inotify in FreeBSD, how changes to poudriere.conf affect the build time, Migrating mail servers from exim to OpenSMTPD, and more…

New on the blog: FreeBSD Foundationals #3: The Boot Process

From power-on to login: BIOS vs UEFI, the loader & loader.conf, why a tunable is NOT a sysctl, loading modules the modern way with kld_list, wrangling it all with sysrc, plus a security-hardening baseline.

And the headline act: boot environments. `bectl create` before every upgrade. When freebsd-update or pkg eats your box, you reboot, pick the old BE in the loader menu, and you're back in 30 seconds.

¿Sabías que el internet moderno y macOS nacieron en una universidad? En los 70, la UC Berkeley recibió el código de Unix y sus estudiantes lo mejoraron de forma brillante. Crearon el editor vi, el código de red TCP/IP y el legendario sistema BSD. Un proyecto estudiantil que se convirtió en la columna vertebral de la tecnología actual. 🐧💻

Cuando Steve Jobs fue despedido de Apple, fundó NeXT y creó un sistema operativo basado en BSD. Al regresar en 1997, Apple compró NeXT y usó esa potente base Unix para salvar a la compañía y dar vida a Mac OS X (hoy macOS). Así es como el software libre y académico de Berkeley se convirtió en el motor ultraestable de todas las Mac y iPhones actuales. 🍏💻

Linux y BSD comparten comandos porque ambos son "hijos" conceptuales de Unix. Mientras BSD nació del código original de AT&T en Berkeley, Linux fue creado desde cero por Linus Torvalds para imitar cómo funcionaba Unix. Al adoptar los mismos estándares de diseño (POSIX) y usar las herramientas abiertas de GNU, ambos sistemas terminaron compartiendo la misma estructura, filosofía y comandos. 🐧😈

FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.

Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.

Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhere

Today’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996.

@greg I'm genuinely sorry that we can't please everyone.

I rarely look back at historic shots of the front page, today I found one from February 2026, maybe the last Wayback Machine capture before new Reddit became more AI-scrape-resistant:

Hi Friends!

296 votes, it rose to 302. A photograph of the Linux mascot was amongst FreeBSD's top thirty posts of all time.

Valkey и Redis: два года спустя — за кем будущее?

В марте 2024 года Redis сменил лицензию и, тем самым, положил начало развитию Valkey. Два года Valkey активно развивался: набирал количество контрибьютеров, коммитов, был встроен в многие проекты — в общем, показал себя на практике. Пришло время подвести итоги и понять: есть ли в этом сравнении победитель. В статье разберем обе технологии. Будет немного про историю развития и хронологические предпосылки, разбор ключевых фич и почти детективное расследование о жизни двух хранилищ. Также, покажем за кем будущее (по нашему мнению) и зачем мы контрибьютим в одно из них.

How is #bsd fairing against #aislop?

Q: Is there a Tech youtuber you watch puerly for entertainment?

A: Yep, I find Tony's stuff hilarious and some people sure can learn a thing or 5 from it.

Also the super tongue in cheek klickbait titles of the videos crack me up but sadly a lot of not so smart people (mostly in the comments) don't get the joke.

One would have to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hPPTnYtAwU
