@jimsalter @etchedpixels @feoh Anker Solix isn't available in Australia. I know you have issues with Bluetti but they are available and have excellent support here. For the price, the fan noise can be dealt with a better designed installation environment. FWIW, I just picked up an AC180 because my Cyberpower dropped another battery pack.

Remote mail support is a pain in the arse, unless you run your own mail server. Outsource it they say, yeah, nahh. #RYOMS

@rubenerd @axiixc I know @jimsalter has lots of stories about that ‘military grade’ quality

@JoeRess I think this goes beyond producers and the voice 'talent' (I use that loosely as I don't consider myself very talented) should be listening to it post production to see how they can improve themselves. Always learning and trying to be your best self.

Someone (not me) is using one of my old child name servers (listed as a glue record) not allowing me to delete said glue record. I'm sure their DNS and any sort of web presence is extremely broken and causing time outs. But verisign will not provide what domains are pinned to these old records. @jpmens do you have any insights on how to get this resolved?

Memory management on #Linux is a bit borked. I tried to ingest 4GB of records from a file into a list (array) with #Python. Instead of the machine releasing RAM, it decided just to use swap and before I knew it, swapped was consumed and the Python process fell over.I'll move the workload over to one of my #FreeBSD lab hosts tonight and re-run the script.

@ianthetechie @feld I can confirm that #Python on #FreeBSD behaves as one would expect. It consumes all RAM (with #ZFS releasing ARC as expected) and then dips into swap. As soon as Python releases memory after the ingestion routine, the swap is purged to near zero and the RAM then becomes available (and used) by the system. Far more predictable and reliable.If you have big, vertical workloads, FreeBSD is where it is at.

@stefano Change Linux to Windows and BSD to Linux.... See how this works Linux people? It wasn't very long ago...Alternative Universe - "When I complain that some software (or its dependencies) doesn't work on Linux but requires Windows, I'm not criticizing Windows. For me, it's not an OS battle, but a matter of freedom and avoiding a dangerous and rampant computing monoculture. And when people reply to me with "well, just use it on Windows" - while they're giving me sensible advice - they're missing the crucial point: if it ONLY runs on Windows, it's not Windows's fault, but we are, precisely, creating a dangerous monoculture."

@shmok Probably overkill. PF will only run on one core, so faster cores the better. If you are running various other daemons on it then more cores will help. Depending on your uplink, how many states and concurrent streams each device behind it is using (think torrent), then 8 cores is going to be overkill.My 'gateway' is 2vCPU and 2GB of RAM running 7.7-RELEASE. IPv4/IPv6 NSD,Unbound,multi-vlan,IKEv2,OpenBGPD,wireguard no issues at all.

According to the #Lenovo M920q specs, the machine can only run 32GB of RAM. However, the 8th Gen i5 CPU can address 128GB of RAM. So I purchased 2x32GB DDR4 SODIMM and packed it out. After some memory training, the machine came to life with the full 64GB running nicely. Excellent #bhyve hypervisor as there is no hyper-threading on that CPU to worry about. #gettohosting

Flawless upgrade of #FreeBSD 15.0-BETA3 to 15.0-RC2 using #pkgbase . Night and day performance against freebsd-update. #bandwidthischeap

Looking at the fragility of the internet, there is one pillar that doesn't appear to be on anyone's radar. That is #letsencrypt .Lets Encrypt just works so is clearly not front and center lately but with certificate lifecycle being reduce further and further over the coming years, it is probably not wise to bank on a single provider where an over-run of renewals could DDoS them into oblivion.What other options are out there? #tlscertificate #tls

So I used my first #IPv6 NAT on #OpenBSD and it worked as intended. This is a local ULA so is never meant to be routed but the control plane does need some access for #NTP, syslog, snmp etcmatch out on egress inet6 from (vlan10:network) to any nat-to 2001:db8:d00b:a::1

It appears that pkg.freebsd.org is under a bit of strain today (or pkg0.syd is busted again).Yeap Sydney is busted. This is why there should be more public mirrors in other Autonomous Systems.pkg0.syd.freebsd.org: 0.0 B/s#FreeBSD

@thedaemon @Wrewdison It is available now as a technical preview in the installer or you can use pkgbasify from ports to convert an existing system. Welcome to the future #FreeBSD

Now my #IPv6 only network has IPv6 to IPv4 egress using DNS64 in #unbound and an af-to rule for 64:FF9B::/96. I just need to stand up an IPv6 only NGINX reverse proxy and the whole network will have native IPv6 and IPv4 access to the internet.The configuration is very simple and once in place is set and forget.Do not roll out IPv4 for any new deployments. Also think about migrating away from dual stack.#OpenBSD

I'm trying to de-shitify my personal computing experience and go back to an interface that was basic, that we just got stuff done. What DE and theme options are there for an Amiga Workbench like experience? I'd even consider going further back to DESQView just to rid myself of the enshitification that #KDE and #GNOME are becoming with their #systemd requirements (non-portable platforms).
