After moving my #Matrix server from a Raspberry Pi to a amd64 machine the performance increased incredibly. The performance of #FreeBSD on #ARM has still room for improvement, I have to tell

I’m pretty frustrated about the #ESPRESSObin and the #FreeBSD support. Currently I’m not able to boot up without writing two commands by hand and after that I’m getting kernel panics when I’m trying to change the switch configuration.

#FreeBSD 12.1 did not recognise the internal switch of the ESPRESSObin so I had to build FreeBSD 13.0 from head. I have to say, it runs pretty stable so far.

Wohooooh, I got #FreeBSD booting on the Espressobin 🎉 Now I’ll have reproduce the steps and than I’ll publish them on my blog

Cross compiling FreeBSD on my Mac inside a VM using xhyve which is basically bhyve which is the FreeBSD hypervisor. Did I mention that I like FreeBSD very much? #FreeBSD

Maybe I should assign more than one core to the VM which is cross compiling the packets for my MIPS #FreeBSD router

Finally I got #FreeBSD 12 running on my #Ubiquiti ERL. Tomorrow I’ll do the PPPoE, routing, NAT and PF. Still need to cross compile some ports

Rainy weather, can't sleep. Meanwhile my ideas about a #FreeBSD router are evolving

Update day, also installed #FreeBSD 12.0 on the mail server. Still need to find a better way to do the backups

Here we go. I replaced #OpenVPN with #WireGuard since they released an iOS beta today. #IPv6 works out of the box like a charm. I got a wild mix of #MacOS, #iOS, #FreeBSD and #Linux. Everything worked just instant

After one year with #FreeBSD and another six month with different #Linux distributions, I decided to change back to a Mac. Unfortunatly there is nothing like the #Apple ecosystem
