WTF is going on with .de right now? Even Denic‘s Whois is not reachable #dns #denic #itsalwaysdns
My Uptime Kuma is going crazy!
I‘m using FreeBSD for years now, but wasn’t able to find a serious desktop replacement. Maybe I’ll give it another try (since PCBSD).
Most people talk about @openclaw as an automation toy or agent runtime. I think a much more serious use case is child protection. Not as replacement for parents or an magic AI filter, just as one more safety layer hackacad.net/post/2026-04-07… Thanks @steipete #OpenClaw #ChildSafety

Does anybody have an overview over the SKU numbers for #IBM POWER9 CPUs? Want to buy a bigger one for my @RaptorEng Blackbird, but most sellers only give you the SKU number without details.

FreeBSD uses 206 MB of RAM on desktop.
Its 15.0-RELEASE with #PKGBASE and @XLibreDev X11 server and @Openbox/@Tint2/@Dzen2 desktop.
The htop(1) shows 230 MB but I subtracted:
- 19 MB for xterm(1)
- 5 MB for htop(1)
230 - 19 - 5 = 206
They were only used to measure RAM usage.

Il n'y a pas que le monde Linux qui est une alternative à Microsoft ou Apple. Il y a FreeBSD dans le tweet cité.
L'os du demon est une alternative crédible.

Do you run #FreeBSD 15? The #syslog_ng project needs your help! We could not reproduce in-house, but there might be a bug in syslog-ng 4.9.0 related to #inotify on @FreeBSD 15. Could you test it in your environment?

Freshports is THE PLACE if you are looking for FreeBSD ports and packages.
Thank you Dan! #FreeBSD
I started running short on disk space for the non-production @FreshPorts hosts. This time, I've decided to ask for donations.

Which means my Patreon account has been activated.
So it’s finally time to replace my PCEngines APU firewall. Next one will definitively be #onARM.
Correct. CUDA does not work. But this Tool (Ollama) used the Vulcan Libs which are slower but work seamlessly
For the FreeBSD demo I used an old GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. You have to install the nivida-drivers and kmods and check with nvidia-smi if the model uses the GPU. Sounds like a good topic for another blog post :-)
Thanks for the feedback!
Here comes the FreeBSD edition of this how-to. Make sure you have a GPU installed and configured, otherwise it will be just SLOOOOOOOWWWWW

At FreeBSD Hackathon Berlin we discussed chatbots that actually know FreeBSD. I put together a small RAG demo that uses the latest FreeBSD docs including things latest stuff like pkgbase. hackacad.net/post/2025-07-12… based on @ollama @OpenWebUI #FreeBSD
I'm working on a tutorial for FreeBSD as well. Most modules be right away with uv/pip, for FreeBSD it needs a little more work. I'm on it :-)
