• I've never used FreeBSD and have some questions

  Aside from being UNIX based, what similarities does it share with Linux? Both have monolithic kernels. Source based build systems are offered (ports, which are like the portage system on Gentoo) as well as binary build systems (pkg, which is like apt, yum, pacman, etc.) Both offer a lot of free software, though more licenses are compatible with FreeBSD like CDDL, which is not compatible Linux. Both let you... Source: 5 months ago

• FreeBSD turns 30 today!

  There's no mention of a birthday on their site, and its footer says 1995-2023. That must be just the site, because Wikipedia tells me FreeBSD's initial release was indeed, but not quite, 30 years ago, November 1st 1993. Still no birthday. Source: 11 months ago

• Computer

  I'm not the right person to ask this -- I just run it on whatever I happen to have. But I think sleep and wifi (for example) have issues with different hardware, so you'd have to do your homework. The FreeBSD handbook on freebsd.org is always very helpful to me. You can try it out with a live cd / thumbdrive to see how much supported hardware you've got. My Lenovo X1 from a couple years ago works for what I... Source: 11 months ago

• Can SGI’s Enthusiast Community Bring IRIX Back to Life?

  People are still actively working on Illumos. The last change was yesterday morning. * https://illumos.org People are still actively working on MirBSD. There's a CVS commit account that can be followed on the FediVerse. * http://www.mirbsd.org It's DragonFly BSD, not Dragon BSD, and the irony of that is that you missed FreeBSD, which is of course still going. * https://dragonflybsd.org * https://freebsd.org As... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• X220 and beer. A lovely combo, especially with FreeBSD.

  A open source free and stable Unix-like operating system. Read more at http://freebsd.org. Source: 12 months ago

• No more raises without certs huh?..

  Another one I'll mention, as it might be rather to quite easy - depending upon one's IPv6 knowledge/experience - and it's also free. It's slightly dated (some bits have changed since it was created, but it's mostly still highly applicable). Anyway, Hurricane Electric's IPv6 Certification - can even get oneself spiffy "badge"s - like I've got one of those (details & score style) (also available in different... Source: 8 months ago

• Sharing he.net /48 IPv6 subnets with other routers/hosts

  The other comment with the answer disappeared, but it was to create a static route for the /64 on PFSENSE1 to the WAN IPV6 of the PFSENSE2. This allows that WAN to pass the traffic through the he.net IPV6 tunnel. Source: 11 months ago

• Sharing he.net /48 IPv6 subnets with other routers/hosts

  I have been using he.net's tunnelbroker service for sometime. I am familiar with it and it works well. Source: 11 months ago

• Strange interaction between IPV6, Netflix, YouTube and HBO Max.

  Likely due to too much abuse from the free he.net tunnels. They have no way to differentiate between your tunnel used for legitimate purposes, and a tunnel created solely for malicious purposes. This sort of problem occurs with any shared resources especially free ones, you get the same problem using free VPNs or TOR etc. Source: 11 months ago
