New #FreeBSD #NAS build coming soon! :freebsd:
Totally silent and the CPU is passive cooled. Will be leveraging #ZFS of course and vanilla #FreeBSD
Hopefully the weekend will provide enough time to do all the thingies I have planned...
Stay tuned 😎

2024-06-14 20:09:14

Take this with a grain of salt:
If the OS you use has next to no maintenance I call it perfect
That is how I use #FreeBSD on the #NAS
It just works.... the end
I always forget to do anything on the OS level on it.
It just does what it is supposed to do. No worries, no problems, it just works (TM)
#FreeBSD #BSD

2024-06-14 20:07:35

Oh my.... I do need to uprade the #NAS to 14.1.....
Well, the weekend is here.. so I might do it soon 😂
#FreeBSD fun :freebsd:

2024-06-14 20:00:55

Wishing all my #BSD guys and gals a great weekend! :freebsd: :openbsd:

Building a NAS is easy
Make sure your data is local and that you have backups
I personally have nothing in the "cloud" - refuse to do so
All local storage, FreeBSD and ZFS

#OpenBSD got #wifi right - all I'm saying. :openbsd:
Simple, uses #ifconfig and with merely three lines one is done.

2024-06-07 18:55:15

Wishing everyone in the #BSD community a happy weekend! 😎

A thing I very much like about the #man pages on any #BSD is the fact that there are really good examples provided directly in those! 😎
No needless searching around. It is all in the #man page.
Always go for the #man page first before searching the web - most answers are already there.

2024-05-30 16:51:39

One simply has to love seeing #OpenBSD boot - White text on blue = just awesome 😎
The Yoga 260 runs #OpenBSD like a champ so far. No issues or worries at all.
CPU temperature is around 45C while doing daily tasks - nothing to stress about.

2024-05-30 16:48:53

Overhauled the #OpenBSD #Desktop #Ansible #Playbook :openbsd:
#Xfce is the desktop environment of choice. Also some imrpovements and SMT enabled by default now. Xenodm is optional.

Running #OpenBSD on the #ThinkPad Yoga 260 - Installation and setup + hardware probe :openbsd:
Just wrote the article while setting up #OpenBSD on the machine.

Isn't it good to come home to your #BSD machines. :freebsd:
Sure is needed after a full day of Windows fun. (Dealing with some quirks today... it is what it is)

2024-05-20 17:30:42

#OpenBSD has one of the best man pages out there - period. I always enjoy reading them. Mostly, answers are found in the Examples section or just straight by reading a bit. :openbsd:
This video pretty much sums up this:

That would also be a possibility!
is LibreNMS easy to handle?

2024-05-18 15:36:13

Think I set up #Monit on #FreeBSD to play around with a monitoring solution to some extent. Not really using anything other than #uptimekuma at the moment.
#Grafana / #Prometheus would be nice as well.
Mhh, let's see.

2024-05-11 16:48:39

Forgot my #NAS running #FreeBSD for quite some time now...
That is the greatest thing a admin can receive: A system that just works without me fiddling with it forever.
Just did the upgrades and all is well again.
#FreeBSD just works and works and works... :freebsd:

2024-05-03 19:48:06

The great thing about having many systems:
Experimentation all the way.
I can run all the systems I want without worrying.
#Linux or #BSD all the way! :freebsd: 🐧

2024-05-03 19:38:42

The weekend has finally arrived.
Booting my #Debian box wiht #Xfce and enjoying some #YouTube along the way - good times for sure 😎
You all have a good one! 😉

2024-04-18 19:02:48

Fun fact:
I still remember my first #BSD steps.
I was absolutely fascinated by #OpenBSD when I first found it back on 2009...
Well, it's been a long time... and I still run #BSD :openbsd:
The feeling of running #OpenBSD never left. I can't quite explaint it.. it felt alien and familiar at the same time - peradox.

Relaxing and contemplating a little 🙂
Nothing much for today.
Having a walk is a great way to find some quiet and peace 😎

I offer a whole closet for all your server needs. No worries there.
Also, I have a dedicated 56k modem here!

2024-04-01 14:22:40

As of now I will change all my system over to #Windows 98 SE
#BSD is simply to unstable and unusable. We need more GUI elements with rounded corners so nobody gets hurt!
I invite you to join me in installing 98.
After all: It is the future

So many levels there... 😀

2024-03-25 21:14:37

Signs you are addicted to #BSD :freebsd: :openbsd:
1. Searching for systems to run #BSD on
2. Making excuses to install another derivative
3. The words #homelab and stable are an illusion
4. Did I mention #BSD yet?

Morning 😎
Having some fun with Jails from what I can tell 😉
It is cold for sure. Yesterday in the morning hours we had -14C....
At least in the coming week it will get much warmer over here 😎
How is your now mobile phone so far? 🙂

2024-01-14 17:55:06

Aynone can say whatever they want - I love those setups that are hand crafted and simple 😎
Sometimes, things are more enjoyable when they don't fit 100% into the so called "perfect look and feel" category!
Btw: The software side itself is complex enough

2023-12-17 14:22:38

pkgsearch version 0.9 is out! 😎 :openbsd:

At this point I think we can all agree that the bsd.cafe community, that we are all a part of, has grown substantially! 😀
A little "Thanks" from me at this very point to everyone! 🙂
May there be many more great years and good things to come! 👍

2023-09-28 10:12:47

Ordered a 8GB RAM stick for the #NAS 🙂
Currently only 4GB installed. This will also give me some more options to play around with #FreeBSD 😎

2023-09-27 19:09:13

Used to run may #NAS with a #Linux distro.
Went full vanilla #FreeBSD some months ago with #ZFS
One word: Awesome 😎
#RUNBSD #BSD

2023-09-27 18:47:42

Everyone should try #ZFS on #FreeBSD 😎
It is dead simple to use!
zpool create nas mirror /dev/ada0 /dev/ada2
The end. You have a RAID1 mirror.
Thanks to all the #ZFS and #FreeBSD devs out there!

2023-09-17 18:10:33

Running my #NAS with #FreeBSD is truly great.
I'm at the point where I forget that there is a os handling all of it.
Setup once and pretty much forget... it just works! 😎
