The #BoxyBSD project is taking a pause from provisioning completely free #vps instances / #vserver. For further questions, reach out to @gyptazy or in our Matrix chat.
After publishing the new self-service portal and making it easier to use and get a free VPS instance, we got a lot more new users who requested an instance than usual. We’re not out of resources but we want to provide a great and reliable service and have a buffer for upcoming things.
We’re already restocking the resources and adding new nodes to the project but temporary stop provisioning new instances. In the meantime, we will provide new services that will make the overall experience for users much better and easier.
We already started this with the new #NAT64 gateways and the new free #loadbalancing service that allows you to serve your website also on #IPv4, even your box is #IPv6 only.
We’re addicted to the #BSD community and hope to provide your quickly more #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD and all the other bsd based systems again. In the meantime - have fun and #RUNBSD

No matter what language you want to use to program your Gtk app, read the Python tutorial to get started, even if you are not going to write your app in Python.
So far it has been the most comprehensive and well-written tutorials I have ever seen for Gtk, and explains important concepts even better than the official documentation does. What applies to Gtk programming Python applies to most any other programming language as well, especially scripting languages, so what you learn from this tutorial will apply to your use case as well.
Gtk is a cross-platform GUI toolkit that serves as infrastructure for Linux/BSDUnix desktop environments like Gnome, Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce. Gtk apps can build and run on Mac OS and Windows without too much difficulty. Though Gtk is written in C it supports very a wide range of programming languages for application programming such as Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Lua, most of Lisp the Lisp family, Java, Vala, C#, even C++ if you are a masochist. Because of this, it never occurred to me that if I wanted to learn more about Gtk programming, I should read a tutorial for one specific language (Python). Now that I have read it, I wish I had known this sooner, so I am telling everyone here on the fediverse.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, you can download the entire tutorial locally as HTML, PDF, or EPUB so that you can hack offline as well!

We just added a free #loadbalancing service to #BoxyBSD!
This new feature got added by @gyptazy in addition to the newly introduced #NAT64 gateways to make your life easier and is currently tested with a few users! This provides you the ability to make your website also reachable by #IPv4 even your box is only running on #IPv6. This feature can be managed from your self-service portal and simply requires you to add a DNS name that should be balanced and to point the DNS A record to a given IPv4.
Making the legacy internet life easier, we hope for a higher #BSD adaption where people might be more motivated to try #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #opensolaris with #illumos.

I got asked if I could create a #howto for creating a (public) #NAT64 service - just like I did recently for #BoxyBSD. With #DNS64 and #NAT64 you can also reach resource in the legacy internet (#IPv4) on #IPv6 only systems.
While this is based on #unbound and #tayga, there’s also a solution by using the #OpenBSD's native way which is also running on the other gateway. I’ll share a second how to how to do this in OpenBSD and pf.

A fascinating read, this page.
What jumps out is
I solve problems — I don’t sell boxes.
This is similar to my philosophy. Which is work without tying yourself to a hard- or software platform. Fix the clients problem without tying him to a OS or hardware platform also.
I just jumped from a mobile OS to this miniPC. The big difference is that I have a real and fantastic full-size keyboard. The transition is smooth and gorgeous
Everyone can sell boxes, few bring solutions which dont need constant interference and maintanance after.

2025 is starting great - and I took all opportunities!
Like probably all personal playgrounds, I started small with many technically working but not ideal solutions. Ignoring several RFC's, standards etc,.
This also applies to my @BoxyBSD project that provides free VPS (#BSD focussed, such like #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD but also #illumos / #opensolaris etc.,) boxes for the #opensource community and beginners to provide them a place for learning and education.
I decreased (yeah decreased) the amount of overall systems. Instead, we now have bigger sized systems which makes the overall management easier and also improved the whole networking stack. Also some other benefits came along with this ;) I'm really happy to see what 2025 brings up - and there're several great things to be announced soon :)

All right, here is an interesting issue...
Running #OpenBSD on #Slackware 15 using qemu 9.0.3 - the existing VM (OpenBSD 7.3, updated all the way to 7.6) works without a hitch.
When I try to install OpenBSD 7.6 'from scratch' the installation procedure completes but the new VM crashes with a very cryptic:
Booting from Hard Disk...
Using drive 0, partition 3.
Loading......
ERR M
And that's it. No ddb, no error message, nothing.
Help me Mastodon, you are my only hope! 
The 
#OpenBSD VPS at @OpenBSDAms tour is also available on #PeerTube; because the Fediverse deserves more #RunBSD content 😀
Personally, #openbsd because the documentation is just excellent. Read the man pages and you are good to go.

