    OK... So like the encrypted home ZFS thing in #FreeBSD. How come I have to log in as root on every boot up and "zfs load-key" and "zfs mount" manually? Is there a way to do that on login or should I just give up using encryption on $HOME?

    Don't be a fool (like I was) when it comes to #jails on #FreeBSD. I ignored them despite using FreeBSD for decades, because I had no problem that could not be solved w/o them and thought "why learn yet another technology I barely need".But it's not only about solving problems. It gives you a super lightweight and fast tool to test things (and trashing 🗑️ them with zfs destroy) without cluttering your configs or interfering with production services.E.g. I hesitated to run a webserver for publishing content because I didn't want a publicly accessible Apache on my mail relays, nor on my Nextcloud instance at home.With jails, the MX is left unmodified. If I feel like it I could move it to a different system just using tar or cpio or zfs send.All I needed to accomplish that was a few shell scripts to initially generate a jail template and, of course, the invaluable book "FreeBSD Mastery: Jails" of @mwl .What motivated me to get started? All thespeakers at #EuroBSDCon showing what incredible things they do with Jails. Especially >>IMUNES: A Network Emulation and Simulation Tool Built on FreeBSD<<.If you want to watch the IMUNES talk you can find the link on my jailed webserver 😉 here https://pub.v32bis.cc/eurobsdcon.html

    Goodbye to Pop!OS and cosmic desktop, at least for now. Tonight I installed #Freebsd 14.3 on my first generation core-i series Dell laptop. The Intel Centrino wireless is supported, which is great news. Hopefully I'll figure out what steps I'm missing to get it to connect.Modules are loaded, rc.conf edited, the interface is up / shows up with ifconfig, but it doesn't scan. It looks like the regulatory domain was set automatically during setup. So I'm not sure what I'm missing.I don't think I've every used a BSD with wifi, so it's a new challenge. Everything is a bit different than I'm used to. At least my old habit of typing ifconfig actually works, unlike on Linux these days.
