Hello all,
Glad to see that there is already a FreeBSD, and greater BSD, community already created on Lemmy. Although with 40 subscribers and the last post here being almost a month old let’s try and get this community rolling. To that end I pose the following question: What is your FreeBSD setup like?
For me I have a few FreeBSD boxes that I use. I have a general use desktop with herbstluftwm running where I do most non-work related things. I also have a small server that I use mainly for building a few ports that I maintain, and trying to get more into maintaining/contributing to other ports. I also have a Bhyve VM here running a dev version of PacBSD (kind of a defunct project sadly, but do intend to try and kick it off again). I also have a FreeBSD VM running on DigitalOcean which hosts my personal website and runs ZNC (toying with the idea of replacing this with a Matrix <-> IRC bridge as I experiment more with Matrix). I also have a FreeNAS box where I store most of my media (Music, TV shows, Movies, etc) that I access either with NFS to play locally on another box or through Emby.

As someone who doesn’t fully understand microkernels is developing for a microkernel system harder? From what I’m understanding more system functions are offloaded to the individual processes.
This talk by Andrew Tanenbaum would probably be worth checking out https://talks.discoverbsd.com/2016/01/31/a-reimplementation-of-netbsd-using-a-microkernel.html
There is quite a bit more complexity to microkernel systems, but they also give more flexability.
Thanks I’ll check them out
