I sense that #bhyve/#ARM64 will become very interesting in the 25 hours, thanks to John Baldwin doing John Baldwin-y things.

From the Jail/Zones Production User Call:

@lw This is great! Could it become an Article?

@darth From the way you have phrased this, I take it you are truly bothered that someone could hypothetically use BSD on 1,000 servers but are hypocrites for not using BSD on the system they manage them from?

@subnetspider For what it’s worth, I run a client Active Directory server under bhyve on a T330 with an HBA330 24/7.

@oxyhyxo @pitrh @bsdcan @bsdtv Tutorials are traditionally a paid option. The formula might be open to innovation.

@oxyhyxo @pitrh @bsdcan @bsdtv So this is weird.

For the #OpenZFS Summit I arranged for a remote participation ticket that includes a T-shirt and other SWAG.

Weeeeeird.

@oxyhyxo @pitrh @bsdcan Oooooooh. Hmm. Yeah. The debate rages on. What’s your position @bsdtv?

@oxyhyxo @pitrh @bsdcan Always streamed.

Recall all that noise I made about upgrading our kit?

Somewhat oblivious to seeing the forest from the trees...

Sylve has landed in ports/packages, Zelta is here, OpenZFS 2.4, and FreeBSD 15.0 are here, all representing a MAJOR milestone in Unix evolution. There are rough edges but these tools are extremely capable for many use cases.

Check out today's bhyve Production User Call for more and I am tempted to say...

WE CAN HAVE NICE THINGS and definitely have nice people.

Great work everyone! #GoTeam
