This is the URL of the project:

To manage the RAM, it looks like you get inspired by jmem but in the sh(1) way, well done I look into it.
Thanks.

I just hope they really think this through.
With that tendency of people to never be satisfied, developers could quickly regret their choice.

I was more concerned by the upgrade of jail directly via pkgbase itself rather than the conversion since I didn't see(may be i missed it) any procedure or notes about it.
Frankly I didn't even think what you did was possible but now that you tested it I am actually glad to know that it's working this way too, this will prevent people to rebuild all their old jails from zero.
Well done mate thank you for the report and the demonstration.

There is also the manual way, I am not saying it's perfect but sometimes it offers better alternative than getopt.

Nice article as usual mate, thank you.
I guess we all have to test this new tool at some point because pkgbase is the future for FreeBSD and 15.0 is suppose to come in December, it will be there in no time.
I really wonder how it's going to be for all existing jail managers and tools related to jails, updating(even creating?) jails will be a different procedure I suppose.
Did you experience pkgbase with jails yet?

 

A new project desktop-focused called Illumarine based on Illumos is coming, this is what the home page says:

Unix-like power, made simple
Illumarine brings the best of illumos, and other open-source Unix-like technologies to everyone.

The work looks at the early stage, I hope the best for the team.

That's explained in a simple way I like it.
The blog contains interesting other articles too, very nice!
Thank you :)

Hi, if you don't mind I add the original link because I think you forgot it in your post:
https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2025/07/08/crucial-freebsd-toolkit

I am a big fan of lsblk, naturally it is installed on every freebsd box, you did a good job with this tool ;-)
Very informative blog post, thank you.
