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.

I'm devastated! I made github.com/maolan/maolan work on and in about 2.5 months, but I can't make it work on 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!

As long as I needed to support Al other operating systems in mailman I need just for windows. And it still doesn't work. I hate COM objects!

If you are a #freebsd user who has been wanting to try #ollama, I have opened a PR open to add support for the platform

github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/

Can somebody help me with running in 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 \

I tried to support 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.

github.com/maolan/maolan is feature complete, now I'm working on bugs that appear on . Once that's done, is next, then and then other BSDs and Illumos. I can't want to release version 0.0.1 😃

Quote in September last year for a high-memory compute server. £28,000.

Quote today for the _exact same machine_. £90,500

This is for medical research. Saving lives. When I say LLMs are killing people by killing research computing, this is what I mean.

I started working on my implementation of and production software (aka DAW) called Maolan. It supports and , with experimental support for and . I am currently working on support for and . When I get it to work on all the mentioned OSes at least in virtual machine, 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?

lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev

I have a few folks in NetBSD-land who are interested in hearing about changes like this, but not OpenBSD.

Wait what, you can't use a *code* editor when you're under 18 now? 🤔

@frameworkcomputer Most of the work to support this is now in FreeBSD src and in drm-kmod. There is one outstanding issue, filed in github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/is

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.

The FreeBSD stand at #Fosdem2026 will be in building H.
The table will be shared with our friends #FreeBSD Foundation, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD and #illumos.

By far the biggest success this year is that I survived! Serbia fell into hard dictatorship, which pushed me into a panic attack. Twice since August! The situation here is just like 1990: the war didn't yet start, but you can hear it 'round the corner. Happy New Year to all and hang on!
