@oxy@social.bsdlab.au Sperm whale Linux 🤣 @mischa@exquisite.social @rqm@0xde501a7a.net

#PositiveThoughOfTheDay Among all the sh!t I have to sort out at various $WORK places, it’s been years since Hyper-V was not one of them.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au last time I was 🤏 close to hyper-v, there was some shared CIFS/NTFS involved to build cluster safe storage. Some sort of hyper-converged infrastructure before Nutanix were in the game. With copy/sync/duplication thing. But I forgot most of it.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au 🎶 everyone considered him, the coward of the county 🎶

This is a sandbox. If something or somebody escapes it and start ruining the World and harassing people, it only means a single thing: bad parenting and poor adulting model. yes, this post is about a current technology hype.

@bsdtv@mastodon.bsd.cafe woooooo nice !!!! @oxy@social.bsdlab.au @dexter@bsd.network

@bsdtv@mastodon.bsd.cafe heh some look good! @oxy@social.bsdlab.au @dexter@bsd.network

Niece hand-crafted me a gizmo 🐸 #handcrafted #crochet

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au being lurking on those this weekend :) CF-33 is really yummy. But I was surprised how expensive they still are. I mean, I thought those were ancient toys.

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au I was thinking of getting a fenwick 😬

@r1w1s1 I used to like 10-12" inch screens! And then, I got old. 14" is my now absolute required minimum… somehow feeling sad about this.

Reposting this because I got #RunBSD stickers at #EuroBSDcon2026 and can now illustrate the post with a proper image :D Also updated the temperatures screenshot. So that's basically how much watts are #NetBSD and #OpenBSD using by default on this AOOSTAR WTR Pro NAS machine and how to have #FreeBSD use less watts as possible while still operating Jail and #bhyve services. https://www.tumfatig.net/2026/overview-of-aoostar-wtr-pro-on-bsd/ #selfhost #homelab

For once, #ItIsDNS 😬 #EuroBSDcon2026 #EuroBSDcon

One of the main problem with #Slackware #Linux is that it is rock solid. Why is this a problem? Because I never feel like doing updates! If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.

@dch@bsd.network yeah, I also used rclone for a few things. But as I said, I’m not into alternatives at this moment, I need a frictionless option :) @oxy@social.bsdlab.au

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au in fact, I would need something GUI that beeps and bloops so that she can hey! me case of trouble :)

There seem to be a trend on my IG timeline for "I’m moving from Windows to Linux because old computer are still valuable". Which is: pretty nice.probably just Meta trying to please my confirmation biais.not sure it’s that of a trend in normies’ TL. Anyway. That made me smile because my todo list has: check which *BSD has a working OneDrive client so I can migrate $WIFE laptop from Linux to that BSD. 😅 Yes, I know, OneDrive. But not all wars can be fought and won at the same time.

Looking at my two first computers explains a lot about my aesthetic biaises.

them: what do you do with your laptop computer?me: I run OSes ☺️them: no, I mean, do you game, watch movie, create music or pictures, or what?me: I run OSes and change window managers theme 🥺

Not to brag or what but… this is my $WORK view. (nearly) central Paris.

A pretty cabling side implies a dirty cabling side 🤭

Linus’ stand on AI is just yet another confirmation biais.

@sizeofvoid@bsd.network I don’t have non-working things to complain about (now that relayd sends a UserAgent during heartbeat ;-) One thing I miss is that relayd doesn’t log in Apache’s format. That keeps it from being used with standard log parsers. And needs extra work when you want to get infos out of it. I also find error logs to be sometimes cryptic or too silent. I recall having an issue exposing GoToSocial. And it took a couple of minutes when switch to using nginx to get a "too many open files" in logs. relayd also had the problem but never told me. I guess there are a few other errors that fall into void.

@felipe@social.treehouse.systems depends on the target IMHO. servers are mostly OpenBSD. A couple of FreeBSD to counterbalance dislike from FreeBSD laptop journey. Both are trustable. OmniOS and NetBSD also follow this path but have limitations mostly due to pkgsrc.OpenBSD laptop just work. Although it has its limitations. But what is supposed to work does work.FreeBSD laptop are always annoying pretty quick - because "laptop" things that should work don’t always; mostly audio and suspend/resume here.

I have a TIFF library issue with my brand new sysupgraded to -current #OpenBSD laptop. Which sound weird since this is 2026… and I still use software that actually depend on TIFF format 🤣

Them: why did you choose #OpenBSD so long ago?Me: seriously? https://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html#13

@BastilleBSD@fosstodon.org I generally use UHS-I Class 10 like this SanDisk SDSQUA4-032G-GN6MA

I started testing #Sylve. I like it better than some other non-stock-tools. Still, I created two Linux jails and they don’t get network access 😅 Click-a-click is great! But it seems I need an extra Tap-a-tap 😬

J’habites au dessus d’une porte de garage public. Et depuis un petit moment, à chaque ouverture / fermeture, j’entends les couinements, frottements, etc de la porte. Plusieurs fois par jour. Et par nuit. Bref, j’me suis sorti les doigts, j’suis descendu avec mon WD-40 et j’en ai foutu partout : sur les rails, sur chaque pièces avec un roulement, sur les engrenages et le long des chaines. Et bah… ça fait 6H que j’entends plus rien. Juste une petite vibration qui remonte le long des parpaings. PTN, c magique ce produit !!!

