  Is it possible to bind both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses to a jail? I'm using bastille and for now I've just added the ipv4 (RFC1918) addresses, but I'm running unbound in a jail as a local DNS resolver and I want to let in IPv6 traffic. Thing is, I'm not sure what range to use. Do I use a fc00::/7 ?

  Anyone else get annoyed when your #FreeBSD jail IDs in the list don't start with 1 and go ascending by 1?

  Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do Disk I/O benchmarks? I want to compare a ZFS disk with an ext4 disk. Seems bonnie++ works slower on ZFS so I'm not sure what stats to look at, or if bonnie++ is even the right tool for the job.

  Finally got around to updating my script to update my #OpenBSD #pf firewall with @JulianOliver@mastodon.social 's fantastic parasites.txt. (Apologies if you've seen a bunch of HEAD requests from me, Julian!) If anyone's interested: #!/bin/ksh set -euo pipefail cd /home/pertho ftp -TV https://scienceispoetry.net/files/parasites.txt sed -e '/^[^0-9]/d' parasites.txt | sed '/^$/d' | sed '$d' > parasites.new doas /usr/bin/install -g wheel -m 0644 -o root /ho...

  Does anyone know if it's possible to get an on-screen keyboard to pop up in a #QT5 application? libqt5virtualkeyboard5 is installed but does absolutely nothing. Try to tap in text boxes and the keyboard never shows up. Please boost! #qt5 #kde #touchcreen #ubuntu

  @ubuntu@ubuntu.social 's PPA servers are still down: Could not connect to ppa.launchpadcontent.net:443 (185.125.190.80), connection timed out. https://status.canonical.com incorrectly shows launchpad as "up". #canonical #ubuntu

  For anyone using ports latest in #FreeBSD, running: "pkg upgrade -F -r FreeBSD-ports" fixed my issues with the messed up pkg repo issue. ref: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2653

  re: https://social.bsdlab.au/objects/e64d1352-5624-4d69-ac23-3394d784d475 (thanks @tubsta for the heads up!) Anyone know if @starlabs Starlite works on FreeBSD 15.0? 🤔

  I've seen a new wave of scraper bots. They use the user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/142.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 I counted 12267 unique IP addresses from all over the world. They hit the hell out of one URL and then disappear after 20-30 minutes.

  Is it normal for rust-1.95 to take 2 hours 30 minutes to build on a 12th gen. Intel i7? Madness.

  Something I noticed on my $dayjob Macbook: Sadly the company I work for thought it best to install chatgpt, Claude, and cursor using Iru (formerly Kandji). I noticed when chatgpt gets installed, it appears to allocate for itself some local storage under my Firefox profile. The reason I know this is, I rm -fr'd all that shit but when it got reinstalled by Iru, it recreated that local storage bit again. The installer must scan for browser profiles it can infect like a barnacle. I might...

  Running "pkg upgrade" on FreeBSD results in: Updating FreeBSD-ports repository catalogue... sits there for ages ran with -d: DBG(1)[71664]> (fetch) libfetch> connecting DBG(1)[71664]> (fetch) libfetch> fetching from: https://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/meta.conf with opts "i" And it never downloads it.

  Why aren't there more negative stories about AI in the press? Are they told by AI companies never to run anti-AI pieces? Bribery?

  I was inspired by @gumnos ' blog post back in November that I posted one of my own. Took 4 months but I've posted it! My Journey to the BSDs: https://pertho.net/2026/04/11/my-journey-to-the-bsds/ #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #Linux #Sysadmin

  The only Mondays I like are... Bank Holiday Mondays 😂

• Post #961016

  I took advantage of Easter Monday Bank Holiday to wipe Void Linux off my daily driver laptop and now it's running FreeBSD 15.0-p5. Moved all the various bits and pieces back and got i3 working solidly on xorg. I'm not sure if I'm going back to KDE. The xorg keymaps work great for my Keychron K3 Pro keyboard (US int'l layout) and I have a shell script that I run that detects the external monitors and enables them as needed. Won't have Steam on it as that...
