It's possible you've not heard of #boxyBSD

I was lucky to get a TIL moment when @stefano boosted it's existence into my feed.

However you should know about it, learn something about the user perspective from proxmox in the process, while working with a boxyBSD VM.

Here are some nice screencaps of the boxyBSD site so you can ask nicely for a VM and learn to play with one of the *BSD flavours from a distance.

I'm sure you can duckduckgo the address of boxyBSD when you analyze the screencaps, right?

It has arrived. proxyLB v1.1.0 the loadbalancer for proxmox clusters. Instead of telling you the features of this major version I invite you to read about it yourself, download proxyLB then play with it.

As with any great Open Source project, this has grown out of a necessity that @gyptazy has for his other amazing project boxyBSD, which just needs a versatile tool like this.

Now go and play.

I have found an interesting quirk with my freeBSD installation, running on my SATA SSD, which I mount through an USB tray, directly to the USB port on the computer.

As long as i leave the second port of the USB tray open, everything runs fine and smooth. The moment I mount another drive in the second port, freeBSD only does the initial part of the startup sequence and then complains that it cannot go any further.

No further explanation given

Seeking for log files is not an option because the operating system itself doesn't boot.

Where in the documentation should I look for this type of issue?

The following must have occurred.

The installer did not use UUID to identify the boot partition. I assume it is because I use the semi-automatic method. I will repeat the installer to see how it happens when I use the full manual method;
I presume that I can then, tell the system that it needs to use the UUIDs for the identification of the partitions regarding root, home and the partitions regarding swap.

Until I get a dedicated SSD for my BSD installations, I shall not be able to make a separate partition for usr and other important sections of the tree which are better managed on separate partitions

I've obtained a separate HDD for my BSD installations.
This time I've made sure that I did not even turn off the SATA tray, in which the HDD resides

I've been able to repeat the exact error which I had gotten when I installed the freeBSD Operating System on the SSD:

After booting a Fresh installation, the FreeBSD bootloader barfs at the fact that it cannot find the kernel even though the drive was not moved

The fact that I used ghostBSD as a flavour variant doesn't matter since it's the latest version of ghostBSD which resides on the latest version of FreeBSD.

I love it when I find little bugs which are easily repeatable
I'll grind to the depths to detect why the bug occurs, repeat it and when I know why, I'll report it to the freeBSD team.

Just reporting bugs not my thing; I also want to report a fix.

I've reinstalled the ghost BSD gfx distro; I have manually wiped the partitions before running The installation sequence again.
ghostBSD does something very nice when you have enough memory
It creates a Ram disk with the whole install sequence in there which makes it lightning fast

This time after the reboot I could get into the operating system contrary to the last time

I'm still hunting down why that occurs
Images maybe included later I'm now busy with the PPE for cycling

I've just included three photographic compositions of the installation process for ghostBSD 👻

Slides have been released on this wonderful piece of balancing software for your proxmox clusters proxyLB
Now you can learn even more about this piece of wonderful software

This Week in Plasma brings a massive performance improvement to Spectacles screen recordings, a cleaner login screen for multi-monitor setups, and a less cluttered configuration page for displays.

Well, now when I wake up from sleep I still have to do the same thing, ctrl+alt+F1, ctrl+alt+F9. Then X11 works. But after waking from sleep, I have a blinking cursor and my mouse cursor. So weird. #freebsd #dpms


It was picom causing X11 not to wake up from dpms sleep. I just want my fancy round edges, can't have anything 'nice' can we? lol #picom #dpms #freebsd


Dear #FreeBSD users,

What shell(as in text shell in the Terminal) do you use?

I stayed up until 4:00 am setting up my FreeBSD system. I had to rise at 6:30 am to get ready for work today. The issue I haven't figured out yet why dpms gives my X11 a heart attack. The work around I've had to come up with is to ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f8 then kill my cwm session with custom hotkey and startx again. I'm hoping to have it solved by the end of the day. #FreeBSD #dpms #amdgpu #navi22


If you haven't done so yet and you are playing with Open Source Operating Systems, read this article about the BSD family

it is very enlightening, and worth every minute of reading it

Finally I've captured some sh photographs of the running minimal freeBSD system

No x.org here. Even mc can't run after the pkg install! It needs proc filesystems installed mounted cfg first

As you can see here the first part of my freeBSD installation is going smoothly

TIL about lsd(1)

What an awsome addition to my lolcat arsenal!

The acronym is not correctly used by me in this case, because I **know** I used LSD in the 1990's (the command in a UNIX ENV:) and LSD is just as pretty as it was psychedelic in the last century!

`man lsd `

An ls command with a lot of pretty colors and some other stuff.

para mi gusto #FreeBSD tiene software mucho mas actualizado y variado. Eso si, es como si instalaras #Arch. Todo tienes que instalarlo desde cero, pero tienen una wiki muy completa.
Actualmente el equipo de FreeBSD esta trabajando para tener mas soporte en laptops.


Ich suche eine helfende Hand für meine #IT Firma @feinste_netzwerke in #Erkrath. Gerne als #Nebenjob für die Abendstunden. Aufgaben sind vielfältig, oft Updates per #SSH #VPN und #Ansible (im Aufbau) und Pflege der Dokumentation mit #GIT #Markdown. Syteme sind #Opnsense #Windows #FreeBSD #TrueNAS #Linux. Erweiterung des Monitorings per #Zabbix

Gerne auch Menschen mit #ADHS da ich eine geordnete Umgebung bieten kann. 100% Remote.

Bitte boosten

Those on #FreeBSD or #OpenBSD that use /bin/sh as their default shell and that includes interactive. Why do you use it and please feel free to share any configuration tips ? Sharing a screenshot of you terminal with custom prompt gets you brownie points. 😉
Please don't respond if you're going to say go with bash or zsh or the likes this is purely an sh related question.
Please do boost and thanks in advance. ❤️
