#Linux: 30 (and snapd isn't even present)
#FreeBSD: 1 (this is on a Jailed web server, so it might be somewhat obfuscated. I don't have a FreeBSD machine at home right now)
#OpenBSD: 5 (tilde.institute)
#NetBSD: 5 (tilde.pink)

Progress!! I managed to get the #PinePhonePro screen working on #FreeBSD 🎉 Long way to go yet, but this is a massive step forward for making FreeBSD usable on the device.

I just launched the new @BoxyBSD self-service portal where you can finally manage your BSD based box instances on your own - and I really love this minimalistic and terminal alike design.

The installer currently supports #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD and also #Illumos (#OpenSolaris).

Have fun and #RUNBSD!

I'm getting somewhere checking roots mail and I see /bin/sh: root: not found so maybe I cannot run that as root ???

Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!

Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.

FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.

You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).

Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands – with many more regions coming soon!

FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.

Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
https://fedimeteo.com

Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️

I got asked to share the current BSD distribution at my @BoxyBSD project and we can clearly see that the most ones prefer #FreeBSD. But there’re also many ones jumping around but mostly stick back to fbsd.

Whatever #BSD you run or prefer - it’s just up to you and they’re all great! #RUNBSD

Work in progress and coming soon, in a Fediverse near you

#Fediverse #FreeBSD #NewProject #ComingSoon #NewYearNewProjects

Hey #FreeBSD people .. I'm firing up a new social networking site (special interest thing; #Retrocomputing in #Norway) plus perhaps some auxiliary services like a forum or whatnot. I am currently running #Pleroma and #Pixelfed (and #PeerTube, but that's not the kind of service I have in mind); which other ActivityPub software works and is maintainable on FreeBSD - and preferably without too much political baggage?

Starting to write down questions and things to do so that I can migrate from TrueNAS Core to vanilla FreeBSD for my home server.

I suspect that this will be easier than I think (thanks to ZFS), but it's very worrying, especially since I don't have a good way to back up 1.25 TB of data.

Guess I'll have to buy a new beefier external drive.

#FreeBSD Users. Whats was your first version you have played with?

For some light Christmas reading I have @mwl’s FreeBSD Mastery: ZFS, and am being constantly reminded about how infinitely superior #FreeBSD’s driver architecture is compared to #Linux.

ZFS and PBS are simply awesome - and you can use it on BSD but also on Linux! It ensures your data integrity and provides you additional benefits with features like compression and deduplication. Imagine this disk space usage without it?!

Es geht weiter in meiner Artikelreihe: "FreeBSD als Server"

Ein wichtiger Meilenstein, der das Thema #FreeBSD Virtualisierung mit #BHYVE behandelt. FreeBSD hat eine ausgewachsene Virtualisierung, die hervorragend geeignet ist, andere Betriebssysteme zu starten.

https://bsdbox.de/blog/2024-12-22-freebsd-server-teil5

Damit startet dann auch eine eigene parallele Artikelreihe, wie die unterschiedlichen VMs am besten installiert werden können.

It continues in my article series: "FreeBSD as a server"

An important milestone that deals with the topic of #FreeBSD virtualisation with #BHYVE . FreeBSD has a fully-fledged virtualization that is ideally suited to starting other operating systems.

https://bsdbox.de/en/blog/2024-12-22-freebsd-server-teil5

This also marks the start of a parallel series of articles on how best to install the various VMs.
