    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 πŸ—‘οΈ 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 πŸ˜‰ here https://pub.v32bis.cc/eurobsdcon.html

    Update for #nvidia #GPU #driver #ports on #FreeBSD to 580.95.05 landed as commit 7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3d. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3dWe were pending it as kmod pkg repo still didn't have nvidia things and bapt was looking into it, but as of this information https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5703the commit was done without waiting for the reply from bapt.#FreeBSD is not entitled there, but as #FreeBSD native #drivers are known to shares most source codes with corresponding Linux versions, FreeBSD can be affected, too. So users of non-legacy versions of driver ports are strongly encouraged to upgrade.With this reason, the commit is already merged into 2025Q4, as security fix is one of the branket approval by portmgr and secteam. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?h=2025Q4&id=067be176997589baacd63c5e5db1981d3949cdb1Note that oldest branch listed is 535.

    Quick tip:> bastille create alcatraz 14.3-RELEASE 10.17.89.63β†’ In one command, you’ve got an isolated FreeBSD jail spun up. Perfect for testing or deploying apps safely and cleanly.#FreeBSD #BastilleBSD

    Hey #FreeBSD friends: Is there some kind of severe rate/connection throttling in base sshd? I was able to connect once and then since then, it hangs. If I telnet to port 22 I do get a banner but the key exchange just hangs and I get a connection reset after a while.Am I better off disabling the base sshd and install openssh server?
