Here’s a moment from Day 1 at SCALE 23x yesterday.

We asked attendees what they like about FreeBSD, and this student highlighted something many users appreciate: the documentation and the Ports collection. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/

What was the first thing that stood out to you when you started using FreeBSD?

Still looking for an invite code for #BoxyBSD for free VPS instances?

You can grab an invite for the @BoxyBSD project at the #FOSDEM - just watch out for @gyptazy - you can't really miss him!

Make sure to visit the #BSDDevroom managed by @fosdembsd!

Am I the only one who feels #BSD community is more united and better formed than #Linux community? Linux seems so divided in the fractions. Or maybe it's because Linux community is bigger and therefore it's possible to have tribes there?

When I founded BSD Cafe, I did it because I knew the community around BSD is amazing. More like a family than just a community. And every day I get confirmation of that.

I can finally, officially confirm that the talk "Why Choose to Use the BSDs in 2025" has been accepted and is scheduled for the next OSDay 2025, which will take place on 21/03/2025 in Florence, Italy.

There was a vote on GitHub, and this talk, by a narrow margin, received the most votes overall. Another testament to how the BSD family moves as one.

It is an honor to receive all these votes and to present, in a brief 25-minute talk + 5 minutes for questions, our beloved BSDs. I will try my best not to disappoint you, but for now, let me say a huge: THANK YOU!

  Oh, @BoxyBSD has a self-service portal now!

I just wrote a ssh alike service where BoxyBSD users can connect to and manage their own #BSD based VMs, hosted on my BoxyBSD platform. You can now also reset you VM or connect to the console.

Currently, I do not have that much time to provide support for my BoxyBSD project and as a result I created this self-service tool. Hope it helps even it's still far from being perfect.

Talking about new images at #BoxyBSD for your free VPS instances, we now also have #MidnightBSD 3.2 in place!

Thanks to @gyptazy putting all the efforts into this project! Also thanks to @nerdscavehosting for providing additional nodes to this project!
