Can you recommend a torrent client? Just for CLI, not GUI. Perhaps WEBUI, but even that seems too much.

Steady in a shifting Open Source world: FreeBSD’s enduring stability

Bastille turns "works on my machine" into "works in my jail" securely and repeatably.

It’s container automation, the FreeBSD way.

Studying at the morning is the best way to learn. I have successfully deployed Client1-Router-Client2 with netgraph and vnet. Screenshot 1 is the deployment result, and Screenshot 2 dot image produced by netgraph with some editing (my first time hacking Graphviz dot file, and so confusing. But actually quite simple).

My last objectives are to route the traffic between client 1 and client 2, and automate the netgraph process

Friends, it finally happened. On August 7th, 2025, the number of spamtraps intended to fool spammers rolled past the number of inhabitants in my home country of Norway. It's time for a retrospective.

I've never hidden my admiration for #illumos-based systems. I have a few setups based on #OmniOS and #SmartOS, and they're solid as a rock. I like them both: OmniOS is more "malleable", while SmartOS is more of a hypervisor like #xcp-ng or #xen - meaning you install it on the host and delegate everything else to the zones.

I also love #FreeBSD 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 #Linux. A free or top will show only the assigned RAM.

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!
