getting feet wet with FreeBSD; pronoun "he"
Happy to share that #BoxyBSD remains up!

Recently I got asked about my @[email protected] project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve.

But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @[email protected]) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation.

Hope you like this small update... Over & out!

@kdedude thank you for the blogpost about recovering from a botched update (https://euroquis.nl/freebsd/2025/12/09/freebsd-upgrade.html)
I suspect that there are two typos in Craig's steps: shouldn't the commands be /rescue/fetch and rescue/tar instead of /release... ?
Recovering a Botched FreeBSD 14 Upgrade

Naรฏvely, I ran freebsd-update -r 15.0-STABLE install in my regular FreeBSD desktop. That was a mistake.

@justine @dvl we usually have great success with grissini (Italian breadsticks)
@gyptazy ah, now everything is clear ๐Ÿ‘
I had never seen that possibility. That's really nice ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
@gyptazy ah, so I misunderstood your blog post. I tried to search in the server UI ๐Ÿค”
But I still don't understand how to use this csv-file for "one click"
@gyptazy You wrote about the BSD Follower Pack. What search term should I use to get it?
