For anyone using #nvidia GPUs having #GSP (Turing or newer generations, I guess) and suspend/resume stops working after upgrading x11/nvidia-driver to 570 series (current in-tree version is 570.124.04) on #FreeBSD:
Try setting hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=0 in your /boot/loader.conf as proposed by Austin in Bug 285741 Comment 7
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285741#c7
and Bug 285803 Comment 3.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285803#c3
I myself don't have any GPUs having GSP, so cannot test, and I've never succeeded in suspending/resuming after FreeBSD switched from APM to ACPI, so I've surprized someone succeeded in suspending/resuming with nvidia GPUs. Possibly problems specific with ThinkPads having nvidia dGPUs in it.
new FreeBSD PR for bridge(4), reviews would be appreciated: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/1634
this PR allows the native VLAN ID of a bridge member to be configured. this is not bridge vlan filtering, but it's a necessary prerequisite for that.
it lets you do this:
% ifconfig bridge0 addm iface0 ifvlan iface0 20
% ifconfig bridge0 addm iface1 ifvlan iface1 20
% ifconfig bridge0 addm iface2 ifvlan iface2 30
% ifconfig bridge0 addm iface3 ifvlan iface3 30
now iface0 and iface1 can communicate, and iface2 and iface3 can communicate, but iface0/iface1 cannot communicate with iface2/iface3.
@imperio Wait a sec? You complain about #FreeBSD kernels instability, but FreeBSD goes extra mile in providing tightly coupled `libc` which isolates users from the kernel's details.
If you voluntary decided to play with kernel's guts, that's your burden - don't expect system with different philosophy to play stable ABI game as #Linux Kernel does.

I am working on creating a handbook that describes the assistive technologies available in the FreeBSD operating system, which will be freely available online for anyone to consult. Currently, the effort is focused on gathering and documenting accessibility features for visual impairments, and it is sponsored by the @FreeBSDFoundation

How to configure and run podman (an awesome docker alternative) on FreeBSD - #Video by BSDJedi #Virtualization #FreeBSD https://youtu.be/L5z1_T4nHSU
Today Microsoft suddenly revealed extensive plans to advance in a quite unexpected direction creating a special division called #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD Optimization Lab (FOOL, in short).
One of the key goals of the new structure would be, I quote, "to introduce FreeBSD and OpenBSD users to advanced user experience available to Windows users", such as:
a) Kernel-level #Copilot integration, that enables, for example, intelligent control over booting process and better syscalls handling leveraging power of Microsoft Azure platform;
b) introducing proper "Blue screen of death". #BSD users are notoriously unfamiliar with such an important component of normal user experience - brace yourself, devil worshippers!
c) deprecating local user accounts: every BSD users knows that this age-old feature is just a relic of the past and part of huge technical debt. Now with Microsoft support they can finally get rid of it and enjoy having truly flexible and secure account system.
Those are just a few key goals of the new and bold initiative.
Surely, unexpected but, nevertheless, glad news for every BSD enjoyer out there.
The oceans might rise and drown Atlantis, destroying its temples and libraries. But with this powerful conjuration the priests and scribes could maintain copies in Lemuria and other far-flung lands. #Linux #FreeBSD #OpenSource https://cromwell-intl.com/open-source/rsync.html?s=mc

FreeBSD - February 2025 Laptop Support and Usability Project Update
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?
#bash #proxyLB #freeBSD #boxyBSD #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #netBSD #openBSD #POSIX #proxmox #loadbalancer
The news feed page[s] were not laid out well. Two pages, disjointed information, hard to figure out how to use the optional parameters...
Thankfully, someone told me.
The new page is ready for your review. Please see the last comment: https://github.com/FreshPorts/freshports/issues/621#issuecomment-2767704194
Use #FreeBSD as they have good documentation they said.
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tunefs&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+14.2-RELEASE+and+Ports
```
-n enable | disable
Turn on/off soft updates
```
At some places I find good documented. But at many places I find stuff similar to the given example.
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.
#bash #proxyLB #freeBSD #boxyBSD #sh #zsh #ksh #csh #netBSD #openBSD #POSIX #proxmox #loadbalancer
News of the day: Since Windows doesn't run so well, Microsoft decided to create WindowsBSD, their new free and open source operating system based on FreeBSD with Windows app compatibility