Today, I have yet another reason to rant against FreeBSD... It wrecked all my OpenBSD bhyve machine by not waiting for them to properly shutdown after I ask FreeBSD to reboot (to apply updates). Well... not wrecked as a couple of fsck sent them back to business. I've had other issues with bhyve on OmniOS but not any suck dumb behaviour :-/

This is my #GoToSocial (on #OpenBSD, on #bhyve, on #FreeBSD) instance, as seen from the garage. Doesn’t it look cute!?

BTW #Slackware buddies, is there a simple special trick to have #Slackbuilds install in /usr/local rather than /usr? Like some environment variable to set before running the slackbuild script? The idea is to keep native slackware fs "sane" and add all extra stuff elsewhere.

@raster@retro-gaiden.com not to start a browser war but I like Librewolf better. It seems to strip way more (unwanted by me) stuff while still being useable as a daily driver. And, there is a FreeBSD and OpenBSD port :)

@hi feh and mpv for simple stupid viewing. thunar, bash+awk+sed, geeqie when mass renaming is required. digikam to store, tag and forget until next couple of years. gotosocial to expose some to the world. maybe someday, I’ll add immich for private/family memories.

Hey #GoToSocial users of the official #FreeBSD and #NetBSD builds, where are you? I probably need to follow your accounts ;-)

@brubarwal@mastodon.sdf.org @ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org @jperkin@federate.me.uk I also had issues with CDN during my last netbook playtime. I switched to using the FR mirror and all suddenly went well.

When you think, long ago, VMware had to prove it was escape-proof, had to be audited and labelled escape-proof, so that we start thinking maybe we could virtualize one or two physical servers. Then, this 👇🙄 https://masto.ai/@phoronix/117051439253241028

This aimed to be a simple #RunBSD post about the AOOSTAR WTR Pro NAS system. But it ended being nearly a "Tune #FreeBSD for power consumption" one :p Anyway, I very like this tiny #HomeServer. And it fits wells in my #HomeLab closet. https://www.tumfatig.net/2026/overview-of-aoostar-wtr-pro-on-bsd/ #OpenBSD #NetBSD #SelfHost

@mischa@exquisite.social @rqm@0xde501a7a.net so size matters after all 😳

😳 #OpenBSD 8.0-beta is already there! 🥺 and I still haven’t upgraded big-mama-vps to 7.9… 😱 Either Fish Linux is now a rolling release system, or I really need to get back to caring about my working VPSes…

So that #NetBSD 11.0_RC7 got installed on X280 and works… couci-couça… pkgsrc has hickups with pkgin these days.touchpad has some weird unexpected double-click reaction. But I tuned nothing, yet.although Wi-Fi was configured and ran during install and setup was saved to the installed system, it seems wpa_supplicant don’t start at boot. I have to doas start it some that I get WiFi working.also about WiFi, connecting to 2.4GHz works but not to 5GHz.apropos and manpage exist for apm and zzz but binaries do not exist. The online HTML doc says using sysctl is the way. That said, suspend/resume works, CPU speed management works with estd, audio works and watching a YouTube video with Firefox does not make the fan blow too much. https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/dmesgd?do=view&id=9062

@mischa@exquisite.social who is Dyson!? @h3artbl33d@exquisite.social @fd0@mastodon.nl @OpenBSDAms@mastodon.bsd.cafe

@_elena@mastodon.social looping between love and hate is useful to a balanced life. Cursing towards Foo frees the mind from mud so that Bar can be cuddled. I do it all the time 😆

not the greatest timing to run out of space on the backup storage :-/

Well ok… maybe 10kg of laptop is a bit too much… even for a #CyberDeck like thing. https://www.durabook.com/en/products/z14i-dx3-rugged-triple-screen-workstation/#1528712267367-cc05b50b-7791cb06-8d2d

Hey @sborrill@justfollow.me.uk, I missed the opportunity to ask that one question: I see that sysutils/podman is available in pkgsrc. Can one actually run Linux containers using emulation? #NetBSD #RunBSD #EuroBSDcon2026

I’ve just been reminded that I, once upon a time, commited a #NetBSD wallpaper 😆 https://www.netbsd.org/gallery/mobile-logos.html

Someone asked: what’s the best way to keep your Linux machine save? I refrained from replying: shutdown -p now.
