In this video we will take a FreeBSD system and prepare, setup and configure FreeBSD jails (thin and thick) by using the Bastille jails automation framework.

Ha, nice to have you around, thank you for the article ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Hi,

This is a video from Linux Renaissance that shows how to change the traditional logo of a Thinkpad to something more personal.

The author follows the instructions of a post from Justine Smithies blog.

There is also an older video on this subject from iBSD.

Enjoy ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Description from YouTube:

This is Part 1 of a comprehensive A-to-Z series on setting up #FreeBSD 14.2 on my #ThinkPad X61. In this video, we focus on the base installation, laying the foundation for the full setup. Future videos will cover configuring the desktop environment or window manager, switching to bash, installing drivers, and more.

 

Description from YouTube:

In this video we will take you to the process of upgrading the FreeBSD bootloader after a release upgrade, ensuring system compatibility and preventing boot issues.
This step-by-step guide covers BIOS and UEFI based systems.

 

14.2-RELEASE now includes OCI-compatible images, and the Podman toolkit on FreeBSD is ready to use them, on both amd64 and arm64 systems.

You are on Lemmy and you are leaving Facebook, you don't need anything else, you've got everything already.

 

Description from YouTube:

In this video to process to upgrade FreeBSD from one minor release to another is demonstrated, including essential background information, commands and tips.

That's a possibility indeed, but at least he documented all the steps, it's great to see that because it looks like a lot of work. But I agree at the first that big long page for sure can be intimidated (CTRL+F is your best friend here).

He doesn't look like someone who doesn't know docker, there is a whole section on that wiki page where he describes what docker is and how it works in details.
He just decided to not dockerize his installation because:

  1. he thinks VM in his case are more practical.
  2. docker didn't even exist when he started to go self-hosting.

For some reason you are just having a bad moment mate, rejoice! Nothing is dead.
I mean Reddit is still alive, like it or not I don't think it's going to change any time soon.
Lemmy does its own things, sure it didn't grow as expected but it is doing good, those things take time and we should not expect Lemmy to become the new Reddit.

For me the main issue on Lemmy is the number of thread/community/people that want to talk absolutely about Reddit, at this point this is just counterproductive it's like people can't get over it, the first few months it was okay but now it's just non sense.

 

Nice way to learn things about vidcontrol, nicely explained BTW.
Thanks @TECHMIMIC

 

Interesting video, I didn't even know that it was possible to change the menu logo to a random picture, not essential but funny.
Thanks @TECHMIMIC

No expert here, but you should check on Protectli, they have good stuff, small form factor(mostly), fanless, serial com which is convenient in some situation.
I have one (intel not amd) that is currently not in use for personal reason but when it was running, I found the hardware very reliable, silent and not hot.
Prices are not as good as some cheap hardware you can find on Aliexpress or Amazon but somehow I trust more company like Protectli than any noname because at least with Protectli devices it is possible to install coreboot to override the default bios. (BTW when people check the bios on their cheap hardware then things are getting weird, which version it is ..., doesn't sound like something I would trust to manage a network, just saying).

 

YouTuber GaryHTech try to make a FreeBSD custom ISO by using release(7).
As usual with Gary the content is bare minimal but IMO this can be actually useful to know, and who knows may be a part 3 will follow.

As usual thanks to the author.

 

Nice and quick video about the pkg command, explanations are good and easy to follow.
This video is apparently the first one of a hopefully long series, fingers crossed, thanks to the author.

It happens sometimes :)

Thank you for this new article.
Personally I have no use for Kuma but I am glade that you show us how you make it work with FreeBSD, nice little trick.
Good job!

oops ! I think I did not post that in the right /sub/community/ ? lol I don't even know what is it called
Anyway the next one should be a better place for that video: https://blendit.bsd.cafe/c/bsd
