So my Intel N100 quad core with 16Gb ram and a 256GB NVME drive and 4 x 2.5Gb ethernet ports has arrived with pfSense preinstalled but I'm thinking I'd be better off with #OPNsense installed instead?
Am I right as this is going to be my main router / firewall ? Feel free to comment and thank you.
No I'm not using #OpenWRT anymore sorry.

@dharmik isn't it kind of ironic that Linuxusers.in is using #freebsd ? ;-)

How to configure #Matrix #Synapse on #FreeBSD with #OIDC via Microsoft Azure AD / Entra.

Damn, I need to trash my #FreeBSD box ;)

I've just launched the version of my blog with a BSD-based theme. The main colors are inspired by the BSDs, and badges will appear if a post includes one (or more) BSD in its categories. I've applied a few fixes (there are more to come), but it's already fully usable.
The site is designed to be navigable even without images or JavaScript, and can be used with text-based browsers. The only feature that requires JavaScript is the search function, which runs locally in the user's browser for maximum security and privacy.

For those who have already visited the site in recent days, you might not see the new theme correctly as some CSS parts could still be cached in your browser. I’ve set long expiration times for the CSS, so browsers may not notice the changes right away.

@amoroso beyond all expectations, I installed #Interlisp from source on #FreeBSD today.

I was doing a quick test of how much pain it would be to create a port package for #freebsd

Maiko built on the first try.
I got the runtime via git.
I got the prebuilt loadups.

After unpacking, I ran the (obsolete) startup script and…it just worked. Medley running under Wayland.

Was it. Supposed. To work?

ProxMox Load Balancer
A new version is released. If you deal with ProxMox in any form you'd be wise to see what this powerful tool can do for you. When you realize it is one of the tools you've been missing in managing your different VMS in ProxMox rest assured you will be very glad you now know of its existence.

Going back to freebsd, got the keyboard sorta under control after reboot? It's still slow but not as bad. Is this a console problem or what?

First time putting xfce on it, and GUIDO there's a lot of py311 shit in there. Glad I didn't install a Python already, just chez-scheme.

Setting up a basic #firewall with #pf on #FreeBSD

If you use Jails ( #FreeBSD ) or some other virtualisation technology to separate the e.g. MySQL-Server from the Webserver, you often use the tcp/ip setup instead of sockets. The firewall rules need to restrict the access though.

When I launched the #BoxyBSD project my goal was to create a welcoming, free space for beginners to dive into BSD-based systems and learn at their own pace. I’m a huge fan of free and open-source software, so I naturally gravitated toward Matrix for the chat setup right from the start. But honestly, #Matrix isn’t always the smoothest ride - especially for newcomers. It can get a bit tricky, and that’s the last thing I want when I’m trying to make people feel at ease. My focus is on helping beginners get comfortable, encouraging them to experiment, and letting them discover the value of #BSD (like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, etc.) for themselves - not throwing them into something that might feel overwhelming.
That’s why I decided to add a Discord server alongside Matrix. It’s just simpler for a lot of people, and I want to meet folks where they’re at. But I’m not a fan of scattered conversations across platforms - it drives me nuts - so I’ve bridged the main channels on Discord and Matrix. That way, we’re all still chatting together, no matter which spot you prefer - simply one thing: #RUNBSD!

#Poll: are you "dog-fooding" #BSD?

Unlike previous polls () I have tried really hard to make sure the options make sense. Select the lowest item in the list that is true for you:

Of the ten options, the first four are for those that don't use BSD regularly (let's say at least once per week).
The fifth option ("VPN/server") is for someone who uses BSD on a server they manage, but don't have physical access to.
The sixth ("at work") through eighth ("secondary laptop/desktop") is for those who regularly use some variant of BSD, but not as a primary daily driver.
The ninth and tenth options are for "dog-fooding"

Oh, right, and I'm sorry, but it really must need be said: MacOS, iOS, and other Apple products do not count. Sorry again. I will count any FOSS BSD-like OSes like #OpenIndiana, though.
I will also count retro commercial Unixes, if you're actually daily-driving them. ;)

My other options are Debian testing, #FreeBSD (probably will lose the ability to run KSP), or #OpenSuSE tumbleweed (if they can ever just enable polkit by default, already).

Sorry, why not Debian stable? I've been rocking it for a year and a half now.

@amin

Eh...

It's a rolling release, so it's got that going for it, but a lot/most of their custom utilities (such as the package manager) is still on Python 2, which is... not good.

/usr/bin/python is even a symlink to python2 which is really not good.

Small team. Looks like the original dev, who started a new distro, is going to re-work a lot of those things, which will be the basis for Solus going forward, so there's a lot of hope for newer and better utilities.

To be clear, my only real complaint so far is the python2-ness of it.

Also, they don't have a ksh package (which some of my scripts require), but I managed to compile the standard ksh2020.

I don't know if I will stay. #Python2 is kind of a deal-breaker.

Still slowly replicating my #KDE #Plasma setup from my work #Debian box. I have a lot of custom keybinds that make it a little more like i3/sway for me.

My other options are Debian testing, #FreeBSD (probably will lose the ability to run KSP), or #OpenSuSE tumbleweed (if they can ever just enable polkit by default, already).

This evening I am configuring #Samba on #FreeBSD. I fucking hate configuring samba. Anyone got a smb.conf I can nick? Just needs to share a directory, to authenticated users on the local network who have accounts on the machine, and respect all Unix permissions.
