RFC: what are the highlights of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE?
＂In the 15.0-RELEASE announcement email, I list a few highlights. Obviously pkgbase is going to be one of them, but I'm looking for a list of 5 or 6 items, and I don't know what you as users care about the most.
＂So… can you help out your release engineer and tell me what you personally thing is the most exciting change in 15.0?＂
― Colin Percival at <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1pa8ait/what_are_the_highlights_of_150release/>
(The announcement is scheduled for Tuesday 2nd December – <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/>.)

FreeBSD 2025 Q3 Status Report
I’m so stucked… Black Friday reactivated the “store everything on a NAS” project in my poor brain. As the goal is quite simple : reduce to the minimum the use (and the costs) of our family iCloud plan, you would expect the solution is simple (of course not…). But should also be added to the equation the need to secure data already on external usb disks. (And aging). So, the quest for the right choice begins with a Nas appliance. Syno? No thanks, solid software, old hardware and discutable moves to lock everyone to use their parts catalog. So… considered ugreen Nas such as dxp2800 (two disks, not very upgradable so use huge capacity for a start). Dxp4800 four bays so it is possible to gradually extend the pool in the future. Then there is also MiniPC with nvme slots such as beelink Me Mini. In all cases, storage will be ZFS and data should be encrypted (don’t want thieves to read my data). Software will likely be truenas. A bare FreeBSD would be great but I have no time or skills to build everything from scratch with the insurance that I don’t leave some door opened for exploits. Either ugreen and N100 based pc should be enough for immich and one or two lightweight containers/jails. Costs are also to be considered, as RAM and disks (and NVME) are becoming very pricey. I read some blogs articles from our barista and of course it was so very interesting to build a backup server, remote access in a diy manner, (the geek in me was very tempted, but the end-user in me having to ensure the data from everybody in the house is secured is worried) #homelab #NAS

Mastodon running on FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE in a Bastille jail. Running really smooth! Less problems than I had expected.
Next steps:
- Seperating into multiple jails (Nginx, Postgres+Valkey, Sidekiq, Puma and Streaming)
Then testing and planning the actual migration of my instance ofer to the new server 🙂

unless your job is being a product strategist, project manager, marketer, etc on Windows i guess.

My nightmares keep returning. They take my nights from me, and with them the strength I never manage to restore.
What stays is the fear they plant — a shadow that follows me into the morning, making me feel as if they’re warning me of something dark ahead, and then meets me again when night falls.
I’m afraid of surrendering to sleep — and of what may greet me when I wake, a fear that leaves a small, steady ache in my chest every day.
Me yesterday: This week I am finally going to do a cat picture to join in with Caturday.
Me today: Finally gets round to drawing a cat, and realises I've missed doing my usual Silent Sunday post.
I sense a theme.
Anyhow, better late than never and all that. CAT!
As with many other real-world distributions, the class of open problems in mathematics has a "long tail" - a large number of problems which would be relatively easy to prove or disprove, but which have not recieved significant attention from the (limited) number of expert mathematicians available. To switch metaphors, this tail can thus contain a large amount of "low-hanging fruit" of new mathematical results that could be obtained if there was some way to automatically attack these problems at scale.
I saw this first-hand when running the Equational Theories Project last year, in which 22 million implications in universal algebra were attacked (and ultimately resolved). Initial passes with low-tech automated methods resolved a large percentage of these implications within days, with increasingly sophisticated methods brought to bear to pick off the more stubborn holdouts that resisted earlier sweeps. The final few implications took months of human effort to settle: https://github.com/teorth/equational_theories/wiki/Terence-Tao's-personal-log

@mcc I feel like this is something that Hal Clement would have written but I was thinking of this which he did write, which goes the opposite direction.

@mcc sometimes i like to consider how—to beings from beyond the snow line—i am made of 70% lava
@aparrishallison if i understand right, if you're in deep space, ice should be one of the hardest substances around. as you approach absolute zero it has a hardness of 19, twice that of diamond. it would make absolute sense to use as a building material for spaceships or on deep space asteroids

@aparrishallison @mcc Hmm! So if we were to bleed onto such beings, it would be kind of like xenomorph acid blood?
