Friends using OpenBSD for e-mail servers: I'm using rspamd and it's fine, but what about the base system "spamd"?

    @stefano This is indeed a great post. Refreshing to read - the author didn't distro-bash but instead highlighted how needs were met.I have been leaning toward #FreeBSD after 20 years on #Debian, which has a special place in my heart. However, FreeBSD's *consistency*, elegant design, and better documentation are driving factors and I just can't look away. Over these two decades, Linux has definitely changed. It's no longer what it once was: a #Unix clone. It's evolved into its own thing. Software does that and that's OK. But a lot of the changes or "improvements" have been needlessly reinventing the wheel with a worsening user experience and convoluted results. The audio subsystems (ALSA -> PulseAudio -> Pipewire and of course the mess that is/was JACK) and #SystemD are two big examples.On SystemD, I don't disagree that Linux needed a modern init system. SystemD is faster, but from a human perspective it's worse. I am now typing *more* characters to manage services. Is there a reason why it couldn't be designed to manage services like:> $SERVICE start/stop/restartInstead, we are left with:> systemctl $SERVICE start/stop/restartBut I digress.#TBT I fell in love with FreeBSD when I first started my Linux journey in the mid-2000s, but only dabbled in it as it was never in any production environment I managed.I have a FreeBSD VM sitting in my lab somewhere but due to other factors rarely do I get to it. I'm thinking it's time I grab a spare laptop, load it up, and use it as a daily driver to really force myself to learn it.

    The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy * You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!#FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #SmolBSD #MidnightBSD #DragonflyBSD #RUNBSD #FreeVPS #Hosting #IPv6 #DN42 #community #opensource #fosdem
