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?

Continued thread

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've been using Fedora as my primary desktop OS since the "Fedora Core" days. The behavior of Red Hat under Mike McGrath prompted me to distro hop for the first time in about a decade, but I'm just too comfortable with Fedora and went back. I could get used to something else, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My two primary OSes are Fedora and NetBSD. I think this may be a combination that's unique in the world, lol. Curious to know if there are others :)

Today I've been playing with #pkgsrc on #FreeBSD and trying to get some of my #NetBSD packages working on it.

pkgsrc bootstrap worked well on FreeBSD. Hardest part is remember you can't just type make any more!

I've been focussing on the #XenServer tools which looks to be rather stagnant in FreeBSD ports. The #pkgsrc version will work better on FreeBSD than the version from ports.

Just need to work out what to do about rc.d scripts. I can't find any prior art for rc.d from pkgsrc on FreeBSD
