My Sunday challenge: installing #Devuan in place of #OpenBSD on my laptop so I can install #postmarketOS on an old tablet, because for some reason I only have a blue USB port on that laptop (my SFF PC has a whole bunch of USB ports, but none are blue). Let's see how well restoring the backup will work once I reinstall OpenBSD.
I wonder how many years worth of work would it take to create a #NetBSD / #smolBSD based mobile distro after #postmarketOS has done more progress...

Learn how smolBSD creates minimal (10 MB) NetBSD VMs that boot in 10ms. Full UNIX system, Docker-like workflow, runs on QEMU and Firecracker.

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!

The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!
* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!
* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy
* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.
* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)
This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!

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 :)
