  1. 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...

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

  7. 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!

  8. 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!

  9. 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!

  12. 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.

    Web: boxybsd.com

    Thanks to @gyptazy for this :)
