       I wonder if I've earned my FreeBSD "She hasn't f@£k3d it up yet" level 1 badge ? 🤣#RunBSD #HomeLab

       @justine I think I mentioned last time you were testing it, but first time I used #FreeBSD, I basically set up a NAS that booted a middle environment that served to unlock the final environment with the actual data; basically like dropbear on initramfs + cryptsetup/luks/.... on linux.At first I was annoyed because it wasn't documented explicitly, then I realised that the building blocks made it "so easy" that nobody had bothered writing it yet (hint: reboot -r)

       @justine that to say: when you come in with a solid UNIX-y understanding (which you do), the OS somehow helps you do "weird things" without bothering too much about the details, it kinda gives you all the building blocks.You then lego things together and magic happens :-).Good job!

       @justine OH, and if you haven't done it yet and using ZFS on the NAS: since you are using Samba, you should totally look into these smb settings:vfs objects = shadow_copy2shadow: snapdir = .zfs/snapshotshadow: sort = descshadow: format = %Y-%m-%d-%Hshadow: format should match the name of your ZFS snapshots.If you serve this directory to Windows computers, they'll have a "Previous Versions" tab available; it's really neat!
