I'm here upgrading several FreeBSD VPS instances and it's
# freebsd-update fetch # prepare to get up to date on current version
# freebsd-update install # get up to date on current version
# freebsd-update upgrade -r $VERSION # fetch new version
# freebsd-update install # install new version
# shutdown -r now
# freebsd-update install # install userland
# pkg update && pkg upgrade -f # upgrade packages
# freebsd-update install # why not?
# shutdown -r now # another reboot
Because of the full-disk encryption, I need to do this from the VPS control-panel VNC connection.
It makes me appreciate my OpenBSD upgrades where it's a straightforward
# sysupgrade
(it auto-reboots, installs, auto-reboots into the new system)
# pkg_add -u
# sysmerge
and done.

Linux Desktop Disappointment and Windows
Why is switching from Windows to Linux Desktop so hard?
I have been always using Microsoft Windows as my Desktop OS, and I would consider myself a super user since my apprenticeship as a system administrator.
I have always tried stuff with Linux and raspberry pi, started digging into Linux after my apprenticeship. Mostly server stuff.
The last two years I got into FreeBSD, running on servers.
So I thought to myself, why not switching to a Linux desktop (FreeBSD desktop would have been a little bit too hard I thought).
The decision was motivated mostly because of the cloud and AI stuff Microsoft is pushing everything into.
I prepared everything, moved personal files from my PC to my small FreeBSD server on a Samba share.
Exported the most relevant files etc, almost like deleting everything.
But I went with dual boot, Linux Mint Xfce on a secondary drive.
Installation went smooth, then I encountered the first disappointment: Nextcloud Desktop (self hosted, stores files I need on PC, Laptop, Phone as well as contacts and calender) does not support cloud files. So I had to pick what I wanted to sync.
Whatever.
Second small Issue, there is no YubiKey Manager for Linux (as far as I have been looking).
Fortunately YubiKey Authenticator works.
I continued my journey switching to software I have not used before.
This evening I wanted to do something that would have taken me 20 Minutes on my old setup. I have not been able to complete it after a few hours.
The issue is:
OpenVPN Setup only connects using the console, not via network manager, so good so far.
The RDP File won't work with remmina RDP client because some sort of authentication via remote Gateway which works on Windows out of the box.
I couldn't figure out why.
Now I am disappointed.
This should be easier for someone like me, with technical knowledge and error solving soft skills.
I will probably need to go back to Windows, because I am used to it and also because of solutions someone in corporate IT is building, that only support Windows.
Two things probably would have required me to use Windows nevertheless:
- gaming, which I am not doing often
- adobe Lightroom, because it is just so easy to use.
Sorry to disappoint y'all. I don't like it either.
Have a good night.

Daughter just came home to tell me the teachers at school tried to confiscate her vape but they couldn't because it's actually a kazoo.
"I made a kazoo noise at them and I could see them dying on the inside so I made a sad kazoo noise instead. I don't think it helped."
The grin on her face.

트럼프 대통령은 기관투자자의 단독주택 매입 제한, 방산업체 보수 및 배당 제한, 베네수엘라 원유 수익 통제 등 대규모 국가 개입 조치를 발표했다. 이는 공화당의 자유방임 기조에서 벗어나 민간 경제 활동을 직접 통제하려는 의지로 해석된다. 이러한 조치들은 시장의 자율성을 제한하고, 대통령 행정권이 경제를 통제하는 독재적 성향을 보인다는 비판을 받고 있다.

You know how everyone has posted photos of themselves for years, and their children, and people around them?
Stop normalizing this.
Respect privacy: don't post photos of others or snitch tag them.
Don't put photos of kids online.
The toothpaste may be out of the tube for you but don't model bad behaviour, do model and reinforce good behaviour, protect kids and do better.

So yeah. Not a coincidence at this point: #FreeBSD 15 is not booting in UEFI mode on relatively-recent HPE Intel and EPYC systems. 14.x was fine and is literally on-disk. Anyone seen this? My last search for a PR didn’t come up with anything.

‘Donald #Trump has said ‘I don’t need international law” and that his power is limited only by his “own morality”.
In a new interview with the New York Times, Trump said the only constraint to his power as president of the US is “my own morality, my own mind”.’
Is this Trump’s admission of being an autocratic dictator? Because it’s not just a rejection of international law, he rejects any democratic checks and balances by stating he’s only beholden to his own morality

What do I do with these aspirational RockPro64, BananaPi, EspressoBin, and Netgate ARM boards if I want to run FreeBSD?
There is an official RockPro64 image but video does not appear to be supported. It has a serial console, but mind-numbingly it could not boot while a serial adapter is attached. I have the adapter but prefer simple use the onboard HDMI.
Is anyone having luck with these boards?
Need ‘em?
