🎉 Thank You, FreeBSD Community! 🎉
Thanks to your incredible support in 2024, we’ve raised over $1.3 MILLION to improve and sustain #FreeBSD. Final numbers will be available soon, but you’ve helped us get closer to our goal.

Here’s what you’ve made possible:
🌟 Advancing projects like the Laptop/Desktop Usability Project
🔒 Funding staff to keep FreeBSD secure
📣 Creating webinars & resources for new users
💻 Supporting critical infrastructure

THANK YOU for being an amazing community! 💙

Running now #FreeBSD 14-2-RELEASE.

Boot console blacked out. After some search I found the solution:

# pkg remove drm-61-kmod
# pkg install drm-515-kmod

sizeof != strlen

Now that we know how to use gdb(1), we use it to help us understand a common mistake made when programming in C: misunderstanding the unary 'sizeof' operator, which returns the _storage size of an expression or a data type_, not the length of a string or size of a dynamic buffer.

(This ultimately lead me to write the 'sizeof' manual page now included in #FreeBSD: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sizeof&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+14.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html )

Side-quest: IPC Buffer Sizes

In our discussion of IPC, we noticed that each form must use some sort of buffer. But what is the actual size of those buffers? Is it the same across #NetBSD, #Linux, #FreeBSD and other Unix versions?

Week 1, UNIX History

From Space Travel on a PDP-7 at Bell Labs in New Jersey to AT&T System V and the _B_erkeley _S_oftware _D_istribution, the Unix Wars, USL v. BSDi, the birth of #NetBSD (with the later fork into #OpenBSD) and #FreeBSD, the parallel development of GNU at MIT and its adoption of the new #Linux kernel, and how we ended up with Unix on your fridge, car, and mobile phone.

I just tried #FreeBSD 14.2-BETA1 to use #WiFi on 6 YEARS OLD ThinkPad T480 from 2018 - and it does NOT work - Intel AX210 card.

Yes - #FreeBSD is really fucked up when it comes to WiFi.

This one below is still really and painfully relevant :(

The maintainers of the #FreeBSD Project have released urgent security updates to address a high-severity flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-7589, (CVSS score of 7.4) in #OpenSSH. A remote attacker could exploit the #vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
OpenSSH is an implementation of the SSH protocol suite that offers encrypted and authenticated transport for various services, including remote shell access.

Cuatro apuntes #freebsd en mi cápsula #gemini

Comienzo temprano de vacaciones instalando #FreeBSD con jwm, surf para navegar, y empezando a chusmear tmux para trabajar más en consola, conservar ciclos, y calentar menos la pieza con la compu.

@martindehf: que tal esa instalacion de #freebsd ? nunca lo hice, es jodido?

Happy 30th anniversary, Beastie! The coolest daemon ♥ #Freebsd #freebsd30

Buena noticia, está disponible librewolf para #freebsd desde pkg, aunque en su versión nightly 109 y con algunas limitaciones, pero sin conectar a millones de sitios como hace firefox.
Entre este y Falkon, tengo la navegación algo más asegurada.

A mi laptop del 2008 le está costando actualizar #freebsd a la 13.2-RELEASE, pobetico.

Tenía algo olvidada mi cápsula #gemini así que os traigo 3 artículos sobre #freebsd esta vez sobre ports, actualización 13.2-RELEASE y solución al error 'core generado' en aMule:

gemini://moribundo.flounder.online/blog/fbsd/008_update_13.2.gmi

gemini://moribundo.flounder.online/blog/fbsd/009_error_amule.gmi

Recordad que si aun no tenéis un navegador gemini, podéis verlos desde un navegador web cambiando 'gemini://' por 'https://'

#freebsd actualizada a la 13.1-p7 (69 parches) y también los paquetes (33).
