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.

@stefano So it's not about solving the suspend/resume but consolidating hardware. Sounds good, signore.

@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/

@_elena There are definitely accounts here that post #AISlop images. Many of the ones i see are using them along with the #infosec hashtag which i follow.
While it's certainly better than many other places, there are people who for some reason or another will post links to articles, blogs or whatever and instead of allowing the link preview to generate, will add some AI image.
Usually these are very small accounts here doing it, but i've muted a few large ones doing it as well.

@brunosaetta cosa potrebbe accadere adesso? Un auspicio che sia la X nera ad auto punirsi e chiudere i battenti nel vecchio continente.
Gli europei hanno il dovere di essere indipendenti nel settore della tecnologia, dei social, nella politica estera, nella forza industriale (prima i prodotti Europei), nella difesa militare, etc etc.

@ambergrey I couldn't believe the comment section on Reddit... people complimenting the rescues as if they were real... when they were so obviously AI generated. RIP critical thinking 😭

It's Monday, and that means an essay. Today's is a call-to-care about the value of Free/Libre and Open Source Software. It's written in part for those who don't already know and value F/LOSS, but also as a reminder that now is the time to care about software which helps us exercise agency.

@_elena it’s so frustrating having to be vigilant all the time to avoid ai stuff.

@max @admin (rispondo da qui che faccio prima): Provo a vedere cosa posso aggiungere (di solito evito città molto vicine, ma Scandicci è già sufficientemente grande) - per le informazioni, FediMeteo utilizza OpenMeteo

@jan awww that's terrible. I'm thinking of the devastating effects on the environment because of the energy required to create that crap... and then I think of my child and the planet we're leaving her... it's just so pointless and enraging and... I have no words 😭
I've become a total Karen but I don't care. If someone in my family fires up ChatGPT during a discussion, I always go: "do you know how many bottles of water your request required? Think of the environment!"
