Holly Ukulele! I had Python run some CUDA/Torch stuff on #FreeBSD using the #Nvidia eGPU and the #Linuxulator system 😱 Not in a Jail yet though. Also, the thing runs in a mixed mess of FreeBSD rl9 packages and Container-Base content; because I don't understand how you're supposed to use dnf to install things in /compat/linux. Maybe you're not supposed to... :D
Gotta sort my notes now and try to have it done properly...
Still, kind of happy now.
The Book of PF, 4th Edition: It's Here, It's Real https://nxdomain.no/~peter/its_real_its_here.html - now that I have physical copies, I'll bring some to the upcoming conferences such as #asiabsdcon #bsdcan #eurobsdcon #freebsd #openbsd #pf #packetfilter #networking #networktrickery #freesoftware #libresoftware #bookofpf @EuroBSDCon @nostarch
I'm devastated! I made https://github.com/maolan/maolan work on #FreeBSD and #Linux in about 2.5 months, but I can't make it work on #Windows with VST3. I'm banging my head for the last month on what to try next and I'm afraid I spent more time in windbgx than in any debugger EVER! If you're willing to send a patch or tell me what to do to make it work on Windows, I'll be more than grateful!
Can somebody help me with #NetBSD running in #FreeBSD bhyve? When I run startx inside NetBSD I get kernel panic (in the VM, not host). This is my command:
bhyve \
-D \
-S \
-H \
-w \
-c 4 \
-m 32G \
-s 0,hostbridge \
-s 3,nvme,/dev/zvol/zroot/netbsd \
-s 10,virtio-net,tap1 \
-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5901,w=1024,h=768 \
-s 30,xhci,tablet \
-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \

I tried to support #OpenBSD with Maolan, but I failed. The iced doesn't use WGPU on this operating system, and using tiny-skia doesn't show the window in my VM. If anybody patches iced/WGPU on OpenBSD, I'd be grateful if they would let me know so I can try again.
https://github.com/maolan/maolan is feature complete, now I'm working on bugs that appear on #FreeBSD. Once that's done, #Linux is next, then #Windows and then other BSDs and Illumos. I can't want to release version 0.0.1 😃
I started working on my implementation of #audio and #music production software (aka DAW) called Maolan. It supports #FreeBSD and #Linux, with experimental support for #Mac and #Windows. I am currently working on support for #NetBSD and #OpenBSD. When I get it to work on all the mentioned OSes at least in virtual machine, #Solaris is next. Once the core architecture is in place, contributions will be more than welcome. Stay tuned.
Are any of my OpenBSD followers interested in bringing diff3 improvements from FreeBSD over?

I have a few folks in NetBSD-land who are interested in hearing about changes like this, but not OpenBSD.
Got to put some time aside for setting this up https://github.com/webzfs/webzfs #FreeBSD #zfs in my #homelab
@frameworkcomputer Most of the work to support this is now in FreeBSD src and in drm-kmod. There is one outstanding issue, filed in https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues/408
I've been trying to find more cool small businesses to support through my silly little ads (because Amazon sucks). So if there are any independent companies/businesses/people you like that make especially neat things, please let me know so I can reach out to them.

Is anyone running minikube on #FreeBSD? If yes, can you share your notes/tips/docs, please? Thank you!
The FreeBSD stand at #Fosdem2026 will be in building H.
The table will be shared with our friends #FreeBSD Foundation, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD and #illumos.
