Finally got around to setup a #FreeBSD server. There was a huge need for more beastie fun 😎
Currently serves #DNS in a #Jail via #Bind
Another #Jail is on the way for some internal hosting via #Nginx 
Currently looking for some more ideas on how to leverage the system some more.
What do you guys run on your #BSD servers?
(Most of my services are currently containerized on a #Docker #Linux server)
$Diety, #Linux is getting just as reboot hungry as other OSes. Seems everytime I check there's a upgrade that requires restarting systemd-dbus or systemd-logind which kills my sessions and effectively requires a reboot OR an actual kernel upgrade.
I just rebooted this morning, and checked for updates over lunch, and now it wants ANOTHER reboot.
Maybe I should try KDE / XMonad on a BSD. Any suggestions?

For everyone that's getting into #selfhosting #linux #homelab right now, a PSA:
I've been a professional, certified cloud engineer now for several years.
There is not a day that goes by where I'm not learning something, or feeling like an absolute beginner that's never coded a day in my life, even though I've been coding for a while now.
There is just too much knowledge for one human being to process.
So give yourself a break. Don't feel like you have to learn it all right now. (Spoilers: you won't)
You can do it incrementally. It can take you a long time. It's ok.
Just do what you can, when you can, and if you're feeling confused, then you're doing it right. That's normal.
Keep asking questions, and trying to solve problems.
There are sometimes well-meaning voices out there making it sound like "if you're not doing X and Y YOU'RE WRONG!!"
They may even be right about X or Y, but their delivery sucks.
Don't let that get to you.
Learn at your own pace. Do what you can, when you can.
You'll get better as you do it more.

What your coffee says about the average #Linux user ...
Alt...
This is a funny meme about coffee preparation methods/machines and what they supposedly say about the user's personality, particularly relating them to different Linux distros. It shows 5 different coffee brewing methods and machines:
1. Debian user: Been using same machine for 10 years. (Drip coffee machine machine)
2. Gentoo user: Spends hours setting everything up (Espresso machine machine)
3. Arch User: It is all they need (Pour over machine)
4. Fedora User : Looks pretty cool (Chemex machine)
5. Ubuntu User - Preconfigured by manufacturer (Single-serve pod machine)
My nvme usb-c drive draws around 3W on idle. Surely more writing/reading.
So:
1. #Linux - 3.5W (modified to save power + Sway running)
2. #FreeBSD - 9W - 3W = 6W (default install - no X)
3. #OpenBSD - 14W - 3W = 11W (default install + apmd - no X)
It's worth mentioning that on #OpenBSD when using borrowed Realtek USB wifi adapter I have no problems with packet loss. And iwx (iwlwifi) driver is a fresh thing available only in CURRENT.
External drive thingy was not on purpose 😅

Android via Messages App: "sure thing fellow Happy Camper! here you go! https://messages.google.com and it's just as secure as using the device itself."

I wonder whether I should do a write-up on how I use #linux/#unix the way I do?
I have spent all of my life living out of the terminal as much as possible, which has meant using certain programs to establish some kind of "workflow". I equally dislike how much I might have to use the browser. Although I use #telescope-browser with #gemini as much as I can!
I used to use #elinks (https://xteddy.org/elinks/) -- I believe this has been resurrected (https://github.com/rkd77/elinks). I'm also aware #dillo has also been revived.
There's so many of these types of articles though, and it can come across as a cliche -- which I would not want. But equally, I think there's merit in appreciating how other people use their computer to do $STUFF.
So... I'm not sure. If you think this might be interesting, let me know. I'll do it. Possibly, #gemini first, to prove a point? ;) ;)

When I'm asked why OpenBSD is good and that I want to reply honestly, I have no argument.
From a technical point of view, I can't tell any strong benefits using OpenBSD, NetBSD or FreeBSD over Linux, although this doesn't mean they are bad.
It would be easy for me to be "cargo-culting" facts, being a "fanboy" or enumerating features that are exclusive to one (and they are rare, except if you are looking for the very very same feature!).
The truth is that what one OS will do better than an other, it will also do worse in another area.
It's important that we keep the BSD systems as relevant Linux alternatives: for software diversity, innovation and freedom of choice.
