jbz🤔 Why Choose to Use the BSDs in 2025 —<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@stefano</a>｢ Yes, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes are better than closed source solutions.

Stefano MarinelliNow that it's official, I can announce it - although I may have dropped a few hints earlier! 😉 My talk "Why (and how) we’re migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs" has been accepted, and I’ll be honored to present it in June at BSDCan in Ottawa.The joy of meeting BSD friends in person again (and those I haven’t had the chance to meet live yet) will be immense, and the honor of sharing my story in Canada is truly beyond measure, especially considering the level of other talks and all the people attending.Of course, I’ll be bringing various BSD Cafe gadgets with me!For more information, here’s <a href="https://io.mwl.io/@mwl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mwl</a> 's post with further details: <a href="https://blog.bsdcan.org/2025/03/18/bsdcan-2025-talks-tutorials-and-registration/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.bsdcan.org/2025/03/18/bsdcan-2025-talks-tutorials-and-registration/</a><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BSDCan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a>

Goddess PeachServer builders of fedi. Does this build seem reasonable for a vm host/nas combo before i start throwing money at getting parts? My goals are: To sip power when mostly idle Be quiet Stay relatively cool work with video transcoding in jellyfin fit within 2-3U of rackspace while still performing well as a hypervisor host hardware: - Motherboard: MSI B550-A PRO - CPU: AMD ryzen 5 5600G (6C/12T) - CPU cooler: Noctua NH-L9i - RAM: whatever brand 128gb ddr4-3600, 4*32gb sticks (ECC is not needed as far as i understand as it's a small deployment) - Hard drives: 5*4TB WD purple 5400rpm - since there enterprise drives under the hood they should be fine, and will be brought from diffrent batches. - SSDs: 2*1TB cruial P3 Plus - generic pcie x1 to m.2 adapter (the second pciex16 lane seems to be disabled if the second m.2 slot on the motherboard is used, i'm not too sure of that's specific to just this motherboard or a specfiction issue with bus bandwidth along pcie lanes generally). It will be slowee but it's a boot drive on a server and will be for redundancy in any case. - PSU: corsair sf600 600W sfx psu (or any sfx power supply of similar wattage depending on price) - nic: solarflare dual 40Gbe infiniband nic (i don't remeber the exact model) - maybe an external HBA if i choose to add a JBOD later on for additional Zdevs. - an additional pciex16 slot spare if i need to paas a gpu through to a vm if required software stack: boot drives: raid 1 mirrored. hard drives: zraid5 (4+1 parity in a single zdev) host: <a href="https://spookygirl.boo/tags/NetBSD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> with a xen hypervisor. - Guests: ° 2 * <a href="https://spookygirl.boo/tags/OpenBSD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> for public services ° 2 for personal services to avoid any real world identity leaks between professional and personal servers. The 2 vms allow for updates without downtime. ° Kicksecure/hardendbsd for jellyfin and similar services. ° 2 vm's for database failover running netbsd or openbsd. - shared files between vm's being done over sshfs, smb or nfs. the only real issue i personally see with this system is the lack of <a href="https://spookygirl.boo/tags/libreboot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libreboot</a> or <a href="https://spookygirl.boo/tags/coreboot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coreboot</a> so maybe a intel based system would be better for that? But maybe i'm overlooking some other issues? Pc part picker is suggesting this system will pull 366 watts as its estimated max wattage which isn't too bad, and that doesn't account for cstates or other power saving functionalities.

The fifth option ("VPN/server") is for someone who uses BSD on a server they manage, but don't have physical access to. The sixth ("at work") through eighth ("secondary laptop/desktop") is for those who regularly use some variant of BSD, but not as a primary daily driver. The ninth and tenth options are for "dog-fooding"Oh, right, and I'm sorry, but it really must need be said: MacOS, iOS, and other Apple products do not count. Sorry again.

Stefano MarinelliI'm starting to prepare the ideas for the talk I'll give at OSDay (<a href="https://osday.dev/agenda" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://osday.dev/agenda</a>) next month. One of the issues I often face is explaining to people that just because I appreciate and prefer using the BSDs doesn't mean I'm AGAINST Linux. I never liked the "distro wars" even twenty-five years ago because I’ve always thought that, in the end, we’re all heading in the same direction. The message I’ll try to convey isn’t that I don’t want to use Linux, but that the BSDs are more suited to the ways I use them, and why, in my opinion, they can also be useful to those who will attend. In other words, I’ll suggest giving them a try. In an extremely polarized world (even in tech), it probably won’t be easy. Just before the Covid emergency, I was offered a "challenge" talk (by a Windows sysadmin I know). People, he said, love this kind of format. I declined. For me, it's just about using the right tool for the right purpose, not a war.

Stefano MarinelliAbout a month ago, while talking with a colleague who had experience only with Linux, he mentioned that he knew of the BSDs but had never "had the courage" to try them. I suggested he give them a shot, reminding him not to think of BSDs as "just another Linux" but as entirely different operating systems. Focusing on security, I recommended OpenBSD - also mentioning HardenedBSD, sure it would pique his interest.A few hours ago, he called me about something else and confirmed that for weeks now, he's been using OpenBSD on his laptop (disk encrypted), FreeBSD on two servers, and NetBSD on an embedded device at home. He plans to experiment with HardenedBSD and DragonflyBSD in the coming weeks.However, he did have one complaint: we've known each other for five years, and I never encouraged him to try this earlier! 😀<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/HardenedBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HardenedBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DragonflyBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DragonflyBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Security</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a>

nixCraft 🐧I’ve talked before about how I think NetBSD is “boring”, and that it’s among the highest forms of praise I can give tech as a sysadmin and architect. But I’ve never elaborated why that is.
