@lw For SR-IOV interfaces you can lock them to a single MAC address and then use MAC based VLANs if your switch supports that, but it's a really naughty hack.

@jpmens DNSSEC bei wish.com oder ChatGPT bestellt?

@feld This is about your article blog.feld.me/posts/2026/02/usi which scared some people with the implied inability to put IP addresses on bridge interfaces (instead of on the member interfaces).

Show thread

@feld The new FreeBSD 15+ bridge driver will still allow you to put IP addresses on the bridge itself and on VLAN interfaces created on top of the bridge e.g. bridge0.1. There is and never has been a need to use an epair for non-vnet jails.

@feld @mwl @lw Can you put the problem description into numbers?

I have disabled every fucking piece of AI bullshit I can find from Firefox and DESPITE THAT today I got ambushed by a new ASK AN AI CHATBOT line in a fucking image context menu

@mwl Apple should be liable for bricking customer devices and data that are tied to the software and service they're capricously withholding.

Companies spend a lot of money convincing us to trust them.

We^W Countries other than the US have government bodies regulating drug companies, because we can't trust them.

Tech spends the same "trust me" money, but has no regulatory oversight.

Can't blame folks outside tech for not understanding the risks. Blame the companies. Spread the story that the companies can't be trusted and that the cloud is a lie.

And in the name of Dog, back up your digital life on media you control!

@FiLiS I've done the same thing 100s of timeson my home lab just today which is why I would be surprised if this was a filesystem regression, but it's hard to proof a negative.

@FiLiS And in my jail automation development I should've run into this already if it's easy to reproduce.

Create a new filesystem and copy 100s to 1000s of of files into it describes my automation pretty well from the kernel's point of view and mv does the same (before it deletes the source if crossing file systems).

Do you have block cloning enabled?

@FiLiS Is the pool on remote block storage e.g. iSCSI, because that sounds like a hanging process which would be a massive bug in FreeBSD 15.0's OpenZFS port if it was that trival to reproduce.

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_E

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

@dexter @zolotkey @lw I can't just use mount program because mount(8) checks that the mountpoint directory exists **before** running the mount program.

@lw @dexter @zolotkey I'm trying to use autofs to automate on-demand ZFS provisioning.

@dexter @zolotkey @lw My use case is the following: I want to have a special map that knows the jails on my FreeBSD system and compares the origins of cloned ZFS filesystems to the configured origin snapshot. If the read-only clone is stale it should be destroyed and replaced with a fresh clone.

@dexter @zolotkey @lw It looks like FreeBSD's autofs may be heavily inspired by Solaris it doesn't truly support nested mount points aka multi-maps.

If you create one direct map entry for each mountpoint mounting the nested autofs implicitly traverses the earlier autofs mountpoint which triggers the mount, but now filesystems are kept mounted if they have a child mountpoint.

A dirty workaround would be writing a mount program that mounts a whole subtree of filesystems with the automounted flag.

@rmi These fucking idiots should be punished by having to work on a 1.66GHz single-core (with SMT to reveal race-conditions), 1GB RAM, a 160GB 4200rpm HDD and a 56k modem for a year.

Today Google bricked my Chromebook by force-installing a hidden extension that trains a machine vision model on the contents of my screen without my consent, making the whole machine too hot to touch, and I am once again begging someone, anyone, to remove Chrome from Google by any means necessary.
