Happy to share that #BoxyBSD remains up! Recently I got asked about my @BoxyBSD@mastodon.bsd.cafe project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve. But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @BoxedTux@mastodon.social) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation. Hope you like this small update... Over & out! #freeVPS #VPS #VM #Hosting #education #learning #learningplatform #service #opensource #BoxedTux

CMD+Tab changes windows CMD+~ changes same app windows CMD+m minimizes CMD+w closes single windows CMD+q closes apps Now #BSD WM looks and feels pretty close to macOS so switching from Mac to PC doesn’t hurt anymore. And everything works blazing fast! Faster than macOS on MacBook Pro M1 Pro. I’m impressed with results. #FreeBSD

On #OpenBSD, the update process every six months is: # sysupgrade # sysmerge And as needed: # syspatch # pkg_add -u What are these processes for #FreeBSD?

https://bgp.tools/as/201379#connectivity 6 Upstreams, 105 direct peers 🙂 My AS201379 / 2a06:9801:1c::/48 has some really solid European connectivity now. Entirely powered by FreeBSD and FRRouting, no proprietary routers and no legacy-IP (formerly known as IPv4). #bgp #networking #bgp #freebsd #frr #ipv6

pkg is lovely to update #freebsd boxes quickly, but I wish that wasn't necessary as often as these days 😬 https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/

The scheduling service Cal has shut down its #opensource program because it views it as a security risk now that LLMs are much more capable and can be deployed to scan the code base 24/7 https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-security-worries-force-company-to-abandon-open-source/ #linux #freebsd

Yay my patch to the Amazon SSM Agent port was committed to #FreeBSD ports - if you use it then please be sure to update soon as changes to the service mean the old one will stop working in June!
