Hey guys do you know any FreeBSD VPS provider with cryptocurrency payment ?
kub-kun
they are very cheap
kub-kun
personally I use vultr
Neruq
Gamers forthine
kub-kun
vultr supports btc and bitcoin cash

mvps support btc bitcoin cash and eth

I've always used separate disks for that. Maybe some guide like this dual-booting FreeBSD can help you @Extensible_Matrix
Thank you bro 👍
I finally could dual boot FreeBSD with fedora 😅
Does FreeBSD support any slice encryption ?? (Like Luks 2 in Linux)

I can't use paypal 😢
Vultr is fine

Does pkg have any functionality to verify the checksums of packages that are installed from other mirrors (Like Dnf) ???
I modified my /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf file and added USTC (China) mirror because the official mirror was slow. 😢

Is geom or bioctl compatible between FreeBSD And OpenBSD to crypt devices ?

Hey guys how i can use a GUI software with Xorg ? (Without any wm).
I type startx , but it uses twm.
i tried xinit firefox and it works , how i can use multiple GUI softwares with xorg ??
i tried xinit firefox gimp , but it errors 😢
I couldn't find anything about it in freebsd forums and freebsd handbook. Just a bunch of useless Linux tutorials which only work for bash.

Glad you made it (:
In FreeBSD you can investigate on ZFS encryption and geli(8) for such task

A window manager does just that, manages windows for you. If you want to run multiple xorg applications at a time, I'd go with a minimal wm. Otherwise you are going to need kinda managing them by on your own. That's mid-low level programming stuff I guess

So i should switch to Zfs 😅
FreeBSD is well documented 🥰

Which window manager do you recommend ?
Is twm okay or do you know a better option ?
I prefer to use command line for most of the tasks instead of GUI to learn how FreeBSD works 😅

You can try cwm, dwm or bspwm.
You are going to learn a lot too, since you need a terminal emulator as you main tool inside them.
If you want fancy icons, you have to setup them. Fancy buttons? Same, and so on. So don't worry

It was such a hassle trying to configure bspwm 😅
And i couldn't configure it the way i wanted 😂

i really like openbox
Openbox is beautiful but it was discontinued. 😢
ArchLab's openbox configuration is fine 😅

Dwm is the best wm of all time

You can use i3 or Fluxbox if you want minimalist WMs, both should be in the packagerepo

Hi Bruh
Hardcode
yeah. but ufs is like dead
Hardcode
unless you run some embedded stuff on nanobsd you should use zfs

Netflix uses ufs on their FreeBSD servers because of very high throughput
Hardcode
it is. nobody patches a gazillion of known issues.
Hardcode
they stay open for years.
Hardcode
and there's no single reason to use it in production (except given above)
Hardcode
all the netflix guys are under NDA, so these a rumors, possibly outdated
Hardcode
after all, you're not netflix

Hey guys i can't delete a non empty directory with :
doas rm -rf ~/dir
error : ufs_rmdir : Bad link count 2 on parent inode x in file system /

is my file system dead ??

i also moved that directory to /tmp and rebooted but it is still there 😳

In order to clean /tmp at boot you have to set it up that way
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ

Add
clear_tmp_enable="YES"
to /etc/rc.conf
Badugar
Or /tmp can be mounted as tmpfs in /etc/fstab
Badugar
That's what I have set on my systems, /tmp is tmpfs

Hardcode
yeah, fsck -y on an unmounted one
Hardcode
and if its tmpfs just drop and recreate it
Anonymous
yeah, fsck -y on an unmounted one
# umount -a
# fsck -yf /dev/ada0s4
# reboot
But that file hasn't been deleted yet 😢
Hardcode
well...
Hardcode
if it's /dev/ada0s4 then it just cannot be tmpfs
Hardcode
tmpfs it's an all-in-memory fs type
Hardcode
and since you're seem to be lost about what is and what isn't in your environment I'd suggest you recheck the whole setup to understand ^)

I just mounted an ext4 partitions , transfered a tar archive to FreeBSD , extracted that archive and now i want to delete all of those files from FreeBSD.
But i can't 😢

Hey bro is it possible to use zfs on MBR ???
My hardware is old (2009) so i can't use GPT Scheme 😢
I tried to somehow use zfs but i couldn't. (Selected partitioning manually)
1 :
freebsd-zfs (/)
freebsd-swap
(Couldn't boot FreeBSD)
2 :
freebsd-zfs (/)
freebsd-ufs (/boot)
freebsd-swap
(Couldn't boot FreeBSD)
3:
(On Qemu/KVM)
Selected GPT scheme
Selected partitioning manually
freebsd-zfs (/) (bsdinstall asked me to make a freebsd-boot , so that i can boot from this partition , but this option wasn't avaiable for MBR 😳)
freebsd-swap
(It boots without any error)

It would be possible I guess
https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS
The wiki is a bit outdated, but the first links complete the info.

Well that's just a way to UEFI. You can certainly do bare ZFS without any partitions and I guess it still can be made bootable.
Krond
The problem is that for updating boot code you would need to write data onto mounted partition. It's safe, as ZFS has some spare space inside for that.
Krond
MBR boot is easy, as you can go right through boot0 -> boot1 -> loader and boot from ZFS root, no need for separate /boot.
Krond
On UEFI it's kindda tricky as UEFI manages part of the boot process. So safe way to boot from UEFI is to create UEFI boot partition, then UFS /boot, then /.

Is ufs in freebsd the same filesystem that was used in v7 UNIX ?
Krond
Well, it evolved. Last version can do journaling and other neat stuff. But it's still direct descendant from FFS.
Phil
Yeah confirm : ufs and ffs aren't the same
