    #BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc! People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!Infos about how to connect by IRC to Libera IRC:- https://libera.chat/guides/connect#FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #DragonflyBSD #MidnightBSD #OpenSolaris #Debian #FreeVPS #VPS #FreeVM #VirtualMachines #OpenSource #BSD #RUNBSD

    @stefano I think if we are going to be analyzing RAM usage across OSes, then usage needs to be recorded every X minutes over a specific workload, with idle being baseline or control group. Just showing 270MB RAM at idle and then another single snapshot at 10GB of some kind of workload still doesn't tell much. It's difficult to infer anything else.

    @stefano @christopher I am not sure if I'd say #Linux is becoming like #Windows. I do recall similar statements made on the Debian-User mailing list on a previous release when xorg introduced autoconfiguration. A lot of people were pissed that it was making choices for you instead of manually configuring the xorg.conf file.Honestly, that was a good thing. Painful doesn't begin to describe it but users were unaware they could still hand-configure the file.There has been, however, more stuff added to Linux over the last several years. Call it bloat, call it whatever you want. OSes change. But it has been gradually moving away from simplicity.I miss the simplicity.However, to reply to your original post, coming from COTS solutions, sometimes the vast amount of choice can be overwhelming. For instance, when it comes to #FreeBSD #jails it used to just be jails. Now, it's thin, thick, classic, networking. I understand they have their places but it would be helpful to provide more detailed explanations, tutorials, or best practices for each. The FreeBSD Handbook is good but just scratches the surface but often leaves more questions. It would help with learning and in part...marketing.On a side note: The FreeBSD Handbook is a great resource but there are opportunities to improve it, like tailoring it to new users (better empathy), best practices, architectural examples, and links to additional resources and info.

    Are you working on something involving a BSD system that you would like to share with others?The Call for Papers period is open for AsiaBSDCon until November 30th, 2025 and for BSDCan until January 17, 2026.Check out the websites linked in the article, and get that submission in!What is BSD? Come to a conference to find out! https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_is_bsd_come_to_a_conference_to_find_out.html or https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/11/what-is-bsd-come-to-conference-to-find.html #asiabsdcon #bsdcan #bsd #dragonflyBSD #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd #conference

    Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD! BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD! This new feature is powered by @gyptazy! #BoxyBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #OpenBSD #DragonflyBSD #MidnightBSD #SmolBSD #Hosting #SelfHosting #Provider #BSD #FreeVPS #VPS #opensource #community #education #openeducation

    @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
