Happy #BrothersDay from the sibling who runs on absolutely everything (yes, even the family toaster)! 🚩🍞
Taking a moment to send some love to my Unix-like family today:
To FreeBSD 😈: Thanks for always bringing the heavy-lifting and server muscle. Nobody I’d rather share a kernel subsystem or network stack with! 💪
To OpenBSD 🐡: My brilliantly paranoid sibling. Don't worry, I double-checked the locks, audited the code, and closed the blinds before posting this. Stay secure! 🔒
And a special shoutout to our loud, monolithic cousin, Linux 🐧! You might be everywhere these days, but we still love having you at the FOSS family barbecue. Just leave some market share for the rest of us, okay? 🍔
Here’s to the entire open-source community. No matter what kernel you're running, we're all pushing the ecosystem forward together! 🧡

It doesn't matter how fast is your CPU or how much RAM do you have... #Scribus is going to take its time for some specific but basic operations… 😖

If anyone else wants to participate, I will be starting this June 1st. Each week there will be a “challenge”. The rules are simple.
- Have fun trying out an alternative OS and learning something new
- Use a BSD distribution for the month of June as your primary computer device
- Complete the Weekly Challenge posts
- Post about your experience using the hashtag #30DayBSDChallenge
-
The BSD community here on the Fediverse has been inspiring to me and learning more about Unix has made me feel that computers and software can be exciting and enjoyable to use again. I want to learn more about alternative operating systems, I want to see discussions and fun projects on the Fediverse and instead of just lurking or scrolling endless to find those things, why not just make it myself?

Inspired by the YouTube channel LTT’s latest “30 day” switch to Linux challenge, for the month of June, I am doing a 30 day challenge to switch to FreeBSD. I currently dual boot Debian and Windows but I have been “daily driving” Linux for over 10 years now. I want to learn more about how operating systems work, and FreeBSD with its Linux binary compatibility and support for wine means it could possibly become the only OS on my desktop.

It turns out I had an OpenBSD.Amsterdam instance I had never upgraded 😬
Luckily, going manually from 7.2 to 7.9 worked 😅

I’ve been replacing sudo/doas on most of my FreeBSD boxes with something much smaller: mdo(1) + mac_do(4) from base.
No port. No sudoers parser. No setuid helper. Just a kernel MAC policy, a sysctl rule, and an explicit “SSH is the gate” security model.
Wrote up the full walkthrough for FreeBSD 15, including rule syntax, examples, caveats, and my surrounding hardening sysctls:

It's that time of the year when Ottawa is hotter than here.
Last year, at BSDCan, the weather was perfect.
I'm still sad that I can't make it this year, but there's always next year.
If you can, go. You won't regret it! -

Note: this is a very off-the-cuff tier list, using speed as the main qualifier, but the article explains exceptions to that as it goes on.

I had two spare 8GB RAM modules sodimm (2400 and 2666), I mounted besides my current RAM 16 GB (DDR4 2133), and it worked and the workstation did not exploded... 😅
Now I have 32GB 😎 without spending money...

Happy Sunday, #FediverseI'm dismantling a small Kubernetes cluster and converting everything into FreeBSD jails. From 3 VMs to 1 smaller one, better performance, easier maintenance.

New post!
As we all go about our day we discover bits of wisdom that WOW! and YES! seem to be directed at you.
I like to put these bits together in a file for later review. Using the programs `fortune` and `cowsay` and `lolcat` I made a little shell script that runs at a console login or when a terminal window/tab is opened and outputs a colourful, random fortune from my custom collection.

Updated post!
I like to install `keychain` to manage my SSH keys. When logging in for the first time after boot, it prompts me for the passphrase to unlock my key, then will maintain a single `ssh-agent` process across multiple login sessions.
Added a note about setting up keychain to launch at login for the fish shell.
