As I lost sponsoring (due to a whole location shutdown) for my @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe & @BoxedTux@mastodon.social in North America, I’m looking for sponsors in US and Canada.The requirements are pretty low:NO IPv4min. IPv6 /48 subnet routedNetwork (ARIN/RIPE/…) should be personalized (netname, abuse,..)Optionally: BYOIPARPA delegation for the net to my nameserversmin. 2x 500G disk space (SATA SSD or better)min. 48G memory per nodebandwidth doesn’t really matter (100Mbit is fine)Remote MGMT to systemsSponsors are being listed on #BoxyBSD and #BoxedTux on the sponsoring page and announced on LinkedIn, Fediverse and X as new sponsors.#bsd #freebsd #netbsd #openbsd #openindiana #education #learning #opensource

Happy Weekend! In a few hours, Open Source Conference 2026 Japan in #Nagoya will be held at the Fukiage Hall in Chikusa Ward:https://event.ospn.jp/osc2026-nagoya/One of their talks is from the Nagoya #BSD Users Group, and seems to target #NetBSD in particular. That sounds pretty awesome, and definitely one of the ones I'm going to attend.https://event.ospn.jp/osc2026-nagoya/session/2296979I wonder what the chances are I'll find anyone from Fedi in there? Anyone feeling like dropping by "boring city" on a Saturday? #OSC2026 #OpenSource #Conference

#HappyFriday to my friends, followers, #BSDCafe community, #BSD and everyone on the Fediverse I wish you a nice day before this extended weekend ️

@FreeBSDFoundation Looks great!

I'll be speaking at NYC*BUG on June 3. So... show up? You can show up online, no expensive flight to Manhattan needed.https://www.nycbug.org/#BSD #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #DragonFlyBSD #Unix #Linux #Solaris #Illumos

Seven years of running FreeBSD on ThinkPads alongside Linux — lessons I'd give my younger self<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/seven_years_of_running_freebsd_on_thinkpads/>＂I daily-drive Linux at work and FreeBSD on my personal ThinkPads (T480 & P52 currently). Both laptops and both operating systems, every day. I'm the kind of person who reads freebsd-update output and Phoronix benchmarks in the same hour.＂Recently saw the "is FreeBSD really that goated" thread and it brought back the timeline of my own journey. Started with a rough —call it version 0.9 — build that barely had X11 working, evolved through five iterations, landed on something I'd call "production-stable personal desktop" around version 2.0 on FreeBSD 15.0 with a heavily customized MATE, ZFS boot environments, BastilleBSD jails for microservices, WireGuard tunnels and PF.＂If I could send a packet back in time to my earlier self, here's what I'd put in the payload: …＂The image here is for <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/comment/om1t5mg/> because we can all agree that em dashes make scintillating conversation.#goated #X11 #Wales #FreeBSD #BSD #Linux #ZFS #OpenZFS #Beastie #daemon #MyLittlePony #unicorn #dolphin #rainbow #IBM #Lenovo #BastilleBSD #WireGuard #AI #purple

@thezerobit One linuxmint ( tower, ubuntu) one linuxmint ( laptop, debian edition ) three freebsd (towers,15.0 zfs file systems .) All are usable, all run either matè or cinnamon. BOINC required the linux.

Lighter and more customizable are good things. Both would be advantages in my use case, as I like working with older hardware and also customizing.

@calcifer Disclaimer: I'm a (very) longtime FBSD user and am very comfortable with it.In general I view the three main versions as:FBSD: best general, all-around OS for the architectures it runs on.OpenBSD: highly security focused but not as much depth/options.NetBSD: runs on everything but doesn't offer much by way of depth.There are others based on these three but I've never touched them.*I* would start with FBSD and see how it feels to you.

New post: FreeBSD resource monitoring and accounting.A practical tour of the base-system toolkit for figuring out *what is actually using my server*: top, vmstat, systat, gstat, netstat/sockstat, procstat, pfctl, and per-jail attribution with kern.racct and rctl.No ports, no agents. Just FreeBSD.https://blog.hofstede.it/freebsd-resource-monitoring-accounting-and-troubleshooting/#FreeBSD #BSD #Jails #pf #SysAdmin #DevOps #Unix #BSD #Blog

@spk @Toxic_Flange @joel Proxmox continues to be the most useful solution for my lab needs. I have pointed others to Incus when they seek a less robust option.https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/
