Stefano Marinelli<p>I've never hidden my admiration for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>illumos</span></a>-based systems. I have a few setups based on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OmniOS</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmartOS</span></a>, and they're solid as a rock. I like them both: OmniOS is more "malleable", while SmartOS is more of a hypervisor like <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xcp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xcp</span></a>-ng or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xen</span></a> - meaning you install it on the host and delegate everything else to the zones.</p><p>I also love <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> jails, but zones sometimes cover use cases that jails can't (and vice versa). For example, imposing RAM limits in jails works, but it effectively "denies more ram" to a process when it requests more memory. The end user doesn't see this directly. On illumos, the user sees everything. I have some `lx` zones with Debian and Virtualmin, and users have never noticed that they aren't really on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>. A free or top will show only the assigned RAM.</p><p>And that's one of the biggest problems with open-source operating systems: they all have something good, and I always feel the urge to use them all! 🙂</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a></p>
Stefano Marinelli<p>Doing something crazy before going out - and it works.

Vidar Karlsen<p>TIL that the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> syslogd expects incoming log messages to come from source port 514:<br>validate: dgram from IP 10.0.0.2, port 42461.; rejected in rule 1 due to port mismatch.</p><p>The <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Illumos</span></a> syslogd isn't so bothered with which source port it sends from.</p><p>The fix, make it accept any and all src ports:<br>syslogd_flags="-a 10.0.0.2/32:* -vv"</p>

BSD Cafe Announcements<p>Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,</p><p>This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago.

When I complain that some software (or its dependencies) doesn't work on *BSD but requires Linux, I'm not criticizing Linux. For me, it's not an OS battle, but a matter of freedom and avoiding a dangerous and rampant computing monoculture. And when people reply to me with "well, just use it on Linux" - while they're giving me sensible advice - they're missing the crucial point: if it ONLY runs on Linux, it's not Linux's fault, but we are, precisely, creating a dangerous monoculture.
