This is a quality comment on a video about how much benefit Netflix gets from FreeBSD.

Just updated (make buildworld) #FreeBSD Current ( #main) 15.0. As always, everything went smoothly!

Just a quick note: on first boot, the laptop didn’t connect to Wi-Fi because the driver (iwlwifi module – https://man.freebsd.org/iwlwifi/4) was missing.
If you run into the same issue, just enable USB tethering on your smartphone, load urndis (https://man.freebsd.org/urndis/4), and simply run # fwget (https://man.freebsd.org/fwget/8).

Now time for a nice pkg upgrade -f to finish things up… and everything’s up to date!

Screenshot of a FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT desktop running Xfce 4.20 with a terminal window showing neofetch output. System details include an AMD Ryzen 5 3450U CPU with Radeon Vega Mobile graphics, 1920x1080 resolution, and 2.1 GiB memory used. The terminal shell is tcsh, and 1069 packages are installed via pkg. Another terminal shows uname -a output confirming the kernel was built on June 30, 2025. In the background, the sysctlview GUI is open, displaying kernel version information. The desktop background features a photo of blueberries, and a small Beastie icon is visible on the desktop.

🖥️ My ultra-budget server powering http://websysctl.alfonsosiciliano.net has been running smoothly for the past 2 months. So far, so good!

📈 #Crawlers hit tens of thousands of sysctl parameter pages daily. That's fine, since robots.txt allows it. But why keep requesting non-existent pages as if the site were built with WordPress 😤 ? Fortunately, the stack (#FreeBSD freebsd + #OpenResty 🌐 + #Lapis ✏️ + a custom-built #database 📦 ) stays well within the limited resources of my $5/month cloud server.

The code might soon be #OpenSource stay tuned!

#UNIX #sysctl #WebDev #WebServer #ThePowerToServe #coding #Lua #kernel

Screenshot of the "Tree MIB" page from the WebSysctl site. The left panel shows an expandable tree view of the FreeBSD sysctl MIB hierarchy, with nodes like sysctl, kern, vm, sys, security, and their subcategories. The security.mac.mmap_revocation_via_cow node is selected. The right panel displays detailed information about this sysctl parameter, including its link, OID, name, description ("Revoke mmap access to files via copy-on-write semantics, or by removing all write access"), type (integer), format (I), flags (RD, WR, MPSAFE), label, and handler status (Defined). The top navigation bar includes links: Home, Docs, Table, Tree (highlighted), Update, Login, and Contacts.

Screenshot of a FreeBSD desktop showing multiple open windows. The background terminal window displays make install logs for Nginx from the FreeBSD ports system on the Server. In the foreground, two browser windows are visible. One is open to the FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE upgrade guide, outlining the use of freebsd-update to upgrade the system. The second browser window displays the website http://websysctl.alfonsosiciliano.net
