#BSD

@nixCraft

#NeXT / #Apple had the right idea.

* User homes are in /Users

* Each app is in /Applications and looks like a regular file but is actually a folder (i.e. you can cd into it and examine the contents)

* The operating system is in /System

* Files shared among apps (except files that come with the OS), including configuration files, are in /Library

* Static libraries, debug info, C headers, OS API reference docs, etc go in /Developer

Welcome to our place 🙋‍♂️
By the way, we also use a #BSD for our instance 🙃

@Tutanota Linux -> #BSD

Good news for a change.

California lawmakers pushed a new bill to exempt open-source projects from age verification law.

That would include Linux and BSD.

I always ask similar questions like the following,

What will you do when you discover that the kernel of your favorite Operating System now gets programming assistance in any form of a power guzzling ocean warming large language model?

Will will you fork the kernel yourself? Do you have the programming capability

There are a lot of folk who are pissed off at Linus Torvalds, for allowing some of his maintainers to use large language models to assist in finding bugs.

The Head Programmer of the fantastic and Beautiful curl also uses a large language model in some form, to hunt for bugs, because both he and Greg from the Linux kernel, saw that the LLM used on GitHub is now suddenly much better at finding those pesky bugs.

Mind you, the only LLM I like is the one that runs locally on my low powered Android phone. That's a micro LLM

Thanks in advance for your response

Finally, I managed to install and configure a graphical environment directly during a #FreeBSD installation session 🎉

Most of the friction was around GPU drivers, but the feedback and suggestions I received were incredibly helpful. A lot of people want to use FreeBSD on their laptops and desktops, and that really shows.

For now, the goal was to provide a simple option to install #KDE Plasma. If there’s interest and more requests, we can definitely expand this in the future with additional desktop environments and options.

Special thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for their support 🙌

My #Introduction.

I talk about life in #CambridgeMA and #Boston, #engineering, #science, #radios (#SDR, #HAM, #LoRa, #MeshCore), #pinball, #film, retro computers/video games, and more.

I collect #art, #LaserDiscs, study #horology, visit museums (The Met, MFA, Harvard Art #Museum) and support my local #library.

I read #poetry and books on #architecture, #design, and #urbanism.

I walk or take public #transit everywhere.

I practice #permacomputing and self-hosting, running #BSD where I can.

@ned I started learning (or really returning to #bsd ) a year ago on this fear of monoalternative

@ned Switch to #BSD. #OpenBSD in my case.

First release:

I wrote an Ansible connection-plugin to automate FreeBSD Jails via their host, by utilizing jls and jexec to run automation via a SSH connection to the FreeBSD host.

I released that on GitHub https://github.com/chofstede/ansible_jailexec
And on my Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/ansible_jailexec

Released under a BSD license.

This enables seamless automation of FreeBSD jails without needing a SSH connection to the Jails themselves.

I make no suggestion that Linux routing or bridging is easy -- if anything, frequently hear the extolled benefits of #BSD, which I'll one day pursue.

But it's such a shame that people who were already using and playing with Unix and Linux would never get to explore the beauty of networking when Linux had already neatly divided its implementation by the OSI model. A delicious, layered poutine to enjoy.

Instead, they got a spoonful of Docker network slop and told to accept it.

#introduction

I certainly don't really need an introduction lol 🤣.

But for the ones who don't know me, my name is Stuart but you can call me Stu.

I am a very big fan of technology and music.

I also love fishing and playing golf ⛳.

I like all decentralized platforms and open source platforms.

These are some #'s I'm interested in:

#opensource #bsd #linux #freebsd #tech #music #golf

Ok, Does this exist??

I hear a lot of talk about how so much of tech was built by queer people. People joking whenever bigots start boycotting Rainbows that they'd best shut off their computers, because the whole stack is built by people represented by it.

Does the book highlighting that, really giving the stories of just how filled with gay, trans, etc. stories early (mid, and modern) computing is?

Because, if it does, I'd love to read it, and if it doesn't.. it *should*, and I almost never use that word. But queer history is being erased all the time and fighting back against that is important.

I don't know my computing history all that well, but I know that many of the major players still are alive and may be willing to tell stories to someone. But we've only got that option for so much longer. I'm stuck as a queer unix-dabbler with very little writing experience wondering if since this idea has come to me, I'm going to have to give it a try.

I know I have a lot of ideas that never get enough of my attention to get off the ground, so if this one grabs you, run with it with my blessing. If you can make this happen, do it. If you'd like to help me do so, I'd welcome the aid. I know I'm under qualified to take this on.

나는 프로그래밍을 Solaris에서 시작했고, FreeBSD의 오랜 팬이자 사용자였지만, 이제 와서는 BSD를 권하지 않음. 내 개인적으로도 이젠 더이상 쓰지 않고 있고. 물론 BSD가 특정 시나리오에서는 매우 뛰어난, 그리고 일반적으로 좋은 서버 OS라는 점은 지금도 유효하지만, 더이상 개인이 사용할 우위점은 거의 없다고 생각함.

