#wine on #freebsd working better. I discovered there are patches done to the game from a launcher make it run out of memory or just use the 2GB addressing in RAM.

I tested it with the same game but connecting to another server which doesn't do it this way and it worked perfectly well... For hours.. so it's specifically that launcher and what it does that's broken. Phew.

In one month (2025-09-25), there will be a "Network management with the OpenBSD Packet Filter Toolset" tutorial events.eurobsdcon.org/2025/tal at #eurobsdcon in #zagreb To register: 2025.eurobsdcon.org/registrati #openbsd #freebsd #networking #security #unixlike

events.eurobsdcon.orgNetwork Management with the OpenBSD Packet Filter Toolset (T5) EuroBSDCon 2025The OpenBSD Packet Filter (PF) is at the core of the network management toolset available to professionals working with the OpenBSD and FreeBSD operating systems. Understanding the PF subsystem and the set of networking tools that interact with it is essential to building and maintaining a functional environment. The present session will both teach networking and security principles and provide opportunity for hands-on operation of the extensive network tools available on OpenBSD and FreeBSD in a lab environment. Basic to intermediate understanding of TCP/IP networking is expected and required for this session. Topics covered include The basics of and network design and taking it a bit further Building rulesets Keeping your configurations readable and maintainable Seeing what your traffic is really about with your friend tcpdump(8) Filtering, diversion, redirection, Network Address Translation Handling services that require proxying (ftp-proxy and others) Address tables and daemons that interact with your setup through them The whys and hows of network segmentation, DMZs and other separation techniques Tackling noisy attacks and other pattern recognition and learning tricks Annoying spammers with spamd Basics of and not-so basic traffic shaping Monitoring your traffic Resilience, High Availability with CARP and pfsync Troubleshooting: Discovering and correcting errors and faults (tcpdump is your friend) Your network and its interactions with the Internet at large Common mistakes in internetworking and peering Keeping the old IPv4 world in touch with the new of IPv6 The tutorial is lab centered and fast paced. Time allowing and to the extent necessary, we will cover recent developments in the networking tools and variations between the implementations in the OpenBSD and FreeBSD operating systems. Participants should bring a laptop for the hands on labs part and for note taking. The format of the session will be compact lectures interspersed with hands-on lab excercises based directly on the theory covered in the lecture parts. This session is an evolutionary successor to previous sessions. Slides for the most recent version of the PF tutorial session are up at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/pf_fullday.pdf, to be updated with the present version when the session opens.

Did some more tests with #FreeBSD 14.3 #wifi. On my Intel 8265 chip, iwlwifi(4) gave me 3-4 Mbps (while reporting 802.11ac) but iwm(4) reports 802.11a and gets an average of 18.3 Mbps.

What gives?!? 🤷‍♂️

This release of ffmpeg is the largest release to date.

Just reading over the features, all the new native decoders, a lot of work has been done. It is so much you just have to take the time to read it yourself

In case you did not know yet

Netflix uses freeBSD to stream their video data globally with ffmpeg as their master orchestrator

Hey #FreeBSD gamers! Trying to use #wine (-devel, 10.13) on 14.3-Release but it seems to not support my Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2) after installing with winetricks dxvk

Any ideas? Am I stuck on Mesa (GL) only?

Yes!! Success! 🥳

Magaged to get fully-automated deployment of FreeBSD VMs on Proxmox VE with cloud-init and static-ip configuration working after quite some troubleshooting.

- hostname, network config, ssh key, local user is all passed to the VM via cloud-init.

- Entire deployment of a FreeBSD VM takes less than 2 minutes until I can SSH in 🙂

I feel like there’s probably a similar command to sysrc in Linux, but I’ve never heard or used it since I’ve been a Linux user. The ability to just modify the correct variable from a single command is one thing I immediately enjoy about #FreeBSD.

In #FreeBSD you can modularize your config with separate files in /etc/rc.conf.d/ except... for networking? The ifconfig / dhclient settings don't work unless they're in the regular /etc/rc.conf

I need to file a bug about this I guess

as always, highly depends on your personal needs. I'm a huge Proxmox fan, but there're of course several different cool solutions. Next to #Proxmox, I also often use #incus [0] in personal labs but I'm also a huge fan of #XCPng with #Orechstra. #SuseHarvester 's [2] approach is also a great solution (similar to #Platform9) if you want to go into the modern world (in the end, they're also using KVM). If it's just single node, I really would also consider #bhyve on #FreeBSD (maybe even via #ClonOS / #cbsd).
