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.
Nice I wish you luck with that. I switched my desktop over years ago and have not looked back. Altough switching for me was fairly easy as I have been playing with FreeBSD in VMs for a while before that (so I was already familiar with the differences between the two OSes) and all my bare metal machines were running Arch Linux. Now just my work laptop runs Arch Linux.
