I'm running 10.11.5 in a FreeBSD Jail just fine. It can get kind of annoying in terms of having to have the files named in a specific way that's listed on the website for best use. And while it does have a setting in the manage libraries for real time monitoring, I tend to use the manual scan...

Hello, I haven't migrated to freebsd yet as I'm still waiting on my mother's job to update their computer systems (she's going to try to get me one.) Currently live in Washington state, USA. I first heard about freebsd back in the late 90's when a guy I knew in a somewhat small mountain town...

Just about anything of that vintage was never fun. There were some projects that you could do with them, but they're slow enough that it's a limited number of projects. I was using one for a while to run Pi-hole. With Linux, I never though about trying any *BSD on one of that vintage.

Sad but true. FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi is no fun. :'‑(

Hi all! I have an old raspberry pi modell B ( 2011.12 ) and wanted to see if I can install FreeBSD on it with a very lightweight GUI on it. I'm thinking of testing ICEwm. Anyone that has had any success withg that setup? Will it work? I'm not the best with FreeBSD but I manage to change the...

Hi everybody 👋 I'm just getting serious about switching to FreeBSD. :) It's funny, it doesn't feel like I chose it as much as my path led here. It just makes sense for me to move to FreeBSD. It's not my first experience with FreeBSD either. I already installed it something like 15 years ago...

Check with htop(1) - in the UPDATE 1 as I wrote - I was able to get as low as 82 MB RAM :)

Not desktop, but Raspberry pi Zero 2 with 15.0.2 idle after installation: weberjn@zero2:~ $ top -b last pid: 3650; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 up 0+13:13:04 07:47:06 25 processes: 1 running, 24 sleeping CPU: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.9% idle...

I still have to achieve this with a Raspberry 3 running as commercial display. It uses nfs-data from it's FreeBSD boss. I want to lose the sd-card because it's added risk of failure and theoretically 2 times computer maintainnce.. Did it already as experiment some time ago with other systems...

Guess the Zero 2W is the lowest end commodity hardware that runs FreeBSD. (Still you need a USB ethernet adapter, I got one that includes a USB hub, Berrybase Model 125148).

I have seen this pattern since late RPI 3 times ... with RPI 3/4/5 you get board only - with 'fixed' RAM and you still need case/fan/radiator/case/hat/... and not so recent - especially AMD Ryzen based - Mini PCs - are dirt cheap - offer 4-6/8 cores - RAM slots - native NVMe slots - case and...

https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/raspberry-pi-cheaper-than-mini-pc/ It's on Amazon at €219 but I bought it directly from the manufacturer at €179 with the first-time buyer's discount of €20. I'm just waiting for the €51 custom fee refund. Intel N150 is a lot faster than the A76. I find...

Agree. My setup is similar but much simpler: I have ONE server machine on my home network (which runs FreeBSD). If that machine is down, all networking is down: no routing, no DNS, no DHCP addresses, the WiFi is unreachable, and so on. That machine has a half-decent hardware clock (the typical...

It is still possible to install and run Home Assistant inside a python virtual environment, even if not supported. However, I don't recommend doing so unless you run on sufficiently powerful hardware. I run on a single-core ARM machine (similar to first gen Raspberry Pi), and every update takes...

On FreeBSD install they can put a version of windows for me. I exit installer , go to shell and grab the base.txz & kernel.txz :)

If you don't run fw_update you won't get the drivers on OpenBSD I believe. So just don't run that so you don't get those things installed. Also, answering "no" when the OpenBSD installer asks if you want X installed will prevent having X installed. Installing X and drivers is also optional in...

The "stated goals of the FreeBSD Foundation" to a large extent come from the donors. If one particularly large donor puts in a large 6-digit number of $$$ into the foundation to make desktop usage of FreeBSD work better, that becomes the goal of the foundation. So in some way, this is not a...

It's really not. It needs to be on because it's the entry way in a dark corner of the house. Around here the sun starts going down at like 3:30pm in the middle of the winter and darkness arrives even more quickly if it's an overcast day. I wouldn't necessarily know when the light needs to come...

You can run Homeassistant on FreeBSD, yes. But like many other linux-centric projects that nowadays only ship their "it runs on my laptop"-containers as official releases, because they have a shit-ton of outdated spaghetti-dependencies yet requiring the latest-and-buggiest versions of some other...

That is correct - a Raspberry Pi 3B+ - no battery RTC.
