In Other BSDs for 2018/09/22

Sep 22, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill
Still running on extra links from previous weeks.  Usually it takes a larger convention to cause this sort of backlog. Exploring NomadBSD – Desktop FreeBSD on a thumb drive.  (via) Mac-like FreeBSD Laptop.  Surprisingly similar, visually.  (via)  Also some comments here. A FreeBSD 11 Desktop How-to.  (via) “How install a (Read m [...]

In Other BSDs for 2018/09/08

Sep 08, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill
I am having trouble keeping up with BSD news items.  This is a good problem to have. The History of a Security Hole.  Cross-BSD.  (via) hard state soft state confusion.  A followup on the previous link. NetBSD 7.2 is out.  More than one branch is supported, if you find yourself saying “didn’t 8 just release?” (Read more... [...]

In Other BSDs for 2018/09/01

Sep 01, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill
Lots of event notices in here… Watch for what’s near you. The next KnoxBUG meeting is September 5th, with a Trident demo.  I’ll post a reminder. OpenBSD.Amsterdam.  Dedicated OpenBSD/vmd servers, which is a neat idea.  Could probably do the same thing with vkernels. MeetBSD is happening October 19-20 in Santa Clara, CA.  (v [...]

In Other BSDs for 2018/08/18

Aug 18, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill
Overflow from two weeks running, cause of travel. Next SemiBUG meeting is on the 21st.  I’ll post a reminder. Solene’s percent % : Easy encrypted backups on OpenBSD with base tools.  (via) installing Postgresql on NetBSD, need help. Why do you use (or contribute to) BSD, rather than Linux? The Battle of the Schedulers: FreeBSD ( [...]

In Other BSDs for 2018/08/11

Aug 11, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill
Overflow that I couldn’t catch up to before last weekend’s In Other BSD’s posting time.  I try to always have these by 9 AM Eastern time Saturday.  (Same for Lazy Reading on Sunday)  I mentally imagine everyone sitting down with a drink and nothing else to do but click links, those mornings.  At least, I hope that’s wh [...]

Aug 08, 2018 ~ Written by Dan Langille
For future reference, this is the knew server. It runs a few jails, including Bacula regression testing services. This recent post outlines the modifications so it boots off a mirror of SSDs. File systems NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT system 30.8T 36 [...]

Theo de Raadt on “unveil(2) usage in base”. g2k18 hackathon reports: Kenneth Westerback on dhcpd(8) fixes, disklabel(8) refactoring [...]

BSDNow 257: Great NetBSD 8

Aug 02, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill
BSDNow 257 (which is not as exciting a number as last week but still prime) has no interview but manages to hit all the right notes – every major BSD is mentioned and also links to recent convention reports.

In Other BSDs for 2018/07/21

Jul 21, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill
A few of the links are not directly BSD-ish, but related. Adventures in Open Source.  Interesting for the fixes, and for just hearing how tools are being used – I will look up  syncthing as an easier-to-fiddle-with replacement for sftp. Version Control Before Git with CVS.  Not that long ago for BSD projects, depending where you look. [...]

In Other BSDs for 2018/07/07

Jul 07, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill

FreeBSD Desktop – Part 12 – Configuration – Openbox. FreeBSD Desktop – Part 13 – Configuration – Dzen2.  I didn’t know what Dzen was; a configurable [...]

BSDNow 253: Silence of the Fans

Jul 06, 2018 ~ Written by justin sherrill
BSDNow 253: no interview, but it covers a range of topics I’d be proud to fit in an Other BSDs post.  Of special interest (to me) this week: talking about fanless systems, cause it’s hot in North America, and Pinebooks, cause I still have a small computer fetish.
