Ciao @stefano! There where a lot of discussions about S3 storage solutions for FreeBSD. @dexter mentioned that you choose SeaweedFS for „reasons“. Can you tell a little bit about it and why not Garage or MinIO?

#Sylve is a modern VM & Jail Manager for #FreeBSD with a sleek Web UI.

Here’s how to run Windows 10 on Sylve step by step:

Thanks for the feedback!
Here comes the FreeBSD edition of this how-to. Make sure you have a GPU installed and configured, otherwise it will be just SLOOOOOOOWWWWW

Local RAG with Chatbot and FreeBSD Knowledge FreeBSD Edition

Local RAG with Chatbot and FreeBSD Knowledge FreeBSD Edition If you want to try it on MacOS you can use this tutorial https://hackacad.net/post/2025-07-12-local-chatbot-rag-with-freebsd-knowledge/ Out of multiple conversations with people at BSD conferences, I noticed that many would love to see a chatbot that provides precise information on FreeBSD—for users, admins, and developers. I strongly believe that there should not be an official chat.freebsd.org. Local chatbots work well and can be tweaked to fit personal needs.

At FreeBSD Hackathon Berlin we discussed chatbots that actually know FreeBSD. I put together a small RAG demo that uses the latest FreeBSD docs including things latest stuff like pkgbase. https://hackacad.net/post/2025-07-12-local-chatbot-rag-with-freebsd-knowledge/ based on @ollama @openwebui #FreeBSD

Today my NVIDIA GPU died suddenly—overheated in seconds, burned the wires. No warning, just smoke. Thankfully, my fire alarm and @pushover critical alerts worked as expected 🙏

Received the new #ComputeBlade by
@merocle two days ago. FreeBSD is now up and running – thanks to some BSD & EFI magic.
Now I can finally run automated tests for FreeBSD ports on #onARM with a scalable #RaspberryPi cluster.
How-to coming soon🚀 #FreeBSD #Homelab
