A new BSDCan video has been posted:
Effective Bug Reports, Code Change Requests, and Conference Proposals by Michael Dexter @dexter

https://youtu.be/iaYL_NlU444

Open Source is participatory and BSD Unix is no exception, with its own unique development workflows and events. Bug reporting, code proposing, and event participation are fundamental elements of the BSD Unix community and despite appearances, are open to anyone to participate.

This talk will take a pragmatic tour of effective engagement on these topics with real-world examples and tips for:

Bug reports that are actionable and inspire attention

Code change requests and reviews that are more likely to review and acceptance

Conference proposals that stand out, accurately set expectations, and are more likely to be accepted

The secret is that all of that all of these are fundamentally indistinguishable: You are tasked with marketing your idea to others and must show your work, justify your points, demonstrate sincerity, and ultimately convince others of your initiative, regardless of its size.

The image shows a mobile device screen displaying the Fossify website. At the top, there is a black status bar with the time "20:17," a Gmail icon, a star icon, a notification icon, and a battery icon showing 92% charge. Below the status bar, the Fossify logo is displayed, featuring a green square with a white bird-like symbol and the word "FOSSIFY" in gray text. A green navigation bar with options "Apps," "Blog," "About," and "English" is visible. The main content area has a black background with green text stating "Our products." It describes Fossify apps as community-backed, open-source, and ad-free, mentioning they are a fork of the [@]SimpleMobileTools suite. The text continues, explaining that Fossify aims to continue the legacy of simple and private tech. At the bottom, there is a green button with the text "See the Big Picture," and a calendar section with the word "Calendar" in gray text. The URL "fossify.org/apps" is visible in the browser's address bar at the bottom of the screen. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.952 Wh

The image displays a smartphone screen with a gallery application open. The screen is divided into two main sections: the top section shows the gallery interface with a green background and the title "Clean UI" in white text. Below this, there is a smartphone image displaying various photo thumbnails organized into categories such as "Motion," "Animals," "Nature," "Videos," "Food," "Cute," and "Camera." Each category has a count of photos, with "Motion," "Animals," "Nature," "Food," and "Cute" each having 100 photos, and "Videos" having 10. The bottom section of the screen features buttons for downloading the app from Google Play and a "Read more" button. The status bar at the top shows the time as 20:17, the battery level at 92%, and a 4G signal.

Did you know FreeBSD had a lightweight solution for secure process isolation long before container tech was trendy? It’s called Jails—an elegant way to run multiple services securely, while keeping each one neatly separated.

The $69 Billion Domino Effect: How #VMware’s Debt-Fueled Acquisition Is Killing #OpenSource, One Repository at a Time

Is anyone using https://karrot.world/#/welcome ( @karrot ! )

it looks like my jam, tho I have done well with event planning sites instead of full group coordination sites.

What #OpenSource and #SelfHost can do. Had an idea, discussed it here. Seemed to rhyme with people. Booked two domains. Created a landing page with #Jekyll and CI/CD from a #git repo on my #Forgejo instance. Created logo with #Inkscape. Added #letsencrypt certificate. Put it on my VPS (Virtual Private Server) running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, (#RHEL) where it is now served with #Nginx. Git repo mirrored to #Codeberg so all can join. In under 8h.

Current simple landing page for devBnB. Simple, elegant design with a logo that renders fine from mobile to widescreen.

Building the static pages for the website automatically with the forgejo runner that runs after every push to the repo.

New #blog post. Let's write a peephole optimizer for #QBE that operates on #AArch64 assembly code. Three years ago, we did this for #AMD64 assembly code. But now that I have Arm machines, we can replicate the effort for another CPU architecture.

The good thing about open source is that there's an endless amount of stuff to try, explore, and study. It's wonderful.

The bad thing about open source is that as soon as you stop trying, exploring, or studying something, another thing will come along right away. And another. And another...
And not always in a series.

#OpenSource #OpenMind

Running multiple services safely on a single FreeBSD system? That’s where jails come in. Lightweight, secure, and around long before Docker, jails make it easy to contain services and minimize exposure in case of security issues.

#OpenSource is one person https://opensourcesecurity.io/2025/08-oss-one-person/

@david_chisnall @aparrish great post. I agree. The Unix philosophy (which is to make small, modular CLI tools that you can pipe into each other) holds back such a comprehensive vision from appearing: a complete RAD GUI IDE - the sort that only a fairly large budget and team, headed by a benevolent dictator, not a committee - could create (like Delphi).

The #Unix philosophy falls on its face when it's time to create an OpenSource Delphi *that everyone would want to use, and gains traction*, a sizeable and formidable undertaking (not to mention any credible threat to Active Directory). This failing does not go unpunished: along comes Microsoft with their Visual Studio Code, filling the gap, and leading impressionable, naive #OpenSource newcomers astray to #Microsoft technologies like Azure, C#, etc.

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

@aparrish let the record state that it's 2025 and there's no official Delphi-like #OpenSource RAD IDE for, say, #python. (Python's official GUI toolkit is laughably TCL/Tk). Not even $5 million can be scrounged for funding this, by, say, the #Linux Foundation, which is a sum of money which is next to nothing for them.
