Justine SmithiesWell my new Intel N100 16Gb ram, 250Gb NVME is now online running <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=opnsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OPNsense</a> . 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.<br><br><b>[ EDIT - The issue is resolved ]</b><br>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. 😄<br><br>Go to Reporting -> Settings<br>Click "Reset RRD Data"<br>Wait over 1 minute<br><br><a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a><br>
Rob 💚<p>I've been studying fsync() for a couple of years and I thought I'd seen every weird way that it could be used and misused, but this week I learned of one more that exists in the wild: if the program crashes between write() and fsync(), on restart, fsync() after open() to ensure those writes are on disk.</p><p>I am pretty sure this doesn't do what people think it does, and here's why:</p><p><a href="https://despairlabs.com/blog/posts/2025-03-13-fsync-after-open-is-an-elaborate-no-op/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">despairlabs.com/blog/posts/202</span><span class="invisible">5-03-13-fsync-after-open-is-an-elaborate-no-op/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.lol/tags/fsync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fsync</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/OpenZFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenZFS</span></a></p>

Justine SmithiesSo my Intel N100 quad core with 16Gb ram and a 256GB NVME drive and 4 x 2.5Gb ethernet ports has arrived with pfSense preinstalled but I'm thinking I'd be better off with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=opnsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OPNsense</a> installed instead?<br>Am I right as this is going to be my main router / firewall ?

Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>I helped my mother to find a replacement for her *very* old (and partially broken) notebook, and now I have a nice refurbished <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thinkpad</span></a> 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 😆🙈</p><p>Anyways, she told me it should "work exactly as before", so I'll install <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> 14.2 on it soon. It came with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> 10 preinstalled and I just extracted the product key.

hyperreal<p>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.</p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p>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. <a href="https://www.bsdcan.org/2025/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">bsdcan.org/2025/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>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.</p><p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/BSDCan2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSDCan2025</span></a></p>
Jeff Moss<p>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.
