Well my new Intel N100 16Gb ram, 250Gb NVME is now online running #OPNsense . I didn't need to do any of the changes that Ben Tasker mentioned it just gave a full on 1GB PPPoE connection. Fingers crossed I have most things set up correctly ? I did notice a bug after updating though. Before I updated the system health graphs showed the correct date and times now it is showing me the 14th and 10PM UK time yet the systems is reporting the correct date and time plus time zone as I'm using NTP. Oh well no doubt it'll get fixed shortly.

[ EDIT - The issue is resolved ]
I just had to reset the RRD in the settings and wait just over a minute and now all the graphs under health are working as expected. 😄

Go to Reporting -> Settings
Click "Reset RRD Data"
Wait over 1 minute

#FreeBSD #RunBSD

I helped my mother to find a replacement for her *very* old (and partially broken) notebook, and now I have a nice refurbished #Thinkpad T15 (Gen1) sitting here on my couch. It's suddenly this great "shiny new toy feeling" again and I'd love to just keep that machine 😆🙈

Anyways, she told me it should "work exactly as before", so I'll install #FreeBSD 14.2 on it soon. It came with #Windows 10 preinstalled and I just extracted the product key. Question: Is this all I need to be able to reinstall Windows later if ever needed?

I was listening to the BSD Now podcast and they were talking a lot about BSD conventions. It sounded like fun. I'd like to go to one. They said they are very welcoming to newcomers.

With my social phobia and agoraphobia, I think a BSD convention might be more manageable than, say, something like DEFCON or SCaLE. My estimate is that the latter would contain an order of magnitude more people than a BSD convention, and thus take place at larger, more daunting locations.

The folks on the BSD Now podcast mentioned that to maximize enjoyment of a BSD (or any) convention, one must observe the 6-2-1 rule, which consists of at least 6 hours of sleep, 2 meals, and 1 shower. This is reasonable. To help with my anxiety, I'd make it the 6-2-2-1 rule, which is at least 6 hours of sleep, 2 meals, 2 clonazepams (take one an hour before, and one during the convention), and 1 shower.

The closest upcoming BSD convention is BSDCan in June 2025, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The BSDCan website has information about accommodations and traveling to Canada. bsdcan.org/2025/

I looked up flights out of O'Hare to Ottawa on June 10th, and there are 20 available on the Air Canada website. It is a 2 hour flight. ~$252 for economy class seat and a shittier flying experience. ~$500 for a non-refundable business class seat, which is a more tolerable flying experience. ~$600 for a refundable business class one. I'm leaning toward the latter.

Continued thread

I spent a day fiddling around and the farthest I got was booting with a custom kernel with all CPUs but then only a single SSD being detected, all other controllers and drives were not detected or in dmesg. So a resource thing.
#FreeBSD

Just got bit by this bug: truenas.com/community/threads/

The "daemon" executable shipped with the latest #TrueNAS still doesn't support the only jail environments available. Replacing "daemon" with the one from the root works.

A little worried now, since #FreeBSD tends to delete packages for older distros and seems to forbid any kind of mirroring beyond caching. Hopefully TrueNAS isn't dead?

I stole this, but: Berkeley Stingy Distribution 😩

TrueNAS CommunityWARNING - don't upgrade your TrueNAS CORE jails to FreeBSD 13.3 just yetEDIT: FreeBSD 13.2 will be supported until early June 2024 and jails with 13.2 run just fine on the current version of TrueNAS CORE. So just don't upgrade your jails to 13.3 until after the release of TN CORE 13.1. EDIT2: If you have a jail already upgraded to 13.3 and neither a roll back from...
