Spent quite some hours with FreeBSD networking on my Home-Server, but now it all works!!! 🥳

- 6 Intel NICs (Some with tagged, some untagged networks)

- Bridges and virtual switches for Behyve VMs and Jails

- Trunk-Port to my Aruba AP with all VLANs for different SSIDs

- Full IPv6 support on all networks

- Firewall (via pf) and NAT for Legacy-IP

- PCI Passthrough of one NIC to a Behyve VM (with IOMMU/vt-d)

FreeBSD is just a network beast 🙂

Repurposed a ThinkCentre M720q Tiny as a FreeBSD desktop running Openbox window manager.

These sturdy little boxes are so nice to work on. Unfasten a single screw to slide back the cover, then 2 slots for RAM (2x16GB), 1 TB NVMe, and space to add another 2.5" drive if desired. Ports for ethernet, audio, USB2/3/C, Displayport, HDMI.

@stfn has one and even added a dedicated GPU:

ROXTerm is proving to be a good terminal emulator for Openbox. I'm using it with the Nord colour scheme and the Hack font.

There's a really nice documentary about Python  that has been released yesterday. Worth checking out, I found it very interesting:

Time to tackle the re-certification for the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam.

Spun up a virtual lab environment with an Ansible contol node plus 5 managed nodes to practice with.

All easily done on Proxmox VE, that is running on a server in the @hetzner datacenter.

And the best part: VM snapshots makes it easy to roll back to the original state, whenever it's needed 🙂

Now let's automate and practice 🤓

FreeBSD   can game as well :-) Baldurs Gate, one of *the* best RPG games, ever made.

Here the enhanced edition for Windows, perfectly running on FreeBSD 14.3 via Wine

The EE is currently on sale for just 8 EUR on gog.com. Of course entirely DRM free 🙂

Yay, KDE Plasma  version 6.4 did already land in Fedora 42 KDE Edition   

What an amazing and well polished release. Not a revolution, but great stability as well as solid quality-of-life improvements.

Thank you @kde
