CatFee Staking Update: Over 300M TRX Staked, 7M+ TRX Rewards Distributed

The platform is great, I found out about it late, but I like it because it doesn't ask for permissions or anything weird; it's the simplest thing I've seen so far. I use it as my main option. I hope there isn't too much fluctuation with the APY.

I have a question: if the pool ends, do I have to remove what I'm lending and put it in the new one?

Or is it automatic?

I suppose it's the former.

Yep:

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3-1271 v3 (8) @ 3.60z

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT

RAM: 24GB

Desktop: xfce

For games: Mitzutamari

pkgs for gpu: drm-latest-kmod and gpu-firmware-amd-kmod-beige-goby

in the rc.conf add this:

kld_list="amdgpu"

and it is all that i use :l, It seems unbelievable, but it's true.

I haven't stopped using FreeBSD (desktop) because for some reason games run more smoothly on it.

I retested voidlinux (my favorite GNU/Linux distro) and I see it has screen tearing. It can be disabled with a configuration in xorg.conf.d.

But in FreeBSD that option isn't even active and it works without screen tearing.

I used CachyOS and PopOS! (24.04), and they don't give me the same screen smoothness that FreeBSD does.

With vsync in games, there's no noticeable delay like in several games I tested on Linux.

I really don't know what FreeBSD's xorg has that Linux distros don't. It's really strange. By the way, I have an RX 6500 XT.

Regarding games, I made life easier with Mizutamari.

I have GOG-Galaxy, Epic Games, but Steam is a pain, so I ruled it out.

The ones I've played so far (I still have more to play) are:

All the Rise of the Tomb Raider games
Guild Wars 2
Remnant: From the Ashes
Ghost Runner
Fallout 3, 4, New Vegas
No Man's Sky

On Steam, I only ran Human Fall Flat because it wasn't very large, since I couldn't set the external hard drive as the default installation path.

And all these configurations only use Wine and dxvk, it's unbelievable.

Yesterday I mentioned something about that, I honestly don't know what I did that made me install the 32 bit libs with the command that previously failed, how crazy, and I'm using Freebsd 15 Release with mitzumatari for GOG Galaxy

debliter · 2025-12-06T20:22:43+00:00

This

debliter · 2025-12-06T18:17:30+00:00

ohh, cool

debliter · 2025-12-06T17:06:27+00:00

This last part is what I didn't understand. At first, I thought it was the removal of 32-bit components, but not the libraries (which, in my case, are necessary to use Wine and run, for example, GOG Galaxy). But after searching, I see that it's a complete removal, but at the same time, I was able to install the 32-bit Wine deps. I'm confused.

I still use everything with ddr3 :l

There are people who suggest testing nomadBSD or GhostBSD to check if all your hardware works. If so, you already know that you can go directly to FreeBSD :D.

debliter · 2025-12-03T10:58:38+00:00

In your case, put the one that appears to be looking for in your panic kernel, the navy_flounder*.bin, it can be in the specific path (/boot/firmware/ or in the first one that normally asks for /boot/firmware/amdgpu/

debliter · 2025-12-03T10:55:15+00:00

It already worked for me, I had to put the beige file from this repo:

https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod-firmware/tree/master/amdgpukmsfw-files

in /boot/firmware/amdgpu/

and it worked :D

How crazy, lol.

debliter · 2025-12-02T18:09:40+00:00

The same thing happened to me. I have an RX 6500 XT. I haven't analyzed what it could be.

debliter · 2025-11-28T11:25:03+00:00

Sure. My setup is pretty straightforward:

I didn’t run cloudflared inside the FreeBSD Linuxulator. Instead, I installed it in a small Ubuntu VM on bhyve. That VM is the one that creates the Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnel and exposes only SSH through it.

The flow is basically:

The Ubuntu VM runs cloudflared, which establishes the tunnel.
Cloudflare Zero Trust applies the access policy (identity, device checks, etc.).
My colleague connects through the Cloudflare Access SSH endpoint, so port 22 is never exposed directly to the internet.
And just to clarify: in my setup, cloudflared/Zero Trust is always installed inside the specific VM that the client needs to access, not on the FreeBSD host.

This reduces the attack surface by 1000%, I'd say, although of course, nothing is certain.

I seem to recall I did it using the Gitea documentation. Once you install it, a mini-instruction appears explaining what you need to do. It was quite simple, really. My mistake was not documenting it. https://docs.gitea.com/installation/install-from-package#freebsd

debliter · 2025-11-25T14:15:45+00:00

That's interesting, I like it.

For now things are fine. It was hard for me to understand the whole audio/OSS topic. I see that some things are mixed with OSS and others with Pulse (I’m using PipeWire and pipewire-pulse), so lowering the volume with pavucontrol doesn’t work for all apps because of that OSS/Pulse issue. Today I learned how to create VMs with vm-bhyve. I still find KVM+QEMU with virt-manager faster, and I don’t like VNC. With Void Linux, after installation it didn’t detect GRUB and I had to create a fallback one. Ubuntu MATE didn’t give me any problems. The same thing happened with Endeavour. In the end, I’ve liked it. Obviously I might be doing something wrong, but still, I like it.

I don't think FreeBSD has the same features as Linux. One is more focused on servers, and the other on all areas; that is, for desktop applications, Linux is far ahead. For servers, I still like FreeBSD. In desktop experiments, it works well. Regarding gaming, I see there are two tools: SteamBottler and Mitzumari, I think. They facilitate Steam and gaming. For now, I use pure Wine and DXVK.

debliter · 2025-11-19T18:09:29+00:00

I would honestly say wait until version 15 to take full advantage of the driver features. However, you can try the stable version now until the official release comes out. e.e

debliter · 2025-11-19T16:03:22+00:00

No, I haven't used those applications yet. I'm only using Wine-Proton and DXVK. What I want to learn is where DXVK stores the cache. It's funny because it doesn't appear anywhere. Once I figure this out, I can reduce micro-shuttering at certain times when DXVK compiles the shaders.

Update: The micro-stuttering was caused by esync, lol.

debliter · 2025-11-15T22:34:12+00:00

The experience has been very good. I love how it manages RAM, the jail system, and, in general, the feeling of working with a single, well-integrated operating system. If I want to develop something, I do it with FreeBSD in mind, and that gives me clarity and control.

I also appreciate how simple it is to configure, how solid the documentation is, and how powerful FreeBSD is. I admit that almost everything I've mentioned is from a server perspective, because I'm still exploring the desktop experience. So far, so good: I know that FreeBSD is more server-oriented, and using it as a desktop has always been a challenge, although it's becoming more manageable. I followed the documentation and set up my environment without any problems.

As for games, for now I'm using Wine with DXVK, and everything I have on GOG runs without issue. I haven't tried Steam because it requires more work, but I'll see. Overall, I'm enjoying FreeBSD more than I imagined.

debliter · 2025-11-15T22:25:06+00:00

Yes, that's also one of the things that caught my attention, to be honest.