Has anyone used one of those biometric USB drives as a keydisk for full disk encryption with #OpenBSD? Experiences?
「… alternatively, the FreeBSD project gets a subproject going which brings in the WiFi drivers from OpenBSD twice a year or something.」
Smart thinking. +100 to reuse of code, collaboration, and the like.
You're not the first person to ask about OpenBSD. The brief answer, from <https://wiki.freebsd.org/WiFi/Iwlwifi#openbsd>:
「There were other people looking into this.
When I started there was limited support for various chipsets already supported by iwlwifi, … mangled so that comparing to the original code was no longer possible in an automated way … goals listed above … another driver to change and support (in addition to iwm).」

And here is something even weirder: once installed, OpenBSD 7.6 crashes immediately with just "ERR M" being displayed, no matter what CPU option I select.
No #OpenBSD for me on this machine! ☹️
Installing an OpenBSD VM under qemu, I stumbled upon an interesting issue:
With '-cpu host' I get an instant kernel panic when trying to install. Is it because AMD Ryzen 5 4600H is not supported under #OpenBSD 7.6?
Remove the '-cpu host', OpenBSD 7.6 installs without any issue (that I can see so far).
And now, of course, I want to install an #OpenBSD and a #Slackware VM... I have the ISOs, I have the horsepower and now the battery situation is back to normal... 😏 🔋

Finally somewhere external to home where I can do some ipv6 connectivity testing. `ping6 -D` to any interface on the #OpenBSD router doing 6rd with `-s 1432`, but pinging a _host_ inside the network I have to use `-s 1232` and bigger packets (even without -D) just seem to disappear. 
Woooow! At @BoxyBSD we provisioned our 500th free VPS instance this weekend. Providing you guys free VPS instances with your favorite BSD based system of choice - #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD and also other ones or even #Illumos for our #Solars friends and somehow I'm a little bit proud!
Happy to see that this project provides a huge value to the #opensource community, users, projects and especially for #BSD projects. #RUNBSD with #BoxyBSD!
**BSD Mail Project Update!**
Hello everyone! I wanted to share some exciting updates about the development of BSD Mail, our privacy-focused email service designed with robustness, security, and transparency in mind. Here’s a deep dive into the technical choices I've made, focusing on my use of open source solutions and open protocols:
🌍 **Servers & Location**
- We're running on two physical servers:
- One hosted by OVH in France
- Another by Hetzner in Germany
- Both servers operate on FreeBSD with NVMe drives in a ZFS mirror configuration for speed and data integrity.
🔒 **Virtualization & Security**
- We utilize jails on both servers to ensure isolated environments for different services, managed via BastilleBSD. On one server, jails are set up directly on the hardware, whereas the other server employs nested jails.
- Each server hosts a bhyve VM running OpenBSD with OpenSMTPD for handling SMTP duties securely.
🔗 **Networking**
- A Wireguard setup connects the two servers, facilitating routing capabilities so that jails and VMs can communicate seamlessly, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.
📧 **Email Services**
- **Dovecot** is configured for maildir replication across the servers using Dovecot sync, ensuring email availability and redundancy.
- **Rspamd** instances are tied to local KeyDB jails, set up in master-master replication for consistent and reliable spam detection and greylisting.
- **ClamAV** runs in corresponding jails for virus scanning, maintaining a high level of security.
- **SOGo** provides a web interface for email management, connected to MySQL databases in master-master replication to handle sessions and authentication smoothly.
💾 **Data Management**
- Email data is stored on separate, encrypted ZFS datasets to secure emails at rest.
- MySQL databases are used for storing credentials and managing sessions for SOGo, also in a master-master replication setup. Importantly, all passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt, ensuring they are salted and safe.
🔎 **Monitoring & Reliability**
- Our DNS is managed through BunnyNet, which continuously monitors our server status. Should one server—or a specific service—become unavailable, DNS configurations are dynamically adjusted to avoid directing users to the affected IP until full service is restored.
🌐 **Commitment to Open Source and Open Protocols**
- Every component of BSD Mail is built exclusively using open source software and open protocols. This commitment is crucial for ensuring data freedom and the reliability of the solutions we use.
This setup not only emphasizes our commitment to privacy and security but also our dedication to maintaining an open and transparent platform.
We're excited to bring you a service where your privacy, data integrity, and freedom are prioritized. Stay tuned for more updates!
