#FreeBSD features another drive-by vulnerability: https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-25:12.rtsold.asc
#Freebsd
For those of your with your own #poudriere installation, did you upgrade to 15.x via freebsd-update or pkg?
I can't build 15 packages before I'm on 15....
so I guess at least one host will always update using #FreeBSD provided packages, forever.
Man I seem to have a major problem with any popular OS, like some kind of techno-hipster. Before #Linux became cool, I was always eyeing it off and experimenting with #FreeBSD when I was feeling edgy.
Now I’ve got my project computers running #OpenBSD and I’m trying to scope out a #9Front project. Heaven help me if mainline Unix becomes popular again.

How to Launch a FreeBSD 15 VPS Server
Well, FreeBSD 15.0 is now available! If you're a BSD user, you probably want to get your hands on it quickly. So, this guide aims to help you accomplish that, without delay!
What's New in FreeBSD 15.x?
FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE contains a ...

Well, #Debian #Trixie 64-bit seems to be rock-solid when I run it in #Virtualbox, it's only a crashy piece of shit in #UTM. 32-bit Trixie is fine in UTM, as are #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD. This isn't a general 64-bit #Linux issue, as #Devuan #Excalibur seems to be stable.
I suppose that means it's time to ditch Debian for my #CPAN testing.

It is so very satisfying to see a FreshPorts commit processing queue quickly fill up when it comes back online after being down (for modification in this case).

review and rationale for this /boot/kernel.GENERIC change: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D54282
(a lot of people have been asking for this, so i really hope we can land it.)
Is adding 'sysctl hw.acpi.reset_video=1' in /etc/rc.resume still recommended to get resume working in #FreeBSD 15? My laptop can suspend but not resume. Leaves me with a black screen with a large white cursor in the top left.
@eestileib Tried again with #Waterfox v6.6.6,1 on #FreeBSD v14.3; started fine & had set the desired options.
After quitting & restarting got …
Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[0][GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt (t=192.593) [GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt
… removing "~/.{waterfox,cache/waterfox}" directories did not change anything.
I do not expect anyone to resolve it; nor am I inclined to file a bug.

Oops, a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the daemon that processes IPv6 Router Advertisements. That's not good.
I guess that makes today the day that I upgrade my 14.3 box to 15.0-RELEASE-p1.
To develop some app that FreeBSD cannot support: Android Studio IDE, Arduino IDE, Flutter. I use Debian under bhyve as FreeBSD's sidekick. Simple, mature, and powerful.
🚨 ALERT: FreeBSD's "security" geniuses have discovered that their router advertisements can execute code remotely! 😱💻 But don't worry, they patched it in record time—by repeating the same date and time for every version. 🕒🔧 Bravo, truly groundbreaking work! 👏

I’ve opened a PR to avoid hardcoding the FreeBSD version to 14.0 in the Podman installation instructions and make it more generic.
