I want to publicly thank @dch@bsd.network
The FreeBSD port of littleFedi was already ready at release time, and it’s really well done.
One of the peculiarities of littleFedi is that it was developed and tested first on the BSDs, then on illumos, and only later on Linux.
The first public instance, my own @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it account, runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with NetBSD.
I don’t think many social platforms have started out on NetBSD in recent years.
#FreeBSD security folks: is the latest jails security advisory also a Capsicum sandbox escape if your capability-mode program has a descriptor to /dev/fd?
In the new installment of our #SelfHosting series, @makkes@hachyderm.io shows you how to build reliable network storage with TrueNAS Community Edition.
I always find it funny when someone on the Internet says “ZFS is memory hungry” or “ZFS needs at least 8 GB of ECC RAM to run”. Nonsense.
To prove it, I installed #FreeBSD 15.1 (64 bit!) on a 23 year old PC, with ZFS and only 1 GB of RAM, running multiple jails without issue. 😎
It has been a bit tricky to get FreeBSD 15.1 to boot off a modern SATA drive, but I found some old PCI SATA controller I bought way back in the Windows 7 days which is still supported.
The single core AMD Athlon 64 3000+ is a bit slow, but pkgbase really helps with speeding up installing patches. It’s still fast enough to reach 604 Mbit/s in iperf3 (and 490 Mbit/s in client mode).
If I wanted to, I could even turn this ancient machine into a NAS, which really proves that old PCs aren’t trash, but modern software is.
FreeBSD 14.5 macht das Unix-System alltagstauglicher