1. 리눅스가 충분히 안정화되었고, 가장 안정적인 OS를 찾는다면 RHEL(+클론들)을 쓰면 됨. 대형 유저들이 많으며, 전문가 집단이 구성하고 충분히 테스트한 OS임.
2. 리눅스가 de facto standard여서, 더 효율적인 솔루션들이 있더라도 작은 차이라도 큰 특수 분야가 아니라면 굳이 다른 방법을 찾는 비용을 정당화하기 어려움. 무엇보다 유지보수, 확장, 인프라 이전 등 모든 면에서 리눅스가 제일은 아닐지 몰라도 충분히 쌈.
3. 보안에 있어서도 OpenBSD의 품질은 대단하지만, 대형 리눅스 배포판들 또한 취약점 패치 속도에서 매우 빠른 편이고 보안 툴들도 잘 갖추고 있음. 이제 양자간 개발자, 사용자 숫자의 차이는 인원과 설계의 질로 메꿀 수 있는 수준이 아니라고 봄.

@rubenerd Hi Ruben, glad to have stumbled upon you 🙂

Following you for no single reason (well, except for your interest in #bsd and #coffee, you have a now page, your website kept me reading for a while etc.) - you just seem to be a nice guy with interesting interests [sic!]

Hi, I'm Thorsten, and I guess an #introduction might be in order:

Originally from #Oberhausen in the #RuhrArea in Germany, I now live in #Frankfurt, trying to be a decent human being (not by trade). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - not being a jerk can be surprisingly hard at times.

A few things I'm interested in or otherwise like, in no particular order:
- #BSD in general, and #OpenBSD in particular
- the #vi editor
- #plaintext
- #maths and #physics (being a theoretical physicist by education)
- #Ashtanga #Yoga (rather a love-hate relationship, to be honest)
- #veganism
- #coffee
- #journaling
- #minimalism and #simplicity
- practical #philosophy (aka how to live a good life)
- the mundane, boring, monotonous
- #kindness

A huge thanks to the admins of the https://exquisite.social instance, @h3artbl33d and @mischa. You are great folks, really! 🙏

#introduction

A huge fanatic of music; always listening and find new music to listen too.

Big technology type of guy and always looking for new and upcoming decentralized platforms to try out.

I love playing Golf, Pickleball (recently just picked up)

I am a big fan of using #BSD and #Linux

#Fred #BSD #DragonFly #TIL

Some days you think I'll just fix a bug.

And then you're knee-deep in yaml-powered tool written in python, suddenly falling through a hidden trapdoor into a shell script that uses sed and grep to parse the yaml configs, and you land on a bed of ancient monkey skulls.

At least you hope they're monkey skulls, because the inference could be its other devs who never made it back, and this sed/grep monstrosity is looking for something that was assumed to be on a single line, but doesn't have to be, because ... yaml is not an ini file.

The monkey skulls suddenly collapse into dust, and while you sneeze, you disturb a previously hidden nest of snakes (the python, you remember), which rises up to bite you on the arse. At least, its pretty close to your arse.

The only thing you can think of is to run screaming down random corridors looking for an exit, only to find that the config files that should be in /usr/local/etc are in fact in /etc/ and they point you to an escape route, even if its poorly documented, but its across a shoddy rope bridge over /var/lib/ and there are raging crocodiles below you. Skimming these files that don't respect hier(7) at all, you realise there's no choice - it's the bridge, and the crocs, and you'll need to move, fast.

Grabbing a fraying cord on the rope bridge, you struggle across as fast as you can. Of course, it pulls loose, and you swing wildly down towards the crocodiles. There's no way out now, but suddenly you realise -- /run/ isn't safe, but there's /var/run/ where this stuff should be, and at the last second, you swing over the crocs, into a hidden cave of the ancients.

There is a scroll, and it tells you how to get out. There are only two words:

#RUN #BSD

Good news everyone, I'm now working as a freelancer!

https://www.lambda-solene.eu

You can #hire me for almost anything #Linux / #BSD / #QubesOS related, teaching, writing documentation or code.

The terms nowadays that would fit would be #devops or #devsecops , but it would be reductive to limit my services to these buzzwords in my opinion.

🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟

Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.

BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.

The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.

The main server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also present and have been able to move individual jails to different, more powerful, machines.

Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.

Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.

The instance started empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.

Join us at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.

Our wiki, located at https://wiki.bsd.cafe, features essential links and articles related to the BSD world. It provides an overview of the tools, services, rules, uptime, and more information about the BSD Cafe Services.

A Matrix server, a Miniflux RSS Reader, the Wiki itself, and the BlendIT Lemmy instance are all part of the BSD Cafe services, with more to come.
