Open source dilemma in the EU too: many see benefits, too few contribute
Advantages of open source software are recognized by many EU organizations, according to the Linux Foundation. There is a lack of contributions to development.

Tonight I made a simple, yet destructive (or at least partly) mistake: when I told FreeBSD which disk to destroy, I accidentally gave it the system disk of my little home server. This happened because it had the same size as the external SSD I had just plugged in, and I got confused.
I lost some reproducible configurations (the server’s name was in fact tempfbsd01), but I took the chance to run an experiment. My home server runs FreeBSD in read-only mode (that's the part I destroyed). From there, I manually enable the external drives (encrypted with GELI) and, in turn, the ZFS pools. Then I start the various jails and the (single, Proxmox Backup Server) VM.
Since I also have another test box running SmartOS, I decided to experiment: I connected the disks to it, created a FreeBSD bhyve VM on SmartOS, and passed the entire disks through to the VM. I reconfigured the FreeBSD VM with the bare minimum and booted it all up. The jails with BastilleBSD started without any issues - obviously the Proxmox Backup Server VM itself is still missing, but I’ll deal with that later.
I’m tempted to leave everything like this for a while.
And yes, for anyone wondering: I had fun 🙂

I have a client who uses Proxmox and its backup server. Last week, I upgraded the backup server from Debian 12 to 13. The backup server "sleeps" most of the day, so it also runs Docker for a Gitea runner. Everything seemed fine initially.
Then, my client messaged me yesterday because the runner had stopped working. When I logged in, I found that for some reason, the runner could no longer connect to the Docker socket, even though I was passing it the official way. I tried the same thing on a different Debian 13 server and got the same result. But, on a Debian 12 VM using the (old) Docker from the Debian repos, everything worked perfectly.
This incident just reinforces my point that for production servers, it’s crucial to use solutions that don't introduce breaking changes between releases. It seems to be an Apparmor issue (thanks @gyptazy for the head up!).
Because this component was non-critical and easily replaceable, I didn't pay much attention to testing it right after the server upgrade.
