    Started to touch FreeBSD jail and Bhyve VMs, using them for some programming project. Damn, if only I have such unlimited power near 15 years ago, when I was in university!Need to have a building environment with some libraries for FastCGI and PostgreSQL installed? No problem, write a Bastillefile which enables sshd and mounts my catalog with projects inside the jail via the nullfs magic. Then create thin jail, apply this template to it and boom — I have a ready development environment with ssh access and all necessary stuff. Just connect to it and build the program, all necessary sources are already here.Need to test program on the NetBSD? No problem — just create Bhyve VM with preinstalled netbsd template, then install OS with comp set and setup some services: Nginx, PostgreSQL, spawn-fcgi, etc… Then type C-x d /ssh:drag0n@10.0.0.2:~ in the Emacs, copy sources via Dired and I can test my program on the environment, as close as possible to the my home server.All things looks so integrated in the OS and console software are so good, that it is incomparable with my Docker trips at work When programming become fun again #FreeBSD #bhyve #Bastille

    Day two of using #freebsd again.The resolution of the wifi issue was as simple as pressing the enable radio button on the keyboard. Good thing I read the messages on startup this time.After quite a bit of struggle I've gotten wayfire going (with an old nvidia card no less). The other challenge I faced is while Sway or Wayfire would launch, I couldn't run anything. No foot, alacritty, no dmenu, wayfire's bar would crash, the swaybar had boxes for icons. This took me much longer than I would like to admit to solve.Somehow it's possible on Freebsd to install all of this and not install a font. in one sense I appreciate the modularity. Sometimes on Linux I've felt like one little tool brings with it an entire desktop environment and a GB of software. This might be on the extreme other end. Added doas, rofi, firefox and started tweaking the interface. I haven't figured out the startup splash screen yet, or how to launch sddm or something like it on startup. But that's coming.Back years ago I never had a computer that could run Compiz. So I get to relive some of those aspirations with Wayfire. The effects are neat without being terribly annoying. The laptop I'm using was made in 2008 or 2009. And quite remarkably it does not feel slow at all. The genie effect is faster than any Mac when the Dock had that option. The cube rotates smoothly.And most surprising, launching Firefox seems almost instant. I had a dozen tabs open and not a glitch, even watching a YouTube video and swapping screens with the cube effect.I think I've managed to get this working without introducing many Linux-isms or the Linux ABI. I use Linux a lot, but I wanted something a bit more purely BSD for this machine.
