Bastille includes a pre-defined keyword [ALL|all] to target all running containers.
It is also possible to target multiple jails by grouping them in quotes, as seen here:
bastille cmd "jail1 jail2 jail3" echo "Hello World!"

On FreeBSD if you want to list only the packages you explicitly specified to install (excluding packages that were pulled in as dependencies), run:
$ pkg prime-list
This can be useful for duplicating the list of packages installed on another machine.

Backups are an easy task to put off but WOW do you feel the pain when a file is mistakenly deleted or a storage device fails!
I use a combination of ZFS tools + bash scripting + cron(8) to perform an automated daily backup of the contents of my home directory to the home server (both machines are running FreeBSD):

When I complain that some software (or its dependencies) doesn't work on *BSD but requires Linux, I'm not criticizing Linux. For me, it's not an OS battle, but a matter of freedom and avoiding a dangerous and rampant computing monoculture. And when people reply to me with "well, just use it on Linux" - while they're giving me sensible advice - they're missing the crucial point: if it ONLY runs on Linux, it's not Linux's fault, but we are, precisely, creating a dangerous monoculture.
I am so happy. I finally got new AX210 on #freebsd to connect to my wifi at 5ghz and i'm seeing 6x increase in speed. Not obvious:
I made sure the country and domain where set in the config, but that didn't do it.
The issue is that my SSID has 3 channels and it always selected the first one ( the 2ghz ).
I needed to specify the freq_list in the wpa_supplicant config to only 5k channels.

What a big surprise! I just found out that #OpenBSD suspend to S3 and wake up worked flawlessly on my #ThinkPad T470S. #X with good old #Fvwm and network with WiFi worked fine after wakeup. Fn function keys for backlight. I previously tested #FreeBSD and everything was working great too which is no surprise at all. I don't know if it's because tp had better support for #Unix or because devs tend to use tp thus support them at greater effort. Nevertheless, this is the best performance for the puffy and the beastie I have even seen on bare metal.

Signups are currently deactivated!
We're now slightly below 1000 free VPS instances!
Within the last few weeks, coming with new locations around the world, we got more and more signups, where people can also test their setups across different geo locations @BoxyBSD.
Unfortunately, this also increases the required support which is really time consuming and only handled by @gyptazy. While everything is fully automated, support is another thing and I need a short break. Hope to open the signups quickly again.
PS: This project is completely free, not even any donation possibilities etc - just imagine a box would only cost 1$.
One of the main problems afflicting the cross-compatibility of modern software is dependencies. I'm trying to run some software on FreeBSD. It's written in Node.js, so I'd expect it to work. However, a dependency (which isn't direct, but a dependency of a dependency) doesn't release binaries for FreeBSD and fails to compile, meaning the whole thing falls apart. Even though it's just a dependency of a dependency.
I'm looking into ways to get it running anyway, somehow (it seems to work with Linuxulator but then errors out), but this trend, unfortunately, reminds me of the era of Winmodems: back then people would say, "Well, why don't you just use Windows and solve the problem?"
Today, the answer is often, "Well, just install Linux and you're sorted, right?"

ZFS snapshots are useful for tracking changes in my home directory, but these snapshots are stored locally on the device. They are not backups of the data. To employ snapshots as part of my personal backup strategy, these local snapshots need to be copied to a remote device.
I use zfs-send and zfs-receive to make the first full back up from my laptop to my home server. Subsequent incremental backups then track changes over time:

OK, I have the forks of #lazyvim and the starter up, i've made the modifications for my stuff to pull in ... my stuff, and i've removed the lua_ls ... an that failure is done.
I might add the "reset nvim" script i wrote too.
Now I'll move my nvim plugins from my other config, maybe add a rust lua server, and see where we get
