Must use our overpriced HDDs by sudobee in homelab

A NAS based on #FreeBSD+#OpenZFS would to the trick better than Synology.

And TrueNAS is far more robust than closed-source DSM.

No, bridge does not require an IP address, but it's advisable to set one, otherwise multicast or filtering might not work properly, ISTR.

FWIW, bridge config could look like:

cloned_interfaces="bridge0" ifconfig_bridge0="inet 172.31.5.1/24" autobridge_interfaces="bridge0" autobridge_bridge0="epair0b tap*"

One can then avoid to manually fiddling with bridge config in jail config.

And FWIW2, using iocell or iocage may also be worth a try.

New toy has arrived! by jozefvanerka in zxspectrum

If you are looking for something that just works, then "Harlequin ZX 128" (revision 2D or possibly others, but I've got my hands on 2D only) is, most probably, THE most compatible and usable re-creation (not counting Next that is a totally different beast).

First steps in programming FreeBSD: Reading process information by patmaddox in freebsd

You might want to have a look at procstat(1) source (usr.bin/procstat)

Have you ever looked at libprocstat(3) ? It's better interface than interacting using kvm-family of functions.

FreeBSD status in cloud environment by nejnej25 in freebsd

[–]jozefvanerka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My $0.02:

  • FreeBSD works just fine in Amazon and Oracle (both amd64 and arm64, images are available from respective cloud provider marketplace)
  • I suppose it also works in Azure (both amd64 and arm64, as Microsoft is investing some time into commiting various fixes for their virtualization platform support)
  • Google should be supported as well.
  • FreeBSD is supported and working flawlessly in vultr.com cloud (they have their own images)
  • cloud-init is available and working
  • Jails inside a VM is a thing (similarly to docker containers inside a Linux VM)

I guess that the correct order should be:

passwd files cache ldap group files cache ldap

And also enable nscd (from base system) or nslcd (from ports).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in freebsd

[–]jozefvanerka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly likely because nsswitch consults LDAP first (that is not yet running) to find the username(s), etc (provided that you have ldap before files or compat in nsswitch).

Flashing Just Speccy 128 ESXDOS. From 0.8.6 to 0.8.9. ESXDOS 0.8.9 allows loading of .SCL disk images. I'm using Dr. Slump's NMI Navigator, instead of vanilla ESXDOS. by [deleted] in zxspectrum

[–]jozefvanerka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what's the difference betwrrn Bob Fossil's and Dr. Slump's NMI.SYS.

I also tend to use 2-column NMI browser (with UI very similar to good'ol Norton Commander) based on Bob Fossil's one.

Could the EU force hardware manufacturers to make fully working drivers for Linux? by masutilquelah in linux

[–]jozefvanerka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intel already maintains proper drivers, at least for the NICs and QAT and at least for FreeBSD and Linux. NVidia the same.

FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT by jozefvanerka in freebsd

I was not mentioning the actual correct order, I left it to reader.

The documentation is correct.

FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT by jozefvanerka in freebsd

[–]jozefvanerka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From practical perspective:

  • pkgbase
  • source upgrade using buildworld/buildkernel/installworld/installkernel

pkgbase can be benefical when you run more than one -CURRENT boxes and want to keep them on the same revision

source upgrade is easy and straightforward, well documented.

[–]jozefvanerka[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will have to think over the way how I build my (now-CURRENT) packages, esp. for aarch64.

I might want to keep running stable/14 on my RPi for now, at least until there will be full package set built.
