  • devnull and beyond

    I have requested deletion of my Bugzilla accounts. I expect my name to change to devnull – not to be confused with other devnull users, at least one of whom has devnull in their email address. In the Lounge in April: … We&#39;re pro, not against. Supporters, not haters. Builders, not destroyers. … With the same spirit of positivity, in May I wrote: I&#39;ll continue to support users of FreeBSD in Mastodon, in r/freebsd, and elsewhere.

  • I Interviewed the CTO of TrueNAS (Why They Left FreeBSD for Linux) – Unified IT

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCtFeukJs-E Video, fifteen minutes. Cross-posted from r/freebsd, FreeBSD was only a small part of the chat. In the greater part, Kris Moore discussed, amongst other things: community ZFS total cost of ownership. Meet the TrueNAS Leadership Team | Open Enterprise Storage

  • Mentioning a new user of Mastodon

    At https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/491 I mentioned the ID of a user whose BSD Cafe Mastodon account might be less than an hour old: @Darknessraptor@bsd.cafe There&#39;s no auto-matching (no auto-linking) when his ID is typed, I guess it&#39;s too soon. https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@Darknessraptor Background: https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/comment/omq7w4v/ (announcing his presence in Mastodon) was posted around an hour ago.

  • Framasoft and more

    Framasoft https://framasoft.org/, for anyone who&#39;s interested. A non-profit association founded in 2004, … :+1: Framasphère (diaspora*) Long ago I was a member of https://framasphere.org/, which no longer exists. The original address redirects to https://alt.framasoft.org/framasphere and then (for me) to a language-specific version of the page. In both languages: https://alt.framasoft.org/en/framasphere https://alt.framasoft.org/fr/framasphere/ I made a place for myself at diaspo...

  • Online forms and surveys

    https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/504 mentioned Framaforms. From the same period in my Firefox history (July 2025): Yakforms. Related: Oubliez Framaforms, faites de la place à Yakforms ! Forget Framaforms, make some room for Yakforms ! I don&#39;t have a saved password, I do have this in my Firefox history: Work items · Yakforms Docs · GitLab – which probably means that I was unable to use Yakforms at the time. An intention to report an issue. https://redd.it/1m973go (July 2025) remind...

  • Seven years of running FreeBSD on ThinkPads alongside Linux — lessons I'd give my younger self

    Posted by Luis Emanuel to r/BSD: I daily-drive Linux at work and FreeBSD on my personal ThinkPads (T480 &amp;amp; P52 currently). Both laptops and both operating systems, every day. I&#39;m the kind of person who reads freebsd-update output and Phoronix benchmarks in the same hour. Recently saw the &quot;is FreeBSD really that goated&quot; thread and it brought back the timeline of my own journey. Started with a rough — call it version 0.9 — build that barely had X11 working, evolved throug...

  • Integrated by Design

    Why the Best Systems Are the Ones You Don&#39;t Notice FreeBSD, from philosophy to practice. https://vivianvoss.net/print/integrated-by-design From Integrated by Design — Launch Day (23rd April): … Five months of writing. Three weeks of final proofs. Then the last 72 hours, dedicated entirely to problems one does not anticipate. In the interest of transparency, and in the hope that it spares somebody else a week of the same, here are the four of them. … https://news.ycombinator.com/i...
