My MacBook NEVER has enough disk space. So it’s nice to work with remote datasets over S3 to save space… but except when the bucket is on the other side of the ocean and AWS won’t push bits to my house much faster than 100Mbps 😅
So I set up my own mini S3 on my homelab server!

Make your own Read-Only Device with NetBSD
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/09/10/make-your-own-readonly-device-with-netbsd/
done some "pkg_add -u" maintenance on Tianve, my OpenBSD 7.9 box.
All is up to date now and well. Thanks to all working on the BSDs for this smooth experience!
I've got nothing.
20 new VMs were added and 46 VMs were renewed.
We donated €890 to the #OpenBSD Foundation, €67645 (!!) since we started.
Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!
Stay cool, safe, healthy & sane!
#RUNBSD in 2026
https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@Tionisla/116760938030050558
Upgraded "Tionisla", my main Notebook, to FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p1.
All is well. Thanks a lot to all working on the BSDs for making this possible.
Great news! My presentation for #EuroBSDCon has been accepted!
Expect a mix of disasters, horror stories, recoveries, BSDs, and one very, very long day.
Stay tuned!

KaiXinqxl video driver issue with #FreeBSD #QEMU VM appeared more interesting than I thought: in another boot environment #BE where I installed #Xlibre instead of #Xorg, using #qxl driver and startx in a #TTY brought up a bare X session with a #Xterm. Quitting the xterm instance successfully terminated X session and brought back TTY session, while on #Xorg quitting the session resulted in a full black screen, no tty. Switching ttys from with QEMU's sendkey failed to get any tty bacl either. If a window manager like #CWM was launched by startx, however, both Xlibre and Xorg failed with a #SegmentFault error. 2/nxf86-video-qxl and use a #Xorg conf file like:qxl driver to scfb worked flawlessly though. Am I missing something? 1/n
