Something is afoot! A new project is underway, and I have a lot of learning to do! #FreeBSD

Pretty interesting how an old hardware works well and compute well in the strange configurations.
Prereqs: Intel Atom N2800 1866 MHz and 2 Gb RAM.
Since there are no NetBSD builds of xray-core and v2raya — I spin up a FreeBSD VM inside the Qemu and without NVMM accelerator (not supported by my CPU). Execute these programs inside this VM — and the server still running and even doesn't overload 
Processes graph from Munin. It shows that there are near 53 processes before 11:00 and near 65 processes after this time.
The memory usage by category graph. It shows rise of anon memory from 0.3 Gb to 0.8 Gb at near 11:00 or 12:00.
Load average graph from Munin. Overall usage were at near 0.3 but raised to 0.8 at 11:30. With one visible spike to 2.8 at near 12:50
CPU usage graph from Munin. The graph shows 5-10% CPU usage. The graph rises to near 5% at near 11:40. With one visible spike to 120% at near 12:50.

Finally!
I'm happy to announce the R1OS Forum, a place for everyone interested in free and open source software that wants to discuss about it, get help using it, or simply want to be part of a new community.

#FreeBSD testing BETA3 by progressively rolling it out in production, to find those sweet sweet bugs, before RELEASE, so you don’t have to.
Thank me later!
trying to get anyone to care about the fact that FreeBSD 15.0 is about to be released and the installer doesn't boot on powerpc64le (pSeries / PowerNV) is surprisingly difficult.
re@ is now pestering people to fix it under the threat of declaring it an unsupported platform for the release, but that doesn't seem to be having much effect.

pkg query --evaluate '%o = base' '%o\n\n%e\n\n----\n\n'
Why does it not get descriptions of installed base packages?

finished landing the fix for this FreeBSD bug: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289198
this is quite fun. in one sense, it's a fairly serious bug: inet_net_pton() is completely broken for IPv6; it simply doesn't work and returns garbage output. but this bug has been present since 2006, when this function was first imported into libc, and no one noticed until August of this year when the PR was filed.
what i conclude this from is that literally no one uses these functions, and they should probably have never been imported in the first place. but, well, we can't remove them without breaking ABI compatibility, so now they're here forever, like an obnoxious uninvited party guest.
