OpenZFS RAID-Z Expansion: A New Era in Storage Flexibility

I was very excited to create the new artwork for the new version of @secbsd and now I feel sad because I found out that the secBSD project can no longer continue because the resources have been exhausted, there are not enough donations to cover basic expenses like internet, electricity and some tacos/pizza and coffee to have energy during the development, the economic situation changes every moment and donations are needed to maintain the project I am sad because it is a project that contributes a lot to free software and above all to user security; something in which we are all vulnerable nowadays. I'm a big fan of @secbsd and I've always tried to do my bit to keep it going, especially because I understand how difficult it is to develop an idea into a viable and solid project.
😭🥲😭
If you can help to save @secbsd, you can donate a coffee, a pizza, even a month of electricity, it would be a great contribution so that a project that will be very useful for the world doesn't die... ☠️🥲

@OpenBSDAms saved the day yet again :flan_hurrah:​ :flan_cheer:​

Sometime ago, the @OpenBSDAms elves gave me some Intel 8265NGW Wireless LAN Modules free of charge which proved to be handy.

For FreeBSD TBT(4/5)/USB4 work I recently got a 2nd hand HP EliteBook 845 G10 (AMD) which is equipped with MediaTek MT7922 Wireles LAN Module for which FreeBSD doesn't have a (fully) working support yet.

I've just used Intel 8265NGW in place of MediaTek MT7922 and it works like a charm :flan_stars:​.

If this proves anything, it proves that *BSD is one big family :flan_hug:​.

@OpenBSDAms we love you :flan_hug:​ :flan_hug:​ :flan_hug:​
