The scheduling service Cal has shut down its #opensource program because it views it as a security risk now that LLMs are much more capable and can be deployed to scan the code base 24/7 https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-security-worries-force-company-to-abandon-open-source/ #linux #freebsd

Yay my patch to the Amazon SSM Agent port was committed to #FreeBSD ports - if you use it then please be sure to update soon as changes to the service mean the old one will stop working in June!

Not me, every time I set off a zpool scrub (with apologies to TLC): 🎵 Yes, I just want to scrub, A scrub is a kind of check that gets love from me, Countin’ out the checksum of your best friend’s drive, Trying to verify at me

How the Foundation’s Laptop Support & Usability Project Came Together In this article from the Q1 2026 FreeBSD Journal, Deb Goodkin, Executive Director of the FreeBSD Foundation, explains how the Foundation turned recurring community feedback about FreeBSD on laptops into a structured, funded initiative with long-term impact.

That would be crazy if someone imported tmux, doas, tmux, and openrsync into #FreeBSD base. Like , crazy.

#CaliforniaLaw is written by people who are either very ignorant or very incompetent. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1043 They have assumed that all operating systems are like Microsoft Windows 11, Android, or iOS; and have written legislation for operating systems where people download glorified WWW client 'apps', from 'stores', which use 'accounts' that they have with vendors or Microsoft/Google/Apple. But the legislation *as worded* *also* covers everything from #Debian and #Ubuntu through #Arch Linux and #MobaXTerm to #FreeBSD and #NetBSD and #OpenBSD; where users anonymously use package managers or ports systems to install applications, written by developers, on operating systems, from 'publicly available internet website' repositories. There is no age field in the GECOS data in master.passwd(5) of course, and the reality is that no BSD or Linux-based operating system has this concept of apps/stores/accounts. #MidnightBSD #FreeSoftware #Unix #California #USLaw #AgeVerification #GDPR

I have a physical #freebsd server that I use to host my email. Today I felt a little homepage nostalgic, so I configured a jail on it to serve up some static html https://peteftw.com/~pete/ 1990s me never could’ve afforded a TLS cert 😆

Latest quarterly FreeBSD package upgrade broke my Nextcloud 😮‍💨

Post mortem: The new version of php85-pdo_pgsql is now compiled against PostgreSQL 18, not 17. So pkg upgrade removed postgresql17-server, leaving Nextcloud dysfunctional without a database.

Solution:

  • Reinstalled postgresql17-server
  • Dumped the db with pg_dump
  • Installed postgresql18-server & php85-pdo_pgsql
  • Copied over pg_hba.conf & postgresql.conf
  • Created empty db/user in PG18
  • Imported the db dump
  • Ran occ maintenance:data-fingerprint

Restarted php-fpm & nginx

All fine again. But that was unpleasant 🙂

RE: https://social.erambert.me/@macthemes/116401059227383720 Operating systems used to be so personalizable. This is absolutely garish, but it would be great if everyone could do this besides the hardcore #Linux and #freebsd userbase.

FreeBSD has started public laptop testing as part of its larger effort to improve hardware support and become a stronger option for everyday desktop use. https://linuxiac.com/freebsd-opens-public-testing-for-its-laptop-support-push/ #freebsd #unix #opensource

A FreeBSD jail should be small. Installing Python into every jail just so your config management can run is the tail wagging the dog. I wrote two tiny wrappers to plug cdist directly into jexec on the host. The result? Full configuration management that asks for nothing but POSIX sh inside the jail itself. Zero daemons. Zero agents. https://blog.hofstede.it/automating-freebsd-jails-with-cdist-zero-dependencies-inside-the-jail/ My cdist-jexec connection plugin scripts: https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/jexec-cdist #FreeBSD #Jails #Unix #SysAdmin #cdist #DevOps

Here are some things that one can add to the analysis of the MacOS TCP timeout clock freeze bug. The code for calculate_tcp_clock() in XNU was changed in May 2025. Older versions of this function (e.g. in xnu-11417) worked quite differently and wouldn't have stopped ticking the clock at 32-bit unsigned integer wraparound. None of #NetBSD, #FreeBSD, nor #OpenBSD share this exact way of doing TCP timeout processing with #XNU. FreeBSD does not have a tcp_now and works off the global 32-bit ticks variable. OpenBSD effectively works off the kernel's system clock, too, but with a randomized offset, and does 64-bit unsigned modular arithmetic. NetBSD uses a distinct 32-bit unsigned tcp_now counter that it simply increments by 1 at regular intervals, and does modular arithmetic subtraction. https://photon.codes/blog/we-found-a-ticking-time-bomb-in-macos-tcp-networking #TCP #MacOS
