I’ve been thinking about something. I just tried FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 again on my mini PC (currently running openSUSE Tumbleweed) and it works well, even with Wayland.
The only thing I’m missing is suspend.
But I also have my Qotom, which currently serves as my home server, with 16 gigabytes of RAM. What if I installed FreeBSD on my mini PC and moved the Qotom’s workload into a VM, passing the disks directly through to the VM?I’d still have 48 gigabytes of RAM for my workstation, which is more than enough, and I’d be using FreeBSD.
I’m really tempted to at least give it a try...

@stefano
Sounds like a plan to me! 😎 -

@stefano 48gb of ram? What are you using?

@cienmilojos It has a total of 64 GB of ram. That's why I say that 48 is plenty. Probably, 16 would be more than plenty. I also have some VMs for some tests so I need some spare ram for them.

@omar yes, exactly. I'll try to contact Aymeric to offer some help to debug this but I'm not sure we're close to a solution. So, meanwhile, I'll try to solve this way.

@stefano if you have installed pkg base any chance that you try to install a jail with one of the new datasets?.
Just found not to be working for me, seems that the url of the PKG repo is not valid or the trusted key installed on the RC by default does not work

@dorubab I haven't tried, yet. But I surely will.

Is this the version of FreeBSD 15 that was supposed to come out for us normal mortals in December?

@ajlewis2 yes, it is. But the RC4 is available and can be downloaded: https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/15.0/

Si e no, nel senso che le persone che incontro io scrivono comunque nella casella di ricerca che compare quando si apre il browser, non lo sanno che scrivendo nella barra degli i indirizzi avviano la ricerca.

@EdwinG @evan what about troops? Or a citizen that has children and grandchildren that they care about living in the US? It's complex

Apropos of a throwaway comment by @quixoticgeek : how many folks here actually own a NeXT computer?
Do you own a NeXT ?

@etchedpixels Yes, and I don't doubt that the bonobos would have been the better choice

@astronomerritt You make a heartfelt plea for content warnings, but your plea is not helped by by your claim of "forcible viewing". People can scroll on.

A reminder that your mods can mark posts as sensitive. If you see someone posting that but don't want harsh action taken against them because it's clearly a mistake you should do a local report and leave a note to your mods to just mark those as sensitive.
