Jails, Not Containers: FreeBSD Isolation Done Right – Umair Khurshid | Klara Systems Containers play a major role in modern infrastructure, but they are not the right answer for every workload. This article explores how FreeBSD jails provide purpose-built isolation, predictable security boundaries, and deep ZFS integration—making them ideal infrastructure-grade services where stability is essential. … Via | #FreeBSD #jails #Linux #containers

The FreeBSD Project home page no longer has a link to FAQ. The main Documentation menu includes &lt;https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/&gt;, which very few people will want. The ninety-nine-page FreeBSD Documentation Project Primer for New Contributors can be found at the front page of the documentation portal. Suggestion: ― remove the link to the primer from the Documentation menu at the home page ― add a link to FAQ, make it the second menu option (beneath the Document...

@markmcb@mas.to @thismarkp@mastodon.social Something's subtly missing from the front page. We see four aspects of the OS, but (unless I'm missing something) no catchy overview. A keyword with which very few people argue: ― cohesion. Development of FreeBSD is not uniquely cohesive, however IMHO it is a very strong selling point. Toying with two chunks from the Foundation's description of FreeBSD, in no particular order: ― secure, stable, high-performance, modern, community-go...

@emaste &lt;https://freebsdfoundation.github.io/proj-laptop/monthly-updates/Roadmap-Q1%202026.pdf&gt; – more user-friendly than the PDF link that&#39;s currently in the March 2026 report. Pull requests are not possible. Also &lt;https://freebsdfoundation.github.io/proj-laptop/monthly-updates/2026-03&gt; for the report itself without the GitHub GUI, although the value of this is debatable.
