It's possible you've not heard of #boxyBSD
I was lucky to get a TIL moment when @stefano boosted it's existence into my feed.
However you should know about it, learn something about the user perspective from proxmox in the process, while working with a boxyBSD VM.
Here are some nice screencaps of the boxyBSD site so you can ask nicely for a VM and learn to play with one of the *BSD flavours from a distance.
I'm sure you can duckduckgo the address of boxyBSD when you analyze the screencaps, right?

It has arrived. proxyLB v1.1.0 the loadbalancer for proxmox clusters. Instead of telling you the features of this major version I invite you to read about it yourself, download proxyLB then play with it.
As with any great Open Source project, this has grown out of a necessity that @gyptazy has for his other amazing project boxyBSD, which just needs a versatile tool like this.
Now go and play.

Introducing ProxLB 1.1.0 as an Advanced Loadbalancer for Proxmox Clusters: A Complete Code Refactor for Enhanced Performance and Stability • gyptazy - The DevOps Geek
April, April! No, even it's the first of April - this is real! After months of development, I’m thrilled to announce the release of ProxLB 1.1.gyptazy (gyptazy - The DevOps Geek)
The following must have occurred.
The installer did not use UUID to identify the boot partition. I assume it is because I use the semi-automatic method. I will repeat the installer to see how it happens when I use the full manual method;
I presume that I can then, tell the system that it needs to use the UUIDs for the identification of the partitions regarding root, home and the partitions regarding swap.
Until I get a dedicated SSD for my BSD installations, I shall not be able to make a separate partition for usr and other important sections of the tree which are better managed on separate partitions

I've obtained a separate HDD for my BSD installations.
This time I've made sure that I did not even turn off the SATA tray, in which the HDD resides
I've been able to repeat the exact error which I had gotten when I installed the freeBSD Operating System on the SSD:
After booting a Fresh installation, the FreeBSD bootloader barfs at the fact that it cannot find the kernel even though the drive was not moved
The fact that I used ghostBSD as a flavour variant doesn't matter since it's the latest version of ghostBSD which resides on the latest version of FreeBSD.
I love it when I find little bugs which are easily repeatable
I'll grind to the depths to detect why the bug occurs, repeat it and when I know why, I'll report it to the freeBSD team.
Just reporting bugs not my thing; I also want to report a fix.

I've reinstalled the ghost BSD gfx distro; I have manually wiped the partitions before running The installation sequence again.
ghostBSD does something very nice when you have enough memory
It creates a Ram disk with the whole install sequence in there which makes it lightning fast
This time after the reboot I could get into the operating system contrary to the last time
I'm still hunting down why that occurs
Images maybe included later I'm now busy with the PPE for cycling
I've just included three photographic compositions of the installation process for ghostBSD 👻

I have found an interesting quirk with my freeBSD installation, running on my SATA SSD, which I mount through an USB tray, directly to the USB port on the computer.
As long as i leave the second port of the USB tray open, everything runs fine and smooth. The moment I mount another drive in the second port, freeBSD only does the initial part of the startup sequence and then complains that it cannot go any further.
No further explanation given
Seeking for log files is not an option because the operating system itself doesn't boot.
Where in the documentation should I look for this type of issue?

#HowTo install & run #snac on #FreeBSD - run your own #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse!
In the last days I often got asked about #snac / #snac2 as an alternative to #Mastodon and I can highly recommend it! I few months ago, I already wrote a HowTo about setting snac up on a FreeBSD instance - might be worth to share again 😀 if you’re using snac, you might also want to use my relay service at fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to make your posts more visible in the Fediworld.

This is RFC1 from 1969!
Subject IMP. Don't ask WTF is IMP go & read RFC 1. You will also find RFNM in there. These protocols shaped free open source software!

Do you know RFC? Request for Comments? Go read.
Learn about HTML 2.0 for example. Why? You need to know about the existence of RFC. Realize that networking safety protocols & practice's are covered in RFC. FTTH {good} & FTTC {obsolete} are covered in RFC. FAT (Fibre Access Terminal) are covered in... You're catching on.

I got asked if I could create a #howto for creating a (public) #NAT64 service - just like I did recently for #BoxyBSD. With #DNS64 and #NAT64 you can also reach resource in the legacy internet (#IPv4) on #IPv6 only systems.
While this is based on #unbound and #tayga, there’s also a solution by using the #OpenBSD's native way which is also running on the other gateway. I’ll share a second how to how to do this in OpenBSD and pf.

HowTo: Create a (public) DNS64 & NAT64 Gateway • gyptazy.com - The DevOps geek
As part of my BoxyBSD project, which is designed to operate on IPv6 only network connectivity, I recently implemented and provided DNS64 and NAT64 gateway support to bridge the gap between IPv6 and the legacy IPv4 world.gyptazy (gyptazy.ch - The DevOp geek.)
A great plus is that the LDP also looks great in lynx
It looks quite basic in firefox, which is not bad, but what IS lacking is the fact that it looks like much **less** effort has been put into the LDP in comparison with the freeBSD documentation handbook.
The LDP looks like a mashup of docs put together in an incoherent manner

This is one thing I miss in Linux, while the manpages are a great source for the full technical reference of commands, the Linux Documentation Handbook is terribly lacking since the last time I looked (which is more than a decade and a half ago). I just rechecked and found

installed zsh & bash in boxyBSD for a nice variance in shells
building up freeBSD from *sh is fun and brings memories from doing that with Linux in the pre-Alpha days where you had to do EVERYTHING including build your own boot device image and using rawwrite to dump it on that 3.5" DSHD disk

Woooow! At @BoxyBSD we provisioned our 500th free VPS instance this weekend. Providing you guys free VPS instances with your favorite BSD based system of choice - #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD and also other ones or even #Illumos for our #Solars friends and somehow I'm a little bit proud!
Happy to see that this project provides a huge value to the #opensource community, users, projects and especially for #BSD projects. #RUNBSD with #BoxyBSD!
