Are you a Linux user wondering about why someone might choose BSD?
Give this a read: https://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/01
Ask questions, get answers. Or maybe trolled. Anyone go to AsiaBSDCon this year?

PDFs are up!
i was thinking going to bsdcan, as it's about 15-30 minutes away from my house
then i saw the price
>>53472811
It's only $60 for students?
Another autism thread?
Install w10 fags
>>53472857
yeah, problem is im no student
and i doubt the parking price is included
>>53472933
Another NSA shill in a thread?
I'll install whatever the fuck I want.
Update on vmm/vmd the virtual machine manager in development OpenBSD

I love the idea of being able to sandbox applications and pass my configuration files to the VMs.
>>53473963
That sounds like jails. Can this virtualize just part of the OS like with jails or does it have to virtualize the entire OS?
>>53474427
This virtualizes the entire operating system, probably.
I would say that's the more secure solution, as all jails in FreeBSD share the same kernel.
>>53474427
>>53474517
You'll also be able to run more than just OpenBSD on them too, eventually.
>>53474517
Yeah that makes sense considering OpenBSD's focus on security. Jails are neat though, they use very little resources outside of disk space and the memory the applications themselves use.
>>53474517
>the more secure solution
wasn't openbsd's position that vms are shit for security?
>>53475458
Well as you can see it was implemented because people wouldn't stop asking them every minute.
And because of a dare.
I didn't say it was secure, I said more secure than jails.
>>53475458
Theo is allowing it as a non-default option.
So people who want it can get it, but its bugs don't screw over everyone else.
I miss lsblk and blkid. They are so magic.
Can someone explain to me how to find the uuid, filesystem, and size of all available drives in freebsd and openbsd? regardless of gpart/mbr/no partitions
>>53477237
>blkid
this should come with e2fsprogs
>lsblk
camcontrol devlist
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=camcontrol&sektion=8
>>53477342
>camcontrol devlist
my mind is blown. thanks anon.
unwilling to install e2fsprogs on prod machines. I'll stick to picking through dmesg/fdisk/gpart for now for filesystem info.
>>53477342
>>53477442
Doesn't e2fs hint at the fact it wouldn't even work since FreeBSD doesn't use ext partitions?
>>53477873
you could still encounter such partitions. as for e2fsprogs not building, it works on my machineā¢
>>53474532
They need to test this with TempleOS.
