... caldav supporting...calendar application. (Everyone has one, right?)

  13. Its been some time since I've setup a home server, and even then I only used it to store backups from devices on the LAN.

    Never hosted anything that is reachable from the internet (besides SSH). I want to learn how to self-host a few services, starting with a Google Photos replacement; and littleFedi by @stefano .

    Thought of using a old laptop, but decided to step up to a ThinkCentre M720q. I've installed FreeBSD as the host OS.

    Onward!

  14. Tonight's #HomeLab task was migrating my last two machines to pkgbase, using the pkgbasify script on #FreeBSD

    The first, a HP Gen 8 Microserver, that's mostly a NAS, went without a hitch.

    The second, a #RasperryPi 3B+ kept failing when running in tmux - the tmux session would crash and then the conversion would stop. I then ran the script with --force, without using tmux, and it seemed to go through ok and thinks it's converted. Everything seems to work as expected after a reboot. Will have to see the next time there's an update if that works.

  15. New toy for FreeBSD folks who run Ansible: a become plugin for mdo(1), the mac_do(4) counterpart to sudo/doas.

    The kernel decides whether the credential transition is allowed, so there is no password, no TTY, no doas.conf, and pipelining just works. Single file, BSD 2-Clause, tested against 15.1-RELEASE.

    Feedback welcome, especially from anyone already using mac_do in production.
