So, how's BSD for people who are more in the "general demographic" end of the spectrum? Games (including Proton-like compatibility tools)? Browsing? Office tools?

Think someone who currently uses Linux Mint, Ubuntu, etc.

        I remember when the Linux kernel started using the GPL-2 License to prevent evil capitalism from happening.

        Well apparently, the kernel maintainers just took a round of steaming shits on the GPL-2 License and is totally on the menu. Not good if you like a secure system. Not enough to avoid and other bloat. This is like having a treaty with the USA or Russia and getting totally invaded and communities destroyed.

        lives true to its roots, aiming for compatibility with carefully vetted code trees, and never has been a moving target. The choices we make today will save us endless grief decades from now.

                            Today I tried to install 11 on an old Acer E15 laptop that I had been using as a CLI-only system.

                            The install was a little dicey. First one failed, but the second time I was able to go all the way through and configure WiFi on the Edimax N150 USB. I kept getting errors in the console about the BIOS (likely related to the battery, which is pretty dodgy).

                            X started but really didn't run. I could try messing with it, but I'll probably go to next.

                                            Man kan teknisk set godt kan installere en full-blown Mastodon på en Raspberry Pi, og drive et lille fællesskab for få mennesker. Men allerede fra første boot trækker Ruby, Postgres, og Redis-kombinationen lynhurtigt en del ressourcer, der hurtigt får den lille, stakkels Raspberry til at gispe efter mere overskud.

                                            Men så er der littleFedi, et nyt projekt af Stefano Maranelli, der også står bag BSDCafé og FediMeteo.

                                            littleFedi er skrevet i Go, og beregnet til at køre på meget let hardware. Stefano har littleFedi kørende på sin blog, på en Raspberry Pi Zero 2 med et ramforbrug på kun 100 MB på NetBSD. Database-backenden er heller ikke nogen beefy installation, nej – det er yderst kapable SQLite, der også bruges som lager på din Android eller iOS-telefon.

                                            Kigger jeg på oversigten over features i littleFedi, så er jeg dybt imponeret. Der er naturligvis support for ActivityPub, så instansen kan snakke med resten af fediverset, men derudover understøttelse af Mastodons ActivityPub API-udvidelser, så du kan lave bl.a. citerede opslag. Der er WebSocket / SSE-support, så indlæg kan streames i realtid, og S3-support, så dine filer kan ligge i en ekstern S3-kompatibel spand. Det bare for lige at nævne nogle af de fede ting, der lige fangede mit øje, da jeg kiggede over listen af features.

                                            Jeg skal nok vende tilbage med en mere tilbundsgående test på et senere tidspunkt 🙂

                                            So, I decided not to use ZFS for my in-home NAS. I checked it in another server with 2GB of RAM and... it works, but any heavy I/O operation resulted in killing spree of NetBSD kernel, OOM-killing the processes to free the memory. And NetBSD ZFS doesn't have knobs to fine-tune memory limits (IIRC they are still in development).

                                            Instead, the usual approach - the old^Wmature technology - is in use. With the help of netbsd-users maillist (mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-u) I configured the next thing for HDD with RAIDframe, CGD and LVM:

                                            1) Two identical 1TB disks: /dev/wd0 and /dev/wd1.
                                            2) Both in use in RAID1 /dev/raid0 (as described in this document: netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-, but without any tricks for root FS).
                                            3) /dev/raid0 divided in two parts: /dev/raid0a for root FS and /dev/raid0b.
                                            4) Both disks (/dev/wd0 and /dev/wd1) has installed bootloader via /usr/sbin/installboot -o timeout=10 -v /dev/rwd0 /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2 and /usr/sbin/installboot -o timeout=5 -v /dev/rwd1 /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2
                                            5) The /dev/raid0b was encrypted with CGD, so the /dev/raid0b -> /dev/cgd0.
                                            6) The whole encrypted disk (/dev/cgd0a) was added as physical volume to LVM. The volume group /dev/vg0 was created with this PV and the logical volume /dev/vg0/lv0 was created inside this VG to store the real data.

                                            The LVM allows to add new disk space, just by adding new physical volume to the volume group and then extending the logical volume and resizing the FFSv2. I tested it with a test USB drive and it works and even doesn't led to data loss :drgn_aww:

                                            And the separate CGD separately encrypts existing physical volume and each new physical volume just in case :drgn_blush_giggle:

                                            One quirk: the underlying physical disks (/dev/wd0 and /dev/wd1) plus /dev/raid0 should use MBR partition scheme or NetBSD disklabel - because the root partition should start from 0 sector - if it started not from zero sector, then the bootloader will be unable to find root FS. I tried to use GPT, but the installer was unable to create root partition not from zero sector, only from 2048 sector :drgn_cry:

                                              Day 23

                                              After exploring NetBSD on spare hardware, I've moved Linux (LMDE with Cinnamon desktop) off my main desktop (ThinkCentre M720q) and replaced it with NetBSD and Openbox.

                                              I think its a keeper!

In the foreground is a terminal window with system information outputted by the 'fastfetch' command, and a second window with the NetBSD logo displayed by the 'viewnior' image viewer.

                                                On 10 March 2021, I had only just fallen asleep when my phone started buzzing. Then another notification, and another. In a matter of minutes, 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. And not the cloud-computing kind.

                                                Most of them were physically going up in a column of smoke in Strasbourg.

                                                My wife looked at me and asked if I wanted a coffee. I nodded. It was going to be a very long day.

                                                At EuroBSDCon 2026, I won't be giving a theoretical lecture on high availability. Instead, I’m going to tell the raw story of that night: the emergency recovery, the architectural choices that actually saved us, and the ones that crumbled under pressure (because we rarely talk about what fails).

                                                Most of all, I’ll explain why that night changed my perspective, and why I’ve come to see BSD systems not just as operating systems, but as essential, practical tools for building simpler, more resilient infrastructure.

                                                The official schedule is now live. If you want to hear a real-world post-mortem, join me on Saturday, 12 Sept at 11:15 (Room D.0.02).

                                                            After reading a post describing the FreeBSD community as 'toxic', I share a different perspective. This isn't a battle. It's a reflection on coexistence, the original Open Source spirit, and the quiet richness of taking a different path.
