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/

@ben what do you mean by "alternative tech stack"? Independent, clean-room replica of all US technology? Or something else?

@quixoticgeek instead of three buttons, they should be three toggles, one for boosts, one for replies, one for media only.

stavolta però #ICE ha risposto subito confermandomi il loro lavoro alle #OlimpiadiParalimpiadi di #MilanoCortina2026 e questo mi ha colpito: vuol dire che in era #Trump lo rivendicano
