The headless Factorio game server runs absolute fine on FreeBSD 14.3 via Linuxlator (Linux API compatibility layer) and the linux-base-rl9 userland package 😊

The factory must grow !! 😄

📢 NetBSD 11.0 release is imminent!

Release is getting a massive upgrade. Community need your help to ensure it runs smoothly on everything from modern servers to vintage workstations.

✨ What to test:
• Improved RISC-V Support
• ZFS & Kernel stability
• Your favorite pkgsrc tools

🔥 The Challenge: #RunOnAnything. Install the Beta on your most interesting hardware and show us the results!

True that. Each of the BSDs have their unique talents. *BSD is one love - always #RUNBSD

"Just" 270 MB for...an idle server?
Debian is still a great distributions but let's measure the ram consumption of a freshly installed *BSD or Illumos based server. The numbers are totally different.

I've just used them, so time to repost this:

I look forward to the @vermaden weekly newsletter as much as I anticipate a perfect tiramisu after a superb lunch. It is truly the cherry on top.
That special something that helps me kick off the week in style.

If you need a USB WiFi adapter for BSDs https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/global/wireless_adapters_n150/ew-7811un/

You can use it until you get the firmware for another WiFi adapter, or just keep using it

Trying out some GhostBSD for a change. It's a pretty solid desktop experience ngl. The Mate desktop is better (and prettier) than my (old) memories about it.

But on my ThinkPad, I still prefer vanilla FreeBSD with XFCE4 as that feels more like "home" 🙂

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!

After replying to an e-mail in the bugs@openbsd.org mailing list regarding the borked bootup, Theo de Raadt replied and confirmed that a snapshot went out without the commit for the ABI break, and it was replaced by a newer snapshot that did have it. He recommended updating using a miniroot snapshot.

Downloaded the latest miniroot78 snapshot from an #OpenBSD mirror, brewed some water for my mate as the miniroot78 snapshot image written to a USB drive, and then booted from it on the laptop. Update went through wonderfully and I'm back to a booting OpenBSD system. 🧉 ​​​ #RunBSD
