doas freebsd-update fetch install
and then rebooted but it still says 14.2p1 in fastfetch or uname -a but if I do freebsd-version it shows 14.2-RELEASE-p2 ??? Any ideas ??I had to modify my FreeBSD - OpenSMTPD blog post because of this: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/opensmtpd-7-6-0-wont-start-after-upgrade-freebsd-14-2.96410/
Upgrading one of my servers led to a broken setup.
Be careful!
Found graphics/drm-66-kmod landed on main (aka latest) branch of ports tree on FreeBSD.
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=00508c01e2762632f758b64b12abf1e2918c6cf9
But supported only on fairly recent main branch of FreeBSD base (aka -Current) at least for now.
I've posted some info at forums.freebsd.org.

I'm pleased to announce that my company, Prodottoinrete Group SRL, will be a BRONZE SPONSOR of EuroBSDCon 2025.
The organizers do a great job managing everything, and the least we can do is offer a (small) contribution to help the conference maintain the current standards, which, in my opinion, are extremely high.
So, a big thank you to the organizers, the speakers, and everyone who contributes to making this event so great.

I have some strange and annoying problem with my @frameworkcomputer #Framework 16 notebook: Since a few months, when the notebook is running non-stop for a few days, the touchpad and the keyboard stop responding. The keyboard is responding again after a few seconds but not the touchpad.
Only after the notebook has been shut down for a day or so, the touchpad starts responding again but not if it is powered down only for a few minutes.
Framework support has sent a replacement touchpad which shows the same behaviour and they otherwise are not helpful at all. They just keep asking the same questions, do not care to read my replies and tell me it is because I am running #FreeBSD and this is "not a supported Linux distro" (sigh...).
Does anybody have any idea what could be the problem?
I have been quite happy with the notebook but this kind of customer support experience is really frustrating...
Hey #FreeBSD fam,
I have started using Kagi search, and am already loving their lens feature.
If you are unfamiliar, it's a way to focus your search beyond, "search the entire fracking index for this one thing," and so far really handy.
You can of course, make your own, so I want to make a FreeBSD-centric lens.
Any sites anyone can think to include in such a beast? Obviously, the FreeBSD site and handbook, man pages, freshports, etc. I'll also include @vermaden 's site, and some other BSD blogs.
I'm looking for suggestions here. Sites that have good FreeBSD content.
I'll share the lens when I have something useful put together.

I'm switching from signal-desktop to gurk-rs, I can't deal with my build server getting tied down for 75ish hours every time I need to rebuild the electron32 dependency.
💻 Me: "Alright, it's probably time to order a new laptop for conferences. Nothing too expensive, but powerful enough. Maybe something customizable. I think about it for a few days… and decide: I'll get a Framework!"
🔗 Opens website…
🎤 Framework: "Hey! We're announcing a new laptop on February 25th!"

#Docker alike container management on #FreeBSD? Let's have a look at #Kleene - which works very similar to Docker and makes the shift for Linux users even easier to #Jails without having deeper knowledge but by benefiting of all the features on Jails.

In the age of GenAI and privacy abuse, open-source software and everyone who is contributing to building, maintaining, and supporting FLOSS are real heroes. Today, I thank all of them on this #ilovefs day.
I appreciate keeping software free so everyone can afford and use it. I love #Vim, #Linux, and #FreeBSD very much.
Thank you.

Bought a used #ThinkCentre on fleabay today.
Thinking of trying out #FreeBSD on it as a daily driver. ;)
On second thought, I don't think I can run #KerbalSpaceProgram on it. I'm wondering how good the Linux "emulation" is. Hrmmm, maybe #OpenSuSE instead (sorry #BSD brethren!)

Hey #homelab users!
You probably already know me by my free @BoxyBSD project and I often got asked about IPv4 addresses. Currebtly, I tinker with a new but also honestly not free service. The idea is creating a static IP service for homelab users. I'm aware that there're already some around, so what could be some benefits here?
- Static single #IPv4 & #IPv6 /48 (so you can subnet your homelab to several /64 without breaking #slacc)
- Bigger subnets (IPv4: /29, /28, /27 | IPv6: /32)
- Full RIPE personalization (inc. abuse & Co)
- #OpenVPN, #Wireguard, #GRE Support
- Auto configure (e.g., you load the wireguard config on any client and the addresses Arena immediately bound to that interface)
- Split usage / multiple tunnels: Use different IPs from your subnets at different locations
- Integration into #BoxyBSD
- Location in Germany or Netherlands (selectable)
- Hosted on redundant #FreeBSD nodes
Pricing:
- The starter package probably around 10€/month (not more) + 15€ setup including 2T traffic
- Pricing for addiriinal/larger subnets not yet sure, probably higher setup fees to avoid hoppers and spamers to keep the addresses clean
- Optional traffic packages (when exceeding speed Limit of 10Mbit which should still be ok for most homelabs)
World this be interesting? Im aware that many ones already do this by VPS themselves, so this might just be a bit easier and optionally offering whole networks including RIPE personalizations.
